Emotional Instability

Taking away many of these obvious reasons for the cause of the husband search in Africa one reason that might not be quickly recognized but is top of the list is emotions. The bible says that all the issues of life come from the heart, and when one is unstable then there is definitely a big issue. Many African ladies are actually not fit emotionally due to some experiences they have encountered in their family, for instance, a child who while growing up always had to see her parents fighting and her father beating her mother would grow up with a mentality that marriage is filled with pains and she won’t want to get married so as not to experience the same thing. Same goes for a lady who has had bad experiences in her previous relationships and is scared of getting married, and when finally they are maybe able to sort the fear issues and are finally ready to try that stage of life they are at that point desperate.

Fun of Singlehood

The fun of singlehood has put so many ladies now in desperation. Many ladies have so enjoyed singlehood and freedom that they wish they have it like that for a while longer before the marriage bells. The fun and freedom of not having to think of anyone else but yourself, putting consideration of someone else before making a meal, hanging out, dressing, not having anyone give you orders, nor demanding some things that are really not comfortable for you and even so many more makes them come to terms with pushing marriage aside and enjoy singlehood a little more and trust me when they realize the time wasted that should be when all their mates are with their own families and some with kids.

The Honour of Marriage in the West

Then she would be in serious need of a husband and might be the one to get a man for herself.

Increased Tribalism and Religion

There is a high level of tribalism and religion in Africa which also goes down to marriage. Many Africa ladies also want to get married to an African man or even a man from the same tribal group if not the same state, which is why when a man from a different cultural group like Yoruba wants to marry a woman from the Igbo or Hausa there is great opposition from family members. While some are not even after the American man, rather they prefer that even if he stays abroad then he should have the African culture in him. An African man is said to have great qualities of being a good husband and also knowing how to take care of a woman, all these and many more make some ladies become very picky with men. The normal rules that when a lady is married, she belongs to her husband and everything about her get to change starting from her surname, to new family members, new culture, new church and most likely new religion get a young lady to apply caution in her choice and choose what they know can work for them or can cope with. That’s why when we look around us you see the staunch Christians getting married to a brother from the same fellowship with them.

Stories/ Fantasies of American Husband

To cap this up, parents most especially mothers are not really helpful in this situation. Mothers tend to complicate this issue with their prayers as one prayer point they never cease to say during their prayers for any young is that ” They pray for you to get a good man, an Abroad husband “ so that your mother can come for ‘Omugwo’ as Igbo’s calls it overseas. Going Abroad to study or Leaving there doesn’t give you an edge either in getting married and being happy.
