your problem can be solved.
raise some amount, get a professional course done and get certified.
your income would be boosted!

date 5 men at a time? no wonder there are more unmarried women out there.
what do you think akin would do when he discovers his chic is seeing bayo and kola?

pappy2000:

The truth is that everyone that has contributed to this discussion is speaking from their own point of view.The truth is that the root cause of late marriage in men and women is the economy of this country.The truth is that let me use myself as an example, I am in my 31 and working as a teacher in a God-forsaken school and earning 15k,how do u think i should get marry with that peanut.I had to leave the place last month to do other things.I intend to start driving a cab soonest,and all my friends are asking me when am I get married when that is the least of my problem,so u can see what I mean.I ami have  still look for financial break through in life.and the irony of this is that I have many of my colleagues who is working and earning as little as that and they have wives and children,but i have vowed that I will not live the kind of lives those people are living.In fact,they are not living,they are merely existing.

marriage is not for every one regardless of your gender.

marriage is not a parametre to measuring if a person is responsible or not,mature or not,can procreate or not.

marriage is "NOT" a ticket to heaven or haven as the case may be for some who think of it as a spring board to financial security.

[s]I donot like coogar he is always ff my tail light[/s]

See the way a man thinks at coogar's advice , you work as a teacher for a year, save money up, go for a prince2 course or NIIT , become certified , find a job with it after 3 years establish your own company employ people to save your personal time,
No body is here for you, only you can help yourself,
Your reasoning is off and not success oriented at all
Lastly good things donot happen to ungrateful and sad people,
You speak and write good english so i guess the background is there
If the owner of the school had your kind of attitude , there will not school and no job for you, be grateful to him no matter what he gave you an opportunity
If your skills are worth more than N15000 you will be earning more.

Ok you either take this as the constructive criticism it is or you bite me , which ever way , i am investing my sterling.
@ coogar
I didnot mean to say i no like you o, pls 4give me

horny4u:

You are one of the reasons some women marry late.
At 31 my school cert father already had a house, wife and children he was feeding.
Which economy? Economy can never stop a real hustler man,
tough love here .
The school that employed your arsse is forsaken or you wey no find better to do, or open a school yourself
more tough love
Your attitude is the problem , you have a self pity attitude eatting away at your you
See Nairaland was built by a then small geek then , NOW A BIG MAN [s] [b]if they pursue me from nairaland na you o[/b][/s] was he employed to do it , hell no
If you continue to depend on the economy and self pity you will be ringa ringa rosy and wasting some girl's time.

[size=13pt]When it comes to late marriages,women will always be at the loosing end. We all must understand that even though God made humans to become 'higher' animals,we are still 'animals'. The way God designed ALL animals,he gave us 'mating seasons',every set of animals created by God have mating seasons,once any female animal fails to take advantage of that season,she looses the opportunity for procreation. For ladies,their mating season is between 18yrs to 25yrs,this is the age at which any NORMAL woman should find her ideal mate and start having children. The Good Lord in his mercies added jara to women by giving them 'going going' extra time which is between the ages of 26yrs and 29yrs,as from thirty years the woman enters danger zone,as the yoruba would say,'won ti 'ta' ti',i.e dem don sell finish,close shop.
Many women in a bid to acertain their so called equality with their male counterparts have also fallen into this mess. They keep forgetting that a man of 50yrs can still LEGALLY get married to an 18 year old girl and have lots of children with her, no shaken!
Anyways,i believe their eyes don clear now as even one of their role models BEYONCE,don jejely get belle inside her husband house. even as many other single old cargoes dey psyche themselves say 'Girls run the world'.

PS: Ladies no vex,i'm just trying to dish out some tuff luv over here,still love u guys. LOL!!![/size]

pls take it easy with women, u sound so mean.

Horny4u & coogar, you guys must be living in the wilderness!
A guy earns 15k with no additional income and the best advice you can offer, is for him to enroll in a school and increase his skills?
Tell me, where will the money for tuition and other expenses come from?
For crying out loud, it's Nigeria we're talking about, not Us.
Being self-employed is a huge step in his current situation. Driving a cab may not be the best but it's a start.
When you don't have enough, you start with the one you have.
I agree with the self pity part though, but he's willing to take another step, which what i actually admire.

For example most parents will tell you never marry a yoruba man if you are an Ibo or never marry an Ibo man if yoruba and they give you so many craps that, Men or women from so so place are occultic, womanizer etc, thereby giving the singles tough time in choosing even when the right man is from another tribe. That is what i am suffering now. With a Well paid Job, 2 Bed flat, Msc, God fearing, the lady i chose ( from other tribe)my parents are still battleling me with it even 4 years without committing 4nicketing

coogar:

probably because you say the most outlandish stuffs for a feminist!

what's with the megede fegede you are typing here.

a man earning 15k in nigeria should then do what? form a company with 15k?
shouldn't he be looking at adding more skills to his skill-set so he can boost his income and live the kind of life he dreams or sees in magazines?
how he copes with 15k a month is baffling - what kinda salary is that?

horny4u, you need to go get laid, you are really h[i]o[/i]rny!!

no need for forgiveness cos i don't like you at all!
feeling is perfectly mutual!

ZE:

You said it all.  truth is bitter but someone have to say it.

what you said is in-depth and some parts require deep meditation and concentration.  

Man's greatest enemy is not the  economy, govt, environment etc etc but SELF (INDECISION, DOUBT  & FEAR).  the day you conquer your self is the day you conquer the world.

a lot of people don't think outside the BOX.
