WHY WOMEN MARRY LATE!

Today, I am worried about our sons, today’s young men. I am truly worried and every mother should pause, take a closer look at her sons and daughters and answer this question: are you empowering your son for the journey ahead of him? Answer truthfully, after all you are alone and you don’t have to let anybody hear you.


WE NEED TO TALK!....Sit down!



I think Nigerian mothers have not done well raising future husbands and fathers. Let’s admit it, we have not scored above average that is if we achieved average at all.

Take a closer look at your beautiful daughter and your handsome six-footer son. Who is better prepared for the task ahead? I know some of us had realised this and have done better than others but most Nigerian mothers need to buckle up. Our sons are not what they should be and we cannot have the society, the country we desire when we put unprepared men and overgrown boys in positions of authority. I’ll explain myself.

In too many homes, the wives are the bread winners. Too many women are paying the rent and picking bills that make a man the man. We do not need figures from the Office of Statistics because I know every woman in this country knows at least one family where the man is not truly the head. 


He is just a figure head. And every man who is a figure head is a sad commentary on his mother. Every young husband who waits for his wife to draw her monthly check before the monthly shopping can be done is a figure head, a proceed of a failed mother. That is harsh, right? Yeah, I know there is a place for God in what man becomes in life. It is from Him all blessings flow and only He gives power to make wealth. But did you, madam, even teach your son that simple fact or are you too busy preparing your daughter for marriage in addition to her getting the added advantage of attending the same Ivy League schools like his brothers? 


A son attends Babcock University in Nigeria or Imperial College in United Kingdom with a daughter but the daughter is trained to cook, pamper a man, be nice to in-laws and bring up children, all while she’s getting a degree. The son learns how to play basket ball and wash a car. The daughter learns how to bake and how to make hair and do make-up. Girls with Masters degrees see nothing wrong in going to learn dress making . Boys dust their CVs and write glowing stuff about themselves and send out thousands of job applications.

After two or three years of fruitless search for non-existent jobs, don’t our boys start ‘processing visas’ to travel to even the most ridiculous places, countries with no pastures, least of all green ones? Meanwhile, the girls set up make-up studios, start ‘mixing cream’ making hats and dresses and everything that makes money. 


The boys wait for the big time to arrive in one day. It doesn’t, rarely does. So the girls begin to grow in age and in bank balance. Ripe for marriage but no man is plucking because they are still waiting. See why girls are marrying late? They acquire degrees and cars, some even properties while waiting for Mr Right to come along. By the time he eventually comes along, the girl is already doing well in business, entrepreneurial skills honed. 


For a while, love covers the gap but men are not wired to be anything but the head. That is why most men quote how Sarah calls Abraham ‘Lord’ in the Bible. But Abraham was stupendously rich by Bible accounts. He also spoilt Mama Sarah silly. In other words, every Sarah needs an Abraham.

Inadequate, angry and frustrated, a man whose wife picks the bill soon finds avenues to vent his ire. Violence is one of those avenues. Shamelessly philandering to belittle his ‘richer’ wife is another, like impregnating the maid or a restaurant assistant. Are you linking the rate of failed marriages to what mothers have failed to do? There is a limit to a woman’s endurance and our millennium daughters have no threshold for suffering. In any case, a woman who bought herself a car is not the one her husband can threaten with ‘if you touch any of my cars…

    1. Some points were made but I disagree that its solely the mothers job. Parenthood is no joke and isn't meant to be done by the mother alone. I mean what exactly is the duty of the father from this writeup and where is he supposed to be while the mother is doing all the training?

  2. Stella majority of the guys out there are looking for hardworking ladies to clinch too, dey are bunch of lazy guys out there! Majority of marriages na woman dey carry am, na screen savers, when dey don't av dey would forming good boys, make d money show like dis , dem go show demselves, and majority of dis guys are drunkereds! Dey aren't God fearing!
    Imagine wan dude was saying dat I must look sexy by exposing my body to go on a date with him, comparing me to Kim k, idiot, some would if prefer u to date big men to come feed dem.

      One went as far as buying a gal's pone no from his friend cos he heard she's a big gal working in NNPC and needs a husband,hehe!all d way from enugu,he found his way to abuja,dated her,married her!but today d marriage is off cos he can't stand being d figure head husband.
      Laziness and covetousness makes dem feel marrying a rich lady is an easy way out,but wen dey go in dey find out its way harder dan being broke!all this is because watever God has decreed (dat man will till d ground and suffer before he feeds his family) ,any attempt by humans to subvert it will only lead to confusion we are encountering now!afterall if God did not reverse d pain of child birth(which is d curse of d woman),den men it still stands dat y'all must till d ground!go back to d old ways all ye men/boys of 21st century!#tongueclick

    2. Yeah! Very right! I grew up seeing my father as the correct head. He thrived to provide. Even though he had his flaws, he was still the lord and was regarded as such.
      I learned and planned to regard my man as the lord.

      So I grew up oh! I started dating and realised that lording a man makes him take advantage of you! Instead of being proud of u! Useless overgrown boys!

      I grew defensive. And in a society where men that solidly provide had begun to fade. Men I met were those that even want your money. I list respect for men!

