I won’t sit back and watch my daughter end up with a badly behaved person – Nigerian man expresses support for arranged marriage

A Nigerian pilot, Arinze Odira, has said that he strongly supports arranged marriage and will definitely steer his daughter in the direction of a good and well-raised person. 

“I am definitely a fan of arranged marriages. The kind where two people with similar values are introduced, and if love grows, they take it further. I believe marriages built on shared values last longer,” he wrote on Wednesday.

“I am raising a beautiful daughter, and I will make sure she becomes an amazing human. I won’t sit back and watch her end up with someone badly behaved. If I know good, well-raised people, I will guide her toward that circle. We owe this to our kids especially in a world that’s not short of crazy people.”
