Maybe Women have this secret that Men don't know about. Maybe it is just in their nature. Maybe it is because the man spends his lifetime looking for wealth while the woman is mostly a housewife or part time worker. The truth is that based on statistical records, women tend to live longer than men. Most men tend to die in their 60 - 80 years of age but Women can live longer and at times up to 100 years if they take care of themselves well.
My maternal grandmother died around last year but we don't really know her age although it is estimated to be around mid 90s but her husband and my grandfather, I never saw.
In your own words why do the average Nigerian women live longer than the average Nigerian man?

I think the answer has been given by some one. Nigerian men all their life strive to make ends meet for the family not that women don't but men do most of the time and in the process die young.
Most Nigerian women don't have good job to reasonably assist the family not that they are not qualified. This makes the men the sole provider.
