I have been saying it for a while that Nigeria is suffering from a social crisis as young people are not dating enough. To be single is now the new cool and a relationship with the significant other is now seen as a financial burden and a form of stress. What started as a isolated event in South Korea and much of Europe were young people were not pair bond for the sake of family formation and to replace the aging population may soon be our reality, Nigeria since the 60s has enjoyed years of population boom but a bad economy, a literate population and social acceptance of contraceptives is making young people to critically think.

.
The dating culture here is opportunistic from a guys perspective, your sincerity, being chivalrous ,niceness can be a net negative if you plan to be serially committed to your significant other as the bad boys are winning and the lover boys are literally on their own. From Wizrab, Agba John Doe, YomYom on the X platform, Influencers are literally giving an expose to young men to critically vet before you commit. Lots of guys have been literally take to the cleaners both in relationships and in marriage and it has led to men on strike.

The popular Benin pop artist "Shallipoppi" sang OSCROH which literally means OS; a sexual consenting female who wants to gets paid for the exchange of money for sex has caught the attention of netizens who literally feel that renting the services of an OS every now and then is more financially sane than keeping up with a relationship with a girlfriend. A lot of netizens on X even listed the pros saying: ''OS won't bother you for money". "OS will not emotionally drain you''. The OS trend seems to have generated a lot of buzz as more and more single young men to who ought to be sexually locked with their significant other would prefer to seek the services of an Oscroh. Men's attention into seeking a committed relationship is about to get ''expensive'' as the women who offer these services. Until we have a very frank conversation to change our archaic dating culture of as a man you must be always performative with your finances whilst getting almost nothing in return, the men have every right to get their emotional and sexual needs met elsewhere even if it means paying for it.

This is actually the reality: there is no benefit for a man being in a committed relationship. Especially in this part of the world, where the definition of love for a man is in the depth of his pocket.
Marriages and relationships are inherently commercial. Even our traditions sanctioned it so, reason we pay "bride price". And from there onwards, its toil and labour all his life for his wife and kids.
What was keeping men in this skewered arrangement was the woman's faithfulness.
Today, that faithfulness is out the window. Women now sleep around whether married or not. Yet, they want to psychologically blackmail me into continuing to provide and protect.
Men are wisening up and are refusing to take the short end of the stick.

It is well

Nice one

Who get time for marriage now. Marriage is for the heartless.

The truth is always bitter anyways

It is a sad state of affairs

Hookup culture doesn't make you a real man.

Oga make I hear word. You fit take OS serious as your babe,make you no even know.

I'm sure that makes you a real man..

Go out and run a social experiment on ladies that claim to be in serious relationship. I for say married women too,but I don't want you to scatter homes. Now when on those so called serious relationship girls,just show them small money ,and see if 99% won't fall for it..

Lol.

What makes one a real man?

Pray tell!
