Bala Mohammed, a 70-year-old man from Dass Local Government Area in Bauchi State, Nigeria, has captured the internet’s attention after revealing his desire to marry a working-class woman.
Despite his age, Mohammed remains interested in settling down and starting a family.
Speaking in an interview with a local radio station, he explained in Hausa language that he wants a spouse who can provide for their future children, especially in the event of his death or declining health.
Mohammed went viral after sharing over 100 photos of women he had dated over the years, including relationships from 20, 14, and six years ago.
The photos resurfaced when friends shared these memories online, drawing widespread attention.
According to Mohammed, some of the women in the photos saw them and, rather than asking him to delete them, chose to take legal action.
The 70-year-old, who has never married or had children, shared that in his youth he was hesitant about marriage due to concerns about sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
However, he now feels ready to settle down with someone who has a stable job and can help support their potential children.
Mohammed clarified that all the women featured in the photos were his past lovers, but he denied involvement with any who were married, countering recent online speculations.
