Famous Nigerian Catholic priest, Rev Fr Chinenye Oluoma, has urged women who have clocked 35 years and desire to marry not to wait for men to propose to them.
Oluoma suggested that women in that age bracket should break the law and convention by approaching men first, especially men, who have shown signs of liking to them, instead of waiting endlessly in vain.
The clericโs advice was contained in a video he shared on his Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to him, those who were above 35 years and continue to wait for men to propose to them suggested they were not yet ready for marriage.
โAt 35 years of age, my dear sister, you are waiting for a man who will come to propose to you at the airport. 35 years? Youโre not ready. You are waiting for a man to come and propose to you. โYou don de enter menopauseโ. Menopause โmeans that men will pauseโ.
โBreak the law! Iโm saying this, but it may sound funny. If youโre a young girl and you know marriage is your calling; you can be a good mother. You happen to see any guy who is interested in you, but doesnโt have courage. You know some guys like some ladies, but they donโt have the courage, some guys donโt have the courage. You discover that this guy have shown signs of liking you, but doesnโt have the courage of talking to you. My dear sister, break that useless law. Approach that guy. Break that useless convention. Meet the guy and say โBro, I know you like me, but you donโt have the courageโ. Tell him โI will make it easy for youโ. Tell him your good qualities.โ
