Marriage is often viewed as a significant life milestone that brings numerous benefits.

While the advantages of marriage can vary depending on individual circumstances and the quality of the relationship, there are several well-documented benefits for men who enter into a healthy, supportive marriage. Here are some of the key benefits of marriage for men:

Improved physical health

Studies have shown that married men tend to live longer than their single counterparts. This is often attributed to the support system provided by a spouse, which can encourage healthier lifestyle choices and regular medical check-ups.

Better health habits

Married men are more likely to adopt healthier habits, such as regular exercise, balanced diets, and avoiding risky behaviors like smoking and excessive drinking. A spouse often provides motivation and support for maintaining these healthy habits.

Reduced risk of chronic diseases
Marriage is associated with a lower risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. The emotional and practical support of a spouse can play a significant role in managing health conditions and adhering to treatment plans.

Enhanced mental health

Marriage provides a built-in support system, offering emotional stability and reducing feelings of loneliness. Having a partner to share life’s challenges and joys with can significantly boost mental well-being.

Lower rates of depression and anxiety
Married men often experience lower rates of depression and anxiety compared to their single peers. The companionship and emotional security provided by a spouse can help mitigate stress and promote a sense of well-being.

Greater life satisfaction
Men in happy marriages report higher levels of life satisfaction and overall happiness. The companionship, intimacy, and shared goals that come with marriage contribute to a fulfilling life experience.

Financial benefits

Marriage often leads to better financial stability due to combined incomes and shared financial responsibilities. Couples can benefit from dual incomes, which can make it easier to save, invest, and achieve financial goals.

Better wealth accumulation
Married men tend to accumulate more wealth over their lifetimes compared to single men. The pooling of resources and shared financial planning contribute to greater economic security and the ability to build wealth.

Financial safety net
In times of financial hardship, having a spouse can provide a crucial safety net. The support of a partner can help navigate financial challenges and provide a sense of security during difficult times.

Social benefits

Marriage often leads to an expanded social network, including the spouse’s family and friends. This broader social circle can provide additional emotional support, opportunities for social interaction, and a greater sense of community.

Increased social support
Being married can enhance a man’s social support system, providing access to a wider network of people who can offer assistance, advice, and companionship. This increased support can be beneficial in times of need.

Better integration into society
Married men often experience better social integration and community involvement. The stability and commitment associated with marriage can lead to greater participation in social and civic activities.

Personal growth and development

Marriage requires emotional investment and the development of communication and conflict-resolution skills. These experiences can lead to personal growth, increased emotional intelligence, and better interpersonal relationships.

Shared goals and aspirations
Marriage provides a framework for pursuing shared goals and aspirations. Working together towards common objectives, such as buying a home, raising children, or planning for retirement, can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Enhanced sense of responsibility
Being married often instills a greater sense of responsibility and maturity. The commitment to a spouse and, potentially, children encourages men to take on a more responsible role in their personal and professional lives.

Marriage offers numerous benefits for men, ranging from improved physical and mental health to financial stability and personal growth.

While the advantages of marriage can depend on the quality of the relationship, the support, companionship, and shared goals provided by a healthy marriage can significantly enhance a man’s overall well-being and

LP speaks on alleged strange romance with Tinubu over 2027 presidential race

Kayode Sanni-Arewa

The Labour Party (LP) has strongly rejected rumors suggesting that it is in a partnership with President Bola Tinubu in anticipation of the 2027 elections. These rumors claimed that the LP had struck an agreement to support Tinubu’s bid for a second term should he choose to run.

In response, the LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Obiora Ifoh, issued a statement on Friday, labeling these allegations as baseless and unfounded. He emphasized that the party has continually dismissed any notion of collaboration with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) concerning the upcoming 2027 general elections.

Ifoh asserted that the Labour Party remains the most prominent opposition party in Nigeria, with the party’s National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, being a leading critic of the current government. “Our National Chairman is at the forefront of challenging the policies of the government, consistently voicing opposition to the actions of the current administration,” Ifoh said.

The spokesperson also highlighted the party’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy. These include the establishment of an Electoral Reform Committee aimed at ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections, as well as the introduction of an e-membership registration system that has already attracted a significant number of new members.

