Kanayo O Kanayo, the Nollywood actor, has shared his thoughts on why some women in their 30s struggle to find suitable partners.
In a recent chat on Soni Irabor Live, the 62-year-old film star attributed the phenomenon to the choices some women make in their younger years.
Kanayo said when some ladies are in their teens or early twenties, they often prefer to date older, wealthy men, neglecting the advances of their peers.
He argued that these women become “unattractive” to suitors when they reach their 30s and may not have a suitable partner.
“Some girl will be in the university at 18, 19, 20, she starts dating a very rich guy, sometimes, very old too. Then what you see along the line is that because the guy is very rich and probably married, she refuses the advances of other younger people because the guy has either gotten her a car or a house,” he said.
“So to her, she is operating on a very high level. From 22, she goes on to 24 and maybe even if she quarrels with this guy, she gets the next guy. And before you know it, she turns 25, 26 unmarried because she refuses the advances of younger prospective husbands.
“She gets to 29 and 30, and by that time, she has left the university and men are no longer finding her that attractive.
“So she gets into 31, husband is not coming. And what do you have? At 23, she is a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. After 33, she’s declared a state of emergency.
“Because husbands will not come at that level of 33 years. Some of them get to 35 unmarried. And they still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now in a state of emergency praying that God brings anyone.”
