- A Nigerian man has gone viral after claiming that women living in major cities cannot get married unless they relocate.
- The statement has sparked heated debate, with social media users divided over whether location affects marriage prospects.
A Nigerian man has sparked widespread online debate after suggesting that women living in major cities must relocate if they hope to get married, a claim that has divided opinion across social media.
In a video shared online, the man argued that women who remain in urban centres such as Lagos, Abuja, Owerri, Asaba, and Port Harcourt face reduced chances of marriage unless they move to another state.
“As a lady, you can’t be staying in Lagos, Abuja, Owerri, Asaba, or Port Harcourt and say you want to get married; if you want to get married you have to change state,” he said.
The comment quickly went viral, triggering intense conversations about whether geography still plays a role in marriage prospects in modern Nigeria. Many users questioned the logic behind linking marriage opportunities to location, especially in cities with large, diverse populations.
The discussion has also reopened debates around societal expectations, women’s career ambitions, and the realities of urban living.
Social media reactions were mixed, with some dismissing the claim as outdated, while others defended it as a harsh reflection of reality.
