Obviously, this guy can’t read or write Igbo properly otherwise he wouldn’t be using that fan. How can someone close to him not spot the mistake or is that how they say and pronounce ‘the poor’ in Igbo.

Marriage is an achievement only for the ladies. It gives them the opportunity to dump their problems on their husbands.

You see even a jobless lady running her mouth anyhow for her husband who has to go out even under the rain to make money lest hell would be let loose by jobless madam.

If not for the love of children, many men would not get married and even those who mistakenly marry would run out in a short while. But children are something else! Once they are there a man is greatly motivated to work harder and make more money to keep them taken care of and happy.

People like to deceive themselves that marriage is about companionship, but that is never the case. Many men would rather prefer the company of friends than that of women.

Please show me one wealthy man today in the world that became successful without a woman?

In Nigeria today, I can bet that 80% of finances in homes today are from the woman in the house, politicians exempted.

Please stop peddling false narratives here, if you don't want to get married simply and quietly remain single.

Wait make you reach 50 , every rope you see will look like a suicide instrument, you don't know what loneliness does to the human mind, try and live in iceland or Denmark for 5 years alone
You do realize this is the 21st century right? You don't need to be married or have kids to curb loneliness,just because someone is lonely doesn't mean they are alone. You could be in the midst of people and still feel lonely

Na marry you marry, don't come and be disturbing those who are not married. Just because you marry today does not mean you are better than those who are not married.

Please do not let your friend wedding oppress you, some married people are suffering and smiling. They will not tell you that the wife they marry na Jezebel associate or a runs girl or the husband they marry is a womanizer or an abusive man. They will do one big wedding today, then 9 months or 3 years later they divorce.

Personally I enjoy weddings because I can eat some correct food.

If your people are asking when are you getting married? Tell them when you do not want marry a Jezebel or a wicked or selfish man. Because after the wedding, you are on your own.

Na so they arrange one woman from village for me to marry, I just dey laugh and ignore. I enjoyed my bachelorhood, please let me enjoy my life. I do not want problem.

Marry when you want marry, do not let anyone pressure you to marry or who you will marry.
It's an achievement. Don't downplay what others have but you don't have. That's a witchcraft spirit

Lol

This is sentimental talk from societal brainwashing.

I wish you saw the pains and disgust in the eyes of the so-called early planters who can hardly man-up to their so-called responsibilities

I hope you know how much a cup of garri, rice and beans is today as you're preaching your open-ynash sermon �. No de bite yourself o.

Respect by nature? Hahahaha...how?

Respect by society? Lols...don't have the capacity to provide for your family and let's see what the same society will say about you...otiku respect.

And who even made this an achievement? Society! The same hypocrite society that will lynch on you! Toooor....

Shying away from responsibility...which responsibility? Who mandated the responsibility? Who is society? If not a band of people who feel this is right and that is wrong.

Abeg mek person hear word jhare.

you sound like a pained person. Don't deceive yourself bro. Marriage is an achievement. It distinguishes MEN from Boys. A married man of 25 years with a kid is more respected by nature and the society and more honourable to God than a 40yrs old man still jumping from one skirt to the other shying away from responsibility. Get that into your fragile skull.

Your heading and your write up are saying two different things. If you are concerned the way some married folks like to flaunt the fact that they are married or the fact everyone keeps asking "are you married" and putting unnecessary pressure on you, that's understandable. But to say marriage isn't an achievement, you didn't give any point to support that claim

Statistically proven! Married men cheat a lot than single men! So what you are talking is practically meaningless!

A high percentage of men are not happy deep down in Their marriage life and wish to be single


I know your type! Once you see a 16yrs old girl you quickly develop an election undecided

Marriage is for the propagation of the species and to ensure controlled population. Think about it.

You marry so that you can breed kids. You stay married and are expected to be faithful to your spouse. Else, you would be at liberty to sire children with multiple spouses as many as possible. There's only so many children a single woman can give birth to. Men stay fertile all the way to old age. Without the institution of marriage, many men would have over 100 children walking around.

Any other reason is totally useless and born out of sentiments and societal expectations. Is it companionship you seek? That's what family and friends are for? Is it constant sex? There's brothels for that. Someone to split the bills? Get a roommate




Omo this one make sense o

Dont be deceived! Dont judge marriage with badnews in some marriage. Marriage is an achievement because you will feel fulfilled with a good partner and lovely children.

The issue is that in Africa where majority of the young men see marriage as an achievement, they spend their youthful days thinking and working for marriage.
Hence once they get married, they feel fulfilled and have no future ambition.

Mainwhile, their counterparts in Europe and America who are not passionate about marriage are daily thinking of how they will break new grounds in business and science.
For them, marriage can even be neglected if it will become a hindrance to their carrier.

Out of these two categories of youths, which did you think will be more successful in this world?

Marriage is a big achievement. You can't have a subset unless you have a set. I.e,you have to be complete in almost all ramifications before thinking of marriage,getting and staying married.
It's not for Cowards and incomplete people but for perfect builders and forgivers.

Marriage is an achievement but it doesn't distinguish men from boys. There's no hard and fast rule to it. Are there no married men who don't give a dime for family upkeep? Are you telling me that there are no married men jumping from one skirt to another? Was the late Ataga not married when he was sleeping with chidinma, a school girl young enough to be his daughter? so he was "responsible" and respected by God because he was married?Keep all this responsibility bullshiit for one side as if marriage automatically confers on a man or woman the status of a god.

Which one is "carrier"?

Marriage is an achievement anywhere in the world. There are many successful married men and women in Africa and in the west so I don't know where you got your theory from that marriage hinders professional success

Marriage is for things that you say it isn't for. The fact that certain people use it the wrong way doesn't change it's purpose. That's why the late Myles Munroe said "when purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable". Don't blame marriage for not working. Blame people for not knowing the purpose of marriage. Someone like you doesn't understand it's purpose. By the time you get in and start failing, you will start blaming the marriage

Hmmmm, Marriage is one of the greatest accomplishment of every living things on earth according the plans of God for man.

Firstly, The bibles says he who find a wife has found a good thing and obtain favor from the Lord. What is more in this word that favor of God?. The only ceremonial event Jesus ever attended and merry on earth was the wedding in Canaan.

The first marriage on earth created the world we currently live in.

Therefore, if you are privileged to find the Gods woman for you life do not hesitate to do the right thing as commanded by God.

Note: Marriage is not meant for everyone same where everyone cannot become the Governor or President.

Thanks you all

Making money is the greatest achievement that a man can attain on Earth.
Money is the horse that will carry the Cart of marriage for a man.

Hence when a man sees marriage as a priority and rushes into it without first having a good investment , he is simply puting the Cart before the horse.

Such a man is a fool before God and will not receive any favour from Him. It is the investments that you made before marriage that will receive His favour and blessings after your marriage.

In other words, God will use your wife to multiply those investments of your youth.
