Kanayo Under Attack After Sharing Why Ladies Are Unmarried in Their 30s: "I'm 33 Dis isn't my Story"

• Nigerian filmmaker and veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has come under fire over a recent interview he had
• During the interview, the actor talked about the issues surrounding ladies being unmarried at the age of 30 and above
• His submission failed to sit well with social media users, who launched an attack on the actor for passing judgment and generalising about ladies

Kanayo O. Kanayo, a Nigerian veteran movie star, has been trending following an interview he recently granted.

While speaking on the SIL show, the actor claimed that many women are unmarried at 30 and above because they used to refuse the advances of younger men.

According to him, a woman in her 20s gets advances from rich married men who lavish money and material wealth on her.

He stated that such a man might have bought her a car or house. For this reason, she refuses advances from younger men in her age range because they are not as rich and below her level.

Kanayo noted that if such a lady goes on like this, by the time she's in her 30s, she becomes less attractive to men her age and becomes a prayer point, and at 33, is declared a 'state of emergency'.

His analogy irked many social media users who rebuked him for generalising about women.
