The scandal of a certain young man by the name Wazir Chacha who was accused of seducing female Members of Parliament and conning them is still fresh in our minds.
Additionally, a Ugandan college boy was jailed for seducing a female legislator in the neighbouring country.
Why are young men looking for older women?
1.Poverty
It is a fact African countries we are struggling with high rates of unemployment.
Many of our young people are jobless and as a result, they are very idle.
Lack of finances drives many of them to look for unscrupulous means to gain a livelihood hence making them go for older women who are believed to have more money.
2. Young women are demanding
Listening to a group of young men argue about the sentencing of the Ugandan boy who had seduced a Member of Parliament, most of them said that currently the plight of "slay queens" who are demanding too much from them such as palatial treatment, money and other valuables that themselves do not have, makes it possible for them to look elsewhere.
3.Availability of social media
Nowadays you can get the attention of any person you had ever dreamt to meet.
This is possible since most people are on social media.
If you cannot get her on Facebook, probably you will get her email address if not you will get her on Instagram.
This has made people interact since, on their public profiles, they share their personal contacts hence it is easy to send them direct messages.
4.Youthful curiosity
Young people are just curious to try new things, they are ever on the lookout.
