i guess thats because girlfriends are abound but wife material are even more scarce.

Birds of same feathers flock together.... Some bfs n gfs refuse to grow up to become husbands n wives.

Am coming...

Because most girls want to chop money,shine their congo and use maga before settling down with a geriatic 70 something year old politician

you aren't a wife material that's why you haven't seen any...

The reason is because of poverty... Many would like to settle down but how many of you girls would like to settle down with someone who isn't well off?

Girls has taken money as the first thing to see in a man before they could date him or even getting into marriage. So, many men are busy getting that money. But you girls should just start praying before the men would totally forget that there's anything like marriage in this life.

If it happens....

husbands aren't scarce, money is.

gree-die:
husbands aren't scarce, money is.

by your definition, i guess a husband is defined as a man of adult age having money?!

no!! but husbands don't ve enuf money to fund der weddings and cater for their new family so dey put it off for a whyl longer....

^^^^ your above statement is the reason why people like the OP are writing such statement. it takes absolutely nothing to be married, just a few signatures, et voila! what about a quiet wedding? what about a low key wedding that costs nothing? what about love (not just the oo la la of wedding fanfare)? what about being with someone and wanting to be their partner so bad that you are willing to wait for that family until you guys can BUILD a proper unit/home together? what about starting a family when you are both properly ready?

marriage can be the cheapest union possible for the right minded person (shiiit, you even can save MORE as a couple than alone), and the beginning of the end to the deluded ones who sees it as a mean to show the world that they are "supposedly" happy.

The husbands were once BFs..

The main reason is the hard economy/money.. I for one won't marry while in poverty.. I rather not marry at all than to marry and auction off my children due to the fact I can't cater for them

Marriage SHOULD be the cheapest union possible, but it's so sad that it's not. I take it that you don't stay in nigeria. In nigeria, thousands(millions for the super rich folks) are wasted in a wedding ceremonies. From the music bands, to the reception centers to the bridal prices, to the refreshment. The list is endless. Getting married is not even the biggest issue, the hardest is catering for those children. I don't support the idea of bringing children into this world had giving them out as 'maids' due to lack of money, so MBJ, she's right. Just take a trip to a nigerian wedding ceremony and see the amount of money one needs to infuse, if he wants to have a succesful TRADITIONAL AND WHITE wedding. Even a BURIAL ceremony is costly as hell much less a wedding. The shít is scary for real

U just spoke my mind and our girls seriously need to change their money for sex mindset. thanks

just because gazillions of Nigerians are blindly doing the same thing, doesnt make it RIGHT. i repeat: YOU CAN MARRY SOMEONE AND BE HAPPY WITHOUT THE NEED OF A FANCY WEDDING.
as for catering for the children, again, you should ONLY have children when you are physically/emotionally and financially ready to have any. but that shouldnt stop two people from getting married and WAITING for the right time to have these bambinos.

the fact that you even call these weddings successful SIMPLY because people have thrown money into it, shows that you too you are part of the problem, and certainly dont understand what i am trying to say.

You're getting me wrong, I never said it's right. I'm just telling you what's in vogue when it comes to nigerian way of wedding. It's like a tradition, it won't be easy to do away with.

I called it a successful wedding because it's naija's way of attributing success to a wedding. You spend a lot for people invited, for the music bands, refreshments etc. I grew up and met that way of life, I never made it so. Even in burial ceremonies, we waste money, instead of simply burying a dead man. You talk as if you will just come down from your country and miraculously change people's way of life in nigeria. It doesn't work that bruv. It takes time, education and enlightenment, so stop making it look like I'm the cause when I'm not even married yet and try to understand what I'm talking about cos obviously you don't. Western way of life is different from that of africans sometimes/most times.. People way of marrying differs from one country to another, from one ethnic group to another
