Have you ever heard of common law marriage? Many people in Nigeria practice it, but I guess they don't even understand what it means.

As long as you are living with a man or woman and doing what a husband and wife do, then you are married albeit not legally.

ibibiofirstlady:
Unfortunately, your definition of "single" is not appropriate. You probably meant "unmarried". Any lady with a partner (Boyfriend or Fiance) or any man with a partner is NOT single, she/he may be best described as UNMARRIED. A single person is one who is yet to commit to another, once a person is committed to another, he/she ceases to be single.

the guy is dumb and people are praising him, how can you say a man in a relationship is single, you can only say he is unmarried.
Even in Bible there is courtship before marriage

Don’t be deceived pls!

People who are married and they did not give birth, are single too. True or False?

Proserpina:
Lol

If official documents there's no column for "engaged" "in a relationship " so technically op is correct.

if you are judging by that, it also means in the suppose law traditional marriage is invalid too.
Oyibo no fit change tradition and word of God

This explains the level of intelligence of most Nigerians, no insult intended.

"In legal definitions for interpersonal status, a person who is single is an individual not in a romantic relationship, married, or part of a civil union."

You forgot to add “ I have a baby for him “ madam you are still single

This is your experience, let people have theirs. Your lifestyles does not indicate the focal point of what life should be for everyone. All these useless stories everyday..

You are married sef
You are still single

What you just explained here is called DOUBLE

we have:

SINGLE
DOUBLE
UNMARRIED

Thanks

The irony of this post is that many married people wish they were single or/and are living as single

Dey whine urself

All these single-married-single-married topics never end. I just hope this low-hanging fruit is not the dominant topic on the mind of an average Nigerian.

Doing introduction isn't marriage

spiceadole:
Very true.

I remember on my introduction day, an aunt asked me "where does your husband live?"
I replied "I am not yet married oh. I'm still single". Everybody including him laughed.

I get really surprised when I see /hear unmarried people say they are not single simply because they are in a relationship.

Exactly.....

You have 4 kids for him but he has not paid your bride price or taken you to the registry, Omo you are still single😅😂

You can still be married and be single.

But the Toto mileage no dey read single Sha....

Yes. Make sure you do it very moderately.too much of it is harmful. If you can, stop it.

If u are a broke man avoid getting ladies pregnant or marrying them
If you are a man wey guide you can get a lady pregnant but make sure say u try dey within range no let the source dry too much
If u are an upcoming man doing well for ur self avoid keeping many women..that's distraction
If u are a man who has what it takes to marry and cater for a woman avoid jobless...skillless and ambitionless women..women who do 10 ajo with no job.
If u are an upcoming man doing well for himself who married a professional lady who earn well but proud dump her and take ur kids if u have any.

ManknowThyself:
It is good to be single and be free!!!!!!!!

Till you meet the right but not perfect partner to bond for marriage.


Many years together, cohabiting and engagement does not guarantee marriage.

Empathy, Commitment and fidelity about your past years is the foundation.


A man can have 10 girlfriends but yet haven’t considered one good enough to be his wife.

Men will do anything to wife a woman of integrity, respect, fidelity and empathy.

Your second paragraph amuses me. Never allow that enter your books, for the sake of your sanity.

Cum4me:
Getting married is not a good thing for broke man in this Nigeria. We should stop deceiving ourselves. Marriage is another level of death trap for a broke man. It even worse if a broke man married a broke woman that is a low key Olosho. You go talk Waka

Where broke man wan see unbroke woman marry?

Na man gas marry woman abeg when we go reach that level wey woman go dey marry man nahh. Groom don dey get price o

You are single until ,you enter problem . 🤣🤣

yemre:

LOL

Don’t let that amuse you cos I can only bond with my soulmate for marriage. Only my soulmate can inspire me to take that road of forever commitment.

I know the woman to marry immediately seeing her physically for who she is.

Nobody except God is perfect.

Now till then I’m free as air.

TechBaron:
What's the big deal about being married?

Been married for almost a decade and I don't really see what the big deal is about it.

It amazes me when people assume getting married is some sort of achievement or some superior social status.

If being single makes you happy, be damn single.

If living together without any sort of commitment is what you guys want and agree to do, then do the damn thing!

Just do whatever makes you happy!

almost a decade too but getting married to the right person make a whole lot of difference, i achieved alot because of our partnership, she is my bestfriend, we go clubbing together, if she hold game pad she fit beat you even my friends dey fear to play her lol, we not perfect issues come and go, challenges of life also throws itself in between, but the friendship we both created keep things going

Marriage is not a guarantee of absolutely anything.
And freedom is a very relative thing.
My girlfriend is taken not because she’s married to another man, but because she’s in a relationship with me.

"Taken" does not mean "Married".
Your girlfriend is still single.

She is married.And taken.
