Divorce On The Rise In Nigeria: Why? by Damoche10: 1:46pm On Nov 26, 2007
Nairalanders,

I seek you candid and precise opinion why the number to divorce cases in our
country is on the rise. Go to our customary courts today and be amazed by the
number of married people dragging themselves to court to have their marrriage
dissolved. Can we all discuss about this so as to learn from the reason why this
is happening ? Are we now copying the whites(Oyinbo)?,

You don't know for sure that it's on the rise. You're just assuming. If it's on the rise, it's because of enlightenment.
Re: Divorce On The Rise In Nigeria: Why? by Allyrose: 2:09pm On Nov 26, 2007
It is true that divorce is on the rise but certainly not because of enlightenment.
Unfortunately the world has become so fast paced that all most people want now is money or how to make money. so love and the real virtues of marriage are now second place. But if you really think about it, marriage isn't so easy and most of us especially this generation aren't that patient. So in case you r thinking of marrying anytime soon do it for love and i asssure u , u wont b running to any court. cheers! and goodluck smiley

Because women are getting smarter. Enough to realize that you can always survive without taking the abuses of a destructive marriage. Most women work too and have tasted independence and how pleasurable it is to "sleep" in your own bed without some blaring trumpeter serenading your ear drums every night.

No more "I am a full time house wife" crap! kiss

Yipppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Re: Divorce On The Rise In Nigeria: Why? by blueband(m): 11:22am On Nov 27, 2007
The reason why divorce is on the rise in Nigeria is multi-factoral.In my opinion

1.People marry for the wrong reasons.I think only love and true friendship should matter.

2.In the past instead of divorcing a woman,a man could easily just marry another wife and another and another.My grand father had 4 wives

3.With many people becoming exposed to western ideas and cultures we tend to think we can import these values into our own marriages as well.

4.Maybe monogamy is still alien to us.Religion(especially christianity) introduced monogamy into the Nigerian culture.You will see that divorce tends to be more amongst christians.The reasons are not far fetched.You can't marry another wife so why remain stuck in an unhappy marriage?

I am sure there are more reasons why people divorce .

That's a smart one.
When people talk about independence and all that it pisses me off, for christs sake, stay single if you don't want any stress. The last time I checked there is no law against being single anywhere in the world.

These so called Nigerians are copying the white people cultures

Sometimes I wonder if parents every think about the children’s future or the repercussion of getting divorce

Why say "I do", if you know damn well you can't stay in that marriage, I thought people get marry for better or worse, but no oh, these so called Nigerians women of nowadays are on another mission, all they want is money, greedy people

Some people excuses are his cheating or abusive, but you knew damn well that was who he was when he asked you to marry him in the first place, but some woman have these mentality a man will change after getting married, to be a new leaf

Am 100% against people getting divorce

Heyyyyyyyy Alomondjoy


White people loves to be stressful, and don't want to be bothered with unnecessary things, they don't have the strength and patience like the "Real Nigerians" do. That is why whenever anything goes wrong in their marriage, they find a shortcut out of it by heading to the divorce court,see that is why they won't settle or agree to a polygamy

And back in the days a real woman will stay and try to work out things with her husband, no chicken her way out the marriage.

@Frankies and Admondjoy
i love the chitchat between you two!!!Gives the forum some spice and flavour!!!!! grin

Anyways, i have a couple of reasons why the divorce and seperation rate are at an increase:

1. Both party are not as patient as our parent generation were.
2. Marriage for the wrong reasons.
3. Lack of respect and devotion.
4.Most marrying couples dont consider their marrital vows as a convenant spoken before God and man, and just say the words for saying sake; some married couples even remix the vows and skip the part of , for worse, in sickness and till death do us part, !
5.Couples do not have time for themselves, their relationship or time to build on their love.they feel exchanging the vows is the zenith of life.
6.Refusal to learn new things in the institution of marriage.

But everything as to do with EGO, PRIDE , ARROGANCE, STUPIDITY and LACK OF FAITH.

Please keep typing your rubbish so we can keep entertaining Narialand! As terrible as the marriage is, it has not hit "Divorce Courts" yet!

Dan-dau-du! cheesy  Your annoyance can shoot up your leaking AIDS-infected rectum like a meteor and you can explode in front of your village square in Gboko for all I care!  Who gives a damn about what you feel? undecided  You piece of smelly ghetto thrash!

You are very stupid!  Now I have to wait till after the winter for my "humiliation package"?  Like you have winter in your Gboko farm over there!  Idiot!  I see you can now use "quotation functions" almost perfectly now on Nairaland.  Well how about that--for I am impressed.  DUNCE!

Re: Divorce On The Rise In Nigeria: Why? by maakano(m): 4:27pm On Nov 28, 2007
There are some reasons that can be adjudged for divorce increase in Nigeria

1. Women libration campaign is encouraging separation.
2. Religion also is contributing to it "one man one wife" so instead of marrying another wife as a remedy men consider divorce as the only solution.
3. There are many ladies around so it is easy for men to get one as wife without much stress unlike in the past that they have to labour for years b4
getting one.
4. Lack of fear of God, most people don't fear God while taking decisions especially women after eating the man's money they want to quit
