Hello NLanders,
I just finished my Masters not too long ago and my dad helped resecured my job in one of the 24 banks in the country. However, I got my greatest shocker from him .
I am single and still searching but he has given me a mandate to introduce my fiancee not later than next Val's day as he claimed he has done what is expected of a responsible father and I should now act as a responsible son. To make matters worse, he is now comparing me with my younger brother who just started his masters and is planning is planning getting married once he comes back.
I am still new in the game as I was exposed during my MSc days and can't thank my friends enough for this. However, I have not really found my dream girl as the girls I meet are those who want me because I want them and we are busy giving ourselves nice times. I believe my dad is failing to understand that I just started enjoying life and it will be most advisable I enjoy it to the fullest before getting married.
I am thinking of moving out of the house because he has offered me our 2 bedroom BQ ever since I came back but would that free me from his ultimatum?

As far as the Ego/owo dey to cater for both of you, just fight a desperate battle and get one babe is not all that hard if you focus.
But Man, don't make mistake if you can find one, just tell your daddy to give you sometime.

You can only marry when you find your "missing rib".

Seriously, what's with all these parents? Marry marry as if it's a damn piece o' cheesecake. Tell the man he go wait tire.

My parents dare not.

The last i saw this, was in a movie and it backfired

Talk to him to give you more time and see reasons why you have to be careful about this marriage thing.

Going out of his comfort at this time because of this issue is a slap on the contribution he has made for you to be where you are today. So please respect him and talk to him like a father and i am sure he will understand.

It's not dat I can't talk to him but U shd understand dat our parents blive dey have d final say. He usually claims I have all it takes to find myself a wife n doesn't want to blive dat it's rily not yet my time. I am convinced y he is getting too serious about al dis is because of my younger broda who wants to get married after his Masters. He is d gud boy who is loyal n is responsible unlike me who after my education isn't settling down yet.
Gues, I wil have to run to UK since they neva bodad getting back my British passport from me ever since I came back in September and den come back wen I am ready. This is because I know dey wil surely cal for me once I abscond.

ooouuucccchhhhh that was below the belt.

Yeah below but it is relevant because i am also shocked by that statement, i know he his a daddy's boy thats why i gave him that advice. I also considered that they were his sponsors unlike some of us who sponsored ourselves.

But the truth still remains that he has to call the shots right now or else they will even poke nose into his married life, the signs are just self evident in the way he is writting here.

You cld have a point there.
I think the guy is just using style to find woman for nairaland for fun. . . . sorry dont blv that kinda things still happens.

chaircover:

The poster does sound rather immature; no insult meant. . . . . Sorry cant think of a better word to describe him.

The fact that his parents are still manipulating him shows that he is not ready to be a husband yet, which he has also rightly acknowledged & I respect him for that.

If your parents have strong & health hearts & can take the shock, just tell them that you are gay. That will keep them off your back for a few months until you have matured a little more in the relationship department.

To hold a wedding is very easy but to sustain a marriage is a lot harder

Me no dey for that one oh.

Is this the latest excuse?

^^^ Lol

I see the point. But I don't think he needs to tell a lie to his pushy parents.
Suggestion: Better find a job and try to stand on his own feet first before making any commitment.

And i am sure there would be enuf of those in Nija

Where is the poster?

Convincing his parents to let him "have fun"
