Hahahaha. I expected that. There was this Nairalander that opened thread saying he is looking for a wife. Less than a year later, he is now married. He came again to tell us he wants to divorce his newly wedded wife.

If you don’t have something, you’ll think na there enjoyment dey. When you have it, you go come see say e no easy. I hope you find a way to balance it out.

By the way, are you Yoruba?

I’m not asking people to get married if they are broke and can’t sustain a family.
but you are indirectly pushing them to. You are one of the problem in the society

Yes. Some of my male friends said they always planned getting married in their late 20s to early 30s, but it didn’t quite work out. I have a colleague that is 27 and he is already talking marriage. I look at him like, “you be pikin na”. He gets offended. That do I mean he is not old enough to put woman for house.

Abeg, let’s leave social media. A good and supportive spouse is gold.

** in my pastors voice"" Wonderful!

So, all you guys are saying is, the chances of having a child with down syndrome are higher with old men? Hmm... This is shockingly serious! shocked.

Let me do my research before I conclude though.cos from my observation so far, people who birthed down syndrome children are either young or middle aged people and I've never seen any aged couple with down syndrome babies.

The reason I think most men are rushing u to marriage is because of sexual gratification. Where they can do it without any restrictions or having to pay a hooker to ease themselves.
At least some guys have been able to open up to me in the past.

I married at 27. If i would do it all over again, i would prefer to marry in my late 30ies or early 40ies.

Re: Why Are Young Men In Nigeria So Desperate About Marriage by qtguru(m): 1:43pm On Nov 11, 2021
i would definitely prefer Marriage than being alone, I don't think human beings were built to be alone.

also Mutual Respect, Joint income resources and companionship.

It's just that the cost of living that makes one fear. If we were in a comfortable environment, the ideal age to marry to me would be 25 and raise kids early and enter the grave, People in Ibadan settle down much faster and live a much more comfortable life than most in Lagos.

Most men I know who married didn't have much when they got married, but they married women who were driven, that's 2 hardworking individuals in a marriage, I don't see any reason why they won't transcend their financial position. Unless we are talking about a married man with no foresight and goal and a liability. Every hardworking couple always climbs up. 2 Income Household is better than 1 my brother.

LOL SO GO & MARRY grin

I don't know why people don't get it, the babies are the responsibility here, amyother person is an outsider and you just being kind if you choose to help, for the wife and husband, they are adults who should compromise to make life bearable for one another. The only plus which is not even in all cases in Babymama/Babydaddy is that you sleep in peace and wake up to the realities of your troubles if she/he is the troublesome type. Then if you both live together in marriage or otherwise, you live and wake up to your troubles.

Excuse you!!! angry

I hope it is not Poco you are dissing with that derogatory phrase "evening newspaper" or another female for that matter, I find that very distasteful. Love her or hate her, she is a remarkable lady and her haters have got nothing on her.

I engaged with a sincere desire to understand the comment you made, I wasn't looking for mud slinging shots at others, so forget I asked.

It is EOD for me.

Allow us asslick ourselves, we enjoy it. You guys do it and call it bro-code. Just say you would prefer to see us fight, so you can rush to tell us how women are their own enemies.

I don't know if it's just me or the circle I am around but a lot of young Nigerian men are very desperate about being in a relationship or getting married. These are guys in the 24 to 29 age range. Most unemployed or earning very low salaries 30 to 50k.

They believe that marriage will chang their fate and make them really wealthy. It's quite understandable if women are crazy about marriage as they have a biological clock but a man can literally father kids at 90 if he wants to so what's the rush?

They are being brainwashed by the older people, their pastors and other types of mentors in their lives

He's Igbo, I'm not surprised. With the way he mentioned heir, I'm very sure he wouldn't mind birthing five children in the elusive search for a male child in the name of he should be the heir to my properties. Check his name on Google and nothing good comes out from the search. Just like the man in Enugu who had three girls and in the search for a "heir", his wife gave birth to quadruplets. Afterwards, he came wailing for help and support.

Stoopid people!

You are despicable.

Your posts on nairaland explains a whole lot.
I really love reading your posts when I come across them as it gives me an opportunity to see the stages of desperation in a man's life.

A casual observer can see that you are gradually unraveling and crying out for help.
I'm sure there are times you wake up suddenly at night, with a clenched stomach, knowing that life is passing you by.
There are also times you stay up all night, thinking, browsing, researching, wishing, praying, and thinking some more.
You are at the stage where you feel the need to be farther than but unfortunately, you are stuck.

Worse thing, no help in sight.
All those who have promised to help have disappointed you. Deep down, you wish, maybe, just maybe someone will see your numerous threads on nairaland and help you. You've camped permanently on the travel section for some years and still, nothing.

You are desperate because you know time is running out. Your birthday angers you because you know what it signifies. In your current desperation, you are willing to give anything. But are you willing to do anything? That remains to be seen as every human has a price.

It's really interesting to see the way Nigeria can break people down, most especially those that hate her. And you know what?

It's a beautiful thing to see. Hopefully, you get your chance but I highly doubt it as any observant person can smell the desperation from a mile away.
In the meantime, thank you for the schadenfreude and cheers to many more posts by you.

While I hate Nigeria withe very fibre of my being, I am not frustrated or desperate. My earnings every month puts me at the elite level if there's anything like that. I don't believe elitism exists in Nigeria so grin grin grin but living in Nigeria sucks but it's bearable with the kind of money I make. Besides most of my posts are in the programming section showing Nigerians the way to make more money. I can't count how many people I have mentored there who have gone to very good paying jobs. That's my own quota to reduce poverty in the zoological republic. What have you done?
