No fewer than 8,000 women on Thursday matched to the Zamfara Hisbah Commission, seeking the state government’s assistance to enable them to get married.

Led by the Chairperson of the Zamfara Widows Association, Hajiya Suwaiba Isa, and the patron, Alhaji Sa’idu Goshe, the women said they were not living a normal life and needed husbands to become whole.

“Many of us cannot afford two meals in a day because there are no men to us,” they said.

The patron said the association had over 8,000 women, comprising 5,380 divorcees, 2,200 widows, 1,200 orphans and 80 others, whom he said, were looking for men to marry.

He said the women also needed assistance to purchase household items such as beds, mattresses and other basic necessities needed to move to their husbands’ houses.

Goshe appealed to the commission to assist the association in screening suitors for the women.

He said the screening would determine the suitors’ health status, source of livelihood and ability to maintain a family.

They don't sound like marriage "materials." They're just looking for men to dump their wahala on.

The women said they hardly afford 2 meals per day.
In other words. They are just trying to use those men as their source of income.
Relationship is love, and not a job opportunity

How do they expect to get married when their male are volunteering themselves for suicide. They should tell their brothers to stop getting involved in suicide (boko haram) missions.

Its not scarcity as such; the men marry the girls at 9 and divorce them at 17 so as to marry other 9 year olds.
