I pondered on this question last night, and came up with an answer : The more independent you become, the lesser you see the need for Marriage. When you live by your own terms, pay your own bills, have a regular Bleep, attention and care from opposite sex, You are most likely to loose interest in marriage.

But hey! who asks for another person's list of benefits of being married? Are we all getting married to the same individual?

donstan18:
The lady that asked that question is an evening newspaper looking for a way to console herself.

-No matter how a Nigerian lady claim not to want to be called a wife on social media, she'll still log out and face reality.

-Comments and posts like this are often made by married women who are benefiting from marriage. But the dump and single ones will be quick to embrace it.

-It's funny how a married woman made such statements, but if she's to be asked to lead by example by leaving her marriage to get the same benefit as a single lady, she won't do it.

-If marriage is to be abolished in Nigeria, Nigerian ladies will die of hunger and poverty because an average Nigerian lady is poor, looking for a man to depend on which is their major reason for marriage(To alleviate from poverty)

Funny thing is; That lady might be holding fried chicken or turkey with chilled wine, wearing sexy dress and crossing her legs in her husband's parlor enjoying, while the foolish and single frustrated ones be consoling their lonely and unmarried state with her posts.

she just said my mind, the only thing i want in life, is mental peace, happiness, and enjoy my life without anyone restricting me why get married when i will be subjected to pains, commitments, emotional trauma, e.t.c

and this is a reason Africa will remain the poorest continent because they fail to think out of the box in most cases. Being dependent on someone because he is richer does not mean one is out of poverty. Being poor is a state of the mind. Driving a car, living in a house, travelling round the world isn't success if one didn't work for it. There is nothing like working for what you have... this is success to me

Aha! We've cracked her code! lol! In that case marriage in "Nigeria" ain't worth it

Who needs guarantees in life? shi, the oxygen we breathe ain't guaranteed but we breathe anyway

Marriage is a beautiful ideal with the right person... I just wish our generation wasn't filled [b]with needy people. [/b]Think about it most of the broken marriages are due to some need that wasn't met! The sick irony is that no one can meet our needs but us! But we hold other's responsible for our needs. When marriage was a poverty alleviating scheme, men married many women but now a days a man can't find 1 to marry? why? Poverty is an easier need to manage in comparison to 'Making her happy' you can't throw money at happiness.

mustylique:


marriage IS still a poverty alleviating scheme in this country, mostly.
the happiness of most naija babes revolves around money, so money can be thrown at happiness in this context, most of the time atleast.
the bottom line is that the country is fvcked up and it is affecting everyones mentality irrespective of gender. marriage is only favourable with the right mentality by both parties.

mustylique:


poverty may be a state of mind but ur definition of success doesn't go down well with me.
so dangote and otedola's children are not successful Abi because they didn't work hard for it.
success comes easy for some folks, in fact some people were born successful, and I don't think dey should be made to feel bad about it because dey didn't work hard for it.

majekdom2:
this is because bad news spreads faster than good news. The bad belle people are quick to see and spread the news of your crashed marriage. There are still certified partner through life that can be guaranteed. There are people enjoying their marriage. This mentality of I am right, you can't be right is why many marriages are failing. We are tuned to the negatives especially in Africa. There is no place for empathy any more. People marry and date for their selfish gains. Marry a complement and you will enjoy life!

I think the society we are in especially Nigeria affects mind set alot, not every woman wants to GET married, not every woman wants to STAY married, some just wants to taste and leave, people do what society wants so that they wont be tagged different names, personally i'm indifferent about marriage, only advantage is to have a stable and safe fvck mate, have kids legally et al.

Angy55:
Some Ladies

Okay, don't get married, work and earn all the money you can and be paying one young boy to be lashing you always. Pay any young guy to impregnate you and that settles it.

sexdoll:


who knows, she may even be a lesbian so no need to be paying any young boy at all...

pocohantas:
Definitely a Nigerian woman, married to a Nigerian man.

She answered the question logically though.

As for the one asking that question, she just wants to start a war. Doesn't she have parents? What are the best parts of her mother being married? Therein lies the answer to her question.
