Get a man and have your baby before it is too late. I know plenty women in your position,and i know what they are going through. It is always a different story if you are single and have a child or two. No matter how you look at it ,its better than not having husband and no child . Act fast ,all the best . |

If true then they didnt need to have a funtioning reproductive organ heH. more so thats agaisnt the laws of biology, every individual should make sure that his genes are passed down. how else does one obtain imortality? |

I advise u to go to @naijasingle on Instagram and search for guys in Nigeria for serious relationship. Don't disclose ur current location as yankee, it may work against ur goal as guys may look at u as a big and achieved lady. Use any Nigerian city as ur location if u are a Nigerian based abroad. I may even shoot my shot when I see such request that's not yankee-based challenging to an average Nigerian man. I bet if this strategy doesn't work, I will pay for the damages caused. Don't even mind these doctors talks joor You're even still younger 2 Likes |

duyox2004: Many Nigerian women use Black Magic and Blood covenant to hook men. Why don’t you try that option You can turn your potential man into a mumu. I know at least 25 women who used Black magic to marry their Nigerian men. Also, LEAVE Nigerian men alone and date Men from other parts of the world. |

Hmmmm @duyox2004 You asked a question and answered it yourself. You are old (though not too old) and you're already feeling like this, so just imagine what you'll be like in 10/20/30 years from now. Perspectives: some give advice based on evil intent, some based on their personal circumstances, and some will give you advice that thy feel will be the best for you BUT the ultimate decision is ALWAYS yours to make. Àmọ̀ràn: You can choose to marry before this year runs out because there are men waiting to marry your type - full yankee babe spec with better fonee - and will worship at your nether altar for the rest of their lives BUT are you willing and ready to marry such? The ball is in someone's court... |

A woman should always work with her biological clock, that's the honest truth and we've to be very realistic. Once you're 20, be intentional about every of your relationships. Don't date for fun, date who you can marry; someone that is acceptable to you and your folks. And incase fate is unkind, you're already 35+ and no man, go the second wife or third wife route. Because from age 30, your fertility is declining. 3 Likes |

Anyahuruagu: You're very very very wrong on this. Well, it shows how myopic and shallow your thinking is though, so I can't blame you. If not you would know that happiness is a very personal and intentional choice which isn't dependent solely on external factors. There are numerous married people who are worse than miserable while there are equal number of single people who are genuinely happy. The truth is, as a human, if you're waiting for a husband, wife or kids to make you happy, then you're on a long thing, because if you're not a happy person without them, even with them you'll continue to be joyless all your life, it's that simple! That why I wonder why some ttc women bother themselves so much to the point of depression. If they knew the stress (financial, emotional, psychological etc) and pain that comes with childbirth and care, if not fully prepared for, you would wish to remain childless. Don't get me wrong, children are great to have, but if not well prepared for, the misery is worse than being childless. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The counsel to avoid teenage pregnancy is not the cause of your woes, teenage pregnancy couldn't have given you the happiness you seek. I advice you don't regret taking to the advice. You missed it somewhere probably because you did not align with God, you kept fornicating in the name of dating. It's not too late. Start a relationship with God by repenting of your past deeds and accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour. God can and will fix your life. Invite me to your wedding that will take place soon. |

duyox2004:In life, destiny is real no matter what we do. We can do little or nothing to change our destiny. No matter how hard we try, some people will never get married not because they are bad, but because it is their destiny. You can still freeze your remaining eggs or use surrogate or go the adoption route, what's important is make sure you fulfill your destiny here on earth before you depart by making impact, helping lives, lifting souls, changing lives with whatever little you have and be at peace with your inner being. With social media, internet, and more economic hardship due to population explode, more people will end up single for life, that's the saddest reality. Many young men are shying away from marriage due to financial lack, the ladies aren't helping matters by placing high priority on financial buoyancy as prerequisite for an eligible bachelor, many guys are going into crime hence more will end up in prison for life, terrorism is wasting so many able men, thereby reducing the population of men who would have married our beautiful ladies. So the factors against marriage today are huge. 4 Likes 1 Share |

duyox2004: My advice for you is quite simple. Be kind, be good, be humble and most importantly, be God-fearing. The right man will surely come. Just be open and be right. About pregnancy, just believe it will happen for you. Afterall, apart from Sarah that we all read in the Bible, there recent testimonies of women who still had their babies even when many, including themselves had gone from menopause to menostop but God said, no and that theirs is menocontinue. Never loose your hope and faith in God cos with Him, all things are possible. But going back to marriage and companionship, that's entirely up to you and your character. Mould yourself right, be done with all those feminism stop, embrace humility and submission. Be ready to do your part. I am not saying it will be easy but I can bet you it will be worth it cos I know no man finds a good woman as portrayed in proverbs 31, and will never hold on to her or sing her praise but don't let that praise change who you ought o be. Lastly, which I don't really don't talk about because many misunderstand this but salient truth is women must learn to share. Yes, women must learn to share with other women their men. Many tend to disagree or outright condemn this but honestly, I don't see anywhere in God's word that is against sharing. Many don't understand how this helps so much if we walk from the position of love, obedience and fear of God and now, when I begin to expound on that, it will be endless but know this, if you can do without marrying, there is nothing wrong about it. It's a choice and you can still live a fulfilled life making positive impacts on others, especially children. There are so many children who don't have someone to call their own, you can become their own and as long as you are a good woman, you will be fine with them. If that's not what you want and you wish to have your own family, there is nothing wrong with it. Just be patient and still mould yourself right, if you do that, your man will come and you will have your children and you will be able to impact your family with your wonderful character in amazing and God fearing ways that will have a ripple effect on their own world but then again, should you find yourself in a position of sharing your man, don't be afraid either. As long you Building yourself right, you still live a fulfilled live that speaks your name till end of time. Hope I make sense. 1 Like |

Zeinymira: But seriously, how does this work? That a woman will get to a certain age and become desperate for marriage. Reason I'm asking is because of the plethora of men vying for her attention in her youth. I mean even if she doesn't see her type/spec/standard of man, then there must be something closer: "that is if she's interested in marriage oh". Honestly, I find this hard to believe. 1 Like |

pocohantas:Hmmmm! I should have explained better. Your statement is actually true. See eh, 36 years is becoming an early age for men now to get married. And really 45 years is also becoming not a big issue again. More men are becoming comfortable staying single till 50. So, I was not even thinking about 23 to 28 years for men. That one is already premature or dad/mom is super rich, and easily set up the kids getting married. Now, the misconception I was really talking about is for Nigerian men abroad (I forgot to say this). And for the fact she mentioned Houston, that was the reason I got carried away. Most Nigerian men get married as soon as they leave Nigeria. I think only students take their time to finish school before hooking up. And more 20s leave Nigeria. So, they always get married fast. The ones that lady talked about are divorced on paper (or those born there). I kinda target women with abroad experience when I wrote that there is misconception that Nigerian men get married early. To girls western girls, Nigerian men get married early. But they dont know that we really dont cos the economy is bad. There are more men these days in their 40s still living with their parents or in their family houses where they pay no rent. Cc: duyox2004 1 Like |