      I'm married now. But to me, a man that cannot provide doesn't deserve respect. Unless he used to, then fell on hard times and is trying.

      I have no pity for lazy/stingy men!

So in summary, this is one of her usual marriage posts, only this time, it was couched in a way to make it look like it's the men's fault that women "marry late"....whatever that means.While in the real sense of it's actually a hit on single women.Do you get the point now?

    1. Li-yon i agree with u on this. Not only mothers should be blamed for this, but fathers as well have their own roles to play and they do not play it. They know what they went through so why not raise their boys in the right way. Mothers have a fault true, but the society in which we find ourselves in has made mothers neglect their sons, fathers face their sources on income thereby making the sons lazy and not having an idea of how they should be

      I once dated a guy for three years while he was still serving and job hunting.
      We were cool, ideal couple, his family knew me and mine, him.

      He got a very good job in an oil firm and suddenly cooled off, claiming to be busy trying to adjust to the job.

      This went on for a while until he stopped calling and taking my calls altogether. I tried reaching him to no avail, even through his family and mine, he didn't budge.
      This went on for a little over a year, then he called me out of the blue one day and told me he was getting married in a month's time.

      I died when I heard, it took special intervention for me not to do something stupid. I kept asking what went wrong and he said it wasn't me or anything I did. It was just one of those inevitable things ( whatever that means).
      My dad told me to develop myself, I was done with service then and working in a small IT firm. I went abroad for my masters, (dad sponsored- bless his soul).


      You think I should still be interested in a man who's in progress? You be the judge.

      Today's woman is the 'monster' created by today's man.

      Again, with blaming women. Mothers have failed, fathers too even more.

      A man should be primarily involved in his son's upbringing.

      Asides from that, I quite agree with the article.

  22. To the writer
    I am a man, a feminist and an advocate for entrepreneurship and I would say, good points were raised in your write up but with some misplaced priorities.
    Do you think its sane to grow a society where people acquire degrees only to keep them under their carpets as souvenirs.

    Do you think this society is sane enough when Old men from older generations have consciously stood to operate/manipulate the system to favour themselves by harming sustainability and 'family-tizing' the industries so they'll enrich themselves and have so much to spend on mistresses.

    Do you think its safe for our country if professionals are not groomed to stand, operate and diversify our economy and yield productivity for the future.....or you feel the youths would survive on make up, baking and sewing which were mentioned.....if these handworks get saturated, then what happens....hope you know its gon get saturated.....any plan afterwards?? we donot live to eat alone but to grow a country favourable for our kids and the next generation.

    In my opinion, we shouldn't take up a societal issue and coat it to suit what hurts us....How would we blame our innocent mothers for a society that has failed even the parents....Do you know how sad it is for parents who get to watch their kids suffer with little or no return on investment after spending so much on school fees, failed businesses etc.

    Good points but cannot or shouldn't be limited to the heading.....The society forms 70% of this problem....not our mothers...We fix this system, we stay afloat; we don't, we drown in it. Simple.

No doubt society helps to shape us but pls note that charity begins at home, train up a child in the way he should go....... Bros, when you train ur child well, ur child will be formidable. My brothers, can do all the house chores, the society will tell them it's not a man's job but my mother will tell them it's imperative in this life. We need to train our boys and girls not to be influenced by societal pressures and trends. What is inside should be stronger than what is outside.

    However, I feel that mothers alone shouldn't be blamed; how about fathers that are bad role models to our sons? How about the absent father's that value work+money more than their families? How about fathers that are busy creating 'baby mamas' and running away from its responsibilities?
    Parents need to join hands together in raising the children really. There is a reason God made it that way.

    1. Most fathers are even worse than mothers. They play little or no role in a child's upbringing and it's wrong. Fathers shouldn't just be ATM machines, they need to help raise their kids too. Women cannot do it alone. Years ago, most women were stay - at - home mothers but now they are career women. They contribute way more than their husbands so it's only fair that men help out in raising the children too.

  36. This write up is pathetic.Who ever wrote this junk is so deluded i wont glorify the writer by calling her a feminist cos she aint one. Probably one of the cougars that spent their youth days chasing money, men and setting too high a standard for the poor men that had the courage to approach them. Now she feels writing this junk of an excuse would make her feel better. I feel sorry for the writer. really. she needs to do her research properly. if she must write on a public issue like this one.(Mad at me for wasting my time to read this)

  38. I don't know about women marrying late, the heading is wrong, it's the men that marry late IMO, all my friends are in their husband's houses.
    The only reason I'm still unmarried is because of my choice of a BF, if I were to advice my younger sister now, it would be to date a guy that is settled and very mature, "Oga din ma" boyfriend is not it at all.
    Meanwhile some women on this blog have turned marriage to something else, marriage is a sweet thing, if not for anything but to be chopping legal and "Perm" dick steady, Lmao!
    So someone yesterday posted a "giveaway" for a makeup training and requested for her fellow MARRIED(she wrote it in caps like that) BVs to apply and went ahead to say 5k fee for 1week training, I was so pissed yesterday, seriously?
    Baba God be a husband provider oh! Chai!

