In a cautionary statement that may raise eyebrows in the world of matrimony, Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi, a prominent university scholar and social media influencer, has advised prospective couples to delay their wedding plans in light of the country’s current economic instability.
The respected academic stated that the ongoing hardships in Nigeria make the prospect of starting a family a challenging and potentially ill-advised decision. He emphasized that the financial burden of marriage, coupled with the general cost of living, could be too much for young couples to handle.
Dr. Lafiagi’s timely and thought-provoking post, “If you never marry, wait small,” has sparked a wave of reactions and comments on his Facebook page, with many members of the community concurring with his cautionary stance.
As the debate surrounding the feasibility of marriage in these challenging economic conditions continues to rage, one Facebook user, Aboki, has offered a dissenting opinion, positing that the economic situation in Nigeria is unlikely to improve substantially in the foreseeable future.
Indeed, Dr. Sanusi Lafiagi’s reputation as an advocate for polygamous marriages in accordance with Islamic teachings has added an intriguing dimension to his post, making his call for singles to delay their nuptials even more striking.
The economic realities of the country seem to have overcome even the staunch supporter of marriage, and his recommendation for prospective couples to hold off on their union speaks volumes about the severity of the situation.
His post has sparked a lively debate among his followers, with many commenters praising his honest appraisal of the situation, while others express concern about the potential long-term implications of delaying marriage.
