If you plan on a monogamous marriage, then it will be disastrous to marry a lady who is older than you – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, a former Presidential aide, has expressed the view that it could lead to significant challenges if a man aspiring to maintain a monogamous relationship decides to marry a woman older than himself.

In a post he shared on his social media account, Omokri argued that men typically maintain their sexual desire well into their 80s or even 90s, whereas women tend to experience a decrease in libido as they age.

He suggested that when a woman is older than her male partner and loses her sexual desire, it may lead to infidelity on the part of the man.

He wrote; ‘’If you are a man with a healthy libido, it is risky to marry a woman who is of the same age as you. It is also risky, but less so, to marry a woman who is just a few years younger than you. However, IF you plan on a monogamous marriage, then it will be disastrous to marry a lady who is older than you. If you both agree that you can be polygamous, then it is not a problem. You say you are in love? Listen, love cannot control your libido. You, as a man will retain your libido into your eighties and possibly nineties if God spares your life. But women do not retain theirs that long. I do not think it is fair. But gender libido imbalance is a fact of life. So, if you marry a woman who is your age mate or older than you, and she loses her libido after menopause, but you retain yours, what are you going to do? Start disturbing Unilag girls? That is why there should be a healthy age gap between husband and wife for a viable marriage.”
