'My Fear For Many Nigerian Spinsters'
Do you know that 7 out of 10 ladies have struggled all their life right from childhood to adulthood? Will you blame such ladies if they refuse to marry a man who can not boast of an income good enough to manage a family?
The economy of this country has made it so difficult that even a man that makes 150k a month dares not think about marriage considering the way it is celebrated in Nigeria and by the time you remove monthly expenses from your 150k you will be left with little or nothing, hence saving for a wedding ceremony will not even come to mind.
Now lets ask ourselves, how many men even in their 30s have jobs paying 100k and above? How many are even gainfully employed?
8 out of 10 ladies have no reason being single even at 25 years of age.
YES you read right, but the issue is with these ladies.
A typical Nigerian lady will state all she wants in a man but even if she hides the "must be financially okay" part, it is very apparent that the financial aspect to her is even more important than the guy being GOD fearing. So in the past, they have probably had guys that are seen as poor by them practically asking them to be their wife but because by her standard, the guy is not financially ok enough,ITS A NO and gradually they get older.
So the bottom line is that 8 out of 10 ladies want a "financially okay guy" and in Nigeria of today, just 2 out of 10 guys are financially okay so the 8 ladies flock around these two guys and because these 2 guys now realize they are hot cake, they just play around with these 8 ladies and dump them for other fresh ladies, and these ladies who are desperately looking for a financially stable guy to marry end up becoming single and searching again after wasting their time with these 2 guys with the hope that these 2 guys will marry the 8 ladies. And the never ending crazy circle continues.
This is why i fear for many Nigerian spinsters, and until they make up their mind to start a life with a man even if he still struggling, we will continue to have a crazy increase in the number of single ladies.
Just trying to make common sense.
