Abeg make we hear word. Everyday Nigerian women are tired in their marriages. Come out, no way

If you want to leave, you leave.
You want to stay, stay.

A Nigerian woman seeking advice on marital issues already knows what she would be told by the majority. So I am beginning to think it is a coping mechanism for many. Rant about the man, rinse and repeat. Then blame "society" for making them remain there.

He has never done this, never done that. But you went through something lifechanging as pregnancy for/with him.

amili66:
I really wish I had never married this man. I dont know what is keeping me in the union but oh no, I dont have any happy time with him.

He is not committed at allllllllllllll, am in pain, deeply sad and sorrowful. He is promiscuous, have speech issues and maybe memory issues. Very had to please and make this difficult always.

He'd rather please outsider than me making me and the kids happy. When I got pregnant, I only received 100k from him to buy infants items as I had twins, I funded every other things and not that he doesnt have money. We build our house together but his family sees him as their Lord and this man train his cousins, nieces, and now had the mind to tell me again that he has adopted another child of his cousin to sponsor. He never pays our kids school fees 100%, I'll always have to balance the rest cos I do not want embarrassment from their school.

We moved abroad some years ago and no he says he'll drive my kids out of the house once they clock 14, but he is training his family children who are over 25 years old. Well, I don't have many, I can train them but I truly regret this marriage,

I am never going to advise anyone ot marry.

Coming abroad, this man would sit and call those in Nigeria for hours daily, he is never serious with his work and will chose to work form home until he got sacked and since then he's being struggling to get a job and I am getting blammed daily. He said his friends called him to warn him never to give me a smiling face, they dont know I have never had a smiling face from him and this man has gone from bad to worst.

You all who it to read social media comments over men who cry woes abroad, if I leave this one now and he comes on social media, you all will start to condemn the woman without listening to her. Am in pain, it has gone from worse while in Nigeria to worst here abroad. Everyday he says marriages dont work abroad, regret coming but go back he is refusing saying we must all go back with him. I cant, I rather remain here and cut off from all my friends and family.

Maybe I remained in the marriage because of shame from people around. And I am not from that loving family so they'll laugh me.

Am so sad; at times, I just feel I never said yes to him, I had many other suitors. but I considered him because he was nice then, things changed the very first day we got married, he started telling me all the evil advise his family had advised him.

I regret building with him; I should have invested on my own.

He has never bought even a shirt for his kids, shoes, toys, christmas cloths, nothing, i Mean notihng, never. when their school asked they buy laptops, he said they are not of the age, nothing. But this man dishes out money to others. I have been supportive enough, but still not appreciated. All i get is name calling, I have never since our marriage of 16 years received a gift, I dont know what it looks like. They have never owrn christmas dress bought by their father.

I'm very sure some sets of people are eating good money from this program.. that's why they can't close the program.

nairalanda1:
I doubt the government has enough money to do that thing...we ain't producing enough crude.

Government planned to raise crude production to 4m bpd by 2027, today it' s still 1.75m bpd.

There we are. I never believed government had the capacity to do it. It was just a political statement.

If only!

But the countries that have job fairs are based heavily on manufacturing and export of manufactured goods. As a result they have a sector that can and does generate jobs , even when the economy is 'stagnant' (though this am I was reading that China is now producing far more graduates than jobs this year).

Nigeria's problems, which I have mentioned many times, but most people miss, because they think I am defending or attacking their personal favorite politican, is that our economy is oil dependent. This means that we basically just import and import. It is conducive for people who are merchants, but for graduates, problem solvers? Since we do not need to for example make toothpicks from the wood resources we have here, we can just import...that's a lot of jobs lost.

And since imported stuff is expensive (imported toiletroll can be 800 times more expensive than Nigerian one)..it drives up inflation, which has a negative net impact on our spending ability. It also worsens the naira value. That;s why we can't buy as many things with N2000 as we could ten, twenty even thirty years ago.

The problem with Nigeria, and for that matter most African nations is that we have governments that want to lift people out of poverty, and apopulation that wants to live the good life now. It's how independence was sold to the masses, because most Nigerians as at 1940 didn't care about indepndence or self government. So, the best route was to export raw materials and either import the finished goods, or import the parts of finished goods, assemble them in the country, and pretend as if we were making them here. Well, our population is too large to keep on doing that.

NO jobs, poor value of the naira...people run abroad.

That;s why the only job fairs for medical doctors are for those wishing to go abroad.

nairalanda1:
The problem was that when we got independence, we needed to replace all the white expats who held vital positons in the civil service, including in medicne and education, and we needed professionals...and since there were not many to begin with, jobs in those days were hotcakes. Even during my father's time as a student in the 70's...they had job fairs in the university ,where companies came to recurit students about to graduate (something you still see in saner climes, even in China).

As a result, a graduate graduating before 1980 could be guaranteed a good job and enough money to buy a car and even get a good enough house. Heck even secondary school leavers could get a good job with ease, and be driving cars long before their mates who went to uni graduated.

The problem was , in the 1980's onwards, because our economy was oil dependent, not industry and manufacturing dependent, the number of graduates outstripped the number of jobs available. And with the population rising beyond the ability of government revenue to sustain it, salaries started contracting. OIl price collapse in 1982, led to worsening inflation, and the ending of subsides, and worsening of services like power and light.

So, all of a sudden a graduate was no longer guarranteed a car and a house unilke before. Meanwhile, because of our import oriented economy, the people who left school to go into trading, those who were close to government and able to chop, and later scammers were the ones earning more and more money and buying the new cars and building the new houses, while university lecturers as early as 1988 were doing taxi business as side hustle (kabu -kabu).

So, in the minds of many generations since, school na SCAM.
