A local sheykh in my ends is advocatin' that sisters should marry convicts. He argues that there's a shortage of "adequate" nigeria males in the area and that sisters should give reformed ex-cons a chance, since they are the majority in and leavin' prisons.

What's your opinion? Ladies, are you willin' to lower your standards in the pursuit of marriage? Gentlemen, does the idea of your sister/cousin/aunt settlin' down with convict sit easy with you?

Well, if this sheikh marries one of his daughters off to a convict, then I'll listen; it's best to lead by example.

As for me. . .I watch too many prison shows to even THINK about an ex-con. I can't go through life sleeping with one eye open, rushing for HIV checks every six months (I've seen how they get down in jail) and worrying about a potential relapse into crime. Uh-uh.

What was he convicted of?

This is the woman's choice, if she falls in love with a convict, then why not. Na she and the convict go live together.

The sheykh doesn't seem to estimate/predict the apparent disequilibrium. When a brother gets locked up, serves time and finally is let go, there's, without a reasonable of a doubt, parents' who can't wait for him to settle down with a decent girl. naija believe so long as you give a man some responsibilities, they'll straighten out. However, who the f-ck would want their daughter to get hitched to an ex-convict? naija mothers will all say 'thanks god, he wil be nice guy or 'thanks god, wu de, ' until their daughter tells 'em she's marryin' that dude and all hell breaks loose.

Also, these guys didn't go to jail for nothin'. Chances are their parents weren't home enough to regulate them because they were on their grind, or they didn't have proper fathers around and their mothers gave up hope by the time they've reached 15. Why would anyone allow such a person to become the father/provider for their unborn children? Now-a-days, gettin' married to good, suitable brother/sister isn't enough to hold together a marriage, lol and you want to introduce and add some next dude who use to chop dymes into the mix? Furthermore, the system doesn't rehabilitate anyone, if anything, inmates leave prison feelin' more resentful/bitter. Job opportunities are limited, but it's understandable since recividism rates aren't so attractive.

lol @ loose chicks get with ex-cons. I think that was the crowd the sheykh was directin' his dialogue to, them and chicks who can't seem to find a spouse. Nonetheless, his advice is unrealistic and plain deranged

Well, some Northern Men look like the convicts themselves, so what's the big deal?

Whatever they marry is their business, so far the men don't run after 13yr old girls angry

I personally have to say no thanks. But I think a small percentage went in innocent. But they just may come out bitter (changed) so they will need alot of counselling and real rehabilitation to be qualified for another chance at life and a marriage.

And more so, it depends on the crime he did and how long a sentence he was given.
