So, what makes a man single at 30 and above??! Too much Shakara??!... Because most men today, even at 40 are nowhere prepared to be husbands or heads of families.

It's not always enough to make these things about gender.

In this case, the gender differentiation is justifiable.

I pity single lady from age 28- 35, Even lady of 25 today already putting pressure on themselves wen they are not into serious relationship, many of female students in 300level already consign about the man they would Marry, when they will be totally less concerned about how they would get job after school.
I imagine pressure that family and friends would be putting on lady at age 30 to 35.

By 36 ,even family members would start giving up and leave her alone for her destiny.

-My second wife was 32 when I married her, and she was a virgin (the most important marriage criteria). If a woman is 35 but still have her god-of-marriage intact, then you can give her a go. A virgin woman in her 30s have something in her personality that will be valuable for your matrimony. However, 40 and above is not for me except for partnership.

-Good luck to young people looking for a wife/husband, you will all need it.

Too much shakara will make them single at 30
Unfortunately, like in the US where they have the "American Dream", Nigeria also has "The Nigerian Dream".
Job, house car, marriage...
It's the men that should get the Job, house and car... Then pick the woman and marry.
The women are not seeing this happening from the men they know.
In fact the men are all hustling and just barely managing.
-
The solution is just to lower expectations and accept that we live in shitty times, despite all the internet and computers.
And just marry a decent hardworking guy regardless of what property he has or not.

Do women still marry under 30? I haven't seen any in a long while. Seems the average age of marriage for a woman is now 30 to 35 and men is between 35 to 40.

The modern woman doesn't marry as early anymore, most women want to graduate and settle in their career before getting married. This has also caused an increase in the birth of special needs children. All my opinion and observations.

Pls how does it cause giving birth to special children? Thanks

DO Jiji ADS WORK for gadgets like phones and laptops?

Is the VIP advert package worth paying for on Jiji?

I'll advice you to post your ads on Facebook Marketplace and other Facebook "Buying & Selling" groups.


These Jiji people will frustrate you after making payment, and might not eventually activate your ad(s).


I give you my piece based on my recent experience with them.

Actually, it's never justifiable in any case...

Whenever a man marries late (or early), it's his choice and preference, but for a woman, it has to be down to her poor character (mostly arrogance). Such thinking is beyond archaic and obtuse.

Whether for biological (mostly child-bearing) or otherwise, no one (man or woman) should be age-shamed or blackmailed into matrimony.

Marriage is too serious and complicated a matter for anyone to jump into out of peer or societal pressure.

A lady @30 and not married? You're a failure; a failure you're; and a failure you'll remain.

You're neither beautiful nor have good manners. Your family probably has a history of mentally unstable people. Kiss the truth.

If you like commit suicide after reading my comment. It will only get this beautiful world rid of one social failure.

You need to read this, if you are still pressurized at 30. There's more to life than just getting married. Many women are suffering today because they didn't prepare themselves adequately for the task ahead. They thought marriage is a bed of rose, where relaxation comes, after the struggles in their single years.

You cannot pressure the unpressured.

If you cower under one nonsense pressure and end up marrying a 'horseband' (as a woman), or a 'knife' (as a man)... Na you go cry taya! And that society or whoever that pressured you, na them go still come back begin dey blame you, even mock you on top.

Ur second wife? U said it all! You think she is* happy with choice she made eventually?

When u re the one at the center of controversy, you feel the pressure the most.


Ask her how she felt before she finally agreed to settle less with you. I biliv she would have almost cursed almighty for good decision she made about herself.

Though, I still thank God for the life of ur 2nd wife ooo.

Most educated ladies nowadays, get married when they are over 30... This seems to have become the norm these days.

I don't see any big deal in it... In several years to come, cohabitation will largely replace marriages.

A lot of the ones in marriage are either enduring or considering Divorce.

African culture is fast degrading in most areas including the areas of matrimony and home-making.

Yeah, right.


A woman attaining spectacular career success increases the probability of her divorcing her husband.

Why?

Because when her status in the macro hierarchy rises, it increases the probability that she will attain status higher than her husband‘s, thereby cause her attraction to her husband to die because he no longer appeals to her hypergamy.


Men, if your wife suddenly gets a promotion at work, that increases the probability of her divorcing you.


If a husband‘s income is higher than his wife‘s income, the probability of divorce is low.


If a husband‘s income is lower than his wife‘s income, the probability of divorce is high.


Income is a proxy for ‘Status in the Macro Dominance Hierarchy‘.

At 30, hardly you see a girl who uses condom...

Especially when the guy is single, has a car and his rented apartment... the intention is to get pregnant...while the guy is busy cumming inside thinking she will take contraceptive, she will be busy with pregnancy test kit every morning

don't be scared of your age. i can see the fear in you, you are going to 31 now now man coming for your hand in marriage or relationship, thinking about the old days you dished those who came for you, how you rejected them. you wished God can turn back time so you can say yes again. but guess what, nope. enjoy your single life.
Bitter truth @bold
A lot of ladies always think there is this perfect man waiting for them, not knowing they just rejected their husband. Mothers seriously need to guide their daughters btw ages 22 to 28 yrs. That is the age range most females miss their husband & once they miss it, it is very hard to find a replacement, 35 yrs will hit them within the blink of an eye.

Opening a topic like this shows you are also scared grin. Regardless of all the wishes and prayers. Reality is fewer men will be able to afford marriage these days. With the western world influence on southerner Nigeria via media and internet . Many ladies will also have unrealistic expectations. They want weddings of 10m to 15m in a country where many earn less than 50k. Nothing like its not my portion. It can be your portion. Just live ya life if husband comes fine, if he no come find alternatives like linda ikeji run am or adoption

The sad reality😂
