firstEVA: That's too early if you ask me, what time will you see and 'enjoy' life.

Enjoy life?? Like how? having multiple boyfriends all in the deluded sense of 'experience'.

Tucees: 19 and it almost happened but guys that age or around that age like say 22 don't have marriage on their minds so I was left with having to choose from the 36 upwards age bracket and mum and dad and elder ones gave a big hell NO!! Now that I'm 30 and still single they can't stop breathing down my neck asking me when I wanna get married?? I'm like that was 11 years ago

Sorry about that one. I know how you feel. When i was in my undergrad years, my parents were absolutely adamant that i don't date anyone. Now my mom is always bothering me.

Tucees: I wanted to enjoy and see life with the man I'll marry! I wanted the both of us to go thru it and not one leading the other in the ways of life! The mistakes, the accomplishments and all! I wanted him and me to share that "first time" experience now weh my eyes don tear finish what will a man do to amaze me again? Absolutely nothing!!! I've seen it all and that hurts.

Eyah pele o.

firstEVA: pardon my ignorance but I thought after marriage, babies.

In the Nigerian context.
That's why people get old waiting to be married before they live happily or become fulfilled.

I don't think it's just in the Nigerian context, its the ideal situation, its just unfortunate that everything is turning upside down and inside out all in the name of civilization. I believe a child born in wedlock fares better, my opinion though.

donroxy: Good God !

This kinda comment among other comments like this crack me up big time !!

U never can tell what women-folks pass through in the name of searching for Mr right but when you see 'em damsels on the street , they all look like all is well

mehnnn, God go surely bless una with superb final say !

Amen.

Ofcourse you are right but alota women have been left frustrated because of the "i must get married before having kids" mentality and notion they have.

What do you do if the marriage you are waiting for doesn't happen anytime soon? Would you rather waste your fertile and productive years waiting for the man to show up , force yourself into an unhappy marriage or have someone whom you will shower your love and attention on?

I think those who desire to have kids and can give them good upbringing should go ahead and have them whether in or outside marriage. This will reduce the number of desperate and unhappy singles around, atleast they will have something and someone to live for.


My opinion!

Okays Am 18 nOw..shuld graduate @ 20(if ASUU no dO spoil) then marry 28....#sohelpmeGod

I had hoped to settle down at 26 years,everything was on course until he decided that we move it to the end of this year which I agreed to. Mid year, stories started. Whether na jazz person give am, or he did it on purpose, I can't tell but I kip praying to God to touch his mind and give him d courage to do the right and loving thing .

I thought marriage is also enjoyable, if done right coupled with God's grace.

firstEVA: That's too early if you ask me, what time will you see and 'enjoy' life.

27-29. May God help someone in this country Nigeria.

50 yrs.Dont ask why.Am married and I know why I said 50[size=8pt][/size]

SenatorJames: I thought marriage is also enjoyable, if done right coupled with God's grace.

the bible says wisdom is profitable to direct, i dont think it is wise for a girl to marry at the age of 18 for example.

MRSANITY: If i had my way, i won't marry, but society will not just allow me be

seconded

30 is fine

6-8

....

26

Wanted to get married at 22-23(finished uni 19 and had a very gud paying job in fact my dream job) bt as my lyf followed gods plans not my plan am close to 40 single(best reasons known to me) and not regretting coz I think am better off this way and have peace of mind.
