No such thing as "love."

People just need to learn how to be more accomodating.

I also think that "relationship things" have become soo casual, that even MEN would rather remain single than marry.

Why marry when you can sleep with anyone you want, and go out with anyone you want,  ( i think most people are generation want freedom, so do not want to accomodate one another.)

My dear they should marry the next avaliable guy they find o! On like men, women have a faster expiration date. When once those wrinkles start showing, their market value drops like the price of bad stock on the stock exchange. Men can afford to go on till the age of 40 and still be marketable. This whole love thing is way over-rated. No prince will come riding on a white horse from far far away. It's either you grab the one which you have now or wait for the second coming.

I totally agree.

Sometimes, people make decisions out of circumstance vs. outta love.

@  ikamefa

I dón't think that its desperation, it probably more of pressure from family members, embarassment that other friends are getting married and they're not and such. Time is passing them by now.

No, not grab the some mumu, (hopefully, she will choose wisely) but maybe may have to lower her standards and compromise on some things, and not have the same standards, and illusions she did when she was younger.

No, we dont all have to marry. And I don't really believe in marriage.

But I think that Nigerian girls are raised up to think that thier life is never complete without a MAN.

No matter the education or money a girl has. She is not complete without a man.

Theres a Niger gal I went to skool with. Went to skool in switzerland, bachelors in the US, got accepted to a prestigious law school and didn't go to school but went back home to Niger to marry an Alhaji.  She quite young but I'm sure that matters more to her and her parents than anything else or any education she's recieved.

Actually I think she's pregnant now,  But I think its Niger mentality,  women are nothing without men. So marriage becomes very important and life fulling for most women.

@ 4 Him: no one is stating that marriage is not important.

I just think that Nigerian parents should not raise thier daughters to think that thier life is unimportant, unfufilling, just because they're not married or don't have a man.

Most women are smart, brilliant, and yes not all are pretty, not all can give birth.

Yes, Marriage has its own purpose. And with that law of supply and demand, not everyone is supposed to be married. Not enough men to go around anyways and theres enough competition BUT women's life is much more important than for it to be defined by whether they have a man or not.

you're getting it mixed up. The average nigerian family raise their daughters to be independent, smart women first but do not fail to remind them that marriage is equally important. Are you trying to tell us that married women were raised to see their lives as unimportant and unfulfilling? ARe you saying women who are married with kids are not smart?

If you dont like marriage good, stop trying to make excuses why u think everyone else should toe your line. Marriage is the best thing 2 people can share.

Thats why they spend so much money rasing you. To grow up and get married and settle down and and have a family an Identity, a life.

That is secondary. Get a man first. The rest will be added in due course.

Sweetheart, this is africa. A woman without a husband, no get say for community o!! You may be God, but if you are not "in husband house", my dear nothing for you. I dont know for how long you've been abroad, but I believe you should stop watching Oprah, shes fcuking your mind up. I family without a child (esp. a male child) in africa is not complete, A woman without a husband is not complete, A man without a wife?? It doesnt matter.
