“My 70-Year-Old Father Is Getting Married to His 35-Year-Old Side Chick” — Nigerian Lady Reveals Family Drama
A Nigerian woman has expressed deep disappointment after discovering on Facebook that her 70-year-old father is reportedly preparing to marry a 35-year-old woman, whom she described as his side chick.
According to the lady, what made the situation even more painful was that neither she nor her mother was informed about the development before she came across the announcement on social media.
Recounting her experience, the woman said she was shocked to learn about her father’s alleged marriage plans online, especially because her mother remains legally married to him.
“My 70-year-old father is getting married to his 35-year-old side chick.
“I only discovered it on Facebook. He didn’t even inform me or my mum, who is still his wife,“ she said.
The revelation has reportedly left the woman grappling with a mixture of shock, anger and disappointment, particularly over the manner in which she discovered the development.
For her, the issue appears to go beyond her father’s decision to take another wife, as she was also troubled by the fact that her mother, who she said is still his wife, was allegedly not informed about the planned marriage.
The significant age difference between the 70-year-old man and his reported 35-year-old partner has also drawn attention, with the situation sparking conversations about relationships, marriage, family responsibilities and the impact of major marital decisions on adult children.
The lady’s account has generated reactions from social media users, with many focusing on the emotional implications of discovering such a major family development through Facebook rather than directly from a parent.
Others have questioned the circumstances surrounding the existing marriage and whether the father’s reported plans amount to a new marriage, a traditional arrangement or another form of relationship.
While the woman’s account reflects her personal disappointment and perspective, details about the father’s existing marital status, the reported wedding and the identity of the 35-year-old woman remain unclear.
