Olemerezi Basil, a Nigerian businessman and motivational speaker, has counselled young men and women not to tow the path of Nigerian actress Rita Dominic in tying the knot at age 46.
The business education graduate of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma stated this on his Facebook page as he shared his thoughts on the Tuesday, April 19 marriage of the actress that became the talk of the town.
According to Basil, there is no sweetness in marrying at the age of 46.
Basil explains his standpoint
Basil said that one should be celebrating 20 years of marriage at the age of 46 and not a new union.
The educationist explained that women have a higher possibility of giving birth to intelligent kids when they marry between the ages of 22 to 28, adding that the chances of doing so at 46 are slim.
While admitting that it is God that gives husbands, he advised women to stop being selective if they must marry before 46.
His post read in part:
“At 46 you should be celebrating 20years of marriage anniversary with your husband and your 20years old undergraduate by your side, even though it God that bless with kids.
“The joy of celebrating each year marriage anniversary is greater than the enjoyment and publicity of marrying at 46.
“As educationist, I will categorically tell you that women have higher chances of giving birth to their most intelligent kids at their prime-age of between 22 – 28 so tell me how high or low is the probability of giving birth to an intelligent child at 46.
“I know it God that gives husbands but stop being selective and you will get marry before 46.”
