“Sometimes all it takes is the wrong time of the month, a tactless comment, another question from someone asking why I am not married yet, to drive me into the pit of self-pity, regret, and introspection.” Excerpt From The Marriage Monitoring Aunties’ Association Ola Awonubi

“Back in those days women were just seen through the prism of their looks, their vital statistics, and their ability to be a homemaker and have children. How things have changed. Not.” Excerpt From The Marriage Monitoring Aunties’ Association Ola Awonubi

There is no investigative agency in the world faster or more ruthless than Nigerian Aunties. If you want a book that is hilarious, chaotic and relatable--Marriage Monitoring Aunties is your next read. #MustRead

Convincing you to read Nigerian books using lines from the book.

The marriage monitoring Aunties’ association needs to be made into a movie. Shaffy Bello should play Folashade.

Single at 50, thriving, and "living her best life"—but the Aunties have other plans. In 'The Marriage Monitoring Aunties’ Association' by Ola Awonubi, Sade Sodipo has it all, but her "help" reaches a whole new level. Ever faced a Marriage Monitoring Association? #BookOfTheWeek

The MMAA The Marriage Monitoring Aunties Association, the title was the first thing to captivate me. The MMAA is a faith-based, romantic, cultural and contemporary women's book I loved every bit of it. I cried, laughed, walked through Sade's struggles and fears.
