This is a strong case against polygamy since many of them tell us there are more females than males.
That is a lie from the pit of hell.
The world facts tell us there are more males than females in the world.
Infact in virtually all Muslim countries eg Iran,Iraq,Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,Oman,Afghanistan,Egypt,Kuwait where polygamy runs rampant than in most other nations, there are more males that females ,[/b]some with very significant margins.
A country like Quatar has a 2:1 male /female ratio.

[b]Nigeria has more males than females too.
Now you know that what you've been fed all along are all lies,lies and more lies.
Check out the facts for yourselves.

_{why did you edit}

Or maybe y'all won't be as damning towards men as in previous years, considering there's a surplus of men for you to work with

Lmao! I'm sorry, I'm trying to behave myself.

Peeps are watching me,

Before I saw this research,I always doubted the popular opinion of shortage of men.
Any average looking gal can tell you she has at least 4-5 serious chasers at every point in her life.
Where then is the shortage?

Nah, now we won't even bother wasting our emotions (which includes damning) on 'em, since they dime a dozen. You misbehave and you are outta the game baby!!

Who's your daddy now?

ME of course. I'm still the daddy. It is you who complain of a shortage of good men, so if you manage to find that needle in the haystack you better act right and beg him to put a ring on it.

I fail to understand that too. I have always felt the scarcity of women for sure. Most women I try toasting are already sprung to some man.

LOL I heard this report somewhere too.

I've also always doubted the scarcity of men talk. scarcity for where?? Now, it's confirmed.

I hope so. I've always wanted 3 husbands who'd spend on me.

What a life

I main husband,the breadwinner and 2 spares

@sisi jinx et al
its not the quantity its the quality. . .*dancing* i always wanted to say that to someone!

that's what i said. there's a surplus of men but a shortage of good men.

@C2H5OH
dont mind women jare

@thread
in short i have vexed and removed myself from the market, now there is one less eligible male. . .there!

but women always seem to outnumber the men for some reason. maybe the age barcket. u kno especially in those countries u mention, girls can marry from age 13 so when u think abt that, female population seem very abundant compared to marriageable aged males.

Isn't that a shame?

I read it somewhere, from a document, that claims that it has to do with the biafra war.
Men were the victim, many sent to battle. Leads to women being more populated then men, men were then expected to marry more than one woman. Leads to polygamy

that info is false o. . .in naija i know for certain that as at 2 years ago the numbers were equal according to official statistics(i'm too lazy to look for any official numbers as evidence thats why i didnt bring it up until now)

women die in childbirth here. . .that prolly counts as something

Then the info would be correct concerning Polygamy, but not the recent Gender population of Nigeria

stillwater:

Isn't that a shame?

Yes it's a shame. It's also a shame that most women know this but choose to submit themselves to substandard men, instead of toughing it out and waiting until the better men come along.

YIPPIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
i guess this means i can now accept all TOLA'z gifts, the return ticket to abuja from MUSA and still kip my baby'z (IFEANYI) ring

@ sissy

There is certainly shortage of female especially in some parts of the North. If you really want to marry someone from your town, you have to book early. I have known ppl that have to book a girl as young as 11 for marriage. Last time I went home, specifically to start wife hunting, I had rough time. The only free girls (among the marriageble ones) are below 15 and mostly in Secondary Schools. All the girls are booked. Infact it is common to for a girl to have more than one suitor at the same time. And all of them given time to proof their love. Some girls give men time table. You come tomorrow, the next day another guy will come. Or u will come 8 - 9pm, and another guy will be waiting for you by quater to 9, so that his time will start 9 - 10pm. Looking for a wife in the north is terrible.

Yeah, in a polygamous culture, women are bound to be scarce.

in those countries peple marry off girls very young and the get pregnant before thier bodies can handle it and die durring chidbirth. saw a documentary by BBC on the housa. the reportr asked how mny of the men had a wife or daughter die in childbirth and every man raised his hand.

OK, a girl has about five chasers? Just how many of those five chasers are the real deal?

And how many of the women they are chasing are the real wife materials? It works both ways man.

The headline is misleading. It's mainly the result of the undercounting of women in censuses conducted in most Muslim areas.

The only places you will get men outnumbering women are places like India and China where family planning policies has led to more abortion of female foetuses.

Wow,now i have some materials to work with.'Men'!

Very true. Its been projected that a girl will have about 15 boys to herself in 10 years time.
But I still find it difficult to understand why ladies from these places would first ask you for marriage before you even have a date with them. Most of them consider it a jackpot to have a man who has an interest in them, not to talk of proposing to them.

So curious.
