Nl folks, pls your opinions are needed.
I'm currently 31, earning reasonably well and with greater prospects for the future.

The pressure to settle down is getting stronger by the day. However, I don't consider myself psychically fit for marriage in the midst of the deterioration that the marriage Institution is experiencing.

Judging by my current perspective and disposition on the subject of marriage, I don't see myself setting down even in the next 5years. I try to carefully look at the pros and cons of contracting a marriage in today's world and I always come to the conclusion that there are more cons than pros.

I'm also not a very family oriented person in the sense of creating familial bonds and deeply cherishing them hence I derive my fulfillment and pleasure in doing the things I love to do, acquiring wealth and giving help wherever I deem necessary.

The thought of opting for an adoption is beginning to occupy the greater part of my consciousness and the reasons are few and in my opinion very valid.

1. Progeny is very important in social arrangements especially in the Igbo society. I'll definitely be needing someone to carry on the family's name and legacy when I'm no more.

2. If my perspective on marriage changes for any reason and I decide to take the step towards contracting one, I may have become a little too old then to handle the perculiates of marriage and family life( parenting, school runs issues etc). But with a child already in picture and almost a teenager by then, that part of the problem would have been kicked out..

Nb:As for raising the adopted child, myself, parents, siblings and a helper will be involved while financial responsibility will be exclusively mine.

Kindly help me with insightful and mature advice that is based on direct or third party experience.


It's essential to prioritize your personal well-being and fulfillment. If marriage doesn't align with your current values and lifestyle, consider focusing on your passions, career, and personal growth. Adoption is a thoughtful option for preserving familial ties while allowing flexibility in your life choices. Keep exploring what brings you happiness and purpose.

This is on point. The OP should read this again and again. This is clearly speaking to him but he needs wisdom to understand it.
TimiRume:
What you are looking for is companionship not a progeny(you just don't know what it is yet) Yes you are aware of a gap but you are mistaking it for something else.

If you dig deeper, you will see a crave for a female partner. And when you dig even further down the root, you will see something unclear, undefined, impossible to grasp by you but if light should prick your heart, you will see your creator's arms wide opened.

He wants it and frankly, I don’t think there’s a situation here that dissuades him from raising a child.
He has the finance and sounds like someone who’s very honest with his sensations. At least he understands that he’s not going to be in a sexual relationship with anyone in the near future.
This man seem more ready to have a child than so many couples today.

That man is a gay . Why you guys ain't detecting this baffles me alot

Oga are you sure you are talking about getting a human being or getting a teddy bear or a dog?
You sound like your money would get you anything in life including buying a human being just to satisfy your own selfish desires to the detriment of the child's emotions, care, love, joy, happiness and other human feelings

I'd suggest you get a surrogate.
This will serve two purposes; progenitor and biological identity for the future.

So you think unmarried people do not have sex with their opposite gender.
He simply isn’t planning to get married because he doesn’t want to deal with women crap, not because he doesn’t want to have sex with women.
FYI, study have showed that most unmarried men have sex more than married men.

Nonsense.
Yes everyone is craving for companion. But nowadays, most men don’t trust the company of a wife because it can end up being a disaster.
I’m on the OPs side on this one.
A child can also be a companion too. The parenting venture can very well be accompanying.

Methinks the Op is trying to dance around why he's not inclined to marriage. His reasons are as vague as the meaning of the word. Just simply tell us that yours is a complicated life and that the thought of living a pretentious life with someone you ain't attracted to all in the guise of marriage seem awkward to you hence your decision to pursue adoption. With adoption, you feel your attraction to people of same gender is completely going to be overlooked. This is your primary and secondary reason. You can't fool everyone here as more discerning men like me already know that you're GAY!

If you have money, pay for a surrogate. You can adopt when older. You should father your own child. Makes it worth it.

I'm not saying the idea of adopting a child is bad or terrible but, since when has impregnating a woman become so hard??

do you have a medical history that suggests you cannot recreate?? Why not make your own baby and let he/she grow with your mother since you claim you're not family oriented
.

You can even impregnate a woman, make your own baby and still adopt a child if you so wish or crave to adopt. But the idea of not having a child to carry your own blood doesn't sound right to me. If there's a medical history that's hindering you from making your own child, it's better you say it for clarity sake

Look at the picture attached below,👇👇 Don't you crave moments like that in your life?? undecided
African mentality at its best. People now prefer to adopt, and it's gaining a global acceptance.

SINGLE MAN?
ADOPT?
IN NIGERIA?!

Not all ladies want to marry. Marriage is not by force. You might as well "marry" the lady traditionally that's by meeting their people and letting them know she's with someone. This is recognised but not rites are not complete. It's like what the foreigners call civil union.
You don't even need to live full time with the person and this solves the guilt, shame of just baby mama.
This is a traditional contract, no legal registration etc.

Hello...
I am interested in being an unorthodox traditional surrogate.
This means that I would perform the services of providing my egg for the formation of the foetus, use my womb for the gestation of the foetus for 9 months, birth the child, breastfeed the child/children, take care of the baby or babies, train and raise them with the motherly love that they deserve since you said you are incapable of doing that.
I require just some things which include; A contract marriage and series of test to affirm our health status and eligibility to have children in order to have authentic information towards this course.
I am a 29 years old Virgin who has been daydreaming of giving my virginity to a man who loves and cherishes me, but that hasn't happened yet.
I am willing to pour all the love I have in raising the children.
I'll be willing to include my virginity in the package for natural insemination.
We could include a virginity test in the series of tests we would do before signing the contract.
You would not be required to pay any bride price. Whatever Bride Price my people requests from you would be deducted from the money you would pay me.

The major fee for this service would be 50,000 dollars which covers Raw S*x or Natural Insemination, Conception, Gestation of the Child or Children, Child birth, Breastfeeding, Childcare and Child training.
The side fee would be 1,000 dollars as soon as we meet and and start up the processes.
You would have to sign a contract stating that you'll be responsible for the provision of these children from their birth till they are old enough.
Please let me know if you are interested, thank you.

P.S.: Just incase the Op is not interested in my offer and there's someone else who is interested in this offer, kindly indicate interest, thank you.

Although my type of surrogacy does not say I am giving up my baby, that's why there's "Unorthodox" there; however I respect your decision.
