"Statistics show that only 3% of single women of marriageable age in Nigeria are undisturbed by their lack of a spouse! The other 97% would do just about anything to become Mrs. Somebody''.

As we read on, we are going to see some rather unorthodox things Nigerian women will do in their quest to bag a husband! Some are bizarre, some are skanky and some are downright sad but if you are willing to try anything and getting a husband is the only activity left on your bucket list, you might want to try a few! (Men beware).

In no particular order:

1)Snatching a friend or relation's man.
All is fair in love and war! Rumor has it that women have resorted to locking their phones, hiding their men and coding their gist from so-called friends because it's a jungle out there.

2)Re-inventing themselves.
Pretence is the order of the day. No man wants to tame the shrew or teach the inexperienced or make an honest woman out of a dishonest one so once marriage is desired, women package themselves in pseudo, ready-made, easy-to-use, highly desirable packages. After marriage, what you see is what you get!

3)Trapping with pregnancy.
This used to be the old school method of getting a man to propose. From skipping the pill to seducing the man or getting him drunk when she was ovulating, a woman usually knew she had the man where she wanted him once she missed her period even if there was no commitment. Now the guys are saying YES to baby mamas and YES to child support. Are the girls deterred? NO! The girls have stepped up their game by involving the parents and you know parents don't like scandals

4)Praying & Fasting.
This would presumably be an honorable means of obtaining a husband but sometimes the prayers are offered up to deities other than God & other times it becomes a song permanently.
Taking his photograph to Cele church for a prophetess to pray over or a powerful Alfa. Heard it works like charm.
Taking his spérm, hair or personal effects to Babalawo. Guys, disposing of your condoms yourself is not such a bad idea.

5)Outright Jazz!
My friend recently gisted me about how a tied up, live pigeon had been discovered in a friend's sister-in-law's box. The woman confessed to using jazz and said she hadn't been sure if the guy would actually propose so she took the necessary precautions.

6)Putting love potion in his food!
This is classic and timeless but shouldn't it be called a compelling potion? Because in this case, love na by force!

7)Proposing to a guy!
Yes it does happen (Who wears the engagement ring?) Toasting a man's family so they make the decision for him! A friend complained that a girl he detested had over the months gotten close to his family. Lavishing on them, cooking for them and basically being their go-to girl and now his mum had put her foot down that he had to break up with his girlfriend and marry little-miss-went-home-to-mama depending on how much power the family wields, their word may be final.

Asking daddy to get them a husband!
If daddy's a big shot, arranging a husband for you is usually as easy as pie and some men would sell their souls for a large chunk of daddy's money so both parties are happy.

9)Being the man's maga!
Some women believe that when you finally get a man to be interested in you, spoiling him and overlooking his every fault would get you into a white gown faster than an okada. Some men don't mind a woman who houses them, clothes them, feeds them, gives them pocket money, never gets upset with them even when they misbehave and cleans up after them with little or no contribution from them living the dream

10)Giving him unlimited freedom.
Tell me I am number one baby; tell me I am the future mother of your kids and not Amina, Bisi or Ngozi. Women used to want to be the one AND ONLY in their man's life, now being the number one is good enough.

11)Polishing up a low class, barely educated brother in exchange for a ring!
The deal is simple, you send your cleaner, gateman or driver to night school, you give him language lessons, you take him to buy some new clothes and deodorant and teach him to call you honey instead of madam and in exchange, he gets to marry you, share an expensive bedroom and never worry about his bills ever again!

12)Revamping you.
Change your wardrobe, lose 20kg, buy a truckload of Brazilian hair, study the karma-sutra, do an angioplasty and change the age on your birth-certificate to read 22. Botox, plastic surgery, a compulsory gym membership and a body magic also indicated!

13)Becoming a worker in church!
Rumour has it that men go to church to marry, the same rumour also reveals that Greeters Ushers and Lead Soloists have the best exposure. Praise the Lord!

