WHERE DID ALL THE GOOD(INSERT MEN OR WOMEN) GO??
..Looking around nowadays espescially in the uk where i live there seem to be so many single-parent families around (and i don't even want to go into a rant about the dangers of unstable parenting), this has even become a norm amongst nigerians too. I have been speaking to a lot of women and men about this and it's basically a battle of the genders. Men seem to think that there are no good women around and vice versa...its wierd cos most relationships nowadays are borne out of convinience and not out of understanding. I was having a conversation the other day with a guy and he only wanted to get married cos he wanted kids, he doesn't believe in luv and all that "crap", after speaking to him at length on this issue, i discovered that he got to this descision based on experience. Apparently naija owambes are avenues for married folks to seek other patners( ie single or married), digits are exchanged and affairs start. It's funny cos all these atrocities take place in the presence of their children...apparently,young kids are having to cover up for cheating parents and all what not......this situation scares me cos looking at my parents' relationship and at how my siblings and i turned out, i am worried about what the situation could become in a few years... so is there simply a shortage of good men or women in terms of marriage or are we simply making excuses for our inability to remain faithful and make our marriages work????
