You don't expect a guy of legal means and income to be able to build:

1- A community borehole,
2- Buy 2 cars for the bride's parents,
3-Build a community primary and secondary school(all which are part of the bride price)
before the age of 35...do you?... So that's why they marry late and that that's why if you take a census of the number of Single ladies in Nigeria as opposed to other tribes.. . Igbo ladies rank in first.

Do not generalize dear...I'm IMO born based in ph, 25 years and believe me, if i make some money that can sustain my wife(because i don't want my wife to suffer) I will marry next year

I have discovered that Ibo guys marry much later than thier counterparts of other tribes in Naija. Take for instance an average Hausa Man gets married very early even as a teenager. At 25 a Yoruba guy is already considering settling down and something similar applies to other tribes except the Ibos. At 35 Ikechukwu is happily single ; still posting Chioma his girlfriend. This trend has in turn affected their ladies. Why not? They must wait for Obinna to propose nah. Little wonder some of them has 'menopausal' marriages. Why is this a peculiar trend for Ibo men? Any benefits?

Not necessarily true....I know of three Igbo guys who were married before they hit 30 years old.(Even met an Igbo guy married in his early 20's).

I also know of guys from other tribes who waited a bit before getting married.! grin

Marrying late sometimes is not about tribe...it is about being ready to fund a family.....as some have said here.(And if you have treated malnourished kids...like I have....you would see why!)

Even if the igbo guys marries late, they completely take care of their wife unlike the yorubas who doesn't even care if their wife dey chop. All they want is that name "married "and to hell with you woman,that is why in their culture adultery is allowed, because why? They are too lazy to work always looking for trouble and having no single strength to fight. The hausas, they love to marry thousands of women even when they can't be able to care for them, na lawlessness dey kill them. Which is better to marry someone appropriately or to just impregnate person carry am enter house, marriage don start...?! See dem, see dem mouth...
una too like problem... wat do u mean by dz ur post, don't u know it's insulting... y re u trying to start a fight here...

Face the fact, how many Nigerians can start a home at 25. Give kudos to we the igbos. We don't wait for our parents to get us wives to live in their homes like other tribes do. We have pride and as such we work hard to live the kind of lives we want. We value our wives. We don't want to get married and send them to hawk.
