Uti Nwachukwu, a Nigerian media personality and actor, has sparked a heated debate about the ideal age for men to marry.

The reality show star stated that men should only consider marriage when they are over the age of 40.

In an interview with Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa, the reality TV star stated that men should enjoy single life for a long time before considering marriage.

He also believes that women should enter the lifetime institution once they reach the age of 30.

In his words: “I might be Kamala Harris’ age when I decide to get married, I don’t know. Until you are ready. I don’t believe in monogamy when you’re young but there are exceptions to every rule. Do you understand?

“There are some people that monogamy would work for when they’re young but the average person, I’ve always said, I don’t think any man has any business marrying before 40. To me, it doesn’t make me right. Between 35 – 40, I will say 35-40.

“For women, apart from those that are afraid of their biological clock, but then again, how many children do women want these days? And please there is technology these days too. I don’t think any woman should be married before 30.

“You have to experience life as a single. You have to weigh your options. For me, leave the spiritual contract of it, the same way I will say leave a government contract of it, because marriage is a contract between you, me, and God.

He concluded, “Leave contract, leave the agreement. If you don’t want to commit to somebody, don’t make it official, whether in the presence of God, whether in the presence of the government, whether in the presence of your family. Once you agree, integrity is integrity. There is no excuse.”
