Marriage is no achievement and besides, it is not even any criterier for making heaven if there is a place like that.
The word marriage doesn't even make any sense to me.
So marry ya marry and stop hyping the nonsense


You mean marriage is not an achievement? In Gen.2:18 God said "it is NOT GOOD that man be alone I will make him a helper perfect for him". If the creator of all things said it's not to be alone, and He made it good by providing man a woman. Is it you a created being that will be saying that marriage is not an achievement?

Marriage in Nigeria is becoming very expensive. And looking at the high unemployment rate and the rate at which available jobs pay very low, how many guys can afford the cost of marriage.

My brother is planning on marrying an imo lady, just to collect list is over 50k. The day we went for introduction, the kinsmen where saying that the drink we brought wasn't enough... Just imagine.

The items on the list cost more than 800k, yes it's true that the list is negotiable, but mere looking at it alone is scary.


I for one, even if I happen to get a queen Elizabeth and Rihanna kind of beauty merged in an imo girl, nothing is taking me close to that state for marriage... Except if I have assurance that there own side aren't too demanding.

All these are what the elders are supposed to clearly scrap.


Two facts:

1. Your brother should not marry into a family with such a mentality or a family that allows members with such a mentality to voice their opinion.

2. Your brother should not marry a girl that allows her family to practice such nonsense.

They can keep their daughter; she can keep her p*ssy (which your brother has probably used); and they can all f**k off!

1. They don't have money to marry.

2. Most women have raised their standards, so somw men are not finding it easy getting the kind of women they want.

3. Too many women have taken the "highway" so wife material aren't in abundance anymore.

4. Some people have become "woke" and uninterested in marriage since they can simply cohabit, or have baby mamas.

5. Finally, some men are genuinely scared. With all the bad marriage stories louder than the good ones.
What standard exactly?,a standard they are not contributing to,I understand your points though, they are validly related to the topic.

There is no need staying in the same house with a person who is out for you whether you are 40 or 70. It is pointless to be in such an arrangement just cos you don't want to be alone. Alot of people are lonely in their marriages take it or leave it. One should pray to marry the right person to avoid all this fear and mutual suspicion.

I was talking to one of my friend that is married and I asked about his wife and he said " I don't know where she went to, everybody dey im lane like this". I was shocked because they stay in the same house and sleep on the same bed but don't care what becomes of the other. In fact I asked the wife the same question when I saw her and she responded likewise.
All these started happening when oga lost his job and madam became the bread winner

I know. I wrote all that because it’s good to learn the pros and cons before venturing.

Men must not be unaware of the risks.

She is just projecting her own fears.

She is frustrated and panicking at the thought of men not wanting to get married, hence she is trying to manipulate by placing her fears of being alone in her 40s as something for men to worry about!

Women should keep raising standards o lol... But really, ladies are at the receiving end. My boss married a 28 y/o at 38. They're doing very fine now. My point is, men can always look down and marry when they're ready. Ladies, your game becomes more difficult as you age. Take this into consideration while "raising standards" too, add some realissm biko, it's for your good.
Women are at the receiving end? Stay there make trousers dey wear you. grin grin Do you see women opening threads upon and down Nl searching for love or seeking advice every now and then like men do here?

Why do you think women support baby mamaism grin ( if that's a word) ? You think they can't close legs and demand marriage first or even avoid pregnancy?

Why do you think women no longer find it worthy to stay in an abusive marriage or manage a marriage?

Do you think all women want to get married?

The problem with most of you men is that you think the world revolves around you, so if things aren't going the way it ought to the problem is with the other person but not you. Keep deceiving yourselves while women are silently enjoying and loving the way things are going now. grin

It has nothing to do with marriages are over rated.

Marriage need some kind of financial responsibility to make it work.

The truth is.

Many of the single guys in Nigeria don't have money to cater for the responsibilities of marriage.

It is either, they don't have job, or they receive low pay, so they can't afford marriages at this moment of their lives.

This trend is very common in developing countries where unemployment is high.

This is the most plausible reason so far.

Women emotional mind games with being alone grin grin

Why are you people so scared of being alone?

You are mostly alone in this life. You will even be buried in that coffin alone so what’s the fuss and anxiety?

Even some people I know in that s*it stake institution called Marriage are alone.

Fear of being alone (which is utter nonsense) shouldn’t even be a criteria for marriage.

If you said having children in a union then that’s a good point.

Thank you!

The only guy smart enough so far to spot her emotional manipulation via projection.

Projecting her complete fear of being alone as something men should worry about, so as to avoid having to appease men by saying "how can we do better, so that men would want to marry us and love marrying us?".

Women have evolved from what they were when God created them to Jezebels. It took them few days to cause man to disobey God.
I'm sure God regretted creating eve after he deceived adam into disobeying God. God cursed women as a result and we are seeing the effect of those curses in their lives today.
Is it not surprising that the last thing God created destabilized his whole plans for MAN? Why does God not have a wife
He clearly doesn't want any distraction

I have realised so many of my friends and colleagues at over 30 years are still single, this doesn't use to be the case.

I am in my mid thirties and still single..

The reason I am not keen on relationship is because I am tired of women..

Why am I tired?

The women I have been meeting aren't marriable.

Why are they not marriable?

Their first sentence rules them out. In summary, they put money first, then apartment 2nd, then car 3rd.

How the man gets it, is none of their business...

I rather remain single and enjoy my money in peace than be in a relationship and be asking myself why I gave my peace away for expenses

You need to change this your thought process..

Marriage wasn't made for man alone..

Marriage is a partnership not some stewpid sole proprietorship...

Men are working hard every day, having nothing but their wits to survive.

A woman works too but she has 1 or more boyfriends that funds their every wim.

So if go by your logic, where are the boyfriends getting the money, to sort women wims, getting it from?

Please believe in concept of marriage because it is ordained by God. In Genesis 2:18 He said it's not good for man to be alone", in read up Gen 2:24. Jesus uphold marriage in Mathew 19:4,5.

In HEB 13:4, it said Marriage is honourable unto all....that God will judge those who desecrate the institution of marriage.

When guys start to know that they are men, when they start to reasoning, why they called "married man responsible man". When they realize that they are respective leaders in that small units called nuclear family, not only leaders but role models.

By then, marriage will be more stable and enjoyable,...for, they will work harder to fend for their family and leave responsible life as role models and above all they will open their eyes wide when choosing life partners, they would not only take consideration of today wen choosing life partners but future as well

These statements are very easy to type online. However, maybe it's my circle but all the old unmarried women I know are not happy about it. They're envious of people with settled families.

Babymamaism is not their first choice no dey cap for here.

I'm not even in a gender war. I love women and I always advocate for establishment of working families (I'm a product of one and I'm a believer also, I think these factors influences my view about life and I absolutely love it)

A man needs money and sex, if he can't get these, he gets miserable.

Stop projecting your own worries thinking you can use it to scare men to do what you want.

Your point is as lame as a man telling you that "If you marry, then you will not have your own money and opportunities of sex with multiple men when you are in your 40s".

Can you see and feel how lame that "threat" will be?

Married men are being denied sex by their wife

Married men spend most of the money

Married men now have wife who don't want to cook, clean, wash etc all in the name of equality

So what are men now benefiting?

Don't mind some people talking about "blissful" and "enjoying" your marriage.
