I think that nobody male or female should be pressured into a lifetime commitment because of age, peers or poverty. Marriage remains a choice, not an obligation. People are free to marry and not to marry and even the Bible supports this. These ideals put out by people are purely cultural and there should be no shame in being single out of choice, for the rest of one's life. Life is too short to make lifetime commitments to please people who will not be there during the tough times.

I guess you not marrying wouldn't be a problem,right?

Nice write up. I really commend your efforts OP. I however have another view to the discussion. I think our problems are also connected to the adoption of the white man lifestyle. Focus is more on the individual, rather than communal. We've fashioned a form of complexity to the way we live that makes it hard for us to believe that the only thing that works is one man one woman. Two, three or more working class women could find fulfilment in marriage with a man if it is properly maintained and which could solve the problem you raised. Errrm.. Human Rights Advocates would want to crucify me for my comment but, hey, has monogamy really worked for the white man?

Your reasoning and analysis is so flaw,in as much ladies want to live in denial,marriage is a tradition lay down by God,stop copying the western traditions,all woman desire to get married,when they can't find husband they cover face and say its not a priority,u don't have a husband u,guys sleep with you and dump u,go ask kemi adetigba and linda ikeji,they may hide their sorrow in hardwork believe me they are weeping.

You can crucify me, the government need to change orientation of the younger generation by providing enabling environment for entrepreneurship.

Not everybody should be a university or polytechnic graduate. You finish SSCE, go straight into technical school for two years, master your trade and start your thing. So you start young !! This what happens in the Western world.

Africans have been brainwashed to believe without university education you can't be successful. This is the main problem of Nigeria

[size=13pt]Your points are well taken.

Nevertheless, some aspect of your thoughts might be exacerbating the problem than solving it. While not taking away your argument, it's worth pointing out that unemployment is a global phenomenon, especially graduate unemployment.

We can argue the 'uselessness' of Nigeria's leadership since 1960 but what about Nigerians who have migrated to countries that are better run than Nigeria? Are the females not affected by the issue we are discussing?

People all over the world are looking beyond government for solutions to this problem. Governments have shown the lack of capacity to tackle the issue having tried their best efforts.

Having said these, Nigeria's job climate is not as hopeless as it seems. And it doesn't depend entirely on provisions of any megawatt.

Unemployment is prevalent among the graduates (especially in the non-professional disciplines) than the artisans and other entrepreneurs. For example, there are not many jobless builders or stone masons currently. Neither are there many teachers who are unemployed. Unemployment rate in the nursing profession is arguably below 1%.

Following from these facts, there are key sectors of the economy witnessing growth and expansion where graduates can to look into and take advantage of the opportunities presented in the production/value chains. Health, Education, Agriculture and Housing/Construction.

Graduates must begin to acquire those skills they need to navigate these sectors. There's no doubt that many of them have to attend skills acquisition trainings. They would also need to take bold steps and quit the thinking of working in Lagos or bigger cities at all cost.

Anyone who has tried unsuccessfully to secure a job for 12 months should begin to think seriously of doing something else. If the job comes thereafter, well and good, if not, they would simply continue with what they are doing. [/size]

Best post so far, there are sectors Nigerians should begin to explore to reduce unemployment

It's a reality I see all around me.

Now that the ladies are making the money, they should equally do the marrying (societal norms would be quoted grin)

No body should complain. What a man can do women are doing better, except marry (Apologies to the rich single ladies.) grin

PS:
We are only looking at the selfish side of marrying or not marrying, what happens to single-never-married mothers?

can we argue that it's better to be a rich single-never-married mother and forego the child's need for a father's love as inconsequential ...Or children like marriage are overrated?

3. As a single lady, lower your financial expectation from guys- the table is turning, fewer guys now have good means of income compared to ladies; you ladies asked for gender equality, you now have it, please make use of it, don't wait for a richer guy... if you are driving and you see a guy trekking whom you fancy, lift him and don't be shy to startup a focused-relationship with him ...waiting for the richer guys driving bigger cars than yours may keep you waiting for eternity and may bring you more heartbreak because such guys now know that they are king to women and so they treat ladies with little/no respect.
This point cant be over-emphasized enough, & i wait for the day when the bolded would come to pass. Cheers OP. You nailed it

Real reason is they used Christianity to deceive us into marrying one wife. This development have led to many women remaining spinster.

By adulthood, women population passes that of men because Robbery, car accidents, cultism, military wars, being in the police, fire service n their likes drastically drop the population of men, this reducing number of potential suitors... .... that's all.
