Is it necessary for a woman to stay with her parent until she's married even if she can afford not to? - Simi asks

Nope....in developed countries, @18 U are able to get a job, your own apartment and at the same time seek your parents advice. There's no reason to stay with them if u can afford yours. This doesn't mean u won't meet a great guy who will infact respect you for that .

It ain't necessary and she sure can move anytime deemed fit by her.#Jamblikequestion

My people very easily say 'in developed world'. Many families in those 'worlds' live with their grown kids who work and can perfectly fend for themselves, but the family ties and bond they grew up with make them decide to stay together until something stronger separates them. Some stay because, they feel more secure with the company of their own family. No....nothing is wrong with it.

Move, move, move!!!.. Whether it's a man or a woman, just move!.. That's progress. Why stay at your parent's when you can afford yours?

that is such a backward mentality. Let me sideline, what if the woman gets a job in a place far a way from home, should she turn it down because she is supposed to live in her parent's house till she is married or she should move and her parents there?

It is totally her choice, she has the money to stay without her parents and she chose to stay with them.

It's an African something

What fruit have all the imported foreign IMMORAL traditions bore over the years. Your refusal of the counsel of the elders to remain subjected to the tutilage and control of your excessive youthful lusts by remain within their arms length is PARTLY responsible for the late marriage experiences. It is only logical to imagine irrespective of race that part of the reasons why their is high rate of single motger products now especially in the Americas in Partly because of the excessive freedom the society permits your girls.

Compare the degree of waywardness demonstrated by girls or even unmarried ladies especially when they begin. alone. Imagine how girls sneak out now to perpetrate wayearsness and outsmart their parents whilst they live under their roofs let alone when they begin to live alone.

To me is necessary

Not necessary. I know traditionally, it's expected of young single women but times have changed. If a lady can afford it, I don't see why she can't live by herself.

Semi go and ask your grand father.

Simi na one of those wey dey take left hand take point out their father's house?

Many Nigerian men prefer their potential wife live in their parents. It shows they are descent and their activities being watched over. Most guys, if not some, tag girls as 'runs girls' if they live alone, especially without a sibling. SIMI! SIMI!! SIMI!!! yes, 'LOVE DONT CARE' But here, it does oh.

Shouldn’t be necessary but I think it should in lagos!! Runs girl plenty pass home girl. We the guys can’t even tell a bad girl from the good one anymore...maybe staying with your parents and having a full time job or business you run will be better to identify a decent girl

It is a matter of choice

We are not westerner, So is necessary, even in nigeria we have different culture of way of doing things, But if Nigeria want to copy white people way of life, let them first agree on one culture in Nigeria

Nigeria is not America

Where did Simi leave b4 she met her husband and got married... alone?

Them men want that so they can say, I'll just take you back to your father's to keep ladies in check, you know control themy because they have no where else to go

It doesn't make the girl irresponsible provided she can afford it.

It depends

Marriage is not the determining factor in the life of a woman. If she can move out and move on, why deny progress? Stagnating in parent's house while waiting for a man is what makes women desperate to accept any proposal. As a man I advise, if u can rent, rent. If u can buy, buy. If u can build, go for it.

This is why many people don't own houses. Simi you are married what's your point

Simi its not necessary so as long she can foot her bills

its not necessary to stay with you parents .. i think culturally people prefer it ..i was working and still living with my mother till marriage ...tho i could afford apartment but i decided to save my money and also have some company because i don't want to live alone and my mom is widow ...but i contribute to the house keeping

I stayed because I could not afford to pay rent two ways...but it helped along the line. My parents-in-law saw me as a good girl when I was introduced. That is the Nigeria mentality...
