A young Nigerian lady has stirred heated debate online after claiming that men, not women, actually have the real biological clock. According to her, men begin to lose their value once they clock 30.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Teniola, the lady referenced a study that allegedly shows men’s biological clock ticks faster than women’s.
She argued that a man’s prime is in his 20s when he is still “fresh and fertile,” adding that once he crosses 30, things begin to go downhill.
In her words, she said:
“As a man, your prime is in your 20s. You’re fresh and fertile in your 20s. Once you cross into your 30s, your biological clock is ticking. You need to start thinking of settling down because nobody wants to marry an old, expired man.
Her statement triggered massive reactions online. Many men disagreed, insisting it is women who face biological pressure.
An X user commented, “Biological clock for men? Na motivational talk be this one.” Another said, “Tell her say 40-year-old men still dey marry fine babes.”
Some, however, supported her view, saying men also lose physical appeal and fertility as they age.
The viral video has reignited a long-standing gender debate about age, marriage, and value, leaving Nigerians divided over who truly has the ticking clock between both genders.
