uchennaq:
I got married when I was earning just 75k. I took the list and started buying things gradually. The dowry was 150k. I had to plan with my beautiful wife and we did everything successfully. We invited just family members and few friends from both sides. If you look at most people against marriage, they are either useless junkies, Oloshos that don't have plan, lazy Nigerian youths and ritualists.

GeneralBuhari:


Because money no dey.

Everything about woman is expensive so which man ready to dey take care of all those expenses all in the name of marriage?

I pity the unmarried guys

LollySeaSide:

It depends on what you mean by "settling down".
Men are not losing interest in settling down.
Men are wary of setting themselves up for untimely death.
If by settling down you mean marriage, then know that a man can settle down and live his life to the fullest without getting married to a woman.
Marriage is unfortunately overrated and entitled ladies are making it even worse.
I've lived two parts of my life; the first 33 years and the last 5 years.
I can tell you for free that the last five years have been nothing short of awesome, peaceful, organised and worr-free.
You know why?
You guessed right!
There isn't a woman in life except my mother who has always been in my life.
I may get married again but that will be much much later in my life.

I sent this question to a friend of mine and that's the reply he sent me.

I hope I can still summon the courage to marry.

uchennaq:


I can't commit suicide because I know you are a low life and I love my beautiful wife and daughter. Most Oloshos and useless men will have this ideology of marriage being unimportant,because they must give you excuse. Just the way useless people are saying that Education and Adulthood is a scam. Typical examples of LAZY NIGERIAN YOUTHS.

Geesaintagape:
Settle down as how? I have settled down without wife.

Rayban25:


And how long will that last when most of your eggs are dried and you cant use your beauty any more as leverage on men?.in the end you ladies lose not us

yemi1504:


Please continue to pity us! The dating market for marriage out there is a total disaster!

Demigod22:
Economic factor: we have young men who are ready to settle down, but the economic downturn of Nigeria is taking away their dreams. Who do you feed and raise kids with no job? How do you take responsibility with meagre pay cheque? How can a jobless man raise bride price?

Emotional fraud: most people have neglected fidelity in a relationship/marriage. Men having extra marital affairs and women having babies for their ex in her marriage.

Scary event: Most girls are into hookup and do irredeemable stuffs for money, how can a man witnessing all these have the courage to settle down?

For me, I will gladly choose bottle of French Wine over marriage.

Zooposki:


Lol. I’m financially independent and don’t want kids, so there is no amount of leverage for any guy to use on me. Sorry.

BigYash:
And who was marrying who? Who pays the Bride price? Who pays the bills? Who owns the house? In this part of the world ,can't a man marry more than one wife at a time? Chill abeg,no come here dey justify cow shit

When you are struggling to take care of yourself, don't you know you won't reason about settling down.

imagrg:
Most young men are financially unstable and what ladies opt for now is a man that can meet their financial needs and a majority of our young men today don't want to shoulder any responsibility. Men feel that it is more comfortable for them to settle for hookups than committing themselves to some financial and emotional trauma.

Bmaster:
ashawo wey full nearly everywhere na he cos am.
Imagine a state without ashawo joints,how fast babes around would be getting married.


My thought though...

JAWBONE:
After I enter Premier for Oluti, Lagos yesterday, I understand this question better

theymany:
When one always provides and the other one only knows how to take without assisting even if the economy is no joke and yet still want everything don for them, u get alot of men looking for just sex n not marriage

Rozross:
I won’t say it’s all about hardship because I’ve seen comfortable bachelors that has refused to settle down. It’s because of the moral bankruptcy of the society, singles are also enjoying the privileges of marriage , so they become reluctant in doing the needful.

Stephen2324:
Why are men loosing interest in settling down?

ufuosman:
Economy problem is one of the major reasons

Rayban25:
Apart from economy we have some women that will marry you and then divorce you to take your money...in the case of if you're not married to her and shes a babymama, you can still be commanded by the court to pay child support so its risky to just give your last name or seed to just any woman

potland:
how much per short rest

GeneralBuhari:


The problem right now is not that the dating market is now a disaster, according to you.

The problem is that it will only continue to get worse for so many of you unmarried guys.

Demigod22:



Marriage is scary, too risky and stressful for me. My mother wants me to marry but I am not even thinking about that now. I prefer going out to drink French Wine, eat fruits, stare at the sea, sunset, green grass and trees, listen to bird's serenade, music and watch movie and sleep.

Stephen2324:

jeromestarks:

We realized that marriage is retirement program for women so we better have baby mamas.
But marrying a virgin is a union because she gave you her Best years and you took care for her and maintains her.

Men only suffer in marriages.
It's better they get the pvssy outside than the over used pvssy their wives offer them.
