Venita Akpofure, a former participant of Big Brother Naija, has expressed her opposition to early marriage.

During an interview with Tacha on The Big Friday Show, the reality star, who is also an actress and video vixen, advised young women to delay the idea of getting married until they reach approximately 28 years old. She provided rationale for her viewpoint by explaining that the twenties are a crucial period for exploration and self-discovery, during which individuals should engage in diverse life experiences to make well-informed decisions about marriage.

While acknowledging that some young women may possess maturity beyond their years, Venita still advocates for trying out different things before committing to marriage. She stressed the importance of possessing mature skills, such as navigating challenging times and understanding oneself, before embarking on the marital journey.

“Don’t marry young o! Don’t go and do “I’m doing high school sweetheart, we die here”, just be young! Be young, enjoy your life. When you’re tired, get married.”

Do not marry young, I’m saying ideally — okay if my daughter came and approached me that she was ready to get married, if my daughter approaches me, as long as she’s not I swear to God, not up to 28, we can rock with it. Anything below 28, please no.”

“Because you’re going to change your mind and you don’t know all of who you are at 20-something. Don’t get me wrong, there are people who are mature oh. But you need to try different things in life, different experiences, to be sure of okay, I want to be stuck here. Because it’s handcuff, you’re there.”

Because you’re stuck – that’s the social idea. Unless you’re Westernized like me, then you’re unstuck, you can unstuck yourself. I’m divorced. The ones that are enjoying now, ‘ll probably still reach a time where they’ll probably hate each other and still have to be in the same space.

“I’m telling you! Why do you think to say them get madam room and oga room? When the ground is shaking and I need space, I need space. Be in your room, I’ll be in my room. To me, in an ideal marriage, my husband would have a wonderful house here, and mine would be over here, and there would be magnificent corridors connecting the two houses.”
