74-Year-Old Kogi Man Marries For The First Time, Find Out Why He Delayed
Apeaking to journalists about why he waited this long before he settled down, Mallam Muhammad Awal said lack of financial resources discouraged him from approaching a woman for marriage.
His words, “I have always been afraid I might fail in my duty of care to a spouse if I married and it is something I fear and don’t want to joke with. I am also afraid of separation from my spouse.
I know if I fail to take care of her, she might either leave me or cheat on me with another man, which I would not like. So, to avoid all of that, I dismissed the idea of marriage altogether. But now, Allah has made this a reality. Many of them looked down on me, mostly because of my financial status. But I thank God it is in the past”.
