More than 30,000 broken and failed marriages were recorded in Badagry area of Lagos State between January and September 2016, an NGO, Family Reloaded Organisation, said on Wednesday.

The organisation’s Coordinator, Mrs Sesi Sebinun, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Badagry, Lagos, that the major cause of broken homes in the area was negligence of duties from both parties.

“There are so many broken homes in Badagry and the number is going to increase if urgent steps are not taken to address the situation.
“The husband fails to see that he is the man of the house while the wife isn’t submissive and these cause friction in the house.
“The children suffer this because of the psychological effect on them, so, both parties must learn that building a home takes team work by both parties,’’ she said.

She noted that violence in marriages was due to impatience from the two parties.
“Impatience and lack of understanding between both parties are the major causes of violence in marriages because they do not have the will to tolerate each other.
“We must learn each other’s flaws and tolerate them instead of getting angry at little things,’’ she said.

She advised people to make use of social welfare services to address issues in their marriages. “Many people are not aware that there are organisations that provide services to people whose marriages are in trouble.
“You don’t have to wait till when things are damaged beyond repair before seeking help from social welfare service and customary courts to rectify things,’’ she noted.
She advised couples to pray regularly for their marriages.

Look before u leap but in Nigeria most men and women leap into marriage before they look.

A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage!

A house built on sand will never last.

Failed marriage everywhere

Wow! The world is officially coming to an end.....We've lost everything

Marital recession! That's a new one.

while other ladies are doing fastinq and prayer, make husband locate dem...... una own be say una don tire.... anywayz continue

30000? Damn it!

l am not surprised..

Reasons?

1. Most Badagry men (l didn't say all) are illiterate fishermen

2. Most are lazy and don't like working because their women work as fisherwomen and fish sellers..

3. Most Badagry men enjoy drinking ogogoro even early momo..and you find ogogoro joint everywhere probably because they are close to Benin Republic border and smuggled drinks get to them easily

4. Most badagry women are hard workers and provide for their husbands who boast of having four wives who are working and falling over each other to cater to his needs... they say that openly l swear..

4 Most badagry men love juju and their sangbeto masquerade to a fault and illiteracy is high among them and the witchcraft of their women eh?

Finally..they born pikin like kilode...

That doesn't mean all Badagry men and women are what l described above sha

Abi? all those Semasa.. Senami...Semanu...Senayon. Olorunwa...Suru.... ( na their names be that)

How l take know all these?

Every graduate of LASU know them like the back of our hands..

Abi l lie? ( dodging blows)

That number is suspect.

However, marriages are having tough time these days. Many are just pretending.

Oh sh***! Hmmm na mean be say village girls go sure pass, just hope they won't change to city craze.

Kinda hard to believe..

Buhari's Econometric undoing marriages..

civil marriages are surely crap and has higher tendencies towards failure