  50. The writer blamed mothers again! The female specie lol! Mothers are to groom their daughters and fathers their sons. The idea of of our girls not to get pregnant or have sex and advising the guys to use comdoms is a typical example, who are they using the condoms on? Or are they now supposed to be gay? Pls don't blame the don't man's failure on his mother but on the father. My ex was a great man and treated his mum and myself with respect, because his father respects his mum. Distance and life put things apart but my point is; the father shl train the sons and mum's the daughters. Ladies don't marry a lazy man, you can tell from courtship o, love alon doesn't keep the marriage.

    Look at you, crying shamelessly on your "manless" state of existence. Trying to soften the blow by calling Mr non-existent man "ogadinma". You remind me of Kenya Moore, only you can see the man but nobody else can. Is he a spiritual boyfriend? I am not even going to make your situation worse than it is.

    Each time you are on S&M applying for a man for your fictitious friend. You have bigger problems honey. Face it.

    Eli didn't caution his sons.

  57. Why blame the mothers though. Isn't it a father's responsibility to train up a boy into a man? If the mother is already training up her daughter for the road ahead, what is the father doing with his son? Get off women's back and speak to men about the raising of sons.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Humans with mindsets like this writer are the causers of women"s problem in this world! Now you have turned the responsibility of training up a male to a woman's role. Clap for yourself. What's the role of the man then??

    Just be dere and be preparing yourself and your followers to die on a responsibility to be shared by husband and wives. Besides the major the most that makes a real man can only be taught by a man. Just as being a good woman can majorly be taught by a mother.

    So please drop this mentality of women being failures at training their male children and dream up another article for the real culprits, THE MEN!

  59. Has anyone ever asked themselves if our mothers claimed 50/50 in their marriages?
    Should there be any reason for a woman not to provide for her family the same way her husband will do if 50/50 is the order of the day?
    There are different factors that affect a man from being the man in a marriage.
    How about we talk about women who have never spent a naira on any bill in her household but will not end up appreciate what the husband has done?
    No hard feelings, Men are supposed to be men. A man is the head and should provide for his family, he should guide them jealously and make them comfortable.
    The parents are responsible somewhat, how about men that didn't grow up with their parents
    but are currently role models?
    Marriage is a sacred institution that can only be attended by matured people, because you are a man or woman doesn't mean you are matured.
    What's the population of the matured people marrying today against the ones that get married due to peer pressure?

  62. I totally disagree because my mum train us equally. My younger brother finished his masters early. By 24 he is married and very responsible, when his wife gave birth in obodo oyinbo he bath the baby and do the necessary things himself, before any of our families over there visit. People are calling my mum that she trained him well. In my house boys and girls are equal. So maybe some mom did not trained their son well, but not all mom.

  66. Chai!!!! Na who write this essay!! GBAMEST!!!this is just the truth

    I think there is also an ounce of responsibility on we women to not let love control our brains!!

    Encourage the men to be bread winners biko! Even if you make £100k a year, let the man know he still has to be the main provider, our jobs as women is to support the head as the necks....

    Encourage your husbands to strive to lead the home, financially, spiritually, mentally and physically...let's stop babying these men

    I've told my hubby, forget my salary inshort delete am from your head like say e no exist....if we need backup I dey, but na you be the main the main

    Obviously life is a journey and no one genuinely knows tomorrow so if you know your man is hardworking but maybe needs a little support or push for a few months, then support but let him know that God has made him the head, and the head he shall remain

    Peace xx

  69. The society is made up of families, so blaming society is same as blaming families, which are headed by a FATHER and a MOTHER. Both have a JOINT responsibility to raise their children, not just the mother alone..

    The writer makes a lot of sense. Most Nigerian men are NOT adequately prepared for marriage. They grow up with that sense of entitlement that women are desperate to marry anything with a penis so they don't even hustle too hard to woo a woman, win her heart, make money, take her on dates and then propose to her..

    I honestly won't advise any female to jump too early into marriage unless you are very sure of your husband's maturity and financial capacity. Take your time and live your dreams, grow your career, have a job, make some money..so you can buy your car, travel when you want and all. Life is short, how can your only life goal and dream be being a wife and mother? In 2015? How?

    And pls if you are not ready to have kids, don't have them. If you have them and cant raise them, kindly give them up for adoption. The economy is crumbling, don't have any child you can't feed, clothe, educate and cater for mbok. How on earth have we come down to 20rape cases every week. These rapists were born but were not well raised. These rapists are the men we are not preparing for marriage..

    The men are becoming more lazy. They are having too much sex, watching too much porn and the devil is using it to destroy their destinies. I don't see anything wrong with a wife being the provider, but it is irresponsible of any man to not help out at all or to hate on her while she is the provider. I just wish men would learn how to be loving and supportive of their wives. St.Paul says to love your wives as Christ loves the church. How do you grow in envy of your spouse. How? Why?

  71. Wow! To some extent I agree but seriously, the mother alone can't do the job of parenting. The father should also teach the sons how to be a man. A woman knows better about the daughters and barely knows much about the sons. The men have their roles here too. Interesting though
