9 Reasons African Women Are Not Married - Chauvinist Naija Man

Posted in: , , ,

A male chauvinist Nairaland user posted these 9 reasons in his opinion why he believes African women and Nigerian women in particular do not get married. Most of it hinge around controlling the personality and activities of the women, and elevating the status of the men.

Supposedly, African men are looking for househelps and slaves, and many women these days refuse to demean themselves and that is why they are not married. I read it and shook my head, good for the women then, right? We women need to keep our heads high and live self-fulfilling lives. However, on second thought, maybe there are women who actually think like this? I decided to share it here, so you my dear readers can decide if  you agree.

Yasmin Eleby promised herself that if she hadn't found a mate by the time she was 40, she would marry herself, and she kept her promise. For the ceremony, Yasim chose to have one of her sisters who is a minster, help her say vows, in a spiritual ceremony - because you can't legally marry yourself in America.

The ceremony was Yasmin's dream wedding, with a fabulous candlelit ceremony and heartfelt vows to forgive, honor and love herself. She says the best part of her special day was having her family there to "stand up" for her. Her other three sisters were bridesmaids and her mom gave her away; or back to herself in this case.

The Wedding Surprise of A Lifetime! Watch Bride Find Out Her Fiance's Beautiful Secret

Posted in: , , ,

Sami and Joe had been engaged for a while and though they wished to get married immediately, family schedules meant it was more difficult to set a date. She had actually said to her fiance several times that she wished he would plan the wedding and surprise her, so he did. While Sami thought she was being filmed for a business documentary, she didn’t know that she was getting dolled up for her own wedding.

Sami's fiance, Joe, worked with wedding planners and a photogragher to make her wedding day one she would never forget in a hurry. Sami was surprised by all their closest family and friends who had managed to keep the secret. What I loved most about the video was the intimacy of the wedding, the personal wedding vows, and the speech from the mother. Enjoy...
