The more single women out there, the more single men.

I know plenty of guys that age who are still single.
Why is nobody on their case?
Abi the ladies go marry themselves?

#rolls eye.

Thank you oo. Lots of single old cargo men's out there. 2 of my bro inlaws are over 40 and unmarried. Heck even my bro is 40 and unmarried ( about to get engaged). Why no threads on this abeg leave these women alone, don't add to their feelings of desperation.

quivah:

man, you've been screaming Isi 4:1 .. did you bother to read the proceeding chapters
and tell us who he was referring to.

anyways, if the economy refuses men to marry a woman , how will it support polygamy to the extent of limiting the rate of unmarried women? even when some men(wealthy) themselves don't advocate for it.

the white men came with Christianity/Islam religions, they destroyed our idols, cultures.. if polygamy destruction is the only crime you see, then you are a hypocrite!
dump your Jesus, And start idolizing like your forefathers used to..drop civilization and go back to the bush man's life...then you can start saying we copy people's culture, practice what you preach.
white men are not your woes, your holy mighty forefathers worthy of emulation are.. they sold their lives/culture and are worse off being looked up to. Esaus!

Muslims/some Christians still practice polygamy cause they want it.
if you want 5 wives, go ahead(no one will penalise you) but don't forcefully bring verses that don't agree with u into it..

Who was isaiah referring to? I bet you can't explain. Sorry to burst ur bubbles but it is already happening. There will be a time were ladies will queue up to marry 1man. Take it or leave it. It is already happening. Several ladies are complaining, some have turned the church to their second home all because of no man to marry them. The truth is bitter but you better be ready to swallow it. Have you wondered why a lot of single ladies are running after married men even when they know he is still married?

bros, here in the north, men are free to marry upto four wives and some marry more but they tend to marry mostly child brides and divorce them a few years later, the result is we have uncountable ladies aged twenty and above desperately searching for husbands without success. summary, polygamy is not the solution

I don't take this kind of threads serious anymore. It's a big shade on the womenfolk and single sisters. I wonder how and why our society automatically blames a woman for being single. Will the woman marry herself? More single ladies mean more single men. I know many virtuous born again sisters that still unmarried. Is it a woman's fault if she is unmarried at a certain age?
The bible says,'He that finds a wife finds a good thing'. It is the responsibility of men to find wives. More single ladies mean that single men are not doing what should be done.

Sit there waiting for men to find you as part of their responsibility.

No problem.

You will end up like this when you are close to expiry date.

because they lack that knowledge...

If a man impregnates a woman.. The man is legally responsible for the financial, welfare e.t.c of that child failure to do so will lead to prison time or huge fines..

But some Nigerian women will f:oolishly go and do abortion..

Yes oo, I don't mean It in a bad way but let's be honest most women of that age do feel a bit desperate. It's the biological clock see. I encourage anyone in that predicament not to think they are missing out on much. Marriage isn't all that sad. It's just the fact of wanting kids and society frowns on single mothers

Bros, nobody is saying that polygamy is the best solution but it will definitely curb or reduce the alarming rate. Also, the reason they are divorcing the ladies is that those girls were very small before they got married and when they grow up they tend to be adamant to their husband becos they never loved them. This case is different. It is between two adults.

Also, here in the south you will see alot of single ladies flocking around their pastors because they are in need of a husband. Some of these ladies tend to fall victim as they might end up being used by some dubious pastors. Some pastors will say it is a spiritual husband that is hindering them other say otherwise.

That is still an evidence that men are meant to be polygamous hence they quickly sign the bill. Your fore fathers were never monogamous but rather they were polygamous until the white men came and we started copying their cultures. Now even the women especially the black women in white countries are complaining of the high rate of unmarried women.

my dear, the truth is bitter but that prophecy in Isaiah 4:1 is gradually coming to pass.

Lol this guy will cheat tire when he marries. U had better marry more than a wife.
I dnt support polygamy. No right thinking woman will be happy sharing a man with another woman. Polygamy brings confusion and hatred in a family. Worse case when the man dies

Have you been seeing the news of late? Are women not killing their husbands already? Is it polygamy that caused it? Are people not getting divorced despite practicing monogamy?

BWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
see how you digged a hole for yourself. here we are debatting about the how/why there are so many unmarried +30 women in 9ja. you then had the audacity to compare 419 with goldiggers. i reminded you that 419 was a crime while golddigging was not. you then came back and told me that goldiggers are prostitutes and therefore it is the same thing. why didnt you call them that all along?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH


1) when was the last time you saw any of these "undercover" prostitutes be punished for their crime?
2) dont you think that it is therefore normal that these women end up old cargos, if they have been prostituting themselves all their lives?!


who want to marry some leftover ashewos?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

to my own point of view 95% of ladies are the cause there is no lady that wilt tel me a guy didnt come and seek hand in marriage from 18 to 28 at least 3 or 5 would come but then there blood is hot and they alow to pass them.ladies should be careful on there decision and also pray god leads you in every part of your life.the truth is everything about ladies are complicating.
in short a woman has to get married because someone asked irrespective of not being in love with her suitor or her not being emotionally and mentally mature to handle marital responsiblities? undecided

This is because most naija guys are slowly coming to the realisation that naija women are not marriage material but bunch of liabilities.. After weighing up the pros & cons of living with a liability, most guys reach the conclusion that marriage ain't worth the time or stress.

The sad fact is; most naija women are ugly, any honest person blessed with the gift of sight will agree with this. In addiction to this ugliness, naija women are further devalued by the so many vices corrupting their souls, this includes fakery, lying, greed, laziness, envy, bitterness, ignorance, arrogance....
on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your nigerian female family members?


To cap it all up, these women no longer exist in a world of reality, but in a fantasy world where Hollywood TV shows & movies are the paradigm.

The odds are really stacked up against Nigerian women, sadly their numbers are only going to swell in the coming years.

The odds are

That means your father is a dog
Your brohers are dogs
Your sons (if any) are dogs
Your male cousins are dogs
Your uncles are dogs
In short, all the males in your village are dogs
