5) Bank Account: Why must you talk about marriage when you have just NGN652.20 in your GTB account and NGN1568.43 in your Ecobank account? Nah! Ogbeni, dat na to korokoro enter one chance for her mind oh!

4) Furnished flat: This is a very vital item in the husband starter-pack. You can't be taking her to hotels and friends' places. She needs comfort and privacy when she's with you. She wants to walk around the house with those sexy bikinis! She doesn't want the preying eyes of friends, families and strangers staring at her body lustfully.

3) A Business: Yes! If you are not a paid worker, you should have a business that rakes in regular income. Whether you operate a grocery store or an education centre, business na business.

Ladies love flashy cars even if you as the owner, is looking like this

2) Car: Call it whatever you like...Jalo, Ugbor, 4-legs, ride, etc. Nigerian ladies love cars so much! They want you to drop them at the salon or pick them up when they are done with the day's job and so on. If you drive a flashy one, the more they become interested. The idea is: if you can buy and maintain such machine, you can take care of them. In fact, some don't even mind the nature of the car. As far as it can carry people while moving!

Gone are the days when our young ladies marry a guy with the hope that even if the guy is as poor as a church-rat, things would get better. Then, ladies saw more in the future than in the present. Today, such idea no longer hold weight. Nowadays, very few young ladies would want to listen to your long story of 'Baby, let's believe in the future'. Below are the items in the Nigerian husband-material starter-pack, as seen in the eyes of our young ladies. If you don't possess at least, 3 out of these 6 items, don't discuss marriage with any woman.

1) A Job: Have a job that brings in regular income and in reasonable amount too. If you occupy a top position in a multinational firm, most of these ladies will start jumping around you like grass-hoppers! Please and please again, if your job is to hawk goko cleanser around town as a marketer, this one has surely eluded you!

Another cheap senseless talk from the old baskard!!!

One week is too a time for anyone to learn how to drive.

I won't consider sending anyone to you if the only marketing strategy you can come up with is being able to drive in just one week of enrolling with you.

If you have a better marketing strategy, why didn't you privately send it to me instead of trying to discredit someone else's business? I don't get For your info, I still maintain my stance that we have done it several times and we are still doing it! People who had no knowledge of where the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal are in a car were able to drive and conveniently control vehicles within one week! I never said one would become an expert in a week. Before you discredit people's assertions, think rationally!

1) They say universities are meant for research but in Nigeria, undergraduates hate research. They do copy and paste when project defence is near! What a shame!!!

2) We have been producing professors in different fields, yet, these folks can't even organize a research study or produce anything meaningful. What a disgrace!

3) The government in Poland spends a certain percentage of their annual budget on university research. Here, to fund education is a problem! Oh, what an embarrassment!

4) Our undergraduates 'sort' themselves out in school and come out of school dumber than a dummy! See shame!

5) No Nigerian university is among the first 1000 in the world! Oya, see embarrassment nah!

6) We still rely on ancient textbooks and old useless machines in Engineering faculties! Una dey see am?

7) We have been producing professors in Engineering, yet they can't even produce a wristwatch! My sympathy!!!

8. It is now preferable to school in places like Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Gambia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and even Kenya!!!

9) Many graduates are 'half-baked' and 'quarter-baked'. Many can't write an essay of just one page; there are others who can't read beyond 20 lines; they are many on this forum!

Paper-bag marriage is a Nigerian term used to refer to young people of opposite sex who are not legally joined by law, tradition or religion but stay together as married couple. Common signs of this is seen when a young woman starts packing her belongings gradually from her father's house, in little bags, to live with a man who is barely known by the parents. Young girls might systematically do this during weekends and other times, when they visit. It is often amazing that the man and woman could live for years and produce children that would come of age without seeing any need to back the illegal union with the normal procedures. This menace is becoming common in our societies. I witnessed a marriage ceremony some months back where the couple's first child was already in JSS 2!!!

Below are some of the clear causes of Paper-bag Marriage:

1) Poverty: Most young girls have come to embrace paper-bag marriage because they see it as an escape route from poverty. This is common with young women from very humble backgrounds. As soon as they discover that the man is financially comfortable, they wouldn't care whether he pays a dime on them or not! Although, some societies greatly frown at this; in most parts of Igbo land, for example, if the young woman dies unmarried in the man's house, the man would be held responsible because the woman's people do not recognize him as a son in-law.

2) The need for privacy: Many young women have fallen into the trap of paper-bag marriage because they were in dire need of privacy; they wanted a life free from the preying eyes of their parents. In doing this, they discover it is too late leave when pregnancy sets in. What do you expect when you throw yourself at a man without parental consent? He's not your brother...e go give you belle yanfu yanfu!

3) Domestic abuse: Many young women have resigned their fate to paper-bag marriage because they could no longer bear the emotional pains and torture associated with domestic abuse. Such abuse could come from step-parents, step-brother, step-sister, a brutal uncle or aunty or even unreasonable guardians. They would normally opt for anything that could bring an end to the pains.

4) Age: Age is another reason why a woman might go into paper-bag marriage. She might feel that age is no longer on her side...may be, she is approaching 30. Even when the man is not ready, she would get pregnant for him and start living with him as wife.

5) The irresponsible attitude of some young men: Some young men find it difficult to control their John-Thomas! At the slightest given opportuny, they impregnate a girl, knowing fully well that they are not ready and capable of catering for a wife and child. When this happens, the girl would be forced to give birth and start living with him as wife. Some of these men would boastfully refer to the woman as 'My wife' when they are discussing with you! Who dash you wife? Her papa know you?

This type of illegal union is strange to the African culture. It is an abuse on the African tradition; to negate the dowry/bride price, no matter how small the money could be. On the other hand, there's a school of thought that believes that this trend has become necessary because of the financial incapacity being struggled against by young men in our societies riddled with unemployment!

Readers views are welcomed.

Good Afternoon!
