Big Brother Naija reality star and actress, Venita Akpofure has urged young people not to get married until they are “tired” of enjoying themselves.
According to her, she would advise her daughter not to get married until she is at least 28.
The divorced mother of two said getting married at a young age isn’t a wise decision because choices change with age.
Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, hosted by Tacha, Venita said: “Don’t marry young. Don’t go and be doing High School sweetheart. Be young, enjoy your life. When you are tired, get married.
“Ideally, if my daughter approaches me that she is ready to get married, as long as she is not up to 28, we can rock with it. Anything below 28 is a no. Because you’re going to change your mind and at 20 something, you don’t know all you are. Don’t get me wrong, there are people that are matured but you need to try different things in life to be sure you want to be stuck here [marriage].”
She said her ideal marriage is living in a separate house with her husband with a “magnificent corridor” connecting the buildings.
