Aisha Yesufu Advises Single Ladies To Propose To Men

A Nigerian socio-political activist and business woman, Aisha Yesufu, had urged single ladies in the country to be bold and propose to the men they love instead of waiting for the men to propose to them while they grow older. She described marriage as a serious business.

During an interview with BBC Pidgin, she said: “Go there and ‘toast’ him yourself. A woman can propose to a man and tell him I want to marry you. Go there and ask him yourself. People sit down clocking 30, 40, and going over 50 while waiting for a man to come and ask them out. How? Even marriage is a serious business so you shouldn’t be waiting for ‘anyone that calls me’”.

Further more, Aisha said: “I like to be in charge of everything I am involved in. I have never been in any relationship that I didn’t initiate myself. I don’t do relationships where the guy comes and says I like you and all of that.”
