truthsayer009:
You should be ashamed OP. Is this what you want to happen? It won't by the grace of God.

truthsayer, no be me write am oo. just asking if it has started happening.

I tink we can use these baby mamas to justify this.

dingbang:
I don't think its happening in Nigeria.. These days the men are more in numbers who are looking for a wife to marry

ayam not understanding

Afam4eva:
Can someone confirm if this trend of husbands dying before their wives is also common in western countries so that we can create a nexus.

I think that is anoder tin to be considered.

cococandy come ooo,, ur attention is needed

sugarwiz:
Change is constant. Everything can't remain the same forever. You must understand that.

even the words of God??

EfemenaXY:
What's with your morbid fascination with death?
You planning on killing or getting killed?

must u comment

DarkRebel69:
Are the deaths of fathers truly more common or is it only a myth that has been told often enough to the extent that we've come to internalize it as the truth? Were there actual surveys conducted?

I hope I'm not being a party-pooper.

boss, this one no be myth ooo. na reality

eyinjuege:
Women generally have a longer life span / life expectancy than men.

There are lots of studies on this btw. Google search will bring up quite a few.

Etc..... loads of articles exploring various reasons why

Op, lonikit, check out these articles pasted. They're all well researched, and published by reliable journals. You can be sure of reasonable peer review

oh! so educative. tnx so much

WiredLeggings:
women have always lived longer than men. there're many reasons why... too long to go into, but surprisingly age is not one of them.

u mean age is not one!??

KanwuliaExtra:
You nor get PAPA?

lolzzz. u funny.

wey buhari

eyinjuege:
Oh, my bad...

I assumed it was a serious thread needing serious answers, didn't know we just wan throw bater about

Its all good. Men die earlier because of the troubles from their wives jare

lolzzzz. I tink wives wahala shud not be ignored too, it can form part of the reason. I have seen such. also, we shud consider the spiritual aspect.

Benita27:
I think lot of factors comes into play here.

Usually, the men are older but more often than not their deaths don't occur during old age but within the ages of 40s to 60s...i don't consider men in this age bracket old whether life expectancy in Africa says so. Due to the fact that the man carries a greater burden of responsibility, they're prone to heart attacks which kills more than HIV, and most don't pay attention to their health. Lastly, using my dad for example, as an African if you don't believe in voodoo then you're an alien. If you must destroy a plant, you'd have to cut-off it's root to prevent it from growing again, having this in mind...some men where killed either through poisoning or through some spiritual attack 'cause it's believed since they're the head of the homes, attacking them first would render the offspring usesless not knowing that there's God who sees beyond what any man could imagine.

that voodoo part is very true oo.

tnx for ur contribution

SirVintageCock:
Boy, I thought you want an intelligent conversation


Take it to romance section and have them tell you what you want to hear.

The chances of a woman dying early is high during the early years of marriage due to childbearing.
Apart from that women takes care of themseLves more than men by trying to be in shape, eating healthy while men smokes and drinks and other unhealthy lifestyles.
Men are older than their wives so first come first go.
Men only go to the hospital if they had an accident or after they pass out. That may even lead to their death or an undiagnosed untreatable disease may be found. Antenatal visits helps women a lot cause most of this are detected during those visits and follow up are made too.
Men takes reskless risk and may not survive it while women endure more.

Do you know that the number of women attempting suicide are four times more than men but men has the most number of completed suicide more than women. Google and see.

I was jokin wit her/ him.
tnx for ur post, so educative.


mind u, I'm not a boy but a young man.

eyinjuege:
And you live in la la land.

I have just stated researched facts for you, where even google will bring out articles and references for you, and the best excuse you can give to counter it is to call me a feminist?
That's the lamest thing I've heard all week. You need to do better. We need right thinking men, not moved by emotions and sentiments to make Nigeria greater.

I was actually jokin wit u ooo.

I actually learnt sumtin from ur post

eyinjuege:
Average life expectancy of a man in Nigeria is btw 46-52 years while a woman is 48-54 years.
I won't even bother going into the risk taking behaviour of men such as drink driving, engaging in violent crimes which ultimately cuts their lives shorter than their female counterparts. Oh, did I also tell you that men also have a higher risk of having heart diseases such as hypertension, cardiac arrest? (Oestrogen hormone in women offer some protection, so don't give me the story that it's because the men feed their families, women also provide and even do more ).
So many other reasons as discussed in some previous threads.
However, one major IMPORTANT thing you should realise about single parent households (where its not a case of divorce, but of loss of life of a partner) is that more men after the loss of a spouse remarry, so you won't even consider them as single parent households, and they are not seen as part of your statistics (which they should have been) unlike their female counterparts who don't remarry and go on to raise their children alone.

u are a feminist

KanwuliaExtra:
Because men ignore major health issues and live more stressful lives trying to be family heads.

really

cococandy:
The men are usually older. nature demands that they die first.

I wouldn't wish anyone younger than me to die before me. It's not natural.

age has notin to do with dis. majority of the fathers died even prematurely. most home lost the father wen he is still young while the mothers usually grow older

MENTORCH:
She can be the first born and they are only two kids.

true

gracile:
It's vice versa, I and boo are first bs sha

nice one. good to go

swiz123:
Yea..that's the basic reason

I don't tink it really has to do with age bcus most even died bfr old age

lefulefu:
i dey gbadu im ten points sha

even me ooo

OkuFaba:
When a woman demands so much more than u can afford, your life is at 50:50 chance. Just for you to know,

lolzzzz

LordIsaac:
Read "The manipulated man" or "the Polygamous sex" by Esther Vilar...you'll get your nswers.

really??

I have observed that mothers seem to have longer life span than fathers despite their challenges.

mothers seem to have longer life span than fathers

mothers have longer live span than fathers. if u check most Nigeria homes, dey don't have father again. despite the challenges of the mothers, they tend to live longer than the fathers. why??

any scientific proof

I mean the mothers live longer than the fathers

swiz123:
Primarily,fathers are always older.

u tink dat is the reason

if u check 20 homes, more than half may not have father again
