I don't blame you, I blame your sister she has allowed you people to see her finish.

if she got a herself a good job, moved out to another town while minding her business nobody will have have the guts to be stressing about her singleness and her posting pictures on Facebook.

she should better give herself levels mtseew.

I guess you didn't read the " toying with men part "

how do you get the right one when you search for crappy men?

@29 you still post pictures, toy with men?

is that something you wish you blood related?

she is a carefree person.besides if she actually toys with men and then gets married with that attitude,wouldn't it result to domestic violence cos of that lifestyle.
my elder sis was in her shoes before.at a time our parents were mounting pressure on her we the younger siblings told them to leave her alone.
she is married now but with the man she loves not under pressure.
They are simply irritated by her presence in the home nothing more. If she were to be leaving alone and giving them money,none of them will insult or fight her.
The same way you guys don't want to pressured into marriage the same way women shouldn't.
Marriage is not an achievement!
BTW I'm happily married with 2 boys...

mature humans shouldn't be forced to do what they are not ready to do. she should be allowed to choose wether she wants marriage or not.

That stage in your life when you take full responsibility for your own life, choices, peace of mind, health and happiness, not relying on others to do things for you or placing blame for your circumstances on others. being more aware of your environment.

interesting, I remember when a certain pastor said men who are still unmarried by 35 are not responsible hell was let loose people criticized him from left to right.

bottomline nobody likes being under pressure.

very correct

exactly, I see her taking responsibility of her life in her father's house..... smh

a 29 year old doesn't know when to grow up

then what exactly have you been learning your whole life?

it's better you slay and fool around with men in your house, because how she sees life is different from what her family sees

so at that point she doesn't know what she wants, she's childish and not ready to be responsible

he only complained about her personality and her singleness.
maturity doesn't fall on you once you are married, there are immature married people and mature single people.

my point is @29 she is not a child so if she is not ready for marriage, she is not ready for commitment. it is only children you can be responsible for and tell what to do.

How come she doesn't have her own apartment at least spare the parents the aches she can live her life the way she wants am not gonna knock anyone for that, its up to her to decide what she wants in her life but its a problem when she causes issues for elderly people within the house unless the issue being caused is because of her being unmarried then I will say I don't support that, at least let her get her own place and do what she wants.

You don't understand, many of these ladies are unmarried and are close to (or more than) 29. They are simply venting their anger on the poor guy. What else will they do?

seconded!
In other words,they are birds of the same feather that flock together.

And to think they ain't ready to even change that annoys the fvck outta me coz their bad situation is only going to get worst.

To cap it up,they stupidly support their fvckd sentences like.....
'is it a must one gets married'
'my happiness is my priority and I am,as a single'....

when indeed they ain't or they cn bcme happier being married.

OK so because she's 29 she should be married? So you own her life
2.she's posting pictures on social media.are the pictures she's posting making your phenese smaller or your money miss?
3 she's toying with men.how did you come to that assumption?
4.she's always quarrelling with your dad?what's the basis of the quarell? I'm sure its the marital status.
5.she's domineering and unsubmissive. I realised that Nigerians are yet to decipher and differentiate the difference between domineering attitude and being self secured, self confident,and not let people disrespect you as opposed to being timid,shy or having shame facedness which is the typical expectations they expect from women.chimanda calls it making women feel guilty or feeling bad and insecure for being women and their only goals are to marry otherwise they're failures

My advise is if she's happy with her life,face yours.we all have different priorities. Maybe she has other priorities for now which is not marriage so the mere fact she's your sister doesn't mean you should be all up in her business and desist from giving unsolicited advise

excuse you.happiness means different things to different people

Some people derive happiness by going to church and engage in church activities
Some derive happiness by consuming alcohol and sex.

That she's a woman and she's 29 doesn't mean you have a right to define or impose what should make her happy. No body owns a woman.can't that sink into you men's head

exactly.

I was discussing with a friend she's 30 and the go and marry crew were all up in her business giving unsolicited advise on how to catch a man at work so after all said and done I asked her what's important to you now?what will bring you fulfilment and happiness like now and she said nothing that has to do with marriage. All of them were looking astonished as if she said she killed someone. I said at the end of the day its your life,you're responsible for your happiness and if marriage is not on your agenda,I wish you the best in your endeavors because even married people will say marriage doesn't solve problems and doesn't bring happiness so what's all the marriage fuss about. I told her my dear don't empower any man or woman so much that you put the key to your happiness in his/her hands .own your happiness

Please say this again, I don't think they know, nice post, I agree with you

Humanistme:
is it her bad attitude or her being single that is bothering you?

well there is nothing you can do about her attitude seeing that you are younger than her.

Encourage your mum to talk more to her by talking to her I don't mean scolding her like a child. you guys should also stop putting pressure on her to marry that may be the reason why she feels frustrated by you guys and she reacts by not listening and giving a shit.

she will marry when she's ready.

I agree with this also

What nonsense statement is this?

First of all Who says she is not happy? Did the op state whether she is happy or not?

Further more as for this statement you made "getting married to the right person at the right time is a right thing" it only applies to those who want to get married and it's only right them, for those who don't want to get married it doesn't apply to them and therefore is not right for them and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that too.

So because someone doesn't share your views to life the person is not right upstairs, What's really wrong with you? How will anyone's marriage or lack of it affect you? For you to make such a disgusting statement.

Just imagine the level of foolishness in this post

And to think they ain't ready to even change that annoys the fvck outta me coz their bad situation is only going to get worst.

Why should it annoy you? Why should it even concern you in the first place?
So you sit down there in your foolishness and think you know what makes someone happy or not more than the person in question? And you say you are weak. Trash

You need help.
It's one thing to be foolish,
But it's another thing completely to be so foolish and yet be so arrogant in your foolishness

Nigerians and their problem of intolerance towards opinions and ways of life that defer from theirs but in no way affects them.

Please get serious help, so that you will know better than to repeat such nonsense in public next time.

Hello Familylanders, I'm new here.

Hello

Please I need advice. I have a sister who is almost 29 and still single. My problem is not with her status but with her lack of interest in coming out of the her single status.

@ the bolded why is this an issue for you?

We've tried to be understanding and not put pressure on her but it's really telling on us especially we the guys because she is our senior.

@ the bolded how is it 'if I may use your words' telling on you guys?

That will help us to give you a better advice
because marriage is not an issue people jump into,
