Seems I touched a nerve...

You never did but I only feel it doesn't do you any good when you sit down to discuss people's life because each individual has his(her) life to live and so leave them to their case.

The discussion/arguments on this thread is quite significant even though am not comfortable with the fact that its as if is all about the ladies' mess-up leaving all the guys as though they were saints!

For many in our generation, marriage is tragically reduced as a socio-cultural exigency; thus if as a lady you are not married before 28 you are made to believe that you are at the brink of your doom(for guys, 35 i think).
The mentality is like if you are not married you could never be truly happy or your chances of finding fulfillment is finally finished that's as plain ridiculous as men/women who deliberately opt in to single parenthood in another to circumvent the commitment of the marital institution!

Happiness, is what makes me desire,what makes me dream,what drives me on to realize my desires and dreams for meaning, for truth, for beauty, for a love that never fades. For those who will marry with the right reasons(have we ever wondered what the right reasons could be?) marriage hence promises and offers those entering into her institution the possibility of realizing their heart's desire, especially those of the primordial nature.

A Marriage is not something you actually make happen, when it happens, how it happens its not in the hand of anybody per se....but we have been gratuitously endowed with freedom by our Creator, thus a man can "buy" a wife into the big house he just bought in Lekki phase one, just as the woman could manipulate a man(she discovers works in Chevron) until he walks her to the altar. Small wonder divorce rates are on an astronomical heights in Nigeria in recent years but and it is not only from couples living in Lekki, couples living in the Igandos of our country are also filing for divorce....so the longevity of marriage its not by wealth or the lack of it:its by the right motives(we deal with that on another thread).


There is definitely time for everything our role is just to be ready, to be prepared more and more, by the day, even by the second! Nothing attracts others than an unpretentious disposition of happiness; a lady(or man) with this quality would never pass her prime. Marriage is for "adults" with youthful zest!

In my own opinion is (female population is graeter than male ) .in nigeria today women are more populated than men. Take for example in the schools ,campus,you found out that females is on the increasing number than males even in some families. With this sitaution if it continues ,in the longrun the rate of unmarried women wil increase naturally becouse of the high number of female babies born everyday in nigeria.with this situation how do we Expect al the women to get married,?logically is imposible. It has noting to do with a lady get a good job ,having fat some of money in the account ,believe me it doesn't change anything. If you are not maried ,you are not maried . Male gender is just on the low side. That's why our forfathers were marrying 3 to 4 wifes,but in this modern age a man cannot do that anymore, The government need to balance and see to this gender problem .may God help the unmarried women.

Lol @ comments.
God help Nigerian women.
