andromida: I don't know the kind of marriages that are happening these days, presently the man is earning 60k if he presents his wife they will have 660k monthly. He'd rather the wife remains jobless and they live a hard life than have more. Same way the wife can change is the same way the brother can change.

How do you marry a woman you cannot trust or have her back.

REMEMBER change is constant...... Even TRUST u say CHANGES

Let him give the brother..
The brother would be forever indebted to
him and Indebtedness would make him
do favours worth more Dan d original 600k..

A woman that has been taking care of his brother for 2 years, and now he wants to betray her. Lest I forget, a certain age will come when a woman especially with kids wll not be able to secure a trainee job again, abeg, let him pick his wife. I don't know what some people take marriages for. Marriage is worse when the funds in the home is too little, I wonder how they are even coping with 60k in the first place.

Oh, oh, oh, I trust my Michael, speedily without a thought, na him go even edit and submit my CV. Afterall,the money is still coming into his immediate Family. Afterall, eni ti o ni eru lo ni eru.

The brother na guy, opportunities will still come, at least he doesn't have a family to take care of now.

crap...

Looking at the issue in a plain nairaland ground, no qualms... Ok.

The contract shud be awarded to the brother, when did he met u even We are talkin of someone they spend the early stage of their life closely together... If the man is not careful, he will regret it... The same way he has your curriculum vitae, i suppose he should ave his bro own and edit his bro too.

Ladies grow wing(you and i know e kin soro mo to ba di oro owo).


Being married does not guarantee total trust, and if some one is ever going to betray his trust, not his brother i say and even if he sure knows his bro would dare betray him, he wont even think twice before he sign his wife...

Simple!

let him give it to whoever he knows that is capable of doing the job between them to avoid loosing the opportunity to someone that would not perform and get rejected or sacked at the end.

ferhyntorlah: comprehension is really a BIG issue. What's selfish in wanting the brother to chart his life course? It's time for the brother to chart the course of his life; let the man recommend his brother. That way, he can be INDEPENDENT and STOP relying on his big brother!

koastar: Good day all, pls I need your advice on this issue.

A friend asked me this and I don't know what to tell him. According to him he was asked to present someone that read chemical engineering in an oil company by a close friend of his who works there.

My friend is an accountant and presently earns 60k per month where he works. He has a wife who is not working and a kid.

His wife is a chemical engineer by training and his only brother is also unemployed who read chemical engineering as well. His brother has been living with them for 2yrs now after his NYSC without job. My friend and his brother lost their parents while they were still very young and they are the only children of their parents.

My friend is now confused who to present to his friend for the job, his wife or brother. Your advice pls.

The salary for the oil job is 600k per month excluding allowances.
. Two answers. 1.if you are financially stable and don't need money that much u can gv d job to your broda. Givn your wife just doubles ur family income. Give your broda to lend him an helping hand because he will help you later when you have nothing.
2. If u need money a lot. Gv ur wyf to double your total family income and gv u more money
I personally recommend no1. But no matter the option you choose discuss it among both of them. They could add deir opinions also

You shld give it to your wife, but the bitter truth is, with a pay ration of more than1:10 between you and your wife, give it five years max, she will be the one wearing the pants in that house.

So, you really have to step up your games a notch or two.

Don't believe those that says, if she is a good wife, she will remain the same, that is an utopian dream, in the real world, he that pays the piper dictates the tune.

He should give his wife, they can in turn help the brother start up a business or even get him a job in the company when she's fully settled down there.... if he gives his brother, yes they can go as far as "striking a deal " of a particular % returns every month, but no matter how loyal and helpful the brother may be if he gets the job, a day will come when he will get a wife and start his own family, his focus will change and nobody will blame him for shifting his focus to his own family...

How many of your father's brothers are contributing to your education or contributed to your education. Is it not your mother's that made or are making anhe extra sacrifice to make sure you are educated and fed. I have seen so many cases when a man is down and he sends his children to the brothers house they become house helps to the brothers family. How many uncles put their nephews in the same school with their children. If you value your brother over your wife and mother of your children then in fact you value his children over your own. We betide you if you fall ill or worse case die you have sentenced your children to he'll. And if you were my father and u hear you had the opportunity to empower my mother and chose your brothers welfare over us your children I would spit on your grave and curse the day my mother allowed you father me.

Jman06: @Op, please and please tell your friend to recommend his BROTHER for the job. That's d wisest decision to make in this case. His wife might get the job and use her money only for her parental home while expecting her hobby to still be 'breadwinner' of the house regardless of who earns more (like we 've read many women say here on this forum), but his brother will never forget him and his family when d chips are down, considering that they have been through thick and thin together. A word is enough for the wise.

phabulous88: I'll discuss the job opening with my wife first cos she's mine and we're one. If she's willing to take it, then my brother wouldn't know about the job. If she doesn't want it, then together (my wife and I), we'll present it to my bro.

May your days be longer than it would have been. You will surely have a good marital life or will have cuS you know how to build a good home.

domwas2: I'll go for my brother
Blood is thicker, my brother and I always got our back since we were kids, even though we fight we can always come to terms...
Nowaday,married women can't be trusted when they starts working in busy organisation, talkless of single ladies.

If ur friend is ready to bear all these below tell him to go for his wife:
the late night calls,
Non-affection
Honey take the kids to school
Honey I will be coming late
On-bed, dear am tire
I can't cook
Etc
Remember it's not all about money...with all of d above dirvoce will end it all!!! Then he will later fall back to the broda who got nothing. He knows d broda b4 d wife comes in, not giving it to d broda is like been selfish.
Note: it's d ladies that is saying he should go for d wife Here hmmm dn't trust women.
