Funny thing is i and some friends had this discussion a few days ago, n my take on the issues is that which ever way love or arrangee (as we call it) still boils down to the same thing    It takes a whole life time to know someone, the ones u've know all ur life that claim they love u n u love them  turn out horrible sometimes  , so wats the hassle , u might aswell dance to anyone that comes ur way!!

When the time is right, I will go back to Naija on my wife hunting trip, nothing will be arranged by my family.

lol did this dude just say wife hunting trip?

Like this is all girls talk, , But let me barged in as one of the million
beneficiaries of an arranged marriage, , i once had love marriage which lasted for a while, But due the nature my job than, on the course chatting one day with a friend at home ( North ) he recommended a lady to me and today we happily married without any major ups and downs, I strongly support it 4u ladies.

Arranged marriage is better and will work on 2 grounds:
1. If thr is compatibility
2. If none of d people concerned is in love with another person.
Love will most def set in later.

Arranged marriage in Africa are Referral service. Even job place have them. Arranged marriage in Africa involve people Refering you to others. People who trust you and believe in you. Not everybody get Arranged marriage. When you find a woman , who could not get married either by love marriage and Arranged marriage in Africa , you know the person must be bad.

People don’t do Arranged marriage for women or men who are bad. It is only the good one that they do for. Even in Yorubaland. The first wife of a man is allowed to look for a wife for his husband and marry her to his husband. Older Yoruba women do it. They look for a younger wife for their husband or sometime when they can not have children, the man first wife goes out to look for a new wife for her husband.

Yar Adua married his children out, just of late.

love marraige is the obvious choice because as they say, the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. marrying somebody you know nothing about is like jumping into an ocean, you don't know what to expect or what is at the bbottom. it's a dangerous risk and some ppl ened up marrying serial killers and such. x

I have a girl and am planning to get married to her. she was introduced to me by my aunt. I did the rest myself by toasting her and following up the rest myself.
