I have a friend, who almost lost his sister to comma because her fiance married another girl.
so i asked my friend " why do women kill them selves because of marriage".
immediately they clock 23yrs, they start the race, by 29yrs is like do or die affair;
then by 35yrs if nothing happen, is like danger ( like P2- song),
why?
guys & ladies i want u to comment on dis,

Simple reason: M-E-N-O-P-A-U-S-E. A man can father a child even if he is 200 years old. only Abrahams wife broke that record or bearing a child @ 90years old.

Do you notice that some natural things that bother women has the phrase M.E.N. in it e.g. Menopause, Menstruation e.t.c.

because marriage is gud and sweet like like honey

Societal status and pressure.

The pressure to marry in the west is less than in Nigeria
While Naija girls are getting married by all means at 22,

Their American age mates are thinking of med or law school or career development.
And they aren't pressured to marry early.

Its the african mentality leading women to believe life hasnt yet started until one is married, they have made it seem the biggest acheivement is to be married, when in actual fact its the begining of a life long term of unhappiness for many. BAck home women strive to marry at all costs and once they reach a certain age they are then told they are no longer 'viable' for marriage and become desperate. Women need to understand life is not meant to be lived to 'please others' one can never fulfil societies standards and once you start trying to be like an 'idol individual' you will never stop! Instead live life knowing Que Sera, Sera whatever will be will be!

@poster,
When you say women, I hope you are referring to some and not all women. 
Not all women think this way. I agree with spyker, women are kind of placed on a time limit if they want to marry and have children; so it's almost a natural instinct to desire marriage at a certain time.

even my girlfriend have given me conditions, No fucking with condom and no protection, she want a baby by force,she said I may end up playing her and we should do Get Together Family before December if I don't want marriage soon

dis pressure of a tin is too common in Naija,
one lady told one of my guys; " no introduction on bleeding".
ok go am not interested again, she doesnt want to go,
every church dis days in lagos, immediately d pastor say
"u will recieve ur husband dis yr", o boy , d amen
can fall d roof, wentin sef, wahala dey oooo,

If God and true love is the foundation.

No matter how successful a man/woman is, without someone to share the success with is bull (in my opinion). I really don't think marriage should be the ultimate. The most important thing is to find the special person you want to spend the rest of your life with and stick together for better or worse. But, you know an environment like ours does not approve “PARTNERSHIP" as a couple. So, you are left to want to find the special one and just walk down the aisle to make it proper and acceptable in our environment and of course, "The Church" and also to avoid being labeled a “wh0re” if you are a woman.

yes nigerian women want to get married at all costs, na dem problem be dat
what i dont understand is why some men allow themselves to be stampeded into marriage aka bondage
for me common law any day

some one say why getting married with all d wife wahalas ( no freedom; nagging;responsibility etc);
if its sex u want; the pros. are far better than d wife, give them small cash and u will get more than enough
it its love, u mother & sistas can show u more care; just visit them
if its children, why keep on multiplying, when dey are talking of over
population just go and adort a child.
another of my guys now said; Nigeria women go swear 4 u because u want to
pour sand sand 4 their garri eh

I only saw that on this site.

couldn't agree with you more, but I suppose the economics of it makes sense to the women who are desperate for it,

Nonsense - just look at the young girls deceiving themselves" One says i rather die lonely than for man to think he is doing me a favor. " I suspect you have been in many failed relationships that is why you are so bitter. The Fact remains " You need a man" .

No woman 'needs' a man and no man 'needs' a woman, exept for babies. Other than that you can be just fine on your own!!

That's not always true.More women in today's society

are waiting later in life, if at all to marry.I personally know

more men who are more open to marriage than women.
