I think it's because of our upbringing, most of us came from families where our parents did not divorce, so it looks somehow getting a divorce.

Anyways if you are interested in mini importation FREE training on how you can import items with less than 1k and sell as much as 10k.. Check my signature, training holds this Friday.

The societal norms favors men in marriages than women.

It is quite strange because ordinary romantic relationships tend to favor women than man in Nigerian. Women can play the heads of multiple men without raising any eyebrows and men are expected to spend and invest on ladies that they might not reap anything from in ordinary relationships

On the other hand, marriages favor men because women are encouraged to be submissive, while men are encouraged to be domineering. Some women might even be forced to abandon successful careers to become house wives. So except for rare occasions, men are often comfortable in marriages than women in the Nigerian society. Hence, they hardly seek divorce

Nevertheless, in spite of the aforementioned facts, it is women that want marriages and men that want to be singles forever in Nigeria. How ironic! cheesy

Because they don't want the blame to be on them for the marriage failing. They would rather frustrate the wife till she can't take it anymore and now be the one to initiate it.

most times ... men are the reason why the lady wants a divorce in the first place.

see most men are happy to have a wife ' side chic, work fuvk Buddy, booty calls and still don't see anything wrong in it ... women just don't like the idea of sharing .. once a man steps out most women will seek divorce ...
in most western countries they favor women more so its easier for them.to initiate it .

in Nigeria I think ladies are Even more tolerant .. because of society .. kids etc so I don't think its as rampant but separation is very high !

Divorce records are getting high in Nigeria.

most ladies who stay in unhappy marriages are illiterates or broke ladies.



Sometimes I wonder if men don't have problems in their homes too because almost all divorce cases are initiated by women.

Its because of the way we guys were brought up. Remember Nigeria is in Africa and not Europe. Nigerian men are taught to stomach the inadequacy of a wife hence any nigerian guy seen to be quick in divorcing his wife over little issues will be regarded as an immature man. Rather it is required that the man resolves issues with the wife and in some cases an elder member might be present to oversee and help resolve the disagreement. But then there are extreme cases where a nigerian man has been forced to divorce his wife like if the wife is a chronic unrepentant flirt.

Cheating, physical and verbal abuse, failure to take care of the family (his own part).

You know na. He will just keep loading her ammunition cheesy and pushing her to the wall with his actions. Just the way a guy that wants to break up with his girlfriend will stop calling her, start acting distant and strange till the girl just gets tired and leaves.
