Why Do Nigerians Get Married. by OrumbaS89(f): 4:55am On Apr 01, 2008
When I got to college, every future plan I heard always included matrimony. With America topping lists of infidelity and divorce, I used to wonder why everyone was so determined to get married. Where they influenced by culture or their religion? Was their marriage or bust mentality due to socioeconomic factors? Or do this people believe in the age old adages of love and soulmates?

I am an Igbo women. Growing up in alaigbo and America, I was taught that marriage is a vehicle that delivered love, financial security, and companionship. I want to know what to other Nigerians think about matriomony. My people, please tell me why we get married.

Is this a question?
Re: Why Do Nigerians Get Married. by redsun(m): 8:28am On May 26, 2008
Just for name sake most times.Most people don't understand the basis of relationship yet all they think about is marriage,especially black african girls,,just because my friend or my cousin is married,i want to marry as well,without even having a clue of what your roles are as a partner in marriage,put the traditional clues aside,the realistic clues.

Some of them use their live savings to do that thing,even if it means starving the children,i have seen people do that,no love,no compromise,yet they want to be a MRS.

Marriage as we know it today is a man made institution,traditions,the true marriage is the relationship,how real it is.You can't give what you don't have.
