On a serious note, it is not a must to marry, why cant these single ladies try to be successful and Live a beautiful life?
Our society is to be blame too.

missbronze: Na una sabi.

As for me, the only thing i desire in this life is to have a CHILD. A child to give all my love, to train, and to raise.

And, is only a child that will make me do anything desprate. because, a child is all i desire in this life.

Husband or no Husband, i dont give a damn.

And, am so glad that one can have a child without a husband.

donpeey22: Nigerian society also look down on eligible single men, why don't such men get so desperate like single ladies would?

donpeey22: The male chromosome (xy) has lower chances of survival than the female chromosome (xx), so the chances of a couple having more female babies are higher. More men are victims of war and other crises(e.g, boko haram et al) . Men are more involved in hazardous jobs, so they are more exposed to death by accident than women. Considering the above reasons, the poster that implied that the population of women is higher than that of men , is not far from the truth.

Thanks.

This is what I call objective.

DailyNews: hehe...first time you're agreeing with me, Dj roll out the drums pls

cococandy: Eya. Such fallacy.
There are 102 males born for every 100 females.

the rest are speculations as the last census shows that there are approximately as much men as women and in some countires more men than women even.

The problem is the word 'eligibility'
When many women are hoping to marry a rich man they tend to overlook the single not so rich guys out there.

The women who don't see money as the first on the list of desirable traits will attest that there's no shortage of marriageable men

Again

Men generally do the proposing and since many men have commitment phobia... You know the rest.

carefreewannabe:

I used to agree very often with you a long time ago.

DailyNews: my dear, u don't need to argue the fact that there are limited number of eligible or marriageable single men compared to marriageable single women because many things ought to tell u that without external words.

It has become a tradition for women never to marry guys they senior- I know u won't even date one talkless of marry.

Can u date a guy u gave say 5years? I am sure nope! But guys can date or marry a lady they gave even 10yrs or more- blame nature n society not men.

Men engage in violent acts that leads to sudden death than women- Boko Haram, ISIS, Al Shabab, drug peddling, robbery, cultism, crime fight, war, etc, etc.

Men engage in more deadly human endeavors which make many men of marriageable age to die before their time and thereby reducing the number of marriageable men.

In Nigeria for instance, so much pressure and forces are against the male child causing him early death or exposing him to premature death than his female siblings.

So many other reasons my dear...don't doubt it- we have more number of single ladies ripe and ready for marriage than marriageable single guys, and with the way things are going- crime and terrorism on the increase, the number of marrriageable men will drop not just in Nigeria but in the world as a whole; that's y we all need to pray for a global peace and unity.

If a man isn't crazy about me,I can't be with him.
Worked for me all the time. All the time.

All the time?, like how many times?

I have highlighted those age groups, in which individuals are most likely to get married.

It's time for polyandry, I guess.

Gloria3389:
I agree with u
it's not compulsory u marry if and Only if u can keep yourself...but it's also advisable to marry
1. to avoid fornication
2. for companionship
3.....I don't know..
now the question is how many can remain single and not fornicate(sleep around)??
#just my opinion#

carefreewannabe:


That would be nice.

DailyNews: that's not u na, or have u changed your sex

DailyNews: those figures are so fake and incorrect dear imagine how many men of marriageable age that have been killed in the fight against Boko Haram- bothe the Boko boys, our gallant soldiers and the youth victims. I am sure that figure wasn't captured in that index.

Nigeria has no correct census. In fact, no one except God knows the actual population of Nigeria because I witnessed the last census and it was bullshit done just for political reasons- to gain more political wards, to get more government revenue allocations, etc so people were just fixing figures as they like.

So carefree, forget those figures as far as Nigeria is concerned, that's the truth, so no polyandry for you

mentorandfriend: My opinion though is that a lady is under pressure from within (herself) and without to settle down. For guys, people will be outspoken about it, and the guy still moves around town, clubbing with the boys on friday nights. For ladies, the pressure is unspoken. There is this uneasiness around the house towards a single lady of 35 plus. That one is even a bigger pressure. There is something about bearing a man's surname: the respect, the honour of a married woman, the protection, and all that. When a lady turns 35, she is already a prayer project by a concerned mother. Though I dont think life should be that way. Society and parents should free these ladies. My aunt is a production manager at NNPC regional depot at Benin city. She married at forty. And she is happy
today.

carefreewannabe:


No, it's you dancing.

pansophist:
If you think it's only Nigerian women that does it, then you're deceiving yourself.
Women from all walks of life does it, there was even a documentary of Chinese women "renting" a man to take home and show to their parent as boyfriend/suitors, to ease the tension that will be mount on them if they are single.

cococandy:
You would agree if it says women are higher in number. No be so?
What reason would the workers have for inflating male population figures?

The pressure on wives to give birth to sons so as to continue the heritage (whatever that means) and to avoid being replaced by a malechild-bearing second wife is enough to tell you that the rate of male child occurences in nigeria Is probably higher than the 102males per 100females that is the world standard.
