The rate at which people are telling me to get married lately is alarming, it got me looking at the mirror to check why they are doing it.

Every person I meet, which I have not met for a while, would ask me if I am married or single.
Every week whenever someone younger than me in my area is getting married my friends would say to me "you really need to get married people younger than you are getting married" I keep thinking why always me? There are lots of guys older than me and unmarried but they don't pressure them about marriage like they are pressuring me.

I create this thread out of anger, because I have just come back from where I sit with my friends, and one of them suggested that they should contribute money and find me a wife.
Just because I am 30 years old.
Is 30 years a curse or what? since when i hit 30 years, people have made me depressed they kept suggesting that at 30 I should have this and that.

Its disgusting. they think its a joke but honestly I begin to hate it.

Same with me. I’m in your shoes. I never believed men get pressured over getting married until I hit 30+.

Sorry but the only reason why they are able to tell u this is because maybe you have really made anything for yourself.
If you were successful and independent, or at least not relying on anybody for anything, then nobody will put mouth in your business or at least it will be minimal.

That said, it is actually a good thing to get married. But not before you are ready.
My advise is to go out and hustle, make money and everybody will leave u alone.

As a man if he has made money that's when the pressure would be worse, because what could be stopping him from getting married.

Everybody is under same pressure m it's just the Nigerian thing that people have expectations on your behalf. They believe at so so so point, you should be doing this and at so so so point, you should be doing that. It's just the way our society have been built

Why not do what I did? Just tell them that you are divorced with 2 children and that you visit them once a year.

If they want to follow you on the visit, tell them that you fought with your wife on the last visit so the magistrate placed you on 10 years non-visitation sentence.

Look deep inside, is your reason not to get married an instinctual one or you just made yourself consciously rebellious towards it.

The Truth remains, It is not good for a Man to be alone.

If you think God made you different, then you shouldn't be angry, rather ignore or give them a reason for your calling.

But if you are just working, working and working. Then you need to get married. Ignore the fear and irresponsible mentality you are embracing.

So because he talk say him get 5 million that means he is ready to feed another mouth and even carry kids in Nigeria of today, abi? Many of you are still disconnected. Either that or poverty is your default mode! undecided

They will keep pressuring you but when you enter unprepared, nobody will pay your bills or even assist you.

Do not let anyone put you under pressure to marry

**Op I married when I clocked 40**

Some things I would advise though:

> Marry a soul mate who you can tell sit down on the ground and she will.
> You are a man and can marry when you are ready , however if you are waiting for millions before you marry you may never marry.
> I didn't have up to 200k in my account, but had a 3 million wedding with spare change.
> Don't let your wife to bes people dictate the spending on your wedding ( you are the one paying not them)
> My experience - I fought the TM list and reduced it drastically (whilst telling them they can marry their daughter if they won't budge) my wife did the needful.

Funny enough now, there is pressure on my wife not me to have a child. grin

I have asked her to chill, some days she listens...some days she doesn't stating menopause.

But me.... I put my feet down and told her whoever is putting her under pressure can come and give her belle (she won't cheat)...but the idea that I don't care puts shiver down her spine.

In summary, the decision to marry now or in 10 years time depends solely on you. Looking for a homely girl ready to settle down and not a broke a55 slay queen with a broke a55 family to make your forever partner.

Imagine demanding for a bike (okada), big gen amongst other outrageous things - regalia for a great grandfather who don kpai since all in the name of tradition for this economy. Aunty come dey say it's tradition (all in the name of looking for marriage) mchewwe

Good luck bro!

A full grown adult female must not necessarily be a dependant.
She can also be a hard working self reliant good wife, adequately supporting his husband to build their marital life

Marriage ain't shit no more.

Most women now are liabilities....Infact,i call them "THE PLASTICS".

They are materialistic,entitled and proud.

The few good single women we have in this country will have to be shared by over 40 million single men.

It's a pity so many men will get married to hoes cos all these hoes you see around will still get married.

Imagine a high valued man been pressured to go get married to a woman that have been fvcked by more than 5000 guys.

The most important thing in life is happiness....As long as you're happy,you good bro.

If care is not taken, you will come back here in 30 years time to start a new thread with the same complaint. Sometimes, it is really about age but being financially buoyant and people are aware of this
