Veteran Yoruba actress Ayo Mogaji recently shared her thoughts on the struggles women face with marriage, especially as they approach 35. In an interview on Oyinmomo TV’s YouTube channel, she gave advice to women who are still single by that age.
Mogaji suggested that women who aren’t married by 35 should consider having a child, even if the man isn’t ready to be a father. She stressed the importance of becoming a mother and encouraged women to follow their desire for a family instead of waiting for the perfect moment.
She also pointed out that many women focus too much on their careers and personal achievements, which can delay marriage. While success is important, Mogaji warned that time moves fast, and women may later feel unfulfilled in their personal lives.
Additionally, she mentioned how some men view women between 35 and 40, which can make dating even harder for women in this age group, adding more pressure as they try to balance their choices and wishes.
Mogaji said, “A woman who can’t find a husband at age 35 should get pregnant for any man to have a child. If the woman can find any man she is close to, even if he isn’t ready to take responsibility, she should go ahead and have a child.”
