Fact remains, once you’re 30 and not married, your chances become slim and guys will only see you as unserious person when it comes to relationship, you may be successful career wise but when it comes to relationship, you’re unserious
Not that guys will see you, they are very unmarriable set of individuals looking for highest bidders and having high taste. Try an approach a woman who makes her own money and less than 30 years, she will be so rude and stupid at the same time

[quote author=AmyNwa10 post=125194532]It's for this very reason; the dear of being unmarried at 30 as a lady that has pushed a lot of women to ending up with any man just to be tagged, "she married early."

The men aren't even helping, since they have a knack for calling >30 unmarried ladies derogatory names such as evening newspaper.
We'll just marry anyhow to avoid all of that. [https://loveonet.com/5-strategic-ways-to-handle-a-cheating-partner/ ]

DO Jiji ADS WORK for gadgets like phones and laptops?

Is the VIP advert package worth paying for on Jiji?

Affirmative! They do work. You don't even really need the VIP Package most times. I personally use the free package and I get buyers for my stuffs. But if you're looking at selling faster, especially if you own a shop for the items and want to attract potential customers... I think it's advisable.

Facebook Marketplace is another good alternative

A lot of ladies are scared of 30. What's really wrong with 30? Why so dreadful with the age, after all it's just a number!!! Even with a lot of accomplishments, being 30 and single can be so pressurizing among out ladies, owing to the pressures from families and society to get married. Sometimes, this pressure sums up the reason why majority delve into an unfruitful marriage.

/
Any lady with an iota of common sense knows that marrying below 30 is the best decision considering that nature is at play. Geriatric pregnancy and consequent risks are real. It ain't got nothing to do with societal pressure. People should be able to look in the mirror beyond all the noise and tell themselves the truth. Facts don't care about feelings.

God knows that I can never marry any lady above 25yrs. I'll rather remain single than marry one evening newspaper who'll still have same expectations from me as a younger girl would.

is 30 a death sentence?

At 29, a lot single ladies begins to deliberate whether or not to celebrate their next birthday.
At 29, a lot of ladies begins to age backwards, with a skeptical feelings on whether to reveal their real age or conceal it.

I"ll be 30 by next month, year, week. Yet no marriage, children or money. And so what Is 30 a death sentence?

I"ll be 30 by next month, yet without any accomplishment, and so what Does life suddenly stops at 30?

Why is 30 such a scary age to most folks? Is it a general perception or just a fear of uncertainty.

Some men will go as far as trying to scare you with statements like "I will never marry, a lady at 30 and more. is 30 really that bad?

The earlier we understand that life is like a script, and to each his/ her own unique story with diverse time. The better and peaceful our mind gets to be.

Age is not a determinant of successful marriage.
You can still get it right @30.
Your successful story can still begin @30.

The right man can still show up@30.

At 30+, some ladies got married to their heartthrob, gave birth, got a new connection and job.

There's no time factor in life. Just do your best, focus on developing yourself, character, and personalities.

When you dwell so much on your burdens, they will linger. But when you keep your mind off it, and focus on self empowerment while living it up to God and fate. It will show up at the time you least expected.

I'm 29, malebof northern extraction. In a few months to come I'll clock 30. I'm working and have already started dating someone in hopes of tying the knot very soon. Marriage is my most pressing objective now. Nothing is more important.

For a lady of this age - 30, I pray you find love and settle down soonest.

Life's not only about having a career. Having a family is relatively more important.
My opinion

I see you're a Northern Christian. Well, the concept of how you guys see marriage is very different from how Christians in the south see it.

I'm genuinely curious though, what is it like marrying a Christian from Northern Nigeria (Adamawa, Gombe, Plateau, Kaduna etc) as a Yoruba or Igbo man?

Honestly, I just finished discussing with my mom about the same issue only to see a similar topic on Nairaland. When I was in Nigeria, nobody mention marriage o. When I don comot, "try to marry early" 🙄

At 30, hardly you see a girl who uses condom...

Especially when the guy is single, had a car and his rented apartment... their intentions is to get pregnant...while the guy is busy cumming inside thinking she will take contraceptive, she will be busy with pregnancy test kit every morning

In that case, you as the man should use condom if you don't plan on getting married. Why are you not advising the men to use condom?

The pressure now is self induced and maybe from your parents and siblings.

Society no send anyone again. If you like be 60 and single, na fuel and dollar be everybody wahala now.

Exactly, the pressure is most from family and friends.Na women wey no dey independent i pity pass.

Any woman that is independent will not have that pressure because she can easily find a man that serve as a surrogate. Once you have one child as a single mother, that pressure will never be there.

It means you are under society pressure, it is like a demonic attack, its women that will attack you the most, they are always the one most available to the devil.
These are the attacks
1: If you are single guy above 30 they will know, because you will look far much younger than your age, handsome, at peace and clean.
2 They will start coming close to you even married women, you will think this is friendship but they are trying to find out your age, they are looking at your body for a sign that you are above 30, signs like, small bald hair, wrinkles on forehead or gray hair on your beards, once they see any of these.
3: The attack, they will start putting sir in their greeting even though they are older than youu(Good morning sir, how your family) , this is not out of respect but they are looking for a way to tell you that you are old enough for marriage.
4: They will gossip about you
5: You will hear birthday songs often in your neighborhood, even in the church, again the song is to tell you that you are old.
6: They will send their children to play in your compound.

Solution
Become harsh and intolerable.

Lol... I support early marriage as a way to curb the reckless high-risk sex, mental breakdown/heart breaks, and financial recklessness that come with being single (conservatism).

But I also align with the realist position: everyone's journey is unique. As a matter of fact, many people will not be married in their life time. And it's absolutely OK.
