okine4real: When i first read what the OP wrote, i thought the OP was referring to me. This samething happened to me. Let me explain. when I wanted to get married last year to a lady now mine wife, she had two elder sisters that where not married. One of the sisters caused serious wahala in the house, that how can her younger sister get married when she is still at home. OP nor be small thing ohh. The sister fought the mother seriously because the mother did not object to her daughter getting married before two of her elder sisters. But as for me the bobo, na me won spend minecmoney and na me one marry not the lady forcing me to get married. So we got married anyway. Now i have a Son whom would be a year old on the 21st of Nov next month. But do you guys know the funniest thing? Now that mine wife's sister whom was causing wahala that her younger sister would not get married before her is now married, she is even pregnant now. The second sister too would be getting married next year from what i was told. But the fact is, the two sister was only able to get married because when they found out that there younger sister is married, they all went and put fire in the anus of there BF. You all know that guys nowadays are scared of getting married except you the lady know how to handle your man.

So mine here OP, sometimes people do not act unless there is a force pushing them. If a younger sister gets married first, then it would enable the elder once re-think if there BF is worth waiting for, or if they should move on.

rubi96: As the 1st daughter of my family, i have always prayed to marry first o. Since i was a child , i've seen the way the elder daughters' whose sisters' married before them being insulted directly and indirectly. It was happened to my mum's elder sister ( my mum married before her ) and i started praying that it should never happen to me. so far so good, it's been working.

Shinelle: In those days (bilble days), I remember in Gen 29: 15-30, Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Rachels elda sis,
Leah......before giving him Racheal as well......, In dis 21st century
tho it doesn't matter... I'm d last born in ma family and were all
gals...I av no intention of marrying yet, buh personally I would want my elda sisters to marry before me. So I'm praying hard for them, while I work on my life (skul n stuff)....

Joy4mi: My elder sis was against me marryin b4 her.but thru God's grace and my parents support,i got married b4 her.she married 3 yrs afta me.

Chartey:
Tpia, u see why i asked you your tribe and where you grew up? We are talking about a cultural issue and you're bringing links to oyinbo people's views. Pls just tell me your tribe(nationality even) so I'll know whether this our little argument is one futile endeavour or not.

tpia@:


i think the link is supposed to show its not just an african thing but can also occur in other cultures.

unless you want a situation where everybody in the family remains unmarried in the name of waiting for each other, your stance is very self defeating.

didicold: There shouldnt even be a question about it, its just wrong, some ppl here are shouting culture, does our culture encourage u to put a good man on ice because someone else isnt married. I love my parents because dey r forward thinking ppl, if i d last born say am ready today, na to go pick aso-ebi, its not dat dey r not anxious dat my elder siblings should marry, dey just believe dat "omo iya ko kan kadara". If u raise ur children well with mutual love between dem, na d elder sisters go even fight for d younger siblings rights. I don'ty know d family values some ppl r propagating here

Chartey:
And you're still evading my questions. Everybody can see that.
