Bandwagon mentality.
People that can't explore life beyond religion, sex and marriage.

The world is such a vast place, with so many people of diverse race and belief, o many sources of happiness ...yet some Nigerians think, if you're not married, hanging your leg on some burglary proof and popping out babies like a vending machine, you can't be happy.

Such parochial mindset.

Lol.. Wait on true love to sweep you not just off your feet but blow your mind. You sound / look like a nice person it should find you pretty soon.

Africa is lagging behind solely because of the corrupt practices of it's leaders. Don't blame religion for everyone of your problems. The UAE is a highly religious emirate & is strongly opposed to western influence...... More so than any African country. but today, it ranks pretty high among the richest and most developed countries in the world.
For all of the problems you can attribute to religion, this is definitely not one of them.
Religion is the last firewall left to breach before countries like Egypt start organizing topless parades and free the nipple_campaigns. Moral decadence is a slippery slope and i wouldn't trade religion for unchecked liberalism all in the name of looking cool & progressive.

Hmmnn, ok o.... though i doubt to an extent... Gud evening

In Nigeria, once u decide u are not getting married or u wish to but have not found the "right" person, people begin to see spiritual problems.

HONESTLY YOU MADE THE MOST SENSE ALMOST EVERYONE ELSE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE AT ALL. YET I DON'T BLAME THEM, THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS INVOLVED IN AN AGE SO CHOKED WITH MENTAL CONFUSSION. THE PROGRAMMING OF MINDS TO FIT ALL KINDS OF ILLUSIONS IN THE NAME OF 'MODERNISM', PULLING DOWN THE FAMILY STRUCTURE, FROM ITS FOUNDATION, WHICH IS MARRIAGE, BY MAKING MARRIAGE UNFASHIONABLE BY DELIBERATE DESIGN. "MORAL DECADENCE IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE" A TRUISM AT ITS CORE.........THAT'S WHY SUCH AS SILICION DOLLS IS THE LATEST INVENTION OF THE JUSTIFICATION OF YOUR TRUISM. DON'T EVEN PATROIZED SLUTS ANYMORE WE GOT DOLLS FOR YOU, THE GOT NO FEELINGS THEY WON'T BREAK YOUR HEART, AND YOU NEED NOT FEED THEM, TAKE RESPONSIBLITIES EXCEPT CHANGING THEIR BATTERIES OR WHAT EVER POWER SUPPLY . WHAT A DEGENERATION!!! FACT BEING THAT THOSE WHO AIN'T MARRIED ARE NOT MARRIED BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BECOME A CELIBATE, WON'T BE FVCKING AROUND. MARRIAGE IS MEANT TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY FROM THE DISEASES THAT COMES ALONG WITH FVCKING AROUND AND EVEN MORE THERE ARE LOTS OF METAPHYSIC TO IT. YET IT IS NOT BY FORCE, ONLY THAT IT IS SEEN AS ABNORMAL IN SOCIETIES THAT HAVEN'T LOST THEIR IDEALS TO PROFANITY. TO SEE SOMEONE WITH ALL IT TAKES TO BE BONDED AND CHOSE NOT TO. POSSIBLE IN A LOSE SOCIETY OF ILLICIT SEXUAL ADVENTURES. LIKEWISE MARRIAGE IS NOT ALL ABOUT MAKING BABIES.

BEFORE I CONTINUE, I GIVE YOU A FIVE STAR FOR YOUR POINT, "AFRICA IS LAGGING BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPT PRACTICES OF ITS LEADERS. TO BE MORE EMPIRICAL, WE CAN PLACE SINGAPORE AND NIGERIA SIDE BY SIDE AND ANALIZE. A FURTHER ANALISIS OF YOUR MENTIONED EXAMPLE . THE DIFFERENCE IS TOO CLEAR AS TO THE BY PRODUCT OF 'HONESTY' AND 'CORRUPTION' . (Don't mind my writing in capital letters I follow my own flow as it dictates). SINGAPORE MOVED FROM A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY TO A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY BECAUSE THEIR LEADER(S) WERE SINCERE, HONEST, DISCIPLINED, WITHOUT GREED AND FOCUS, HENCE THEIR CITIZENS HAD NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO FOLLOW IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS. AND MIND YOU ITS A COUNTRY SO DEEP IN SPIRITUALITY,   BUDDHISM IS A VERY DEEP SPIRITUALITY. A COMMON FACTOR WITH ALL RELIGIONS IS 'HONESTY', UNLESS BY MALPRACTICE WHICH IS 'CORRUPTION' LEADS NO WHERE BUT RUINATION. (My emphasy is on honesty and corruption) AND IN TRUTH WHAT IS TERMED AS PROGESS IN THE WEST, IS AT ALL NOT PROGRESS THEY ONLY SERVE TO SHARPEN THE PROBLEMS OF HUMAN AFFAIRS LEADING US TO BIGGER PROBLEMS. (This is a subject on its own, an insight to the reason why is as said by Albert Eistein, "Science without religion is lame" Religion in this context has to do with the principles that put common good first and not denial of a HIGHER ORDER. Inorder words turning away from the heavens in the pretext of conquring the Earth.)


