you better not copy the western people on this. Their government have made provisions to cater for the old (old people's home). Here in Nigeria, the only hope for old people is their immediate family (children and grand children).
If u try that here, suffer na your own when u don old undecided

Happiness comes from WITHIN.
Others around you may or may not make you happy.

If you are a miserable soul, no one can make you happy. If you are a happy soul, NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU SAD.

You were born alone, YOU WILL DIE ALONE. kiss

Your happiness is IN YOUR HANDS ONLY!
Never give any one the power over YOUR HAPPINESS!

I speak from example.
MYSELF. cool

I don't care WHO is in my life. I ALONE can make myself happy. Single o, married o, children o, no children o. . . . I HAVE MY OWN LIFE TO LIVE, separate from ALL OF THEM. kiss

How will it feel ? The truth is that sooner or later all your kids will still leave you to set up their own families and will only show up for short visits

Happiness is relative. Different folks find happiness in different things. As for me o, I find happiness in sharing my world with loving eyes and arms. I can't be single to do that. I'm cat...a cuddle cat. I love hugging babies, children and adults. I wanna have my own set of cuddle team...my Loves for life!

You just took me back to the days of Westlife...everybody is looking for that something. Find your something dude.

Its highly impossible. The reason is simple, human are social animal meaning that we cannot survive without being around people. Human are easily bored especially when u live alone. Living alone is dangerous cos u can develop illness at any time and when there is no one to call, u are as good as dead. Majority of people that live alone surfer in silence, they are never happy either because they are not married or childless. Living alone also has psychological effects causing the person to be a saddist, get upset easily or over thinking.

In the developed countries where old people live alone, they usually die of depression. That is why they have old people home where they can interact with their fellow mate and live a longer life. In places like Nigeria, u will discover that they are the nicest of people, this is because they want to lure people around them and always have someone to chat with. That is why they prefer to live in the village where they have friends than to live in the city where their children will leave them at home doing nothing and nobody to interact with.

In case u are planning to do that its never the best thing to do. You might enjoy it when u are still young but the moment u reach ur forties expect something different.

Yeah Cameroon is make up of English and French cuz we were colonised by the French and Bristish but as u rightly said French is the majority. It's not easy for Anglophone especially when go to Yaounde (the capital) or any other french speaking region. Every thing is in french. Almost all the states universities teaches in french. So all these affects us like seriously

If you love yourself or get good partner, your mind would change. Cos kids allow you see yourself when you're young.

Can you be single, childless & happy? smiley

absolutely! a lot of ppl's problems in life stem from marital issues and responsibility that comes with parenting. not everyone is maternal/paternal, some ppl struggle to cope on their own let alone compound issues by bringing in more ppl, not everyone is meant to marry, some cant commit, some prefer to be reclusive and hate having ppl in their personal space.
marriage and parenthood are choices, they're not compulsory at all. many ppl are out there living very happy fulfilled lives, single and childless by choice and they wont have it any other way.

Every one must define for themselves what the meaning of happiness is.

Happiness is fulfillment, the one cannot be obtained without the other.

If a person according to the dictates of their heart decides that childlessness or perpetual singleness is the way to go, who are we to judge?

If being married with children is a necessity for life happiness, what can we say about widow/ers, or people who are biologically incapable of reproduction, are they then doomed to forever be unhappy? Certainly not!

Jesus, Paul, Oprah Winfrey, Isaac Newton, are examples of people who lived what we may consider to be happy and fulfilling lives, but were never married, on the other hand Maria Curie, J. F. Kennedy, Prophet Muhammad, etc. did, and they left their legacies.

Happiness is personal, even more so it is internal. Please do not let anyone or society impose their definition of happiness upon you .

Should you seek happiness by following public opinion, therein will you find your deepest unhappiness and waste your years in regret.

Above all, know thyself
Jesus got married to Mary Magdalene and they had kids

Are there people that are married with their kids and happy? Yes!. Unhappy nko? There are.

Are there people that are single, childless and happy? Yes!. Unhappy nko? There are.
I believe you are a grown man.
I would advice you to first understand what having a "FAMILY of your own" is (the things it brings over time- both short term n Long term). If you understand it and decide to sacrifice /forgo it. Then I believe it's for a higher cause and you've understood it well enough to take it up. Because if you concluded now because you are considering some Emotional stress you are having entering or maintaining a relationship. You might regret it in later years. If you feel you don't understand well enough about how this issue of Life partner, marriage or Family works speak to an elder, if you are religious check the pages of your scriptures (I think virtually all religions talks about it).. Above all it is who you let into your life and how the relationship is managed/results produced by both parties that determines the Joy in it.(there is no point in being the only happy one in a relationship.. it's an unhealthy relationship ) .
Definitely there are single n Childless yet happy individuals. but understand what it entails before embarking on such journey. (#Timely discovery)
You spoke about Adoption in one of your comments (any one that does adopt a child means he/she needs the presence of one), so I see it's not the child part that is really of problem to you.. It's the relationship with a partner.. Talk to your Dad / Male Guardian.

Well it all depends,, yes you can but no matter what you will always worry over not getting married and having kids.

I am also thinking of this possibility at the moment, all this divorce and marriage saga is very discouraging; no one is loyal any more, well i have nieces and nephews i guess thats enough, planing to shower my love and time on them, i really don't see myself getting married or having kids 'I no get time for wahala jare '
