There have been worries in many families in Igbo land especially in Anambra when male children fail to get married when they are due.
Often times, men as old as 40 remain unmarried, not
because they do not want to be married, but because they
lack the resources to do so.
Findings show that one of the reasons is high bride price.
In many Igbo communities, it is believed that marriage is
meant for mature men, not boys. Therefore, only real men
who are ready and well equipped financially can pay the
exorbitant bride price and provide all the items in the list
brought by the family of the bride, which includes goat,
bags of rice, tubers of yam, clothes and cash for various
categories of people. Sometimes it is even made a
condition that the bride must train one of her siblings up to
the university level.
Again, Igbo men keep postponing marriage because, apart
from the high bride price, which could be as high as
N20,000, the cost of traditional marriage is also high as it
requires the throwing of flamboyant ceremonies as may be
required by the family of the bride.
For such traditional ceremonies, the groom provides
money for dresses to be worn by the bride and the bridal
train, the bride’s mother and her friends and provides
money for the elaborate cooking that would be done.
Late marriage inevitably became more pronounced when
unemployment hit the rooftop. For one to meet marriage
requirements, he has to have a steady income.
With graduates staying at home without jobs several years
after graduation and with those who did not attain
university education being apprentices for about eight
years before they are settled by their masters to begin their
own business, marriage becomes the least priority for men.
Besides, many Igbo girls prefer husbands who are already
rich.
Failure to get such husbands often attracts scorn from
female colleagues and so, they would rather wait until rich
men come to ask for their hands in marriage.

The matter requires urgent attention. You will be surprised seeing a man having his first child at the age of 45-50 when Yoruba and Hausa don already turned grandpa....

Bride price set aside,,I bliv most igbo who have d money or still struggling 2 get d money wants 2 "enjoy their life" as a bachelor before settling down 2 "one" woman,Hence, come of age in d process

Bcox ibo man will use d first dota bride price to sponsor and feed d whole family of 9....

Kind of true, igbo men marry late, I guess it's cos they just want to make enough money so that they can take care of their family

They marry late because most are business oriented and wish they make money first before marriage, me am an igbo man, I have seen a girl to marry but income is not steady, God knows that if I get a steady income I don marry finish

We're just about the most unique set of men in Nigeria.
Whatever we choose to do is always in the news

Back to the matter
Op save yourself the stress, we marry only when we deem fit.

Well its good.
