I am 36+, single, loving it and will love to be single for life, forever. Infact, I have decided to be single forever. Today, I just looked back and I feel so happy, taking this decision 10 years ago during my NYSC.

My life is so clutter free and stress less when compared with those of my married peers. I said this is definitely one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Because my life is so peaceful and predicted. I work only on my business and starting post graduate studies.

I feel I need to celebrate my 10 years taking this decision to stay unmarried and single(MIND YOU I DON'T DO BOYFRIEND - GIRLFRIEND RUBBISH. I BELIEVE ITS A SIN).

In celebrating, I think it good to encourage more young men to embrace this way. Just like Bible says; "He that is able to receive it(singleness), let him receive it"(Matthew 19:12). You can read from verse 10 for better understanding.

You are part of those who read the bible upside down. Even God saw that it was not good 4 a man to stay alone, that was why he made Eve.

Then you going as far as saying being single means u can do n dat, my friend, I bet u with all that I have, by the time boredom go come, u go dey find who u go pay to marry u.

Just think about it.!

Great reasons..
I mean, almost 150 reasons?? You have to be right about your opinion. Not everybody is enticed by the same rhythm of life.

But it takes just one reason to open one's eyes to the fact that every stage of life has its promises of a fresh start; a new beginning; a chance to perfect every wrong thing.

A reason like my boy, Chidiebube. He's just six weeks old, but everytime he looks at me, I know I can do it all. Physically, emotionally and mentally. Absolutely everything necessary.

I like people broken from the chains of indoctrination.. Think for yoursel and make choices. Brb

God bless you.

One thing I hate so much in life is to conform to unnecessary stereotypes that I don't feel comfortable with, just because society expects me to. Naa!!

I thrive on boredom which I call solitude. A lot of my business ideas were drawn during those periods.

After reading your "reasons", I can see why God said it's not good for man to be alone... are you truly happy living such a sad life? It seems to me that this write-up an attempt to make yourself feel better

I want my Rolls Royce Phantom to look at me. By God's grace if my business continue prospering. That's what I plan to reward myself with if I can reach my next milestone of 40years and still unmarried.

God bless you a million fold you made my day today.

You thrive on boredom? Don't you feel lonesome once a while, won't you want to know how it feels to be loved? You don't want to experience that feelings of really being the priority of a lady? I wish I can say more buh I just know how to convince you.


No matter how much you've been hurt that made you decided that being alone is the best. It's just a waste of time. Time will come when your friends will avoiding you self! I hope you are strong 4 dis decision.

It is clearly evident that loneliness wants to murder ur tracks

Yes! I do feel lonesome once in a while, but my internet is coming to my rescue so well. And I have someone I go and talk to during those periods or I go to a public library here and read newspapers. Sometimes I start drawing, like today, I will do some drawings.

Please I wasn't hurt by anyone before I took this decision. I took this decision because I got so tired of women, who in the real sense, can't offer much, always being too full of themselves. Moreover, as an introvert, I hate disturbances, distractions, noise and unnecessary unplanned burden or expenses.

Don't try to convince me. My family even extended ones couldn't. My pastors couldn't.. My boss(the man helping me in business) is trying now but he can't succeed.

Its more rewarding to be single, unique and different. I will love money to love me not a woman.

God bless you for this polite post.

Ritualist! Stop reading the Bible upside down

lol! Where did you get that from? People plan for their burial put out cash for it in the bank and even pay for grave space in advance.

If you want to enjoy singleness then you must dedicate your life and time towards a humanitarian course other wise life will certainly become boring.
