Bisi was 24 years of age when she met Tunde. Tunde was everything a lady would pray to God for in a man, God-fearing, ambitious with a great sense of humor. They had been dating for eight months when Bisi decided to tell her mother about him.

Mummy: Where is he from?
Bisi: Tunde is from Ijebu, mummy.
Mummy: No way! God forbid! No child of mine will marry an Ijebu person.

That marked the end of Tunde and Bisi.

Over the years, Bisi, because of her good character was never short of suitors but "unfortunately" she seemed to only attract men from Ijebu. She couldn't help but run once she knew they were Ijebus.

Now she is 35 years of age, still single and desperate. Mummy now says, "Bisi, you are not getting any younger just bring any man" but sadly no man is looking her way again.

This story though fictitious, clearly illustrates how some parent because of archaic beliefs indirectly hinder the progress of their children. At times the reason why some are still single at 35 is not because they are yet to find the right person but because of some silly beliefs they need to let go of. What do you think?

What is wrong with being 35 and single? Being in a relationship is not all there is to life.

Wifey.....you know some societies isn't strict on age appropriate marriages and some are very obsessed on age appropriate marriage.


You are right, it is not against the law to be single.

The post is not about age and single-hood. It is about the role of some archaic belief systems.

Yay! I can bonk Bisi with no strings attached, and no husband to worry about.

Yea the post is abt archaic or what bullshiiit system at the same time, the post is kinda criticizing single hood.

'Now she is 35 years of age, still single and desperate. Mummy now says, "Bisi, you are not getting any younger just bring any man" but sadly no man is looking her away again'.

You are free to give your own judgement of the post after all there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Purpose defines living nothing easy.

Relax Roq, this thread is for those who would rather be married at 35 and are not and those who are not yet 35 and dont want to be 35 and unmarried, hmm? Good. Now if you cannot help these sets of people, either watch from the sidelines or dont open this thread at all. Typing irrelevancies to threads wastes the time(s) of those who are around to seek education, dont be wasting other peoples' time(s) sweety. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Let's all be open-minded and pretend that at 35, we will feel fulfilled while our mates are crowing to each other about Junior's spectacular performance at the inter-house sports or common entrance exams.

Let's all pretend that ,as 25-29 year olds , we dont feel heart pangs/ throbs when a cute 3-year old girl with ribbon tied hair comes to curl up in our laps or hugs you tightly.

Let's all pretend.

Abeg free these pipu with their feel-good philosophy, it's just like drugs, once the effects wear off you get a hard jolt back to reality.

Are u 35 and single?

Still waiting for someone to make a reasonable contribution to the message" how to overcome archaic beliefs that hinder people of different tribes from marrying"

I can never marry ijebus joor.
They were responsible for the owu war of the 1820's that decimated almost the whole population of the egba.
I'd marry a Fijian instead.
