Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his insights on why many women find themselves unmarried in their 30s. According to Kanayo, the choices women make in their younger years often lead to their singleness later in life.
In a recent interview with News Central, Kanayo explained that many women in their 20s prioritize dating older, married men who offer financial security over younger, prospective husbands. This decision, he believes, ultimately affects their chances of getting married in their 30s.
Kanayo illustrated his point with a scenario: “A young woman in university starts dating a rich, older man. She rejects advances from younger men because she’s ‘operating on a high level’ with her wealthy partner. By the time she’s 25, 26, she’s unmarried and less attractive to potential husbands.
“Kanayo’s comments highlight the societal pressures and expectations placed on women to get married by a certain age. He emphasized that women who remain unmarried in their 30s often face stigma and are deemed “prayer points” or “states of emergency.” younger years as a contributing factor.
