Everything Is Dawning On Me – Phyna Laments As She Nears 30 Without Getting Married

Former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has opened up on how growing older has changed the way she sees marriage, admitting that her opinion is no longer the same as it was in her early twenties.

Naija News reports that the reality TV star shared her thoughts in a recent video posted on her Instagram story as she reflected on her journey toward turning 30.

She said reaching the age of 29 has made her realize that the stage of life she once believed was still far away has arrived much faster than she expected.

Phyna explained that when she was between 22 and 23 years old, she saw 29 as an age that seemed very distant.

Now that she is living through it, she said many things are becoming clearer to her.

The actress also spoke about how she used to look at women in their early 30s who were not married.

At the time, she believed there was something wrong with them and often wondered why they had not settled down.

Looking back, Phyna said she now understands that her earlier thinking was unfair. As she gets closer to the same age, she has come to realize that being unmarried in one’s early 30s does not mean a person has a problem.

According to her, experience and age have changed her mindset. She said many of the women she once judged were simply living their lives, and there was nothing unusual about their marital status.

She said: “I’m just thinking out loud. I remember when I was 22, 23 then, you know, 29 was so far away, but now this is 29 and everything is just dawning on me.

“I remember that time all those my aunties that were like in their early 30s that they are not married. I’d be like, ‘Auntie, you no go marry? Auntie, you no marry?’ Like then it was looking like the auntie get problem.

“Guys. Guys. We sef don dey touch am o. Auntie no get problem. I swear. Our aunties, they did have problem. No single problem.”
