41-year-old Nigerian Single Lady Regrets Wanting Only Rich Admirers in Her 20s

• Ada, in an interview with content creator Lucky Udu, shared her personal journey through relationships and how her perspective on marriage has evolved over time.

• Ada prioritized financial stability in her dating life, rejecting a suitor in her 20s due to his lack of financial security.

A 41-year-old Nigerian woman, Ada Ozor, has candidly discussed her difficulties in finding a husband, revealing that her previous choices have contributed to her current state of being single and dissatisfied.

In a recent conversation with content creator Lucky Udu, Ada recounted her experiences in relationships and how her perspective on marriage has changed over time.

Looking back on her younger years, Ada acknowledged that her primary focus was on financial security when evaluating potential partners. She disclosed that she declined a marriage proposal from a suitor in her 20s due to his status as an apprentice and his lack of financial stability.

“In my 20s, I wanted a man that had money, I am sorry to say this. I just have to be honest about it. I needed someone who could take care of me, provide my needs, and support my family,” she said.

Ada noted that the apprentice she was involved with at the time had proposed marriage, promising that he would achieve financial stability in the future. Nevertheless, she chose to reject his proposal, preferring to wait for a more affluent partner.

“My mum always told me that marriage is not a relationship—you have to be ready before going into it. So, I decided to wait and understand marriage before committing,” she explained.

Life as an unmarried woman in her thirties.

As Ada neared her thirties, she experienced a significant change in her perspective and felt prepared to establish a stable life. Nevertheless, she encountered increasing challenges in finding a committed partner.

“When I got to my 30s, I thought, ‘Ha, I need to settle down now.’ But then I started struggling. There was no suitor. Every man that approached me would say he wanted to marry me, but after some time, they would disappear or disappoint me,” she lamented.

She reflected on her longest relationship during that time, which spanned three years with a man residing in Qatar. Regrettably, despite their shared experiences, the relationship did not culminate in marriage.

Turning to Social Media for Help

At the age of 41, Ada has turned to social media to share her narrative in the hope of discovering a life partner.

As she pursues her quest for love, Ada’s experiences have ignited discussions regarding the significance of timing, personal priorities, and the complexities of relationships in contemporary society.
