There’s absolutely wrong with getting married. Marriage is a personal choice. But whats disturbing is how we look at marriage especially in Nigeria. Yes, we Nigerians are obsessed with marriage and for all the wrongs reasons. This only goes to show how mistaken we are about the vague idea of “settling down” but also proves how we trust things going on around us.



We discussed some of the ridiculous reasons why people decide to get married.



1. Talk to any Nigerian parent and they will make you believe that marriage is the ultimate solution to all of life’s problem. Is your son been a baby boy? Is he partying too much? Get him married! Is your daughter in a new relationship with someone? Marriage will set her right. The marriage union has ceased to be a scared bond between two people and now instead feels like a disciplinary institution.



2. Due to the religious frown to Pre-martial sex in Nigeria, Nigerian youths reach their mid-twenties with their sexual frustration skyrocketing over the ceiling. Let’s all call a spade a spade but a lot of Nigerians get married solely because they cannot wait to get laid. Yes, for many, marriage is nothing more than a license to have regular sex. And this is had resulted to more dangerous results than we can possible phantom such as marital rape. Men feel entitled to sex when they want it and the way they want it, no matter whether if they have the consent of their wife or not.



3. Marriage is a compulsion in Nigeria. We grow up witnessing everyone around us getting married and believing marriage is a stage every adult has to go through. Sometimes it feels like we were raised with the mindset that marriage is the ultimate goal in life. We never get the chance to form our opinion about marriage. And we end up taking the dive not because we want to, but because we think we have to because that’s what everyone seems to be doing.



4. The fear of staying single is one of the silly reasons why people get married in Nigeria. We’re made to believe that not finding ‘the one’ by the time you’re 30 then you are going to die alone. So because of this fear we rush to meet a handful of people and choose by the process of elimination. This is wrong on some levels!
