“Dear You: The Shocking Reality of Marrying at 21 to a 60-Year-Old Man – A Parenting Fail?”

Dear Nigerians

Dear You

At 21 what do you know?
At 60 what do you know?

Why will any mother or parent allow their child to marry a 60-year-old man at age 21?

She doesn’t know better.
But the man should know better.

What should a 21-year-old breast be doing in your hand or mouth?

But it’s culture and tradition to a people. Some culture needs to change.

Parenting however keeps failing.

Because even parents who should know, don’t know.

No sane and well-educated parent will give her daughter out in marriage to a man that old.

But life is a funny place. At the end of the day, maybe it’s normal. Maybe there is a way to imagine a 60-year-old man in bed with a 21-year-old woman.

It’s all about choices.

But I made silly choices at a young age.
Without the guidance of my parents. At 21, I don’t think I was making the perfect decisions.
