In Nigeria, if you've reached your 30th birthday and you are
still unhitched, the elders will harass you down the aisle, but some Nigerian celebrities
are not melting despite the heat from their ancestors, friends, immediate and mediate
families. Marriage is a sacred part of Nigeria cultural life, but these celebrities
will stay single regardless, some even at early 50's. I can't really tell if
unmarried at 40 is unmarried forever, you can provide me the answer as I list
10 Nigerian celebrities above 40 and yet not married.
