Single Life Is A Scam!! by Ayamatanga0: 8:03pm On Aug 18, 2022 |
If the horror stories about marriage emanating from the Nairaland front-page lately are anything to go by then you'd honestly feel that the institution called marriage is all doom and gloom, you start asking yourself if it's really worth it anymore....at a point you just might start seeing yourself repping 'team single is bae' or 'team baby mama no drama' , but I'd gladly tell you that contrary to what you read on the front page of the dailies about marriage, it is still a beautiful thing to behold. I had a date scheduled for this evening so I decided to take time out to do a little sight seeing of sorts before my date arrived.... Having settled down with a drink my eyes couldn't stop themselves from wondering around. I caught a glance of two beautiful couples with kids, and just as I was still in awe of them, boom!!! another beautiful couple sauntered in, what got me astonished with this new couple was that though they had two kids already, the wife was visibly pregnant and the man just couldn't help himself pampering her, from the stairwells up to the entrance and even till they sat down,. It was almost as if it was their first date. I saw a few more couples and it was a sight to behold, even when my date arrived I was feeling like the odd one out. Make of it what you will, marriage is a beautiful thing when it's with the right person. Have a good evening everyone! Cc Royalroy , lalasticlala, marpol 12 Likes |

Marriage is good! That does not mean it does not have its ups and down. Marriage isn't for unstable set of people,u have to be mentally,financially and psychologically prepared to be able to face what is in it. If u are a pro in being irresponsible the truth is,ur marriage may not last,if u don't take care of your children,u will also have it tough. In fact,Marriage is a complex institution that that has no basic formula therefore,what works for u will certainly not work for me. Marriage is not a scam take it or leave it but being single till old age is the modern day scam. 14 Likes 1 Share |

If you think marriage will comfort you and make your already difficult life better then you’re about to kill yourself Those pressuring you then will laugh at you, na straight to your grave. I’ve seen many men end up this way. Level up first before thinking of women and children 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Both lives can be frustrating though. There are times you would wish to be single, other times you wish to be married. Its normal. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

For me, it is about marrying for the right reasons or you remain single for the right reasons and if one has chosen to be celibate for religious reasons (Catholic Priests, Reverend Sisters etc), stick to it for the right reasons. 2 Likes |

Persephone1:I don't believe that at all. Marriage is simply not for everyone, much the same as single life is not for everyone. You learn yourself and then you understand the one that fits your best. There are many single folks out there who have never regretted a moment of their choice. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Marriage is not meant for everyone. It's best some people remain single forever. However, if those that marriage is meant for, end up marrying someone right for them and they both married each other for the right reasons, marriage is good to be blissful to them. 6 Likes |

Single life is not scam. However it depends on individuals. If you are not a good team player, marriage might just become a distraction for achieving alot. However, as humans companionship is a great tool if well utilized has lots of advantages. I have realized that everything we do In life is geared towards achieving HAPPINESS. Wether as singles or married, if you're not focused and self motivated, you might end up becoming unhappy. So marriage doesn't guarantee happiness. We have happy couples, we have happy singles and vice versa. Don't just let your happiness revolve around any individual including your spouse. Again you can't judge the character of married couples by mere outlook or disposition in public spaces. Some people are just good actors. Lol. Been married for over 11 years and I can tell you what constitutes a happy marriage- transparency and avoiding unnecessary high expectations of your spouse. There must be misunderstanding , there will be good days, there will be bad days. You will definitely get angry ...lol... The trick is not to allow misunderstanding last too long. Marriage is not for hot tempered people. Finally, just decide what's best for you. Singles have unrestricted opportunities and flexible schedules so it's a great advantage if you make use of time wisely. 18 Likes 10 Shares |

Ayamatanga0: Please, go and sit down. Shey you are already getting the engagements you want na? What else remains? Kids where? I am surprised nobody is coming for your head. Or that you haven't been accused of bitterness or a vileness that comes from a low self-esteem. So you do not love yourself enough to be alone? Say marriage is a scam, third world war will happen on your head. Here's one saying singlehood is a scam now, but the thread is chill. Not your fault sha. Na the grace covering XY people you dey enjoy, because I know you intentionally worded your topic and the OP in a particular way. Yet you're agreeing with everyone that disagrees with you. Continue. I hope you have thought about the consequences of this your post to posterity. Someone, somewhere, you've just helped solidified their resolve into entering a relationship at ALL COST, because apparently, single life bad, all relationships/marriages sweet. *thumbs up*. 10 Likes 6 Shares |

I just knew the reaction would be different if someone had something to say about marriage. The OP knew exactly the reaction he was courting. At some point I wondered if he deliberately did it to expose the double standards. You never know OP I see what you did here Magnoliaa: 5 Likes |
