A recent comment on a post praising Ayra Starr’s mother stated, “In Nigeria, once you are 30, you are already old to them.” While this reflects some opinions in society, it is wrong to generalize that all Nigerians hold such views. Nigeria is a diverse nation with people of varying perspectives, and many celebrate aging as a sign of wisdom, experience, and grace.
Assuming all Nigerians subscribe to a youth-obsessed mentality dismisses those who value maturity and personal growth. Reducing an entire nation’s mindset to such stereotypes limits the broader conversation around beauty and age, which should focus on individual self-worth rather than societal pressure. It is essential to recognize the diversity of thought and attitudes within Nigeria.
