Most times the parents of these ladies poisons their mind. Like the one I know of, the dad said she shouldn't marry the man because he couldn't speak fluent English

All those things matter a lot. You need to marry someone that is very presentable, out spoken and a diligent fellow.

The only two valid reasons i know is

1) if he doesnt have money

2) if he is not sexually active undecided
Re: Funny Reasons Nigerian Ladies Turn Down Marriage Proposal From Guys by Nobody: 3:26pm On May 18, 2015
humilitypays:


Below are the reasons:

1. Religion: in as much as I believe in partners sharing same religious belief, it becomes worrisome for a girl to reject a marriage proposal from her boyfriend or new man simply because he is not of the same religious denomination with her.

E.g. A girl who attends Winners Chapel turning down a guy because he attends Redeem, Assemblies of God, Jehovah's witness, etc.

I can understand Aisha, a Muslim girl turning down Tunde or Emeka a Christian, but Tina turning down James or Peter who share same Christian religious faith with her but different denomination sounds funny to me.

Complex one this...but theological disagreements have derailed many an interdenominational marriage.


2. Community or State of origin:
As funny as it may sound, many won't believe that so many single ladies are still single today not entirely because quality single men aren't coming to ask their hands in marriage, but because they keep turning guys from other communities and States down while waiting for a Prince Charming from their hometown or state of origin.

I don't object to this....after all it is better to stay within a culture you are familiar with....not the one where ''My people do this....no...it is wrong''. Still, point taken.

I have noticed that this is more common amongst Anambra ladies, and whenever I hear such, I just shake my head because while these single ladies are busy waiting for Nnamdi, Emeka, Uche from their community or State, Emeka, Nnamdi and Uche are getting married to girls from far states like- Osun, Oyo, Benue, Kogi...and the ladies keep waiting for them, it sounds funny to me.

Anambra babe do jilt una? grin


3. Height: in as much as height matters in selecting a partner, some ladies seem to be so carried away by this height of a thing.

If you are up to 5ft7, marrying a man of 5ft7 or 5ft8 isn't bad at all...in fact marrying a man of 5ft6 isn't bad if he has some other great qualities....remember, height won't guarantee your happiness in marriage.

In fact, after spending some time (say 2years), the physical look of your partner may become inconsequential to you because plenty other factors will set in.

And short men don't always give birth to short offspring...if his family have a trait of tallness (if at all such word exist in English dictionary, lol), he will most likely give birth to tall children.

True talk.

I want a tall dark husband!...said the lady. Good...here is some dark clay....oya manufacture! grin

4. His manhood size:
As funny and unbelievable as it may sound, so many single ladies of today have rejected their boyfriends marriage proposal simple because he's not big enough down there. These class of ladies forgot that size doesn't guarantee absolute satisfaction during intimate activities; according to modern research on this.

And size does not really matter. That's why copules should invest in a good manual.....a good boudoir activities manual. It is not a disgrace to get help.

5. Academic qualification:
Agreed, every lady dreams of dating or marrying a nerd or an intellect, but most times, academic qualification or class of degree doesn't always prove a man's level of intelligence, smartness, neither does it prove he's a nerd.

Some 3rd class graduates are more creative, witty than some 1st class graduates.

Some masters degree holders are more intelligent, learned than some professors.

Some OND holders are more smarter, productive and intelligent than some guys who graduated from Ivy League universities.

Most times its luck, opportunity, family background and life's unforseen uncurrences that land some guys into having the low academic qualification they have, but given time, they may end up higher than the guy with a 1st class today.

So ladies, give guys a fair chance because its not always about degree and qualification; some men who didn't pass through the walls of higher institution today are employing the so-called graduates from top global universities and such will keep happening till the world ends.

Nothing to add here.

5. Position in the family:
I have heard that ladies do turn down a guy's marriage proposal because of his position in the family; mostly because he's the first born child or the first son.

But why?

Because first born sons are also the defacto head of the family....when the parents die!(And it even goes for first born daughters too!). First born kids have all sorts of responsibilities....eg...they have to sponsor the younger sibs...and in some instances...the younger sibs's kids! Plus...relatives needing a place to stay head to....firstborn's house! It is tough being number one...and yes...it does have impact on the marriage.!

6. Profession or type of job:
I won't stress much on this because I won't entirely blame ladies, but sometimes when I hear it, it sounds funny to me and doesn't hold water because guys marry ladies irrespective of their profession or type of job. In fact, guys marry even broke, jobless girls, so why discriminate against guys when it comes to their own profession or type of job? What's good for the goose is also good for the....you know na? Lol

A woman marries the guy who won't let her kids starve. That's why.(And yes...we live in a society where the man is the breadwinner still!).


6. Place of meeting:
I have heard that some ladies will never marry a guy they met in a certain place, location or environment.

Though guys are also guilty of this, but to me, it sounds funny because where you meet people doesn't matter, what matters is how they behave, their character and personality...because the guy you met in a club maybe more disciplined and focused than that guy you met in the church choir or mosque.

Some women and men are strange.



7. Poor English:

This is the funniest of all to me, lol.

Because he can't speak Queens English and form Americana, you just tell him: NO! Lolz

Will speaking Queens English put food on the table? I doubt

Will speaking Queens English make him to treat you like a queen, I doubt.

And Nigerian ladies must also understand that English is not Nigeria's mother tongue...Russians, Germans, French guys, Chinese, Japanese guys don't speak English o...if he can communicate effectively, why the fuss about phonetic English speaking?

Dear ladies, please help yourselves and also help the guys and make life easier for all.

Well good command of the English= higher chance of getting good jobs!

Re: Funny Reasons Nigerian Ladies Turn Down Marriage Proposal From Guys by tintingz(m): 3:40pm On May 18, 2015
Op you forgot the parents.

With all what you have posted it all boils down to the parents, parents are the ones who tell their children who they should marry.

e.g.

He/she must come from a so'so tribe.

He/she must be so'so religion. etc.

Many girls turn down a guy proposal because she wants to respect her parents decision.

Religious Reasons and Job type to me is not funny! A present issue my family is facing is about the job of a guy who is a mortuary attendant seeking for my cousin sister's hand in marriage and we are reluctant to that! Is this reason funny? How can I give my daughter to a Fetish man? Hell No

Fetish ke? This one na gobe,original gobe.

If you fight the guy too much and the guy really loves your sister,I am sorry he may resort to charms/cast a spell on her

It happened to a friend's sister,but this time it was the girl's family that was under a spell; it was after she had given birth to two children that the spell wore off.

Religious compatibility is important in marriage. Often times, it looks not important at the early stage of marriage, however as children comes it becomes serious issue. When you are convinced about what you believe, what you want your children to believe becomes your preoccupation.
Even within the same faith, doctrinal differences can often strain family relationship. Marriage is often not enough to make someone starts believing what he/she has hitherto consider heretical. While marriage across divides within pentecostal fold is often not serious enough to cause much conflict in marriages; doctrinal issues resulting from marriage between orthodox christians and pentecostal christians can really restrain marital union. I honestly won't advice a born and bred Jehovah witness to marry a devout Catholic neither do I think it is appropriate for a deeper life Christian and some other Pentecostal movement to marry into the catholic fold.
