Kanayo pointed out that numerous women in their 20s often choose to date older, affluent men, frequently those who are already married, instead of considering younger potential partners.
He observed that these women frequently place a higher value on financial security than on the opportunity to establish a relationship with someone closer to their age.
As a result, by the time they reach their late 20s and early 30s, their options for marriage become quite limited.
He highlighted that men often lose interest in women who are viewed as being past their prime, leaving these women in a position where they find themselves yearning for a partner, having declared their situation a “state of emergency.”
In a recent interview with News Central, Kanayo remarked, “A young girl will be in university at 18, 19, 20; she starts dating a very rich guy, who is sometimes very old too. Then what you see along the line is that, because the guy is very rich and probably married, she refuses the advances of other younger people because the guy has either gotten her a car or a house. So to her, she’s operating on 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. And before you know it, she turns 25, 26 unmarried because she refuses the advances of younger prospective husbands. She gets to 29 and 30; by that time, she has left university and men are no longer finding her that attractive.
“So she gets to 31, and the husband is not coming. And what do you have? At 23, she’s a flex. At 28, she becomes a prayer point. After 33, she’s declared a state of emergency. Because husbands will not come at that level of 33 years. Some of them get to 35 unmarried. And they still think that they are having fun. They are not having fun. They are now in a state of emergency praying that God brings anyone.”
