Few marriages ke? With the high rate of divorce in law courts? with the too many sob stories of 'Had i known' around, even on nairaland and other blogs, you are telling me few? Wake up!! You are sleeping. Its women that are lamenting the most.

Point of correction, girls who can't get men to marry them that are desperate are running from one church to another and from one prophet to another. What planet are you from sef? Is it that you dnt know whats happening around you or what? or have you been in Coma?

krystal101: Madam mind you "not all". If the people around you have bad marriages, doesn't mean ALL

That there are still marriages working does not mean we should not discuse about the increasing divorce cases both those in courts and outside the courts, ok?

Also to guide us here, I put up this post to really exray the factors contributing to marriage delays, and not marriage divorces and continuity of marriages.

Hmm dis is serious revealation sexybabe. But why would someone pray for his or her spouse to die rather than divorce?

@Crackhouse, did u hear this testimony?

sexybaby22: most marriages are hell for both couples. most are not even happy but do want want to take the divorce route due to what the society will say.
so for those of you that think divorce rate is low because you dont seem to know people close to you who want to get a divorce, what you dont know is that a lot of women might even be praying for their spouse to die rather than getting a divorce.

crackhaus:
You people should stop giving all these beer parlor claims and statistics, give me numbers.
If not all go to court, then that's a smart answer because no matter how you spin it, the number of divorce proceedings that get to court does not account for up to 5% of all marriages.

So now I ask...among those that don't get to court, and limiting the test data to married people in your neighbourhood, family, or among married friends, how many marriages exactly can you say have ended?

You say you know of a few, please give us a number and when you do, compare the percentage of those to the number of people still in their marriages. Like I said before, limit your test data to your extended family, neighbourhood, and friends.

You don't just come here to say lots of marriages end in divorce or disaster...according to what statistics?


You are making a lot of sense. Most Nigerians just throw the words "MANY" and "ALL" around. Like "ALL MEN ARE CHEATS" or "ALL WOMEN ARE MATERIALISTIC", my question is of the 170 million Nigerians how many men or women have you personally met or heard their individual stories to come to this conclusion. At the highest 1 Million. So why the exaggeration.

Damn, it's like I'm trying to make a point to walls on here.

crackhaus:
You seem to be blowing hot and cold, what exactly should we discuss?
First you say this:


And then you literally go back to say this:


What exactly do you want to be discussed here?
