A Nigerian woman has stirred widespread reactions on social media after explaining why she does not want to get married or have children.

According to her, the kind of man she would consider building a family with does not exist. She said it was because of that she had remained unmarried and child-free.
Lady shares marriage expectations
In her words:
"The thing is, no man actually meets my standards. Like, the kind of man I want to marry, I don't think he exists. All men are either 'disvirgined,' you know, expired, or they are just ugly. And I don't want my child to look that way."
She went on to mention qualities she said her ideal man must have.
One of the qualities she wanted in a man was that he conform to her lifestyle, values, and expectations, including domestic responsibilities and chores.

One statement that made a buzz was her saying that she would prefer to be the financial provider in the relationship, as such, she would be in full control of making household decisions.
She said:
"He must be someone that is domestically equipped. He must know how to cook, wash my clothes and, you know, the kids that we are going to give birth to, he must do the laundry."
She added:
"I will come and pay his groom price. Because it is me that will pay, and drop him in my house. I will marry a man by myself. I will marry you, you will bear my surname, and you will stay in my house"
The TikToker added that she had no interest in traditional marital roles and criticised what she described as societal pressure on women to marry and have children.
