Reverend Father Oluoma, a Catholic priest, has offered advice to women aged 35 and above who are seeking marriage.
He suggests breaking traditional gender norms by encouraging them to pursue men they are interested in, even if those men lack the courage to approach them directly.
In his words;
‘’At 35 years of age, my dear sister…You are waiting for a man who would come and propose to you at the airport? 35 years? You are not ready oh! You are waiting for a man to come and propose to you…You don dey enter men-o-pause….What it means is that men will pause.
Break the law! I am saying it and it might sound funny but I am serious. ..If you are a young girl here , marriage is your calling, you know you can be a good wife , good mother, you desire it and you are 35, If you happen to see any guy who is interested in you but he does not have the courage, you discover that this guy has shown signs of liking you but he doesn’t have the courage to speak to you…My dear sister, break the useless law, approach that guy and say ‘Bro, I have noticed you look at me somehow. I know you like me, you don’t have the courage. The guy will ‘mumuishly’ be laughing.”