Ifoh further expressed disappointment over the defamatory nature of the rumors, calling it “ridiculous and unfortunate” for anyone to attempt to undermine the Labour Party’s efforts in such a manner. “For anyone to try to tarnish the reputation of a party that is actively working to reshape the political landscape in Nigeria is truly unfortunate,” he remarked.

Finally, the Labour Party spokesperson challenged Deji Adeyanju and anyone else promoting such claims to provide concrete evidence to support their accusations. “We call on Deji Adeyanju and others to present factual proof if they believe that the leadership of our party or Mr. Abure has any intention of working with President Tinubu or the APC for the 2027 elections,” Ifoh stated firmly.

BREAKING! END of road for Fubara as FG halts allocation

The Federal government has confirmed that it has stopped the October monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee, FAAC revenue payment to Rivers State amid the ongoing crisis in the oil rich state.

The Spokesperson of the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, Bawa Mokwa, disclosed this exclusively to an online newspaper on Friday.

This comes as the Nigerian Government on Wednesday announced the approval for the disbursement of N1.1411 trillion as the October 2024 Federation Accounts Allocation Revenue to Federal, State, and local government councils.

However, a report emerged that FAAC revenue in October was not disbursed to Rivers State following a court stopping the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigerian government from carrying out such action.

Reacting to the development, Mokwa said the OAGF as a government agency will respect the court order.

Meanwhile, he stated that the October monthly FAAC revenue has not been disbursed to respective states as of filing the report.

“What I got is that the October 2024 FAAC has not been distributed yet. However, the Federal Government will obey the court order on the matter of Rivers State allocation.

“We are going to follow due diligence as long as there is no contrary order. In case there is a contrary, the status will remain,” he revealed.

He added, “The process of disbursement of the October 2024 monthly allocation is going.”.

Recall that on October 30, this year, Justice Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court barred CBN and the Nigerian government from disbursing monthly allocations to the Rivers State government.

This comes after an originating summons filed by the factional Rivers State Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule.

The Amaewhule case was based on the grounds that the Rivers State Executive, under the leadership of Simi Fubara, was yet to comply with the order of a Federal High Court directing it to re-present the 2024 appropriation bill to the Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

In the past month, the Amaewhule faction, backed by Wike, former Governor of Rivers State, had been in a political battle with Fubara.

Recall that upon the emergence of Fubara as governor, he fell apart with his predecessor, Wike, which had led to a month-long crisis in the oil-rich state.

No feud between Akpabio, Bamidele

Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele has denied ever having any altercation with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

This was contained in a statement issued by his media office noting that:

“Our attention has been drawn to fake news currently being circulated on the X handle of one Jackson Ude, a known serial blackmailer and cash-and-carry journalist.

“The post is about an alleged altercation and physical fight between Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele and President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday.

“For the record, it is a verifiable fact that Senator Bamidele has never been involved in physical assault in over two decades of his political trajectory, not even when he was a young man leading the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) as President.

“It is surprising that the purveyor of this misleading information in his selfish agenda and unprofessional conduct threw ethos of Journalism into waste bin and decided to feast on roadside gists to tarnish the image of the Senate Leader.

“We are aware that the fake news is meant to cause disaffection within the Senate and by extension; heating up the political system.

“To think that the Senate Leader, President of the Senate and other principal officers of the Senate together received the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. YU Dunhai and his delegation few minutes after leaving the plenary on Wednesday is a significant testimony against Ude’s imagination.

“Further to this, photographs of the Chinese envoys with the leadership of the Senate were widely published in today’s major national newspapers. It is equally verifiable that the Senate Leader and the Senate President both drove out of the National Assembly premises in the same vehicle yesterday.

“This time again, the Senate Leader is sounding a note of warning to all attention seekers in the ilk of Ude to be careful and not take the Leader’s gentlemanliness for granted.

“Henceforth, the Leader will be forced to use the instrumentality of the law to protect himself and his office as enshrined in the CyberCrime Act 2015.

” We, therefore, urge the public to disregard this misinformation and treat it with the disrespect it entirely deserves.