WHICH IS "UNCHECKED LIBERALISM IN THE NAME OF LOOKING COOL & PROGRESSIVE" A.K.A 'FREEDOM', AN ILLUSION CREATED FOR THE SHALLOW IRESPONSIBLE MINDED, HAS ITS ROOTS AT THE TIME OF THE RENAISSANCE, WITH THE IDEOLOGY 'HUMANISM' AS WAS PROPAGATED. AS IT IS THE CRY TODAY 'HUMAN RIGHTS' DELUSION EMBRACED BY SO CALLED 'MORDENS'.

YOUR USING UAE AS AN EXAMPLE IS VERY ACCURATE. AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE MENTALITY OF THE EAST AS AGAINST THE WEST. THE WEST MENNTALITY IDOLIZES MATTER AND SEES IT AS THE END IN ITSELF, 'MATERIALISM' WHILE THE EAST SEES BEYOND MATTER, TAKES IT AS ONLY A MEANS AND NOT AN END IN ITSELF. THAT'S WHY ITS EASY TO MAKE SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE AS A FASHIONABLE THING, HENCE A CARNAL CULTURE OF THE WEST BECAUSE THAT SATISFACTION IS THE END IN ITSELF. INFACT PORNOGRAPHY TELLS IT ALL. ITS ALL ABOUT MALE GRATIFICATION IN THE MOST ANIMALISTIC WAY UNLIKE TANTRA WHICH IS INTIMACY FOR SPIRITUALITY, DEEPER CONNECTIVITY, HEALING PLEASURE. THE FORMER IS THE CULTURE THAT IS GRADUALLY TAKING OVER. SO, AFRICA IS BACK WARD BECAUSE IT FROWNS AT SUCH CARNAL CULTURE? THESE PEOPLE WHO SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT EVER IS THE OUT COME OF A ONE NIGHT STAND, CARING NOT THAT IS ANOTHER LIFE THAT MAY BE PRODUCED.

ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE SO INCLINED TOWARDS ANIMALISTIC INSTINCTS AND FAR BELOW.  MARRIAGE IS NOT ALL ABOUT BABIES ITS INFACT THE MICROEST INSTITUTION OF ALL HUMAN AFFAIRS WHICH AIM IS TO PROTECT THE SANITY OF THE SOCIETY BY TRUST. SEX IS NATURE MEANT TO BE ACCOMODATED WITHIN MARRIAGE WHICH IS CULTURE AS A SHIELD AGAINST VICE. AND UNLESS SPOUSES UPHOLD THAT TRUST MARRIAGE WILL FAIL. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO 'HONESTY' AND 'CORRUPTION'. THEIR BY-PRODUCTS IS CLEAR!!!

WE ARE HAVING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE KICKING AGAINST MARRIAGE TODAY IN NIGERIA FOR EXAMPLE BECAUSE THIS IS THE REALITY. "54% OF NIGERIA'S YOUTH ARE UNEMPLOYED" (National Bureau of statistics 2012) AFTERALL GETTI MARRIED TO LEGITIMATELY EAT PVSSY AND SUCK DEEK IS NOT ALL ABOUT MARRIAGE IF YOU CANT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.

I must say with great humility that I appreciate your response. Straight to pointing hitting the right cord along the way. I opened this thread to learn, and see others views as regards marriage. You just made my day. Thanks

olamefun1990:

You've made valid points but that is just a single point of view. The reason UAE is this developed is because in spite the dogma of religion they opened up to scientific studies and realities. America is a God's own country yet they are a circular nation cus they want to remove the many controversies religion brings. I'm a Christian but I'm very much opened to proof than fallacies. Our leaders in africa do not only exploit our lack of full understanding of the verious religions they also influence the preachers of religious doctrines. This is y u will see someone compel other not to vote for a particular person on religious grounds. A member of a Northern state house of assembly recently rejected blatantly the idea of family planning cus Prophet Mohammed instructed them to marry as much wives they wish to and bear as many children as they can. By the way, religion is not the only way immorality can be clubbed. Morality in itself has nothing to do with religion but personal values and that of the society where one recides.
