As Africans marriage is very important to us not just for the normal institution it is, but also for the fulfilment of a certain status! In our society, there’s a greater expectation placed on women to be married at a certain age.

As a result, there’s always pressure on especially ladies at a certain age to settle down with a man. But Uncle Ebo Whyte, renowned playwright in Ghana, has lambasted unmarried people who pressure others to marry. He shared his sentiment when he was interviewed by Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSK) on The KSM show. Uncle Ebo posited that:

“I get very irritated and very angry at the people who want to push everybody to get married. Asking someone to be getting ready to marry is the most stupid thing ever to say if you’re not married”, he stated.

According to the seasoned Ghanaian playwright, marriage should be timely. Therefore, nobody has the right to bother someone with the oldest human institution.
