Legendary Nigerian singer, Ebenezer Obey, has frowned at the habit of old men marrying younger ladies who are just ‘starting life’.

In an interview with The Nation, the 78-year-old multiple award-winning singer said it is only a foolish old man that will get married to a young lady who hasn’t yet experienced anything in life..

The music legend was asked why he hasn’t married a young lady since his beloved wife passed on and he responded :

”Marry a young lady? It’s a foolish old man that will say he wants to marry a young lady. The young lady has just started her life and definitely is virile and strong. Someone like me should be thinking of a woman who is 60 or above. And when I do it soon, everyone will know.”

He says for him, whenever he is ready to settle down again, it would be for companionship and he would be looking at a woman in her 60s and not a young lady.
