It's not only on the path of the ladies tho... Young guys also marry elder women (MILF ). Like Nick and Mariah Carey

Come!This person,are you dense?We talking Naija,you talking Marian..mtcheewwww...

Mznaett:


Guy,,are you a friend to my "ex" cuz you lie like him

Better take your chance now..You might not be lucky with an old wealthy dude..

So Zik was apparently 70 when he married a 16 years old girl, no? And the overwhelming majority if these disgusting pedos are Igbos.

That shows it is not only the Northern Muslims who are guilty of sha.gging - Igbos are also involved in the shameful act. So why all the propaganda making it a Northern thing, when it is bigger than one region?

I still don't understand what a 70-year old man saw in a 16-year old girl. That is just disgusting and shameful, and threads like this one should never grace the FP due to how influential he was. Ditto Ojukwu and his marriage to his god daughter.

I don't like this thread.

If you guys are of the opinion that these girls are gold diggers what do you say about a 35yrs old mallam marrying a 12 yrs old Isha? Isn't tha age gap that much too? Afterall the age diff btwn our incumbent president and his wife isn't a small something. Does that also mean Isha Buhari is a gold digger?

This shows the misconception that you must be "in love" with someone to marry.

Love is a requirement "in" marriage, not "for" marriage.

It's incumbent on the man to "love" the woman he marries, and the woman to "submit" to the man she is married to.

@OP, but why is your case study only Igbo couples, is this phenomenon peculiar to a particular tribe?

Freemanan:

GBAM... No love!

Love is not enough for marriage

tunde1200:
Islam does not in anyway allow this bro.

Oh. I have been seeing lots of them getting married to their daughter's age mate. I thought it is permitted...

What is?

Don't try to create a scene... It could have been any tribe. Pele.

Empero1:
Broke people always think that they have better opinion . For all I care and know , the word " LOVE " is ambiguous , therefore it cannot stand on its own without other virtues . In summary , different people has different virtues they find in the opposite sex that warrants them to agree to relationship/marriage . Yours might be that he has big dick , big bicep , large heart , tall etc . While another might be that he has money , is wise , short , influential etc . In the end , it all boiled down to the saying " to each his own " .

Don't be foooolish..Can't you brainstorm for once in your life?All these so called "virtues" seem to be good enough for tieing the knot..You are obviously not married and still reasoning like a juvenile.. Marriage is for MATURED ADULTS..Don't come here and talk nonsense..GROW UP!A lot of young one today,especially the women folk are just plain hollow and dense in their ways..Anyone with the confidence that he'll achieve his heart desire wouldn't start doing rubbish like marrying a much much older person all for money..what really is the big deal in making money..ANY WHITEWASHED FOOOL CAN MAKE MONEY..A lot of folks just don't have that orientation..Young folks just sit back and daydream of a good life..and the way out is to marry and older person that has his life juices almost spent..SACRILEGIOUS!!!

@OP, You get time sah. Ladies who marry 'baba olowo' do so, to achieve there dream by having a legal claim to spend his money. Example: Lara Oshiomole. She is more famous than Abimbola Fashola(wife).

The main part is, its all about give and take. The 'baba olowo' need fresh whole; and the babe need money and fame to reach where she wants to. She as nothing to contribute than are point zero and given the man children[lucky 4her if she gat male child] who will futher seal that baba olowo famous name.

For me I don't believe it's for money, because none of this girls mentioned is from poor famill simple

naijaboiy:

Yea I stated that too.

Ten years gap is pretty okay and to me that should be the height.

But 30-50?

What bout 12 yr gap?

Freemanan:

Yeah... Tho ISLAMS should be exempted since their religion condone it.

Where did you see in the bible that an old man should not marry a young maiden?

Christian religion does not prohibit marriage between consenting adults, they have to live with the consequences anyway.

Gurgle:
Freemanan I know this is not really relevant but it was Nkwa Umuagbogho, it cant be Nkwa Nwite, that group is for middle-aged women, please

Noted. Thanks dear.

I didn't say Christians don't. It's not just a popular practice among them.

Yeah... There what is called "Sustainable development". Such marriage is geared at it. To bring more money, higher status and in the case Where the family is involved, more prosperity and connections. A broke girl can't really marry a billionaire nau, Where she wan see am? You have to be doing well to some extent too.

How many successful marriages today can be evidence to your claim? Young couples make the best love stories and couples. I stand to be corrected.

Beauty of a free world.

Whatever be the case those doing so have their reasons which may be similar or totally different from the outlined ones. They are doing so for status- money, fame, position, power among others.
