I get your submission, and it's true. I will take a bit of a tangent to address the problem from a personal responsibility point of view.

A man/woman cannot give what they don't have. How many have taken out time to study about marriage, a man, a woman, love making, communication, career growth etc? Just to name a few. We live in a country where we don't appreciate information from the little things to advance concepts like rockets and space exploration, very few Nigerians do, hence the paucity of worthy success references.

I was watching a podcast this evening and the speaker was saying modern arrange marriages outlives marriages built on falling in love at first by a good percentage, why? Because an arranged marriage brings at it's core COMMITMENT, and so both partners have an orientation to make things work, accept each other's weaknesses and are willing to commit to the growth of the other person and themselves. This does not negate the fact that love at first doesn't work, but emotions don't see people through difficult times commitment does, and so of that's at the core of the relationship them possibly it may last.

My submission is this, we need a constant studying of finding out from ourselves to our partners and what will make the relationship improve, people just go about with what they're told or what society seems to recognize, not knowing there's a superior way of living, if they'll find out.

I believe the beauty of any love relationship is when two willing people commit to each other and are willing to improve the dynamics of that relationship at all LEVELS via communication and information while also having the maturity to resolve conflict in a constructive manner.

To butress the op, Nigerian men lacked empathy. Empathy ll place them in the position of not questioning a lady that they are dating or married about finances, gifts, sex etc.
They don't realise that relationship is responsibility. They ll say what your father can't give you, you dey ask from me.
Why you come toast me (woo)?
As I come gree, am I not entitled to your resources?
They also lacked empathy of hurting their wives or female partners deliberately with cheating. They don't put themselves in women's shoe that how ll I feel if she's the one cheating?
Abeg make I no tok talk in order not to be misquoted. 😂 😂 😂😂😂😂😂💕💕😘😘😘😘😂
The violence is needed for cleansing of the minds of the reprobate dirty boys here that can't feed themselves but talk anyhow here against females.

[i]"Marry a typical Nigerian Man at your own peril"

When I type these words, it's not from a place of hate towards men ( I don't hate anybody) It is from careful analysis of marriages to Nigerian Men which mostly lack genuine love, empathy and kindness. Nigerian Marriages are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. Too systematic and unnatural and the one with the highest bargaining chip gets the most benefit.

Our mothers didn't teach us enough about Men. They didn't know either until they got married, unfortunately they are still learning about Men too. That is why the popular saying "Ile oko ile eko ni" (Your husband house is a school) is usually the soothing balm to unfavourable experiences a wife has with her husband. One question I always ask myself when I hear these words as parting words of advice for young wife is. Does that mean she is getting married into a strange,unknown and possibly unfavourable world? Why represent her husband as an unending course? And will she ever graduate and be relieved of painful lessons?. Ask these women these questions and they will shake their heads in mockery but the truth is, They weren't taught enough about the Men they are getting married to. How would they when they didn't know who they are either. To understand another person there must be a certain level of self awareness you have reached yourself. This way you have enough level of intelligence to be a perfect judge of character. But when a woman believe all she needs to be is a good cook and good konji reliever then all she will seek is a man who has Kitchen and bed.


Men are the worst in this joke of an institution. Configured to believe all they need to posses is Financial ability to provide. The upbringing of the typical Nigerian Man is very very wrong. Trained with little to no empathy,kindness, self care, sense of belonging, self love but burdened with sense of responsibility brought up like a robot to "provide" only. Most Nigerian men are robotic minded, unable to connect emotionally without aide yet this men are expected to naturally see their brides as a part of themselves. Wishful thinking if you ask me. And when some men luckily achieve this, the society (Men and Women) mock him. Aside this, they don't readily know what they want and are easily tossed by the society.

We create a society devoid of emotional engagement but want the benefits emotions birth. Compassion and affections brings liberty, a man who lacks these will see his wife as his slave and property, he gets to do with her what he seem best and not what is good for her. We really have a long way to go as a Society.

Stop generalizing.


If you make mistake as a lady and use wrong criteria and greed or youthful exuberances and make the wrong choice of man, don't use your own predicament to judge for other amazing ladies enjoying heaven on earth in their marriages to amazing men they accepted as husbands.



I speak as a proud amazing husband to a wonderful lady.


My wife always prays for me and always say it that she prays to marry me again in next life if there is next life. she also pray that our little daughter finds a worthy man like her dad when she is ripe for marriage.



I provide 100% financial security.

Despite my busy schedule and considering my financial status, I still spoon feed our babies and also babysit them even when we have baby minders and nanny for them. We also have a live in help but I don't care I still take care of my kids whenever I can.


