Everytime... marriage, marriage.
Every day the same talk, for people this obsessed with marriage you'd think we have the best marriages in the world.

Meanwhile we rank top in paternity fraud, and infidelity.

Nigerian ladies are the ones obsessed with it,I wonder why.
No guy in my circle talks about it sef and most of them can afford to,men just looking for ways to expand their reach on a daily.
But for the ladies,it's a whole different ball game.
Everytime you need to marry ,it will help your fortune,two heads are better than one,you need a partner bla bla bla,
Your head is so bright and you are such a fortune giver,yet you are always looking for who to run to his house and hold leverage on in the name of marriage,
Use that your support and good fortune to build yourself first,then we can talk.

You could have first asked why are they obsessed with relationship..

Hardly some people can go 6 months without being in a relationship which eventually na as usual story go end am.

Marriage or relationship is not for everyone.

The moment guys have chickening change like this, they can no longer do house chores by themselves hence the need to marry even when they are not psychologically and emotionally ready while the ladies want to excape from the reality of life by hiding under marriage, even if na to be a maid in the marriage, so many ladies have let go of their career, future dreams all in the name of marriage.

The society are not helping at all . They put unnecessary pressure on singles from 30+ even though they are not ready to bear the marriage finances palava

No woman that's untop of her career that'll quit it for marriage,none!
It's those ones that don't fully grab what they're doing in their respective fields that are ever ready to quit it for marriage.
Have this lady friend of mine,doing so well in finance.
Her husband is a great guy who has built something really great out of life,
He keeps pressuring her to quit because she always complain of stress to him from work which the guy hates.
But how can she after putting in all those years to get to where she is?
But all these ones doing nothing significant,before you ask them don quit to become full blown liability.Tueh.

Lol.... See who is talking. Nigerian men are more obsessed with marriage. I can't even enjoy WhatsApp conversations without men asking me to be their woman. 28yr old guys are the ones disturbing my life. Like, why the rush?

Who has made it so? When men marriage-shame, age-shame, and slut-shame single women on a daily basis, why won't they take marriage so seriously? It sickens me to hear men ridicule women because they care about getting married, then go to a different thread to mock the unmarried ones. Like how stupid and immature can a person get? undecided

So, I went to a church last week Sunday. I met a newly married bro who said his wife just got a good job.

But for the four years of their courtship, the lady never had a job that payed more than 30k.

Then, he would not be birthed and won't know if the world existed. That rationale does not make sense as a person yet to be born does not know anything. It is not like he was born and died afterwards, he wasn't present at all (the same applies to even a five-year-old who died).

To add to this, religion, when combined with culture makes it a societal thing. The average Nigerian is conservative and looks forward to marriage, so it should not be surprising that Nigerians are obsessed with it.

That is the A - Z of Alfa Meils.

Lampoon women for being overly interested in marriage then criticise them when they (women) remain single as 30+. Cognitive dissonance is the cause of their mental instability. I am not surprised as they are largely unemployed, poor, miserable, poorly educated and exposed people.

But you also think women over 30 aren’t marriage material. So why are you upset they want to marry quickly?
You’ve never in any of your posts had anything positive to say about women wanting to marry after 30 years of age. But here you are mocking those who want to marry early.

Is there anything women can actually do right?

And yours is just one tiny example . Most guys here will say negative things about marrying “older women” thereby helping to perpetuate a culture of mockery towards single women. Only to jump on another thread and wonder why the women are so interested in marriage. Is it a deliberate attempt to make sure that no woman no matter what conditions she finds herself in will always feel inadequate? Isn’t that what this whole ish is about?

Are you trying to sound "woke" or what?

Worldwide, people are obsessed with different things. Americans are obsessed with credit card. In the UK, people are obsessed with America. Indians are obsessed with friends and family. The Chinese are obsessed with sea foods and the West.

Bottom line is that we all are humans with feelings, emotions, and desires. To say that it's wrong for people to desire marriage is not another form of "wokeness" but stupid!ty.

It is better to be obsessed with marriage, food, friends, family, than corruption and bribe. If you're genuinely concerned about people's obsession, you will worry about the rate of crime and ritual and find ways to preserve your head and private parts.
