Nollywood legend, Kanayo .O. Kanayo has said most women who remain unmarried at the age of 35 years are not happy with their state.
Barrister Kanayo said most women between the ages of 20 to 24 years miss their chances of marriage because they most times prefer dating rich older men to accepting advances from prospective suitors.
In an interview on Monday on News Central, Kanayo stressed that at ages 28 to 35 years most unmarried women feel bad being unmarried.
“A young girl will be in the university at 18, 19, 20. She starts dating a very rich guy, sometimes very old. Then what you see along the line is that because the guy is very rich, maybe married. She refuses advances of other younger people to her because this guy has either gotten her a car and a house. So to her, she’s operating at 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. Before you know it, she turns 25, 26, unmarried because she’s refusing the advances of younger prospective husbands. I’m telling you a story I treated. It’s called After 33,” he said.
The Nollywood veteran continued, “Now she gets into 29, 30. By that time, she has left the university and men are no longer maybe finding her that attractive. So she gets into 31, husband is not coming.
“And what do you have? At 23 is a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. At 33, she is now declared a state of emergency. Because husbands would not come at that level of 33 years. Some of them get to 35 and you see them and you still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now a state of emergency praying that God brings anyone.”