14)Moving to a new town or part of town
This always peaks the men's interest and at the same time you get to run away from your past and the old maid labels!

15)Going for deliverance
Going for deliverance from a spirit husband and sowing a big marriage seed in church! Giving your possessions to the poor, giving a sacrificial offering or just giving one thing to God that would make you weep.

16)Abandoning hopes, dreams and ambitions!
I've heard people say that women looking for a prince charming live unrealistic dreams, virgins are old-school, overly educated women are proud, rich women are not submissive, ambitious women are conceited, women with demanding jobs won't have time for their families, women who want a faithful man are deluded and women who don't get pregnant before wedlock have something wrong with their plumbing! So forsake the masters, don't even dream of a PhD, quit your job, give away all your money and surely a husband will come.

17)Outright Desperation
And if all the above fails, they marry a married man!
He could be your friend's husband, your sister's husband, your cousin's husband, your colleague's husband, even your mother's husband if possible.

Can you blame these women? The average guy has commitment phobia or is out to play till he is all spent before he settles down or is waiting to make his first 5 million before saying I do. Even a man with no future ambition or class, much less finances still knows he could have his pick of the best women out there, once he announces he is looking to settle!

''The last census showed a female-dominated demographic with more women per eligible bachelor.
Family and society constantly put the woman in hot water making her personal successes irrelevant till she bags a man''.

You forgot to add this

then,why commenting?

I'd like to hear which of our singles here are in the 3% who don't care. Especially with all the "marriage is not for life", "marriage is not for everybody", marriage is not do or die" forming we hear.

Oya ladies, please identify whether you "care" or "care not" as you comment !

I am a guy, is it a must that i have to marry and start bringing forth little ones... Well dia are orphanages around jare, na adoption sure pass....
Marriage no dey my dictionary at all, n i knw i av a female counterpart out there too.

All these would stop the day the Nigerian society stops looking down on single ladies.

On a serious note, it is not a must to marry, why cant these single ladies try to be successful and Live a beautiful life?
Our society is to be blame too.

Ehe... the men are having a field day...na only men dey comment for this one.

parismarc: All these would stop the day the Nigerian society stops looking down on single ladies.

If a society has a marriage culture that looks down on single ladies, it will equally look down on single men. Ladies don;t typically marry each other do they?

Ergo, men should be just as desperate, why is that no tthe case?


TV

parismarc: come on, the Nigerian society doesn't look down on un married men, we all know that.

You honestly believe that?
You didn't just claim that it's not as bad, but that its'non-existent? Really? What did I go through then? From family, friends, younger, older. The relegation , the lack of respect, the plain ridicule - by mostly women?

What is your own experience.

Nigerian society also look down on eligible single men, why don't such men get so desperate like single ladies would?

We cant just put it on our society alone... Its the human gene... Forget about what we see in hollywood movies o... Even the oyinbo parent wants their children to get married...

On its own, it is a a yardstick for success. It is used to measure success and it is success for him own class.

donpeey22: Nigerian society also look down on eligible single men, why don't such men get so desperate like single ladies would?

They claim they are still waiting to hit it before getting married... Waiting to get the right apartment for her, right car waiting for her and right plan for the upcoming kids... This might be true but when it is becoming too late, it is best to get married so as to be able to achieve them faster as they say.. two heads are better than one.

The truth is that men get more pressure from the society about getting married than women. I will agree if somebody says that Biology puts more marriage pressure on women than men, but saying society? That's not true!

Then let single ladies start making their own excuses instead of blaming an innocent Nigerian society. It annoys me when I
hear some ladies say that the Nigerian society is
"forcing" them into marriage, when the truth is that women of all races since time immemorial, crave men as if they can never exist without being married to a man.

Exactly! They are the ones chided as being "irresponsible" if they don't
And exactly again - men simply have a different - and all told a more favourable - window of opportunity.

If anything, they are pressured to accomodate the female window into theirs.
