This is a good topic. Naija govt should consider incentivizing marriage. Instead of us shaming single people into get married.

@OP. You know the ‘big’ tax breaks married folks get in USA is because they paid more taxes combined than a single person paid. I don’t know about other countries, but the new tax reforms that trump passed made it such that you don’t get refunds for having kids but it just reduces your taxable income which at the end only saves you a few hundred dollars per child versus in the past when you could simply get $1000 in returns for each child. Some folks were claiming many dependents and cashing out during tax season.

The health insurance part is a very good perk.

The OP mentioned important benefits from the Country's Govt while you guys are mentioning benefits from individuals which differs depending on the status of the couples. Well probably most of you don't know how tangible health insurance and tax are in the US. How many of us even pay tax in Nigeria?

It is not news that there is insecurity as well as political and economic instability in Nigeria.

The person is not asking whether Nigeria is heaven they can come to. If America is so safe, why are they considering coming to Africa?

Are you saying there are no robberies, kidnaps, difficulty doing business in other countries, as it is in Nigeria? Albeit in varying levels.

No more comments.

There are no countries that are without flaws.

Nigerians have always been known as a happy and hospitable people. Depending on ofcourse (the personality traits) of the people relocating back to Nigeria, they shouldn't have any problems whatsoever, provided they play by the rules of the proverbial jungle. Keep your head down, do your thing without crossing others and don't rub your "oyibo experience" on anyone's face or see yourself as superior to other 'niggas' because you have an accent.

Play your game well, you'll see that Nigeria is Home to Many!

Na Bad government profiting from the insecurities (which is also not non-existent in other countries) that adds a sour taste to our wine.

1: Family,friends and well wishers sprays couples money on the day of their traditional/church wedding,

2: when she puts to bed,some people will come and see her with envelops,

3: on the day of child dedication,another spraying

These are the only financial benefits.

If you go to family meeting, they will respect u. And if you have a male child, When they are sharing land, They will give you a large plot, depending on the quantity they shared.

That's the little I know.
