We all know once we hit the mid-20s, it’s time to prepare for the “When will you marry?” question. Besides the regular “I’m not ready,” have you thought about replying with these things?

Your babe isn’t ready

Finding someone to marry you isn’t the problem. It’s just that they might already be in a relationship with someone else — like the person asking you the Jamb question. 

You’re working on it

Telling people you’re working on it is a smart way to make them drop the topic. Because why is marriage a race? You’re not in a rush; nobody should rush you.

You’re waiting for God’s time

Say you’re still praying, and when God says yes, you’ll walk down the aisle. People love it when you involve God in everything.

There’s nothing in the streets

This is your honest truth. You’re the one who’s been in the streets for a long minute, so you know what’s out there. But no cause for alarm; news will disburse once you find your soulmate. 

You’re busy finding 30 billion

Let your questionnaires know that marriage is sweet, but when there’s money, it’s sweeter. You need to have $30 billion in the bank first.

Tell them to find you a partner

If they’re so concerned about your marriage life, they should stop talking and find a babe for you.

It’s not your thing

People don’t even care to know if you want to be married or not. What if staying unmarried is your life goal? People should start considering that too. Do they need to be told first?
