“It is only a foolish old Man that will marry a young Lady” – Ebenezer Obey

Music legend, Ebenezer Obey has expressed his opinion about old men marrying young ladies.

In an interview with The Nation, the singer condemned the act noting that ladies just starting life should be left for their peers.

“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”, he said

Obey added that “someone like me should be thinking of a woman who is 60 or above. And when I do it soon, everyone will know.

“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.”

The legend stressed that he was not looking for a wife that would conceive babies.

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