A perfect definition of how the feminine hypergamous brain works; most of you want to eat your cake and have it, you want a rich man to take care of you after your whoring phase is over, stupid Leech. How can you call a simp a real man if you're not foolish.

ednut1:
lol naso. In our fathers time. If they employ 50 people. 47 will be men while women will be 3. Those guys easily married. But now na 25 men 25 women. Which is not a bad thing. But women should learn to adjust. If you are the breadwinner you no go die

Foolishmasses:
My brother, the topic is not about people marrying every weekend or not. What has been the outcome of the marriage on the partners? Do you know how many men of marriageable age that doesn't want to venture into that ? And it will keep getting worse because of we have decline in morals, ethics and values.save this word, in twenty years time, ladies cum women will kill to have a husband because it won't be about social pressure then , rather , a way out of financial captivity.

Gerrard59:


I like your post about women being realistic esp about the economic situation in Nigeria but for most posters to say people (men and women) aren't getting married is entirely false. As it's, almost all of my female classmates (secondary school and university) have gotten married in Nigeria. Notwithstanding the economic crises and Covid-19, people within my circle have gotten married this year than previous years. So when Nairalanders opine that people aren't getting married, I find it amusing.

Fiscus105:



In fact you nailed it at exact point, and that is why they jump from one guy to another dick.

They dnt think twice before they abandon relationships this day. Just like man does.

Few years back, you will hear that a lady will tell you where will she starts from? Having realised she had gone far with the guy. But now only dangling of cash, money that new guy might not spend for her, she abandons already established relationship, I witnessed several such relationships in recent time and it always bring premium tear for the lady.


Some girls abandoned already established relationship just because one guy she just met online, has promised heaven and earth without meeting her physically, she will be give attitude for main guy and become frustrated.

DropsMic:
Guys don wise

Happy2020:
Why would a Nigerian man want to marry a liability? Makes no sense at all.
Nigerian women need to change their attitude and actually bring something to the table instead of waiting for a man to do everything. It’s archaic thinking and needs to change.
A man is not a poverty alleviation plan.

DexterousOne:


I wont advise any woman to marry a man who makes 30 grand though
Especially in Lagos

All I advise is for the ladies to have REALISTIC expectations

pansophist:


If I would define marriage in a few words, I would say that '

'Marriage is an institution where two individual ties the rope of their existence together, to alleviate the suffering of life.

The idea that people should not get married because they earn whatever amount is flawed, though, I can understand the line of thinking it is coming from. It is easy for two people to live on sixty thousand nairas for example (each spouse earning thirty thousand naira), than for one person to live alone with thirty thousand. Because the same room that one person will live in, can accommodate two people, food will not be wasted, and you have someone to count on, free necessary labour (such as domestic duties, errands) =, and many more that is hardly achieved by one person.

The idea that one has to make a lot of money to settle down is good, but what about losing your wealth after marriage, what will become of such a couple? What if they both encounter life difficulties such as sickness, losing mobility, and more? such formula is not sustainable. The will to be a good partner is superior to the will to have lots of money.

Who is talking about genger equality here?

Fiscus105:


Gender equality is the giant destroying relationship and marriage

madridsta007:


Marriages and economic growth are directly proportional, especially in Conservative African societies.
The more middle-class growth, the more marriages.
Low middle-class growth, less marriages.
This should be very simple.

Let me break it down:

The Middle-Class man, lets say a pilot, gets married and employs a Night-Guard to guard his house. The Night-Guard makes some money from that employment and then marries. More marriages means, more jobs for photographers, event planners, etc. These guys make money and then marries.... Friendships that lead to marriages are formed in a wedding. Everything stems from that middle-class population. Reduce it, as Buhari, Tinubu and APC has done and you will gradually affect marriages. That is why I pity women who think their problem is spiritual. Most times, it isnt. Again, follow the economics.

In Nigeria's North, more insecurity and instability means less marriage. The bachelor is thinking about surviving and staying alive than marriage. There are many research studies that links low marriage rate to the existence of civil unrest, wars, etc.

I'm very surprised that people were voting for Buhari's Change in 2015 and Next Level in 2019 and were not thinking that the economic recession he came with wont affect your chances of marriages. Africans can be very foolish.
The man you want to marry is thinking about surviving economically and not being a burden to a woman and her people.
Again, this is common sense.

Poverty and unemployment. Boys don reach 35 no solid source of income and boys no wan marry base on Insha Allah

Marriage is still attractive to those who value marriage. People are getting married steady. Infact a lot of people tied the knots even in this covid

wisdomiskey:
Husbands are scarce because wives are scarce.

Women became Instagram thots/slay queens, so men became purchasers/patronizers of psleeves.

It's fair game in my opinion

DexterousOne:

To be very honest
I dont know

But like I said before
A man making N30k shouldn't be thinking much of settling down

Sonnobax15:
. Thread like this can never change me from marrying in two years time from now.

Marriage na beautiful thing when you've got the right partner....
