An unmarried man still has a family right? Simply say fine, thank them for asking and move on

Right.

It usually throws me off and reminds me I should be married. Replying with “they’re fine” na crime? Tell me because that’s what I normally use.

Ofcourse fine na. No be person born you? Don't you have brothers and sisters? Did you fall from the sky?

Na Sabinus u supposed asked so that we will know the answers 🙄🙄🙄🙏🙏🙏🙏😏😏😏😏😏

Your parents and siblings are still your family.Not necessarily your wife and children.

We know the ones they are referring to. Mpa ayin

How is your family? They‘re fine, thank you. And yours?
But I think the perplexing question that always freak me out as a single guy that I am is “How is MADAM? As if the questionaire was there at our wedding. Lols.
Well, to such inquisitive queston via greetings and pleasantries, my responses has ever been one. “She‘s still eating her parent‘s food“ simple.

I always get confused and don't know what to reply when people greet me and ask "How family?". the question is usually thrown as a mode of greeting to know of the wellbeing of a married man's wife and children. How do you respond as an unmarried man?

Tell them they are well. Simple! Resist the urge to salaye. After all you are from and of a family

Well, even when I was single, my answer was always “fine” because I have family, parents , brothers, sisters , uncles, aunties , cousins , nephews, nieces etc

@ the bolded is one of the reasons why such question is wrong, everyone commenting pretends they don't know what op is trying to say, people that ask such silly questions assume u are married or u should be married, so we should stop all these "my father, mother and siblings are my family" cos we all know the intentions of the people who ask such silly questions. Let us condemn what is bad, people should stop asking strangers some kind of silly questions, such questions could make people feel a certain way at times, it can even make some people depressed.

Thank u, let them all continue to pretend they don't know the intentions of those that ask such silly questions.

If as a single guy, you saw yourself fallen from the sky and has no family then don't answer them " fine" when they ask how family?

It's on my waist and they will laugh out loud 😂.


Family de my waist o

I always reply their are fine.

Always resist the urge to salaye.

😂.”We thank God sir/Ma”..I’d do a counter attack before you ask me any other question,how’s Nigeria treating you?

24brains:
how about an orphan? I really think people should just stop such mode of greeting expecially strangers that do not know much about someone. They should stop asking deep, personal & private questions!!! Some even go as deep as asking "you be family man?"

Very annoying.

You always belong to a family before having yours

That's simply all there is to say.

Security-wise, one has to be careful about random folks asking such open questions.

Lol

That’s Nigerian way of trying to know more about you by amebo neighbours. They have been talking behind your back. The way you answer that question is what they will use to speculate behind your back.

If you carry babes front and back, they won’t ask you that question. But if they don’t see any girl with you and you somewhat act responsibly, that’s the question they would use to know what’s up?

Later, they will ask you “how are your kids?” “Are You hearing from home?” etc

Aproko people.

Let the single breath, don’t suffocate them
They’ve got families too

Even as a singleton, don't you come from a family?
Or shouldn't you care about how they are doing?

If someone how about your family, it could as well presuppose that he wasn't talking about your wife and children.
Just don't make life hard on yourself by over thinking it.
Respond to the person that they are alright if you don't want more questions.

"Dem dey fine".... It's not a crime to be single so I wonder why this is in the crime section

This is a family section not crime section

Yes I have a family but if you ask me how is my wife and kids like say I told you i am married, then you will answer the question yourself. Nigerians and their unnecessary questions and over sabi rubbish

Single guys family are his mum dad and siblings , so the answer is they are all fine because to him you are referring to his immediate family
