The women, identified as Adeze and Amaka, shared their emotional request in a video that has since gone viral across multiple platforms, drawing sympathy, criticism, and debate among Nigerians. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In the clip, the sisters introduced themselves and disclosed their ages — 39 and 35 — explaining that they had made several spiritual efforts over the years in hopes of getting married but had not been successful.
They stated that they were no longer worried about public opinion or possible embarrassment, adding that their decision to speak openly was driven by frustration and exhaustion after what they described as prolonged waiting.
According to them, the move was not made lightly but became necessary after repeated prayers, fasting, and personal efforts failed to produce the desired outcome.
The video has generated mixed reactions from Nigerians online. While some users expressed empathy and encouraged them, others questioned the approach, offering different opinions about relationships, timing, and societal expectations surrounding marriage.

The sisters’ public appeal has continued to trend, highlighting broader conversations about marriage expectations, societal norms, and the emotional toll of delayed relationships in contemporary Nigerian society.
“Please Nigerians, if you have any brother searching for a wife, we are available,tribe or religion doesn’t matter. We have prayed, fasted, and done all the spiritual efforts. We are 39 and 35 years old.”