So pray for a good man and stop being too stubborn and pessimistic about finding a great man. Be positive, pray and wear good character, humility and respect as a clothe and God will give you the best

Thank you Oga Francis.

Sorry about the generalization, can I say 99.9% men?

yrhuhfy113:


wow, awesome... you are right and have a strong point
A very compeling piece of idea about Nigerian men... sadly its true but wholistically its myopic.


I am not here to make a CASE for men... i acknowledge your expressed thoughts as reality but as INCOMPLETE.

SEE, MEN ARE NOT LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY... We are only LOVED BY MERIT, RAISED AS HUNTERS TO COMPETE AND PROVIDE else we are not competent.

THE THINGS YOU MENTION WE LACK ARE ACTUALLY NOT LACKING BUT SURPRESSED BY THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE WE HAVE LIVED THROUGH....


Let me explain... EVEN on the case of wooing or getting a LADY for sex or marriage... LADIES GENERALLY FEEL SAFER WITH A RICH DUDE, THAN A CARING, EMPATHETIC S.O.B. Whyyy because the COUNTRY IS HARD.... and Ladies think of the FUTURE ALOT.
So after being drilled by our parents to always COME FIRST IN CLASS, and being punished for not coming first or not outdoing others.... we now enter a tetiary institution where only the BEST GRADUANDS are assured of jobs or connections... so we have to compete, hustle for money and do everything possible to be among those who thrive or survive.. AFTER YEARS OF LIVING AS A SURVIVOR.... we now marry, with HOOOOOGEE responsibilities, wife and kids... most likely WIFE HAS NOTHING DOING OR EARNS LITTLE YET FEELS ENTITLED TO BE TREATED LIKE A QUEEN.... Then we should let down our GUARD and still be as caring, as emotionally sensitive, as all that you women want us to be??
C'mon sis... YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL.

Marry unambitious men from other countries who are not living in the same terrible conditions we have had in NIGERIA... they have emotions to spare, because THEIR FINANCIAL SYSTEM WORKS and is DEPENDABLE... not here. So you can't come here and GENERALIZE, when majority of your GENDER.... WILL CHOOSE SIX CARS OVER SIX PACKS. Pls... have some balance.

Little wonder why MEN are no longer interested in MARRIAGE... because it has become like an orphanage, so baby mama is now what many opt for, so as to retain their freedom. Ladies wanting EVERYTHING yet offering so little JUST BECAUSE THEY EXIST, is the highest form of lowkey witchcraft ever.

ALL MEN ARE NOT THE SAME, ALL WOMEN ARE NOT THE SAME..... MARRIAGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE..... BUT MONEY IS IMPORTANT TO ALL.

Persephone1:
Okay! I will respond to this, other mentions are from narrow-minded lots who can't deal with the fact that every being ( man or woman ) has freedom of choice and desire.

1) You are right, I have attentively analyzed the Nigerian marriage system and I do not like it. I am from the most liberal tribe in Nigeria but I still do not find the "give and take" systematic structure of marriages pleasing enough. This is from a place of personal preference.

2) Lol you are wrong there, that they do not meet my expectations do not mean I think low of them . There are some same ones but when it comes to relationships most have a lot to learn. Starting with emotional intelligence, did you read a thread where a guy shouted at his suicidal girlfriend and hung up on her because according to him"she didn't say what was wrong with her"? Well, girlfriend ended up killing herself. Now lack of sensitivity and emotions with partners is something common with Nigerian men, it is why a husband would not notice a change in his wife's mood or body until she is admitted to the hospital. I have seen lots of cases and I don't find them pleasing at all.

3) I get your drift. Nevertheless, both couples should learn about each other. On submission and head, I don't have an issue with that as long as the leadership isn't autocratic or dictatorship or the submission isn't subversive.

4) Good, hopefully, this will continue and soon enough all marriages will be enjoyed not endured.

5) In the Western world there's hardly discrimination of roles. Couples understand their weakness and strength and complement one another. They share roles according to ability and willingness, you may never come across gender roles with them. And when there is it comes with different forms of support that ensures none is burdened. But here you see people saying it is the job of a man to provide any which way ( even if he is limited) while a seven-month pregnant wife must take care of the home any which way. A very toxic system if you ask me.

6) Analyze the shortcoming of both genders in marriage and you will realize which gender has the most redemption and restitution to do. I have written it here once, a Nigerian lady has only financial dependency syndrome to deal with if she's to date or marry outside her race while Nigerian men have so much more to correct. If Nigerian women travel more, they will be hot cake out there, because they are very homely and lovely. But Nigerian men are trained to be money bags which in the long run does not meet long-term commitment standards.

Although there are some black sheep most marriages fail when the woman gets tired of enduring in Nigeria.
