Research has it that out of 100% of our girls, only 65% tie the nuptial knot, leaving the remaining 35% to wonder in the aisle of the valley of fate. The exasperating aspect is that society puts cartons of blame upon this impeccable folks, which are oblivious that their misfortunes are not caused by any shrine or ancestral lineage as they are seduced to believe.
Let’s look at some obnoxious practices that has enslaved our girls’ marital destiny, even though these practices are celebrated, promoted and advertised ignorantly.

I) TRADITION: Some traditional practice has played an enormous detrimental role to plague our girls in the dungeon of singlehood. This practice are really common in the south-south and south-eastern states. Bride price in the south eastern state ranges from 400-600 thousand naira excluding other marital rites that must be performed before a girl’s hand is given in marriage. This reminds me of the Pharisee in Matt 23:4 (“for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but themselves will not move them with one of their fingers”). This acts are bizarre and unbiblical. I beseech our Clan heads, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Paramount rulers, Oba’s, Councillor, Elders, Musicians, Non-governmental organization, Nollywood, Youth leaders, etc. to openly condemn this disgusting practices and work en masse to enforce our girl’s freedom from such traditional manipulation.

II) CULTURE: some culture on the other hand are excruciating. Where our girls are restrained from marrying from a particular ethnic group because of a feud that transpired between both communities during days of Adam, before the birth of our great grandfather is so eccentric and nauseous. Other times they may come up with a phrase like; you cannot marry from that clan, that clan was cursed. Men from that community are outcast. Making the word of God effect less. Col2:14(“ blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us , which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross”). MY QUESTION to those who support such is; WHY DO YE TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD BY YOUR CULTURE? (“Matt 15: 3”). This cultural practices should be abolished.

III)
RELIGION: some religious practice has been the surreptitious fuel that has burned out our girls marital bliss aspiration; yet it is the cancer that is inconspicuous to the carnal eyes. It can only be detected by the use of a high intensity binocular. A practice whereby a man must be a member of a particular congregation (church) before he is approved to wed is outrageous and crude. This is a display of self-righteousness and secret hatred for humanity (Luke 18:9). I have no doubt if this religious bigotry is addressed and cremated, a lot of our girls will be singing hallelujah as the tie the nuptial knot this Saturday.

iv) NEGATIVE PARENTAL INFLUENCE: The truth must be told, some parents have masterminded their daughters singlehood with all audacity and lacks contrition. Parents should desist from the habit of denying their second daughters hand in marriage pending when the first daughter will be married; imposing the idea of marriage after graduation is not as well exhilarating. The men are not spared of this negative compulsion as they are threaten to carry the pathetic generational load of responsibility of the family until they are exhausted and broke. prov 3:27 (“ withhold not good from them that is due, when it is in thine hand to do it”). Dear parent, please relieve our sons and daughter of this negative influence.

v) MATERIAL DELUSION: It is a candid saying that between what happens and what will happen is “our choice”. The wise choice we make “pleases us while the unwise choice torments”. Not until our girls realise that beauty is vain, they will maximize their prime. It is bilious that our girls are selective of their suitors with the eye of flesh (“2cor4:18”). They ignore the prospective guy they can predict for an unpredicted readymade fake wealthy guy with means of livelihood that cannot be expound. They are ready to spend eternity waiting for an abroad base suitor they just met on twitter, eschewing and repelling industrious suitors that lives next door. Dear lady: behind that low income guy today; is a prospective millionaire. Under the shirt of that guy with a bald hair is a caring and loving heart, in whom there is no guile.’’ All that glitters is not gold”. I encourage every lady to get engage in a carrier, trade or profession as these will boost their chances of early marriage.

…. If you have been offended with some weird practices in your clan, family, neighbourhood, etc. Please, share your challenges. Join me to crusade against negative practices that has eaten up our society. IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE: LET’S CHANGE THAT TRADITION, CULTURE AND RELIGION!

A contributing factor also is the new tradition of one man one wife. In the generation of our fore fathers they married upto 5 wives, that accounted for almost all women married at the appropriateappropriate age. Unless ladies u'll agree to share cos marriageable men wrt age is less than women

POLYGAMY!
The natural population of women to men is 3:1 if not more than; yet some religion and cultural belief frowned at it. Instead, they prefer to become prostitutes, single mothers or carrier women. Polygamy is the key to reducing the number of unmarried women.
