You can't find any sensible defence to state against your foolish statement of achievement except to call me what your lineage is? grin grin grin grin grin grin

So, now, you don realise you were a cretin to argue marriage was an "achievement"?

In the same Nigeria where your mates' achievements are to create apps that solves problems and raising over $30m of investor money? Your own foolish lineage are saying marriage is your achievement? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

I have realised so many of my friends and colleagues at over 30 years are still single, this doesn't use to be the case.
THERE ARE 3 CATEGORIES OF REASONS OP..
- Many people above 30 are ready to get married but marriageable ladies few for this country, awon fvkbabes na dem plenty pass - they just want your money and your surname to pull up to societal standards.

- The other set of people still don't think they are ready yet - Truth be told, Nigeria is a shithole, marrying on a 50k salary is a setup, and now 100k salary earners are getting affected. A chick once told me, our forefathers, her parents etc did not marry rich, they started from somewhere. Na Setup o grin Most of them can't endure what those women endured back then.

- There are some few people who don't feel marriage is a must and so wanna do it whenever/if-ever they feel like it. - Don't get left behind, some of these people wey dey shout say Marriage na Scam don dey plan engagement for corner.

I no fit blame anybody. Naija economy dey harsh and Women of this generation are something else, so be observant, no allow love blind your eyes, and commit your relationship to God's hands.

For those naija men outside naija, it’s because they think too much and are afraid to love a woman who would use the system to defraud them legally.

For those in naija, it’s for a number of reasons. Naija babes are not loyal. They always lookout for themselves first. Once your usefulness in their lives end, they end the relationship/marriage. Men are trying to avoid that, so they remain single and opt for babymama arrangement if they need kids.

It may also be because the men intend to relocate abroad and they would rather not take their nemesis along. So they resign to a single life.

Thirdly, it could be that some men want to solve certain economic/financial issues before adding the responsibilities of a wife to the load they carry.

Everything here points to the prevalent fact that young Nigerian women do not carry their own weight. Once you ask them out, it’s like they open a ledger for you as a debtor. They use you for your resources then demand to be treated like an equal. Lol. Men are tired of slaving for women.

You see single and even married women online openly asking for trips, perks, gifts and money. It’s almost like every man owes them. You never know who is going to use his money to trigger your wife’s release clause. grin Even the faithful ones think they must be rewarded with marriage for standing by you while you were struggling. Why would any sane man want to marry such a woman who thinks she’s entitled to his possessions just because she was present while he was struggling without even contributing tangibly to his progress?

So unbalanced.

If marriage was such a sweet deal, more men would embrace it. Many of those who are married were pressured by their parents to get married or were young and blinded by initial infatuation which later faded away and revealed the true nature of their wives.

Women have turned this marriage thing into a punishment for men. It shouldn’t be so.

Men are the ones truly settling down. They settle and put up with broke, unworthy women who offer nothing but drama and the possibility of paternity fraud and strife in a family that was fine until the man brought in a wife.

Marriage should be sweet but naija women fail to realise that both partners MUST contribute to a happy marriage, not just the man.

Go to your favourite bar anywhere in naija, drink as much drink your stomach can take, then chop nkwobi, peppersoup, cat fish, accompanied with two olosho. I go pay. Just email me details if you're ready. You're too much. grin

Marriage is a burden to men, and children is a burden to women. This is why women won't sleep with any kind of man, but most men will sleep with any kind of woman. The opposite is true. Men are very selective of the kind of woman they marry, unless he is an idiot. I can't be bearing the responsibilities of marriage to a woman that increases the suffering.

Before me as a man will meet the conditions of the woman I have to marry, I must pass through so many hurdles such as having a good paying job, responsible, will have a place she will move in to after marriage, must satisfy all kinds of expenses such as weddings, honeymoon, bride price, settling her family, then start providing for her and upcoming kids until I probably die.

For women, they just move in. So why is it surprising that men are very careful with who they marry? Especially with the kind of women we have now. I personally won't pass through these hurdles for a woman that doesn't worth it, never. Lots of men are married in the past not because they like it, but society expected it. I have so many married friends and they always tell me how lucky I am to be single. Apart from the kids they they love, they just want to get out of it.

But everything I said will probably be seen as hate, or that I'm talking from an ideology, but its just common sense. Women must train themselves to look at marriage from the eyes of men, but many won't, or they can't, because what they will see will scatter their delusion, and they ain't ready to face such truth, because it requires telling yourself that you've messed up.

Because men have realised that;
1. They have alot of time from 20 to 50 years they can still marry
2. Marriage is a waste of time money and effort
3. Getting married early is a waste of your youthful age
4. The man is Mostly on the giving end in Marriage
5. Marriage favours women more than it favours men
6. They want to break the loop

I must say that all you said are correct.

Yeah, also change the mindset of having savings for tough times in Nigeria because "you are not praying to lose your job".

The foolish things people say and they strongly think they are making sense.

I dont cal it 'saving for tough times', I call it backup funds and it did have its use one time like dat that i had my phone stolen with most of my money carted away with. I stomped on my backup fund, got a new phone and moved on like nothing happened. But it did happen and i did get depressed sometimes.

Bottom line: whether it is called 'tough times savings' or 'back up fund' or 'emergency fund' or just Savings, It can never be underrated.

Finally, it is best to put your finances in God's hands o, times are hard, people are more desperate. May God continue to secure you and yours.

Don't marry them is the best thing.

You are, and would be, sacrificing for nothing.

There might be a few worth marrying, but the stress of sieving through the dirt and finding these is not worth the effort.
