I dnt want my wife hassling me for soup money,etc

You mean you don't know the living condition in Nigeria? The only thing you get here is being mocked.

tpacalipse: Whatever you earn can never be enough for a Nigerian woman. Trust me. Just let her understand what u are capable of before the marriage, so that she won't become a problem for you after due to money issues. Keep what you earn to yourself if u could and make sure all official documents are kept away from where she can have access to them. Never let her know the lawyer who will execute ur will, u might regret if you violate this. And lastly, once you are married, never engage in extramarital affairs, they won't pay you, because grasses have never been found to be greener at the other side. Same ni gbogbo won. But if u ever divorced in the end, do not ever remarry, ain't worth it. Ignore these at ur own peril.

Make sure you earn more every year, PERIOD!

I totally agree with you. I made a mistake with the lady I just broke up with, reason been I told her about my pay package and this was my undoing. she started taking me to shoprite now and then, she will buy stuff for her mother, brothers n sisters, sometimes her father, part sponsoring the servicing of her car etc. she does it systematically that I didn't initially code but later it blown out.
She works as well but when I complain she will say I earn more than her.

Re: How Much Should A Potential Nigerian Husband Earn? by Ezionye(f): 2:23pm On Oct 24, 2013
well, I do not think there is a particular amount but at least u shd earn something and work harder to earn more cos needs increase. you shd let her know your salary range and if she makes a decision to marry you, then she is willing to operate within that range. *my thoughts*

I like this classification cheesy I dey between trunk B & C lipsrsealed
Promhize: LAGOS (Trunk A) = 5million/month
LAGOS (Trunk B) = 1million/month
LAGOS (Trunk C) = 400k/month
LAGOS (Trunk D) = 100/month
PH (Trunk 1) = 500k/month
PH. (Trunk 2). = 150k/month
ABJ. (Trunk A) = As much as possible wink
Onitsha = 250k/month
Calabar - 250k/month - 500k/month
Kano - 100k/month


LDT(less developed towns)
Ife, Osogbo, Ekiti, Ilorin, Ebonyi - 50k/month is enough

Village - A small farm

Fadelex: what d husband is earning is not even d issue but how he is able to manage it. I've seen people earning 200k but couldn't account for somethin reasonable they did with d money while some earn just 50k and could cater for their needs. but a potential husband earning should be enuf to pay rent, feed 3 people, and pay utility bills.
u want figure?? no figure is enuf, d more u earn d greater ur responsibilities
Simply agree Figures would not be appropriate since as earnings grow the standard grows!!! U should be able to cater for your family needs

To me, poor people should not marry so that they will not bring innocent kids into the world to suffer deprivations in abject poverty as majority of them do in Nigeria.

As harsh as this sounds, it partly mirrors my thoughts on the matter. It makes no sense whatsoever to drag children into this terrible world to subject them to suffering they did not bargain for. I guess I consider myself a 'conditional' anti-natalist. One needs to have the capacity to provide at least a decent quality of life for his offspring before rushing to marry and procreate.
