Why Most Nigerian Men Fear Marrying Single Mothers by Azeemokoya: 8:20pm On Sep 27, 2023
In Nigeria, as in many parts of the world, the dynamics of relationships and family structures have evolved significantly over the years. One of the most noticeable changes is the increasing number of single mothers in society.

While this trend is indicative of the strength of women who navigate the challenges of single parenthood, it has also sparked discussions about why some men may hesitate or even fear marrying single mothers.

Take for instance, Chidi, a young professional in Lagos, confessed that he once hesitated to date a single mother because he feared what his family and friends would say.

In Nigeria, like in many other societies, there exists a certain stigma attached to single motherhood. Traditional cultural norms often place a high value on the nuclear family unit, where children are raised by both biological parents.

It's the way the society demeans a man's choice that irritates me, yikes!!! undecided...

OP...
The reason why most men don't want to marry a single mother is not because of any St.upid "fear", it's because of CHOICE!!!! undecided...

Most men don't want single mothers, PERIOD!!!!! undecided...

Y'all need to start accepting men's choice(s) in women and stop trying to demean men for having and exercising it undecided...


Personally, single mothers are a no go area for me, and my son's relationship wise undecided...

I don't care how she became a single mother, that's IRRELEVANT!!! undecided...

But as long as there's a well cultured 18 - 24year old virgin out there, I'd rather be castrated than marry a single mother AND THAT'S MY CHOICE!! undecided...

That is like saying u impregnated ur girlfriend and she born 2 pikins for u but her family came up with wahala and scater ur unionism grin cheesy

But after three years, u and ur girlfriend run go meet for faraway shagamu and continue ur unionism...

So it's still a win win for you,

But imagine Ajax Amsterdam leading Go Ahead Eagles 2:0 and Go Ahead Eagles said they are not continuing again, but same GoAhead Eagles went to FC Utretch with the 2:0 deficit/baggage and continue the match with fc utretch grin grin grin no naa

It holds....very valid


This is it, if a match abruptly stopped, let say a match in the champions league between between AC Millan and SL Benfica with benfica leading at 56min with 2:0 up but the match was stopped due to one reason or the other..

If after three days the match want to resume, its either the 2 goals lead of benfica was canceled (which hardly happens) or the match resumes at exactly the 56mins it stopped(this is what will most likely happen)


So tell me how a match will start at 00;00 with a 2:0 down against a team?? Not possible sir

Is not advisable except if the husband is dead through accident or situation beyond her control.
The reason she is a single mother is irrelevant as far as I am concerned. Single mothers are great, don't get me wrong. Some of them are victims of men's heartlessness, others made careless mistakes, while some are just victims of one thing or another, but neither of these is any of my business. I can't date a single mom, talk more of marrying one.

I don't have the energy to prove that I am a better man. I don't have the emotional strength to withstand their manipulation. I don't have the finances to raise another man's child.

Some of these women with no valid source of income will fight for custody of the child just so they can use it to source funds. "I am a single mother please help me"

If her ex-partner is an issue, that is a problem for me because I will need to prove that I am better before she can be committed. If she was the problem in the relationship, then she is still a problem. Forget how nicely she treats you; being nice to you and being a nice person are not the same.

She will love the child from the previous relationship more than the ones she will have with you.

I just can't deal.

If I end up a single dad, then I want women to avoid me. I personally will avoid them until I have raised my kids into adulthood because a second wife will mistreat them once she starts having her own kids. She will turn the girl into her slave, and the boy will suffer and get killed if she has her way.

I read about how a guy was complaining and analyzing why guys the age of 18-25 are single.

If young guys are single, shouldn't that mean young girls are single too? However, no body talks about them. Why?

These are just stupid ploys to make guys go for women who are the real single ones.

Singles mothers with good qualities are hardly single. Those that are single are those that are bags of problems.

They always love their 'love child" more...even the children she has for you would not be safe,cos the love child won't ever bond with them.

There is so much at stake marrying single mothers. When the relationship fails, you lose her, you lose the child by default, you lose your time and property to her, you lose your sanity. You lose on all sides. When you are together, you hear things like, "My child", from the woman when issues come up, when she invests it is for her child, not the family, you take the risk to invest in the child who may later take sides with his/her mother, it is always you against them. The risks far outweigh the benefits of marrying a single mother.

The ONLY exception is when God directs you to marry one. Such single mother will be different from the herd.

You are wise bro. I tell me, if your wife died or leaves, don't marry another. Get friends with benefits and have sex outside. Or a side chick. But don't wife another person until your kids grow up. Get a nanny who is over 60 to look after your kids if you can't do it alone. Or get a househelp and make sure not to have sex with her. If you live in a city, get a cook and cleaner who comes in the morning and leaves in the evening

Single mothers are with lots of emotional baggages that single guys shouldn't venture into for peace of mind..I don't mind single dads going for single mothers.even women who have dated several men might av been damaged emotionally and become highly distrustful or toxic while some become less assertive for fear of them being dumped again..so not good for themselves and their new partner.

They are mostly filled with bitterness and emotional baggages from previous relationships.

You go train pikin wey no be your own with your hard earned money yet both mama and pikin go still see you as outsider.

You go even dey fear to correct the pikin.

My advise: Single mothers and single fathers should marry themselves. Each after his or her kind.. lol cool
