Does age really matter?

Hon. Rotimi Makinde & Oyebanke

I read in the news today that popular Yoruba actor and politician, Hon. Rotimi Makinde is planning to marry a 20years old super model, Oyebanke Oyelami. According to the story, Hon. Rotimi Makinde has defended his decision to take Miss Oyebanke, a final year student of political science in Obafemi Awolowo University and the reigning beauty queen of Osun state but the relationship seem to be generating a lot of controversies. 

There's nothing wrong in two people getting married as long as they are both consenting adults but what seem to be causing controversies is the age gap between the couple. Hon. Rotimi Makinde is 40years old. That's double the age of the lady.

My question now is does age really matter? I mean the two are adults who seem to be in love with each other so what's the fuss about? Or do you think money and power  is the major influence here? Would you marry someone that young or that old as the case maybe?  Please leave your 'views' below.

  1. honestly, there is no issue with that so far the fundamental principle "love" is there. for instance, my dad is older than my mum with 10 solid years. not for once has issue of ages comes in form of disagreement, even if there's little conflict the age never surface.

    1. very well said Emmanuel. I don't thunk the age difference should be a problem though I find 20 yrs a bit too much but like you rightly said 'love' is the keyword
