Why Does Youth This days Marry So Late. by nkemjacob2(m): 3:22pm On Mar 26, 2017 |
If i could recall my father married at the age of 26 my mum at the age of 19. But now we see men and sometimes women clocking towards 30 and above before getting married. What could be the reasons. Share your experience if you fall under this category and why are you not married. 1 Like |

nkemjacob2: The economy was good during their time, and social wise things weren't complex today's lady's are more sophisticated, recession is on the increase, bills are pilling up, it's hardly any reason why most youths are not married, but mind you this is mostly a Lagos problem other states less complex might not have this problem. |

It has nothing to do with job or money. Why is it that late marriages are common in the cities where we have all the wonderful jobs and offers? In fact, a full-time job is directly proportional to a late marriage. Availability of money and job are among the reasons people marry late. When you have a lot of money to waste, you spend it drinking and sleeping around (things your fathers didn't do in their time). For the ladies, availability of wonderful jobs (that take all your time, including weekends) could be a limitation. That iPhone 7 and the Brazilian hair could scare a lot of guys, especially those earning less than N200k. Those that earn much more are already married! They started like the other guys y'all reject. Just look around you, you'd discover that many young couples in Lagos didn't start their journey in Lagos. They met outside Lagos, and only decided to take it further. There is this thing about Lagos and places like Abuja, etc., that keeps you busy, busy chasing money and other vague stuffs. Mind you, Lagos will eventually take the money from you and leave you spouse-less. Like a plaque, you won't realize what has been happening to you. I expect that all Lagos churches will conduct at least 4 weddings weekly given the population of the city, but check around you, you'd find that that ten year old church with over 500 members have not conducted a single wedding in 8 years. Late marriage is a city thing, people are too busy here minding other people's business. Does it mean that we don't have broke people in the city? Of course, we do. Are they married? No, they are not, but many of them co-habit. If you want to live a reckless life, go and hide in the city where no one will see you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Thing has change, for the girls, you will not give your daughter for marriage at the age of 18 or 19. For the guys one of the problem is MONEY. |
