The comment regarding marriage and financial success reflects a troubling blend of ageism, tribalism, and harmful stereotypes. The statement that one should marry by age 22 and have children for the sake of financial gain oversimplifies the complexities of life decisions and relationships. It perpetuates the idea that marriage is merely a means to an end—financial stability—rather than a partnership built on love, respect, and shared goals.
The subsequent tribalist comment, “The man is a Yoruba man, That’s what most of them do, finish secondary say and do yahoo then boom. marriage,” unfairly generalizes the behaviors of an entire ethnic group. Such comments reinforce negative stereotypes about Yoruba men, suggesting that they prioritize quick wealth over meaningful relationships. This not only fosters division but also detracts from the real conversations about marriage, responsibility, and financial stability that should involve understanding and respect for different cultural perspectives.
