Sexual Market Value, Divorce, and the Nigerian Couple: A Market Analysis
The SMV Framework
Sir Dickson's thesis on Sexual Market Value (SMV) posits that human sexuality operates like any other commodity market, labour, capital, or goods, where exchange occurs based on perceived value, and that perceived value is heavily indexed to age. Specifically, a woman's sexual desirability peaks in youth and declines with age, while a man's desirability peaks later, rising in proportion to his financial and social status. This asymmetry in the timing of peak value between the sexes is the engine that drives the market's dysfunction.
This is not mere theory, the evidence is visible in the growing population of unmarried Nigerian women aged 30 - 40, both in Nigeria and in the UK diaspora, a demographic reality that signals a structural breakdown in how matches are being made and sustained.
The Market's Two Transactions: Lease vs. Purchase
I expound on Sir Dickson's framework to distinguish two modes of participation in this market:
A. Leasing: short-term arrangements (flings, situationships, casual relationships) where value is exchanged temporarily, with no expectation of permanence.
B. Outright Purchase: marriage, where a man makes a permanent, legally binding acquisition, historically formalised through bride price and the biblical injunction that "a man shall leave his father's house" to seek a wife.
The critical insight, and the one that connects directly to divorce, is that these two transactions are governed by entirely different motivations, yet, they draw from the same pool of participants, and crucially, they do not happen simultaneously for men and women.
The Timing Mismatch: The Root of Divorce
Consider the archetypical case: a 33-year-old Nigerian man marrying a 32-year-old Nigerian woman.
Her journey through the market:
In her early-to-mid twenties, she was at peak SMV. Older, financially established men - "sugar daddies" and "big bros" - leased her commodity. These men, having already climbed the economic ladder, concealed the struggle behind gifts: phones, chocolates, trips, and attention. To her young mind, this generosity was maturity. She had no reference point for the years of grinding that produced it. What she absorbed instead was a standard - a baseline expectation of what men do, what men provide, and how men treat women. By 32, she carries multiple body counts, a finely tuned sense of entitlement, and a definition of male maturity that was written by men who were 15–20 years ahead of where her future husband currently stands.
His journey through the market:
Culture and biology conspired against his early participation. He was socialised to understand that access to the market is conditional on financial capacity, that is, without money, he would receive, at best, reluctant and loveless engagement (pity fuck). So he delayed, focused on building, and by 33, he is stable enough to participate meaningfully. But rather than leasing, which would have been the rational market entry point, he goes directly to purchase. He marries.
The collision:
Inside the marriage, she unconsciously benchmarks him against the men of her leasing years. He is found wanting, not because he is inadequate in absolute terms, but because he is being compared to men who were decades ahead of him when she knew them. She reads his stage of development as immaturity. He reads her expectations as unreasonable. When he raises the question of shared financial responsibility in the home, she meets it with contempt, because the men in her formative years never asked her to split anything.
She married to exit the market, He married believing he had finally entered it. Both are disappointed, and the divorce follows.
Together Towards the New Nigeria That Is Possible
On this June 12, Democracy Day, I had useful meetings with my partners in the building of the New Nigeria that is Possible: our great party’s National Leader, H.E. Senator Seriake Dickson, and our party’s Vice Presidential candidate, H.E. Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. The NDC, as a party that is barely four months old, despite the challenges, remains the party of the future, and the fruitful discussions at the meetings clearly underscore this fact.
The leaders and members of a committed political family must be willing to make sacrifices and show tolerance and accommodation, even in difficult circumstances. This shared understanding is essential for building trust, strengthening unity, and sustaining the vision we collectively hold for national transformation.
We are all committed to this goal. The NDC remains the vehicle that will convey Nigeria through purposeful, compassionate leadership, with firm commitment to productivity and democratic ideals towards the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

Super excited to share that our systematic review on the facilitators and barriers to blood and blood product accessibility and use in sub-Saharan Africa has just found a home and been published with @FrontiersIn#HealthServices.
The concept for this paper was somewhat unconventional, but one that we strongly felt needed to be included in the conversation about blood and blood product access and use on the African continent.
It has been a journey, through multiple reviews, drafts, and navigating possible outlets for publication since our first submission in 2024. I am delighted that it is finally being shared with the world!

Every top, dick and Harry has advice for Peter Obi. Peter obi should do xyz. Even me, a political nobody, i follow to dey make demands of Peter Obi. They say Peter obi will lose 2027 election, whose ultimate loss will that be. Peter obi go dey very ok. Will you?
The Nigeria we seek is one where every child, regardless of tribe, religion, gender, or background, has access to quality education, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive.
A Nigeria where leadership is built on competence, character, and accountability not ethnicity, patronage, or empty promises.
A Nigeria where young people are not forced to leave in search of opportunities, but can build successful lives and businesses at home. A nation where security is guaranteed, justice is accessible, and hard work is rewarded.
The Nigeria we seek is one that invests in its people, protects its resources, strengthens its institutions, and restores the dignity of its citizens.
It is a Nigeria where diversity becomes our strength, not our division; where elections are decided by ideas, not intimidation; and where every citizen believes that tomorrow can be better than today.
This Nigeria is possible with @PeterObi if only if we choose participation over apathy, unity over division, and nation-building over personal interests. The future we desire will not be handed to us; it must be deliberately built by all of us.

This research work on breast cancer was published 6 days ago - and I think it is important to share some insights.
BreastGPT is the name of the model. This will significantly improve the chances of breast cancer patients.
