Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by Nobody: 6:28pm On Oct 27, 2011
Interestingly myself and two of my senior female colleagues at work discussed this issue today at work. they were like im the only eligible bachelor around and they felt i should pray.

I simply said I may not need to do that cos i already said according to Psalm 27 that 'may the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Gods sight.

I only need to choose.

ATLGAL are u married or single?

The irony of it is that anytime there is altar call in any church in Lagos for those looking for life partner, the population of women is always higher. How come? Or is it that all our men are in the villa?

E,
Men get to choose if they want to marry the guy. Girls get to choose if they want to date. So women get the upper hand first but later men do. See Toba's response.

[maybe you should take Toba to your church

Almost all the churches in Lagos i have visited have the same thingooo. Let Toba just stroll to any church in his area if he resides in Lagos and secondly if he is not a Hindus. Before 3 services pastor must make an altar call for people praying for husband he will be shock of high number of ladies that will respond.

Bros, is not that we are making jest of ladies but we are amazed of the Figure of population that was just released and the thing happening around us. YH God will definately answer their prayer. I do pray with and for them

thank you. wink
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by Blackteeth(m): 9:42am On Oct 28, 2011
l don't believe there are more men than women because more men die everyday in the military, police, risky jobs and robbery cases which are all male dominated. But whatever kills women also kills an equal number of males too. e.g diseases and natural disasters. Besides more men jet out of the country in search of a better life. At birth it's 50-50 chance of giving birth to a male or female, meaning an equal number of males and females are born.

Well, we have so many single ladies these days, so maybe this statistic is true.
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by randyorton: 9:58am On Oct 28, 2011
[size=18pt]ratio of men to women is 1: 4. [/size]
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by Nobody: 10:19am On Oct 28, 2011
If you want to see where the guys are hiding,

PHC - Go to Ikoku, Bush Bars, Rigs

Lagos - Computer Village, Bush Bars, Behind Computers grin

Abuja - Biz Centers, Bush bars

All of dem huzzling.

Ladies hide mostly these days in Churches, wedding receptions.

So I would say Make ur choice grin grin

Bros why are u doubting them? probably you are using the Lagos situation to judge. Have u gone to the bush bar and the villages to check the ratio
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by randyorton: 11:41am On Oct 28, 2011
[size=18pt]the truth is dat there are very few men for women to marry from. fact[/size]
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by gascoign1(m): 11:42am On Oct 28, 2011
On the contrary poster, there are more more women than men,and that explains why a man can marry as much wives as he can,besides go check birth rate, there are more female babies than male,

Well, i am yet to accept that because i know there are many guys that are not married due to economic hardship while their female counter part have stop bearing babies. I have opportunity of visiting one village in Edo state where there were very very few babes but plenty guys hustling for the few babes. the competition there was high. i feel women easily move to cities than men. The number of men in interior villa is far higher than that of women in those area
Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by nnwniger: 12:29pm On Oct 28, 2011
One must be so uninformed and naivete to believe such infomation from NPC. The fact is that there're much more women in that your Corrupt country than men. There're No accurate statistics in Nigeria. Your government is one of the most corrupt in the world, period
