Well, in my own opinion I think being single has a lot of benefits than being married.
Keep deluding yourself. It will not last forever before reality bites.

In general, stability, support, companionship, love, societal respect.

August Meeting.

A respectable voice in family meetings and outright qualifications to contest for political positions.

A good parental figure to your children.

Due respect from Religious Institutions.

Having a talkmate and lifetime friend.

Going home to meet your children and wife.

Being a Mentor or Idol to your one or all of your children.

Raising more mentally stable and socially resposible children.

The list is endless, Never underestimate the benefits of marriage.

But I am not saying that majority of the present day Nigerian Men /Women can make you achieve this, just source for the few ones.

Free access to sex with a nigerian woman you are dreaming. Check some nairaland trade where men are crying that their wives want them to pay for sex. Their wives are not giving them sex, Nigerian women are all the same piece of shit prostitute mentality
i have seen a wife telling his husband that everything he is doing for her is for the Bleep she gives her at night!! Can you imagine such statement.
Re: What Benefits Do Married Persons Enjoy Better Than Single People? by Ijoba85: 3:36pm On Mar 25, 2022
Haba , she can't be that worse now . If she doesn't like sex , she must know how to cook and vice versa if not the marriage has ended ever before it started
wallrichy:
How about if the wife dislike sex and doesn't know how to cook very well? Really, there's no much difference or enjoyment between married guy and single guy. Infact, single have a lot to achieve than married. Marriage is just a symbol that says you are responsible even though that responsibility symbol is a secret that can't be let out.

Well, I like the way you put it because bills must be paid.

So this is how I'm seeing it now:

If given the option of having a baby mama or having a wife, I will choose having a baby mama.

It's all about choosing your preferred hell.

Marriage is the hell which I'd rather steer clear from.
Your plans are not out of place. My arguments for marriage are deeply rooted on religious grounds. Outside religious and maybe moral reasons, I don't see why anyone should be getting married.

My brother my concern is not about those that are unhappy. Am talking about those who are happy with their marriage.

Marriage is a personal experience so don't generalise. Am a happy married man with kids and I been to poor and rich stage in my marriage and not at any point did it change the love we have as a family.

Like I pointed to another guy above, your inability to find a wife is your personal problems
Oh so you think I am not married.

You are really funny

If your concern is not about those that are not happy.
Then you have no advice to give at all

I have counseled many unhappy in marriage, and have given them succor

If you can't offer helpful advice to those going through stuffs then you have absolutely nothing to give

Why is it so for them?
It's not easy living with the same person day in day out. The love fades over time, it is friendship that keeps it going.
Then coupled with kids expenses and wahala.
And naija economy isn't helping at all.
So many reasons sha.

Okay that's the thing... Try read my comment over and over maybe you will understand my point. I said my concern is not about you or those who isn't happy in their marriage... My comment is about those who are.

You being married and not happy is your personal doing I can't take advice counselling in my marriage.

You just don't get it do you.

I respect your line of thought, but if you live in the western world, you will know such narrative holds no water....at most 50mls of water.
Go to care homes in the western world, ask some men about their family....for some they are just single people that enjoy their live in their hey days, knowing they will be feeble and frail at old age, and are proud of the memories they had without any regrets of their choice of being single.

For some, they are abandoned by their supposed family to the mercy of carers at the homes,,some even harbour regrets ever marrying, because it contributed majorly toward bringing them to the carehome, especially when they are not old enough.

One that struck me, this man's daughter kept malice with him till his death. He was so worried and in pains, but helpless because he is in his twilight. Pained man. My brother know pray make you marry woman wey go poison your own children mind against you ooo...na for people mouth you go dey hear say your pikin dey america or london because you are completely shut off their tracks..


My point is, even at old age...you could still feel isolated, abandoned and die a painful and regretful death even-though you married or had kids in your hey days.

One most important thing is, if you decide not to marry or have kids....channel the productive part of your life towards building pillars you can bank on when the sun goes down on you.
Very true. I agree with your views. And yes, my view is based on the Nigerian context. We live in a society where everyone expect the children to be responsible for their parents. Government don't give a f**k about the elderly here. Not sure I have ever read any policy or seen a lawmaker propose a law that affects them. The only time we remember them is election time, where politicians share their usual "sacrifice" in exchange for people's conscience.

We have some carehomes in Lagos (even got a business plan prepared for a client somewhere in Nigeria) but they don't come cheap. Those who can afford carehomes in Lagos can as well buy a property and get a permanent house-help.

A lot prefer to return to their village as soon as they retire. Reason is not farfetched by the way. Villages are by far the only place you can find people with good conscience. I don't want to imagine that we have old people driving in Lagos traffic or jumping from one BRT to another. The thought is terrifying. Trying to imagine a confrontation between a 75 year old man and a bus conductor, or a conversation between a Lagos realtor/agent and a 75 year old man looking for sef-con. Some of these people are heartless and don't care. It's worse when you have no one to speak or fight for you.


Lol! Let's just pray and work harrrd. With or without family, everyone should prepare a good structure. Age 60-90 is usually full of regrets, mistakes. Many of these mistakes are irreversible.

Why won't I quote a very utopian, pipe dream scenario.

Very many marriages I have encountered have gone through hell and high waters and still came out stronger

That's those that have encouraging stories to tell others

Of course I am so much enjoying mine

I was awake for hours last night trying to figure out what the married enjoys that the single people do not.

I couldn't come up with anything logical or cogent points at all.

I now understand the reason why a lot of persons have chosen to stay single for as long as possible without plans of getting married.
