As
soon as an average Nigerian girl passes the age of 27 and is still unmarried
especially when her friends are already settling down, she starts feeling the
pressure. Pressure heaps on her to drop her last name for a new one. Societal
and family stance on the marriage issue doesn’t help either, hence an average
Nigerian girl goes into a frenzy and some of them would do the most crazy
things to make marriage happen for them. Information Nigeria in this piece
brings to you 6 rather desperate steps a girl could take to get hitched…
Endorsing
any man: Whether the man falls into the category of people they like/want stops
to matter and all that matters is whether the man is willing to marry them.
They tend to overlook intricate details of the man and focus on making the man
propose.
Pretense:
They become someone else – they transform themselves to suit the likes and
desires of the man and hide all their flaws and weaknesses just so he’d she’s
the one for him. She would also pretend to be blind to all his flaws and would
never argue with him, making him believe she does not nag.
Trapping
him with pregnancy: Many a-times, this doesn’t work. Even if it works, the end
is never the best. In desperation, aging ladies would deliberately get pregnant
for a man thinking it would force him into marrying her. Some marriages in
Nigeria today came into existence with this old school method.
Luring
the man: Some women would either just frustrate the man into marry her by
tormenting him everytime with ‘when are getting married tales’, making every
conversation revolve around tying the knot, proposing to take care of the
financial cost of the wedding, threatening to breakup with him if he doesn’t
propose (this backfires more often than it works).
Befriending
his family: This one is very common. She makes his family fall so hard in love
with her by buying them presents, cooking delicacies, washing and cleaning,
etc. The whole idea is to make the family put pressure on him to marry her.
Becoming
VERY Spiritual: She becomes very close to Jesus, not missing a day of church
service and vigils, joining a department in church like ‘Ushering or being the
lead vocalist in the church choir, all to win an unknowing brother.
Who
can blame them, when all these Nigerian men want is to get milk for free and
refuse to buy the cow. Some of them would literally start to fidget when the
issue of marriage is brought up…
