It is very obvious that u cooked up this story just to get attention because the story just dosent add up. No Nigerian parent who struggled to train his/her child will give her up for marriage unless they are extremely poor or the guy is wealthy and in any case they wont seek your advise before taking a decision. Nonetheless ill share my views; If d guy is mature in every sense and has achieved a lot for himself materially, emotionally then she may CONSIDER it, otherwise she shd obtain her degree first. The reason why i said that is because Money plays a very vital role in determining the success of any marriage even when there is love. With money, love can grow but without it, it could be very difficult unless they have genuine love for each other and are willing to stick together no matter the circumstance. Kanu married Amara when she was 18 and they are still together so age dosent really matter provided he is mature enough, has d financial wherewithal to take care of her and is not just lusting after her young body. But from what u posted, i can deduce that the imaginary guy is not mature enough, since he is only attracted by her skin color and is only lusting after her. Next time, think thoroughly b4 cooking up a story. Fiction is an art and it requires some level of intelligence. 1 Like |

Mosesbutez: Simply tell him that your sister is not ready cos in this Nigeria if anything happens like death, separation or divorce(variables) which I cancel though. Your sister will not be able to cope, she will then become a burden to your family. This is recession period. Once she marries na to dey born pikin. For her to pick up again, she may find it difficult or lose interest entirely in school. 4 years is not too far to wait. Besides his reasons for marriage are shallow. Is he Mrcork? Light skin lover. 1 Like |

If she wants to marry, let her marry. It seems he is way older than her, hence he is rushing things. She could marry after gaining admission into school. Then they both can decide to not get pregnant until she is through with school. |

Mosesbutez:Are you a 'Yor' man / woman In btw read this Omotola's Interview: http://www.onigeria.com/news/36958.html “I don’t care much about it. I don’t even want to think about that because I got married early. What I always tell people is that all fingers are not equal. The fact that I got married early does not mean that my own child will get married early. My mother didn’t marry early. So it is not hereditary. But if my daughter wants to get married early and I like the guy and If I see that he is responsible enough, why not?” |

getting married at 20yrs is not ideal. at this stage,shes infatuated and i bet u, op the guy wont complete her education. my advice:d guy shud b patient, make she gain admission in d university, then year 3,he can marry her,by then shes sure, she truly wants him as a life partner. pls talk to her and yur parents to hold on for some years. suitors are ready to promise heaven on earth.pls let him wait |

It's just not about age, their are 20yr olds that are awaiting their Nysc. If your sis has gone thru tertiary institution, then she is mentally ready to get married. But I am afraid she is not ready yet, not because of age but because of lack of exposure, experience on how to deal with things, how to manage school stress with religion and social life, deal with lack of funds. Of course there are loads of them we met while at school, engaged to a man and still fvcking us with all their heart. Your sis thinks she's in love with him because he's the only reasonable guy paying attention to her for now...lol. Pls insist your sis at least gets an admission FIRST. 1 Like |

CaroLyner: Any girl who is not matured at 20 is a dummy already. In this fast moving world, you will be thinking slow? @ 20 every girl should be a graduate to face her career. However, marriage is part of a woman's career. |

Not good. Not advisable. A girl of 20 years who is just about to get admission. How is she going to combine matrimony with academics? If she had been in university or better still in 300 or 400 level, it would be better but in 100 level, not good. Let the man wait till she is in 400 if he truly loves her. Ewoni iranu? 1 Like |

Please don't marry out that little girl at 20. Let her complete her 1st degree at least before thinking of marriage. These days people are gunning for masters degree. You are funny o, you said the boy is from a good home, are his parents going to feed the girl for him? 1 Like |

Its OK is she has a good suitor. My major fear is that your little sister may start to misbehave when she gets to the University. The guy is taking a big risk with your sister. |

Mosesbutez: The guy in question gave lame reasons for wanting to marry your sister. Can she handle the test of time concerning the demands of marriage? If he can wait for two years why not till the girl finishes her education, stable physically, emotionally et all. This is twenty-first century it's a probability the guy will make her a full house wife, anything she needs will be demanded from the guy, who does that in this age? What happens if the promise he made about sponsoring her through her tertiary education wasn't fulfilled, she becomes semi illiterate? God forbid if something happens to the guy, can she run the family? Will the guy's family not call her a gold digger and send her out if something bad happens? Are you sure the guy will not later call her semi illiterate and take another woman in? It's all boils down to the main question you should ask yourself which is: If you are in her shoes what will you do? 2 Likes |

The guy don't even have enough strong reasons to marry her... Especially talking about liking fair skinned ladies. That alone will be my reason of not letter her in Any way closer to my sister. She's still young and her skin and d beauty he saw is still fresh, so once that stuff he saw in her start changing after some time, he will surely go to another family and look for another fresh fair skinned lady. Allow your sister get something working for her, if it's for her to start with schooling, and other training while in school, and lastly leave her to decide if she like d said man or choose another person... Am not married yet But I know what doesn't make sense from what do make sense. #Save #Your #Sister and defend her in all ways, she will thank you in future. 1 Like |
