OP you should be asking what's the number of gainfully employed adult males in the country? Is it not when a man is gainfully employed or has a sustainable source of income before he can then think of marriage? I just feel it's usually kids that open all these kind of childish post. Election is February, many youths will still vote in misfits and then begin to wonder why the country is not moving forward. So from which place will the females get married, when the available suitors are limited? Majority of the males in that age bracket have not even balance themselves financially, before they can even think of marriage. Things will only get worst when misfits and irresponsible people get hold of the highest position in the country. Vote wisely and avoid 8 years of misrule by funny characters.

This is especially true in a conservative country like Nigeria. During Jonathan's era, marriages were at an all-time high. These topics were not abundant as they are today on Nairaland. The frustration was minimal. In a conservative country, when the economy is good, people get married. The same holds even in liberal societies. However, the rise in single-hood in developed societies has more to do with the rise in Ndi feminism, the high cost of living and raising children, the high cost of housing and the rise in individualism.

But then, this topic depends on a person's perspectives and environment. Almost ALL my female classmates/friends/acquaintances have married. Some are even pregnant for their second or third baby. The single ones are those who wish to be single in the meantime. Only one male has gotten married, but older males on Facebook have also gotten married and bore children. In fact, I can only recall four who are single. Yet every post of theirs talks about wishing to marry. Anytime I see this topic, it does not correlate with what I see on Facebook and Instagram. The rate might have dropped, but people will always get married.

You spoke well, though our lifestyle and those of the developed world are totally different. Those Ndi feminist are a problem to a traditional way of relationship. Even their men are trooping to Latin America or Asians to find a wife. Those countries share similarities with African way of life especially when it comes to marriage.

In developed countries, there are lot opportunities for young lad to get married because things work well. Their labour force don't really need college degrees, a situation where a young person can even work as a cleaner or warehouse worker and he/she can be able to afford a good life. In addition, to their credit system where one can buy household items on credit. But for 9ja, man gats to cough out cash to buy anything. Guy man never fit take care of himself let a lone multiple mouths.

During GEJ time a lot of people got married. I just feel those in charge of the affairs of the country deliberately make things difficult for people. They all know what they are doing. A situation were the poor man has no choice and he's then controlled by money. Such a pity. I believe your circle of friends are doing well. Though a lot of people below the average income earners still get married, but those who grew up at the average level of financial stability or even above are not getting married due to their expected income is not met.

The problem in this country is that we pay too much emphasis on higher institution degrees. Unskilled workers are not appreciated and it's not a must one must go to university/polytechnic before one can live a good life. If not for wickedness and archaic mentality of those who usually get close to power, why can't they make the industrial and agricultural sectors to work? Even if seaports in other southern states were working, it will provide direct and indirect jobs for people in those areas and young guys will happily start a family. Lagos state is just too small to have everything, it will choke one day. They should have spread development to other states so as to make sure everyone benefits from the goodies in Nigeria

Our ladies are more family oriented, it's just unfortunate that those incharge of governance are just plain wicked people who don't value the people they govern.
A lot of people don't know that having a bad leader especially in Nigeria, has a way of affecting their lifestyle negatively. Leaders in this country have so much power in wish they should use in a positive way but normally na wickedness them sabi. For example, what happens a lot in states, is that the governors don't develop areas that didn't vote for them and they still carry such archaic mentality to the national level by encouraging marginalization of opposition regions. All these leads to increase in poverty level and finally a decrease in the number of people getting married

All you have stated here is true.



While the rest of this post is true, the bold is not really true. But I do agree that there exists social mobility and many economic opportunities for even the most ambitious truck-pusher or factory worker. For instance, the CHIPS Act in the US will usher in many high-paying jobs, even for those without a college degree.



