I really don't understand why some people wont mind their own business. Let your sister be. She know what is good for her. Focus on your life dude and let her decide whatever she want for herself. |

IntelChief: it's better for her to be single than to rush into marriage or a relationship with the wrong guy. However what I do in such situations is ask the girl what type of man she fancies then ask how she plans to get or meet such a man, what actions she's taking and how it's been working or not working sofar then I give her some tips or even referrals. |

If she's not ready, she's not ready. Pray for her on your own, and get her to visit a counselor that can help. Honestly, it ain't good at that age! |

bisqit: In Nigerian, almost everybody wants to get married or are getting married because of "what our society demands". The society demand of marriage is coming from our culture and religion. But the truth still remains that marriage is not meant for everyone irrespective of what society is calling for. When people that are best single get married due to societal demands, most of the time, the marriages are full of troubles and mostly result into divorce and dysfunctional family and children. The dysfunctional children from such marriages will go on to negatively affect the society at large. |

Such a child, if she was your younger sister you wouldn't even be asking for advice you would have beaten her to comma. |

How I wish you had at least discussed with her first before bringing up the matter here. You also mentioned something about getting physical with her, is it to beat advise or sense into her or what? 32 is not too old or young for marriage, just let your sister know that money and comfort in life are not ends in themselves. Man of the family, your's too is ahead of you, I hope you will make a better example |

I understand family inherited poverty which induces unnecessary fear of the future that sometimes make us focus all our life on financial pursuit do make people to make some irrational and sometimes drastic decisions that do later afffect their lives negatively, we must strive to balance things and not end up living a regretful life by following imported cultures we see as modern or civilized. No matter how civilized we Africans try to form or claim or portray, we are more of family oriented people and no amount of civilization can take that away from us, and that is one reason every Nigerian man or woman no matter his or her level of educational qualification, financial success and exposure still crave for marriage as a way of completing their life. Op I understand your pains but please don't go physical or confrontational with your sister about she getting married. In as much as you really care about her future, remember she is an adult that have her life to live and will be solely responsible for her decisions and actions. As for taking guys coming to her serious, what I think is that those guys approaching her may not be her spec and that could be the reason she is forming uninterested. Take it from me, once your sister finds a man that have 50 percent of the qualities she fancy in a man, she would commit. Best you can do for her is to put her in your prayers for guys of her taste to come for her. To those saying marriage is not necessary to live a fulfilled life, you guys maybe right but I am yet to see a fulfilled Nigerian man or woman who died single without ever getting married or having children. Always remember your old age when your strength will start failing, loneliness sets in, no matter how rich you are and how many domestic workers you have, they can never be compared to having your own children, grandchildren coming around to see you and spend time with you. You can't even get the same care your children and grandchildren would give you through domestic workers. There is this level of joy my aged parents express whenever they see me or any of my siblings come around, or whenever they see any of their grandchildren and great grandchildren pay them a visit. So as you club around town now and flexing your youth and thinking that all that matters is making money without balancing it with having honest, solid plans for marriage and building a happy home/family, remember old age will definitely come. You are a Nigerian, an African and not an American. 1 Like |

You sound like the child that you are. How can you say that you want to go physical with your elder sister because of marriage? What about asking her respectfully in a very relaxed moment to know her plans for herself? Meanwhile she doesn't owe you an explanation. IntelChief: |

Please don't come here and beg for us to come and bail you at the police station after she locks you up. But, what makes you think you can even beat her just because you have a dicck?
