Its so bad that we Nigerians don't argue or discuss issues intellectually as it is, we only go ahead to say what we think, irrespective of the years we spent in school, we still nurture our traditional belief when it seems not to favour our desires. Lets face the truth, marriage in the past, was less burden to men, because the women were more than loyal, submissive, happy with little things, and hence worked towards ensuring their husbands long life, but nowadays, most ladies prefer their husband dead than alive, if you like agree, if you like don't, but I know what I am talking about & every reasonable adult reading this too knows the truth. Only few marriages today are not burden to the man, but most are, how? Firstly, let me acknowledge what a fellow wrote up there; he really made some great points when he talked about financial stress & emotional trauma men face today when married. It is no secret that in Nigeria, ladies face more stress when single, & theirs reduces the moment they get married, & then, men encounter less stress when single & more as soon as they get married. It is not just a research but a fact. The man in Nigeria, the moment he marries, start to think about taking care of himself & his wife, & as soon as kids arrive, the trouble quadruples. This is irrespective of whether he is rich or poor. he starts to think of his wife's family problems, while his wife is busy fighting her husband's family becos she doesn't want to see them, they are worst enemies, & the man is worried & busy thinking of how to bring peace between his family & his wife, he is busy thinking on why his wife hates his mother, & how his mother will be feeling that he had abandoned her for a woman he barely knew for some few years or months, & all these keep downing on the man and making the man's heart beat unsteady even without his knowledge. when the man goes out with his friends, he is busy thinking what his wife will do or her reaction, cos he wants peace, & the woman is somewhere enjoying a home or foreign movie & laughing with the kids while this man is under pressure like: He is thinking of how to keep afloat financially, how to maintain his financial standard & ensure his kids gets the best education & all that life can offer. He is battling with his immediate family, siblings & relatives for marrying a woman who now wants to be a barrier & a source of separation in the one-time happy united family. He is busy convincing them that he is not in support of his wife's bad & strange attitudes towards them & people in general, and the woman is somewhere gisting with her friends & enjoying herself, while the man is at war emotionally. The man constantly receives call from relatives, community, village, street, church, etc for financial assistance & support, no sane society or let me say real Nigerian society or community calls a woman to come & fix the market, to help their children, help the village widows, to do this & that...and all these responsibilities come once a man is married & probably has the money, of which most does. Generally in Nigeria, men face more stress the moment the get married than when they are single & this is even evident today in the number of young widowed ladies we have today in cities, just try & be more observant from today, you will be surprised to see ladies of 30, 35, 36, 40, 45 widowed, what happened to their husbands? Dead of course, at least a brother of mine was a victim this year...a successful guy just passed away amidst marital stress in which a girl he courted for years & finally married refused to give him peace of mind in the marriage as soon as she gave birth to three kids- honestly, when u look at it sometimes, marriage of today doesn't necessarily worth it! But pls this shouldn't discourage you guys from marrying, peace! 14 Likes |

...if only women of today can learn to be more peaceful (love your in-laws, especially your mother-in-law, becos u will soon be a mother-in-law too so why trouble your mother-in-law who gave birth to the man you married?), less materialistic, shun greed & comparison, be humble like our mothers & aunts, show more love, respect & concern for their husbands starting from courtship & beyond, then the world will witness peace, & women will be celebrated & worshiped by men! But if this present trend of ladies we have today continues, the world will be AT WAR, and probably marriage will become a thing of the past & more unplanned babies & bastards will be churned out world over! 1 Like |

@ OP & Topic, Trust me, it is one thing ( a good thing at that ) to live longer. Then, it is another to live longer but miserably !!! There were a lot of holes in the purported 'abe-ile' research, the most visible of which is failing to separate the incidence of Cardiovascular disorders in those who are happily-married from those who are not. Mind you, how would you justify using only Cardiovascular disorder incidence as the index for predicting/determining longevity in humans. Have you seen 2 grown couple who are in love before? And on the other hand, have you seen a single ( & lonely ) elderly being. What is the person going to say he lived his or her life for. Don't get me started. If you see a doting & happy couple, you will know this claim is pure crap. I remember trying to compare how longer the second of a good couple lives after the demise of the 1st partner ( 'good' being defined here as a function of the difference in age of the couple, number of children, the success of the children, any history of separation etc), I discovered that the 2nd partner usually dies, max, within 1- 2 years. An appropriate example that comes to my memory here is the couple, of one of the greatest Nigerian Literary giant that ever lived, Late Prof & Mrs J F Odunjo ( the author of ' Alawiye ' series ). The 2nd partner died within 2 days of the death of the 1st. This can tell you the quality of life lived together. I think I'm talking too much. If you've seen someone really cares for you, and you too, you have human blood running through your veins and have warm heart enough to recept the love gestures to radiate more love, this piece of shitload called research will fly out from where it entered. Love ( not all these silly " what is he or she worth/what's in it for me/we-see,we-chop" kind of love ) is all. It's the essence of life. 2 Likes |

Rubbish! A report probably done by a group of people who do not believe in marriage. Irrespective of the negative impressions people give about marriage I and a lot of people still believe in that union. When your time comes, you would go whether you are single or married. Shikenan |

Yield: Correlation does not equal causation.Let me just address this point you raised. I totally agree that correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation; this is the reason why before this research (and every other statistical research for that matter) was published, it was tested using other statistical tools besides basic correlation analysis. Correlation analysis is the first basic test used to pre-determine causation, it may not imply direct causation, but it is a useful tool widely used within the scientific community to narrow down possible causative factors. 1 Like |

I wonder how come ALL the ladies who have spoken on this thread are against this research! There has to be a paradigm shift from a culture that subtly stipulates that a man/woman is 'incomplete' unless he/she is in a marriage. Marriage has since outlived its usefulness. |

Orikinla: I like this post. It is the actual truth of the whole matter. I ran out of relationship with gurls because of my experience with just one. NO REST 24/7. Complaints all over. If its not delay in calling her, its for failure to say, 'I Love u' and all sorts of rubbish. Mchew! I will marry but under stringent certain CONTRACTUAL conditions. e.g she will be on probation for the 1st 2yrs. After observing her behaviours, then I will Renew it with her for 3yrs. If she consistently behave herself well to my satisfaction, then we renew it for another 5yrs. Should she give me the slightest headache, she will find her way. |

AUGUST 12, 2012 HOKENDAUQUA, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say an eastern Pennsylvania woman stabbed her fiance to death during an argument on their wedding day. Na Cola Darcel Franklin is charged with criminal homicide in the death of 36-year-old Billy Rafeal Brewster in their Whitehall Township apartment. Police say they found Brewster bleeding shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday. District Attorney Jim Martin says he was pronounced dead at a hospital. The (Allentown) Morning Call reports that at her video arraignment Saturday, the 31-year-old Franklin wept and choked out, "I did not kill him on purpose." Neighbor Steve Engel says the pastor who was supposed to perform the ceremony came to the apartment building after being unable to reach the couple, and a number of people who were apparently going to the wedding also showed up throughout the day. http://news.yahoo.com/pa-woman-accused-killing-fiance-wedding-day-175631244.html |
