Marriage is never a competition Nd besides who told u that if u marry early let's say 25 or 30 that its a guarantee that u will ve babies so early? I know of a guy that got married earlier than his elder brother because he said he wants his kids to be all grown by the time he gets to 50, he is about 48 now no issue. The elder bros that married 4yrs after,is now 52 with grown boys Nd girls. Also even if u starts having issue immediately,is it a guarantee that they will grow to become successful people in life? Just pray to ur God to always lead u in everything u do,so pls don't try to compete with anybody in life especially in marriage.Also marrying at 35 should not be ur worry,u should ask urself if u re ready,mentally,emotionally spiritual Nd even financially.




I LOVE YOU FOR WRITING THESE. No matter the pressure, u need to be ready mentally, spiritually, emotionally etc. those who pressurize you won't be the ones to live with you and your spouse. No age is too late. Just like in education, i know someone whom her parents made her jump either two or three classes just to be in secondary schl. She graduated from secondary schl at age 13 but struggled to secure admission into the higer institution. Unfortunately for her, she dint get into schl till after 6years. Who knows! Maybe God was protecting her from something. Long story short, We all have our time and God's time is the best. We only need God's guidance.

I sincerely need to know our views about getting married at the age of 35 for men. Is it late to marry at 35?
Bros marriage is never about children,its about sharing and giving(kids are the gift that comes from that love,acceptance and sharing)..search within yourself, if you know you can give without expecting, love without complaining and share without grumbling then you are ready.this 2017 not 1900, evolution has catch up with us and reason for marriage has change from populating to nurturing.... In fact I will prefer marrying late for men cos by then ur gene would av undergone evolutionary trait to become matured and that maturity transfer to your kids if u eventually have one.

Men who wait untill rich to marry usually have the worst type of marriage.

Any empirical evidence to support your claim?

@Post, as a man you can marry anytime. Nature and psychology supports men. This is unlike females (assuming she desires not to procreate). But then, one can still procreate without being married.

there's no perfect time for marriage ,especially for man. I want to get married and have one or two kids when I'm 40 to a 20 year old girl. when I'm 60 she'll be 40. When i'm 80,my kids will be 40 and grand child will be around 12 .
Lionel Richie is 70 and his son is 20 year old . Michael Jackson would have been 60 and his daughter is 19 years old . Quincy Jones is 88 and his son is 44 years old . Leonardo DiCaprio is 42 and single .
who made the rules that everyone must get married and have kids like zombies? I want only one child ,and marriage is not a top priority to me .

your view point is based on Nigeria's short life expectancy. 100s of thousands of people live to their 100s . Lionel Richie is 68 and his son is 23 year old .

op,35 is not late jare. a man should be at least 35 before considering marriage

Yes it is late by the time you are 35, you will be under self-pressure
to find mrs right and you may end up with someone you wouldn't
hook up with while you are in your 20s.

Men should start planning their marriage by age 28 unless their
is financial constraint.

Nigerians with their stupid reasons and stupid mentalities. if you impregnate a girl at 18,wouldn't you hit 60 or die before? your Davido is 24 and he fan feed your entire generation,so why not work hard like Davido's father before marriage and give birth to below 25 year old children that are better than Davido rather than giving birth to 45 year old agberos that weren't raised properly. what if you rush to marriage in your 20's and your wife fails to give birth until 15 years after? Nigerians can be so foolish sha. Donald Trump's 10 year old son can buy you bro

Yes its late, your mate's children by then should be 5 years old or even 6.

Some peeps marry at 25 and never give birth until 50. Now, are they better than those who marry at 40 and give birth shortly after marriage?

this is the lamest reason ive ever seen. well,you seem not to have an option and you seem to be lazy and broke,but everybody is not like you. I know many over 35year old guys dating girls that can never talk to you. why do Nigerians think this way? gush! most men are like 10 or 10+ years older than their wives,my parents inclusive,so its bad for a 25+ year old girl to marry now? George Clooney in his 50's just got married to Amal Clooney,one of the most beautiful and successful lawyers I know,Salman Khan in his 50's is dating one great lady,same foes with Hrithik,Brad Pitt was in his 40's when he started dating a great beautiful woman like Angelina Jolie and many more like that. older men get greater ,better and more successful women. Dr Robert Ray,Jay Z,Diddy in his 40's is dating Casey,a famous popstar,so which woman can match the success and beauty of those ladies I listed above? those men wouldn't have got those powerful gorgeous ladies in their 20's when they were still struggling

There's much more to marriage than procreation. Besides technology has made it possible for women to give birth in their 60s.

Still marry young and grow with ur wife.
Those who wait have it worse.

you're so on point my guy. Africans have rotten mentality. John Abraham married his young beautiful wife in his 40's,Salman Khan is 50 and single,goes for many right thinking people. this mentality is what is causing massive poverty and overpopulation in a country that needs help like Nigeria

No is not late at 35.don't marry because you see ur friends are doing it because you might regret later.the best thing to do you marry when you are ready then you have rest of mind.some men get married 40 to 50 and they still do best than those that married early.

You don't get it, I talk about planning for marriage, not marriage.
Guys who starts getting serious about marriage at 35+ usually ends
up with girls they wouldn't have married while younger because many
have lost the privilege of being choosy due to the fear of the unknown,
this isn't about the age of the girls involved, it is about the girls personality.

Unless you plan never to marry, it is not in your best interest to wait
till 35 to choose your life partner.
Even in life, those who wait till deadline to act usually ends up with below
average results.

It is poor logic to tag my post as a Nigerian thinking, in fact, such thinking
can be found with men who planned their lives in any country. You sound
so condescending.

What do you mean by girls that can never talk to you ?

The 30 billion Naira Omo Baba Olowo (OBO) hip hop star DAVIDO on Sunday vomited blood from his mouth while on a stage performance in Lagos.

According to fans and spectators during the event, OBO got a round of applause when he first appeared on stage but later got groans of disgust as the fans watched him vomit blood.