At the first bold, the average Nigerian politician is very wicked and cruel. This stems from the fact that the average Nigerian can be very wicked to his neighbour, especially if the person is of a different ethnic group. The politicians in Nigeria do not come from another place. They are also Nigerians and are supported by fellow Nigerians, even those who later relocated support these politicians.

At the second bold, the way I see it, unless there is a marked economic difference between a bachelor and a married man, the latter tends to be better economically placed than the former. That is, those males who got married are doing pretty well. On the other hand, average income earners do marry - the truth is: the average Nigerian, male or female, looks forward to getting married. The percentage of those who wish not to get married for whatever reason, even if they are doing well financially, is very low. Their views just get the widest attention due to tweets, posts & videos, but the percentage is very low.

As for my direct classmates/schoolmates, most are females, and like I stated, almost all are married. Even the ones who flirted in school are married and have children. I know too many, which is why alfa meil posts dey make me laugh. Nigerian men will keep marrying non-virgins no matter what they whine about. The single ones wish to remain so, not because they do not have suitors. In fact, I know two that if they say they are marrying next week Saturday, they will get wedded.

.

Well, to be fair, semi-skilled workers are appreciated in countries where the population is very low, and the economy is very prosperous. In highly populated countries that are not prosperous, labour becomes very cheap, thus, leading to poor wages for those without university degrees. An instance is the Philippines and Indonesia. Contrast is the US and Switzerland. The higher the population of a country and the poorer it is, the lower the wages for semi-skilled workers.

Secondly, yes, by ensuring ports in the South-South work just as those in Lagos, economic opportunities will spread across the country. The other day, Udom of Akwa Ibom was lamenting how approval for the Ibom Deep Seaport has not materialised upon his continuous request, whereas that of Lekki was quickly approved. If the IDSp works, it makes no sense for someone in Cross River, Benue or Adamawa to move to Lagos to earn good money or export his/her products. It is a major reason I admire the US. Very few Texans move to California for economic opportunities unless the salaries are very high or it is very specialised. Why should he or she move when there are so many economic opportunities within the oil industry (excluding tech, biotech, logistics, manufacturing etc)?

Another thing is security. There are families which own massive farmlands in Nebraska and Iowa which have had generations working there, and they make good money coupled with support from research institutes and the government. Nothing bothers them with Fulani herdsmen. They cultivate, harvest and ship their crops to buyers worldwide via the nearest states with ports. If Nigeria was working as even Brazil, why should a family abandon their farmland in Plateau or Kaduna and move to Abuja doing menial jobs where they could make consistent revenues in those northern states? The farmer in Benue will have nothing to do in Abuja or Lagos, just cultivate and transport via Rivers or Akwa Ibom. I once envisaged the lifestyle - own farmlands in Plateau or Taraba, cultivate, process, package and transport to the world via Rivers or Akwa Ibom. But security is paramount as one needs a sense of stability.

Also, due to the low cost of living in the north, many southerners who found it too hard to compete in the south would have moved there. Simply obey the customs, do your business/work and live a simple life. Most individuals worldwide do not aim to be wealthy but just want a society that provides security, prospects and average economic opportunities. It is why very few citizens of richer countries migrate to other countries, and even when they do, they migrate to their richer counterparts.



That is what Ndi alfa meils do not know. Our women are actually very family-oriented, but successive years of economic penury and insecurity have destabilised households making them toil endlessly when ordinarily, women are not built for that. Na why I dey always preach say Nigerian men have failed their women. https://www.nairaland.com/6643241/nigerian-men-failed-women

Developing a country is not difficult these days. There are many templates to choose from; tweak them and paste. South Korea copied the Japanese, the Japanese copied the westerners. China copied the Singaporeans, and so on. The last eight years have been terrible for most Nigerians, and should they vote for Tinubu, it is going to be catastrophic.

Nonexisting1:
That number will continue to increase until maybe the federal government makes marrying Nigerian girls mandatory and that's when I will leave this country. I can't tame these street dogs we have around us, I'm not an animal tamer.
