Is it by force to marry in Nigeria?
And y'all wonder why your marriages are failing.
Keep forcing "already dead before it started" marriages on your daughters and sisters.

NOIBMUUL: I'll like to pitch my tent with what an elderly man once told me; if a lady is above 30 with no husband or is not already in a serious relationship then she should check her behaviour. And also if a man isn't married or in a serious relationship at the same age, he should get serious. Unfortunately, these traits are easily recognisable from some of the comments here!

We just need to re-align our values, carefully select our priorities and yes of course lead a realistic life.
I'm careful not to put blame on the family (parents) because 'pikin whey go spoil go spoil!!!'

times have changed - a lot of young men know when to marry but many can't even afford the cost these days. the economy and the number of years youths spend acquiring degrees are the factors pushing the the age to the early/mid 30s

luvmijeje: If u are above 30 and u still single pls don't settle for less.I know it is easier said than done but what is the use of getting married and u re unhappy.
Pls don't let society pressurize u into making a wrong choice.
'Why are there high rate of divorcee and single mothers' are threads that people should open on NL.

here is the scale of preference for ladies;

1. Happily Married with a loving caring, young and well to do husband.

2. Happily married with a not so loving, not so young and not so well to do husband.

3. Marrying a widower or a divorced man with children

4. Being a second wife to an already married but caring man.

5. Being a single mother with some support from the father.

6. Being a single mother without any support from the father.

7. Remaining childless and se.xless for the rest of your life.

I am sure very few ladies would choose the last option if it foretold that they would not get the first 2 options.

No short way of saying it! It is not an issue peculiar to Nigeria. It is worldwide.

I haven't read all the thread, but I read one that said something about family and home training. It is not exclusively so and more a misconception. There are now many many decent, well raised, "untouched" ladies who are still single.

A few points to note - the population/demography is such that more women than men are born. Men are increasingly marrying much later in life, which implies more women are going to be left waiting. When the man in his early 30's finally decides to marry, he is likely to go for a woman in her mid to late 20's. This means he has passed or reached down, leaving an age band in between. Conversely, if a man were marrying in his mid 20's, he'll most likely marry someone only a few years younger. If he were marrying in his 30's, the scope he can chose from becomes wider - for some anything from 20-30 years - implying he has more women to pick from. For the woman, it means even "mathematically" the probabilities are stacked higher against her.

For as long as more women are being born, and men delay marrying it would continue to remain a challenge.

One mature matching website said for every man they have, they have over 10 women.

Is there a general solution? Maybe not. Except the gender imbalance is redressed through more male/less female children being born. If that were to happen, it still takes a few decades for the new births to grow too. So realistically, not an immediate answer. But on an individual basis, one can seek to encourage young women to marry earlier than male counterparts, so they don't find the pool of men they can chose from is less in size. For the older ones who are still hopeful, be realistic and review your criteria. There is less and less to pick from.

Mamacita007: Its this kind of post that make many women rush into the wrong marriage even when deres no love just to please people and to stop them from talking. Is not better to wait for the right person than to marry becos u're almost 30?

CAMEROONPRIDE: dude u don't need a wife to b happy. Your family and your friends are there for your happiness. Are you aware that men die earlier than women? Blame their wahala they too much. If you want to die old and enjoy the fruit of your work don't get married.
I totally disagree with you tell me more to corroborate your take on marriage lolz
Re: What Are The Reasons For High Level Of 30 Years+ Single Ladies In Nigeria? by Nobody: 2:49am On Mar 02, 2013
There is also early age marriage contribution. Without proper understanding of marriage many end up being impregnated and jump out of the relationship early with a child or more. If you look to most of their background they thought early marriage is always good. Another thing, blame the society on coercing people to get married.

bomly: When did being single at 30 become sin? or become a thing of immoral? Naija we don start again with our one sided mindset. There is sure possibility that some may not even want to get married or are trying to face other more important life issues, however this is seen I really think this is more an individual issue.

Nope. It only becomes a sin when u're forty, ur eggs are frozen and none of ur age mates wants to marry u. This is when u cn now be a sugar mum and pay younger guys to "love" you.

Obviously.

But how many women are like Halle or even Tiwa Savage in their 30s. undecided

Even Tiwa savage as pretty as she must have been when she was younger, age is beginning to tell on her face. I always new the babe was quite old despite the make up and hip dressing. It's not about the make up and dressing. There just exist a perceived awaresness that he lady in question is passing a prime stage. I can't explain it.
