People should realise that if a woman is single or isn’t married, it’s likely because she’s taking her time or hasn’t found the proper person yet.
She asserted that marriage requires a lot of work and that if people are compelled to get married without being ready, they may eventually rush out of the union.

In her words,
“I feel like it’s only in this part of the world that people make a big fuss about a woman not being married at a certain age.”
She continued, “you hear questions like, “Aunty, why are you not married?”
“Is she going to marry herself? Some even go so far as to ask, “Se you no go go born one? We need to understand that when a woman isn’t married, it is because she is taking time or hasn’t found the right one.”
