those who are saying there are more women than men are delluded - the more women theory is only a myth - a simple check on google will reveal to you that there are MORE men in the world than women - men outnumber women by 1%

The irony of it is that anytime there is altar call in any church in Lagos for those looking for life partner, the population of women is always higher. How come? Or is it that all our men are in the villa?
this is because there are MORE ladies in church. Women are generally more religious than men grin grin
ATLgal:

i feel you - there should be a law against marrying of multiple women

toba: Interestingly myself and two of my senior female colleagues at work discussed this issue today at work. they were like im the only eligible bachelor around and they felt i should pray.

I simply said I may not need to do that cos i already said according to Psalm 27 that 'may the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Gods sight.

I only need to choose.

ATLGAL are u married or single?
Yesterday, you were female, today you're male. . .are you so confused? huh grin

Wait ooo! is this statistics based on boy & girl yet to marry? If they say men & women I think this is still difference?

Ordinary, the number of ladies are more than boys every where.

Despite the population ratio, there are still more spinsters than bachelors so no problem yet.

@All
Many guys hate to accept the notion(fact) that there are more men than women.But thats the

truth and so it is in the most the populated nations of the world.Infact, a study of the

world sex ratio shows that there are 101 men for 100 women.
Men generally feel inferior and insecure should they begin to have the feeling that there are

many of them hustling for fewer ladies.They would rather love to imagine there are many

ladies out there for very few of them to "enjoy".
I personally will like to be in a class where there are more ladies than guys.But all my

school life, we guys were always more than the ladies.We even doubled them on some occasions

and in my final year there were only 3 ladies in my class whereas we guys were 50.
I take public transport often.Most times the male commuters outnumber the female ones.On a

number of occasions the commuters are all male.Never will the bus occupants be all female

because the driver and the conductor. I have seen instances where women declined boarding a

bus just because she was scared of the number of men already on board.

As Regards Bachelors And Spinsters
There are more bachelors than spinsters.Fact.
The thing is all the spinsters - good,bad,ugly,literate,illiterate,rich,poor, want

responsible men/bachelors as husbands.
Unfortunately a significant number of bachelors are no husband materials.They are either

financially lacking,illiterate,smokers,drinkers, wild, aggressive,potential wife beaters and

what have you.No reasonable lady (no matter her faults) wants to put up with any of these.

The church seems to be the best place to find responsible men/husband materials.Hence, the

large number of spinsters in church in search of husbands.
Also, the number of man-loving-men in the society has grown significantly far more than there are

lady-loving-ladies (thats if there are any) leaving available bachelors for spinsters even fewer.

One must be so uninformed and naivete to believe such infomation from NPC. The fact is that there're much more women in that your Corrupt country than men. There're No accurate statistics in Nigeria. Your government is one of the most corrupt in the world, period
which country are you from?

that's because not all the men are available for marriage.

you have to consider the ones out of circulation due to a preference for alternative lifestyles, the ones who dont marry early, the ones who are drug addicted to the point of incapacitation, etc etc.

being a man doesnt automatically mean someone is husband material, or willing to take on the responsibilities of marriage.

i agree with pstylish' post.

U need to visit a number of companies - like the one I work for - and you'll find this statistics to be true! The only sure fire fact is that a lot of ladies are looking to date the very few guys that appear to have enough to cater for themselves and accommodate a lady (or ladies) friend(s).

Certainly we have more men than women in Nigeria!

It is a big lie they can never and they will never be more men than women in the world these are my reasons for this statement
1 The bible said it that time will come when seven women will hold one man and say let me just answer your name i can take care of my self
2 women should be more than men because one man can get several women pregnant at the same time but the other way round it is impossible

that's because time and tide wait for no woman but time and tide are never in a hurry for men.


the male counterparts of those women are out enjoying themselves somewhere or looking for money.

that's because there was war and famine, thus creating an artificial scarcity.

read your bible properly.
