The idea of women marrying younger men is becoming popular in our days, but its acceptability has been strongly challenged. It is not really a big deal in the western world, but it is a big deal in some places in Africa. It still remains a strange and unacceptable idea in Africa and everyone seem to envisage nothing more than problems in such union. What is actually wrong with such a union? Absolutely nothing! And that is the case here after a post revealed that 2019 Big Brother Naija housemate, Mike Edwards is younger than his wife.
How did this information come to light? Well, his wife, Perri Shakes-Drayton, had dropped a post about visiting her grandmother at Grenada, saying it took her 30 years to finally visit.
The post had caught the eye of a fan, with the handle, esthersky_77 asked her if she is older then her husband, Mike, since he claims to be 28 years old. She had asked, “It took you 30 years to visit then how old are you ?? But your husband is claiming 28 years. I don’t understand iyaaawoo mike bbn, pls explain to us! Does it mean your husband or you are older than your husband cos he is saying he is 28 years?” To which another fan replied in the affirmative.
If it took her 30 years to go visit her grandmother, then it simply means Perri is older than her husband. There is absolutely wrong with that as long as they love each other.
