Former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has shared how her views on marriage have changed as she approaches 30, admitting that age has given her a new perspective.
In a video, the reality TV star reflected on how she once viewed unmarried women in their early 30s, saying she now understands that remaining single at that age does not necessarily mean something is wrong.
Speaking candidly, Phyna said turning 29 made her realize how quickly time passes.
She said:
> “I’m just thinking out loud. I remember when I was 22, 23 then, you know, 29 was so far away, but now this is 29 and everything is just dawning on me.”
Recalling her younger years, she admitted that she used to question why some of her aunts were still unmarried.
> “I remember that time all those my aunties that were like in their early 30s that they are not married. I’d be like, ‘Auntie, you no go marry? Auntie, you no marry?’ Like then it was looking like the auntie get problem.”
However, she said her outlook has completely changed now that she is nearing the same stage of life.
> “Guys. Guys. We sef don dey touch am o. Auntie no get problem. I swear. Our aunties, they no get problem. No single problem.”
Her remarks have resonated with many social media users, with some agreeing that societal expectations often place unnecessary pressure on people, especially women, to marry by a certain age.
