BEVERLY HILLS, August 02, (THEWILL) – Ebenezer Obey, one of Nigeria’s iconic musicians has berated old men who go after young women for marriage, condemning such instances as ladies just starting life should be left for their peers.
The born-again singer and evangelist was responding to a question on The Nation on whether he would marry a young woman following the death of his wife a few years back.
He said: “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 further added that the companionship of a wife is a good thing and not against God’s rule.
He added: “I can marry at any time, not just for the sake of marriage, but for the sake of companionship. What else do I want? I have children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.”

He added: “As long as I still have life, you will hear when the time for marriage comes.”
