THE STATEMENT

“Women should use their 20’s to build their career and marry in their 30’s”-Wendy William This statement has being trending on different social media platform for some time now and I just can’t help but write down what I feel about the statement Wendy William made on my diary today. Wendy William was given birth to on the 18th of July, 1964 and she has being married to Kevin hunter since 1997, Kevin hunter also happens to be Wendy’s manager. Wendy is 50 years old and subtracting her year of birth from the year she got married tells one that she married at the age of 33 (does this mean she is talking from the experience angle?) NO! She isn’t because before she got married to Kevin hunter she had come out from a divorce already. ‘’FROM SOURCE: [in her biography, Wendy, got the heat, she used the pseudonym Robert Morris III to refer to her first husband and describe him as a sales person. William and her first husband got a divorce. She is currently married to Kevin hunter who is also her manager. They have a teenage son also named Kevin.]’’ Wendy basically married in her 20’s if am not mistaken which to me is kind of a contradictory statement if am to relate it with the usual saying “most people don’t practice what they preach” but here in this case I won’t. I see her statement as a geographical one, a statement said based on location. what do I mean by that. It is easier for one to marry at any age over there in the white’s man land. A woman could marry her senior or junior so far he is of the legal age of marriage but comparing that to Africa and from a Nigerian perspective a woman who has to wait till her 30’s is playing the wrong game. I just have two points to make and I’m done. A lady who put her career first in her 20’s is definitely going to go far with hard work and determination, and that also has its own disadvantage. Because in most cases, she would be wealthy than guys her age and that African mentality would come to play which is “a man should be the bread winner of the family”. And at age 20’s most guys are still hustling, trying to make ends meet. Is Linda Ikeji married? No. The Nigerian factor of guys marrying their seniors comes to play again because at age 30 she would definitely be older so she needs to look for a spouse who is in the range of 35 to 40 and guess what at that age most men would have being hooked up already. So the bottom line remains a woman should marry at the right time when love strikes, be it in her 20’s or in her 30’s
