No. Of children would make you either steal or be loyal to the organization depending on your salary. Marital status affects your productivity as a tired employee from the other room's activity would be too weak to have meaningful contributions to office Religion inclination would tell them when you can be available or not. It's always believed that married people are more responsible and loyal. Other reasons abound though. These are a few I can think of and believe me, they matter |

ednut1: Pls discard this fallacy that married people are more trustworthy before you fall victim, that was the norm in the older days, everyone is a vampire in this present Nigeria. Go to brekete program in Abuja and see how married women are scamming people in droves... 2 Likes |

Curiouscity:1. Marital status is important for the Employer because your level of commitment is directly or indirectly commensurate with the level of responsibilities you shoulder. Some jobs are more suitable for singles who can afford to resume early, work late, travel etc. Some jobs are more suitable for married people. Some jobs are suitable for everyone regardless of marital status. Most companies prefer their staff married because in most cases singles can easily quit/resign while married people can't easily decide to quit for fear of bills at home. 2. Number of Children / Age of children also shows your level of commitment due to responsibilities you shoulder and sacrifices you can afford to make. A nursing mother can't possible leave her children for a job that involves traveling. Also this determines how much maternity leave the company will be exposed to if newly weds. 3. Religion clearly will affect you ability to get along with you co-staff. Extremists will definitely find it difficult to work in certain work environments. Hope you now see why each of these fields is important. Although contemporary companies that don't demand these have mechanisms in place to protect themselves. 1 Like |

Curiouscity: Strikes me as though the question intends to identify whether the applicant is a family man and thus liable to be a more responsible employee if accepted for the role. In addition, unlike a single individual, a family man is likelier to tolerant difficult work conditions and persevere at the role due to dependents that rely on him. Questions related to faith may be for similar reasons. People devoted to a religion may be deemed as individuals more liable to be constrained and disciplined than individuals without perceived beliefs systems. 1 Like |

A good question would be why does the average Nigerian believe he knows better than every institutional authority figure and would run every institution better than those in charge? Even a roadside, junkyard dwelling Nigerian, uneducated, poorly educated, or even a little retarded mentally or physically thinks he knows better than everyone in power ? Curiously, these types of Nigerians never offer alternatives to what they criticise for fear, perhaps, that thire self belief - as superiors to those in power - may at least be challenged.... 1 Like |

They do because they can. Come to think of it, I should start snapping nudes of people who beg me for loans. Broadcasting them to mutual friends should scare the person into paying back on time. God knows I hate when someone who nearly ate sand to ensure you borrowed him/her money laughs at your face in jest. Just pay at the stipulated time, how hard is it?! |

Though i do not really have issue with these ones. The one that baffles me and pains me most is looking for a guarantor who's a level 15 Officer and above in civil service or a policeman above DSP level or a royal father to sign a guarantor form for you. For whattttttt? The same country you're 100% citizen ![]() |
