Charity begins at home,no good deed is wasted,you will be rewarded,its better spending it outside
donpeey22: Please i have a question to ask those of saying. that it's silly to make one's sibling or parent next of kin. My question is: is it also silly for me to be 'wasting' my hard earned money in paying my late uncle's son's school fees and meeting his other needs and even those of his mum atimes since his dad died leaving nothing to inherit? Please answer me so that i can stop spending my money on the lad and channel all the money in building my own family. Thanks in advance.

uplawal: The answer is your blood is better,hence your kids,part of you runs in your children,whereas your wife came from somewhere not from you, so its easier trusting that part of you.

Seriously?

Do you know what a husband or wife entails in the sense of the word? I am not talking of cleaner, cook, financier, moneybag, ATM, plumber, electrician, se.x partner, baby making machine or surname donator.

I am talking of husband et wife

Do you know what it really means?

It is the lack of trust and insencerity between couples that has brought the marriage institution to its knees. Men should stand up and be the anchor in their marriages. There may be instances where you will get what you didn't bargain for irrespective of your good intensions, but that notwithstanding, fathers should stand up and take the lead. Reading through some of the post portrays the wife as just the other person in the union. To a large extent, husbands push their wives to where they are now being labelled as the one in the union not to be trusted.

One incidence that happened some years back got stocked with me for a long time. This couple had 7 kids. The man a rank and file officer with the Nigerian Army and his wife a vegetable seller. The woman pratically took care of the family with the help of the kids who sell some other items like fufu to support the income from the vegetable sales. The man of the house is known in most popular joints at the mammy market (popular market in most Army Barracks). Where he opened a 'savings account' with the salary he collect. He misbehaved one day after being drunk, his first son landed him some series of slaps. With all the man's careless attitude, the woman was her caring self. The man took ill one day and was hospitalized. The woman sold practically all she could lay her hands on to save her husband's life. It got to that point that money became an issue and the husband was fully aware of because he was still able to communicate. Unfortunately he passed. Guess what? All the while the woman was running from pillar to post seeking how to raise money for his treatment, the man had 7k in his pocket and died with it. At that instant, the hate for the husband grew and she stopped crying. You can only had imagine what would have been her attitude to her husband afterward if he had survived the ailment.

Dcmg: As for me,for me to marry in the first place would be solely because of having children,all this "life Partner" stuff na waste of time for me,i don't believe in that thing.Like seriously,my purpose in life na to get life partner?No.
If your purpose in life is to have a life partner,good,but has for me,i'm not living my life for any fvcking life Partner.
As for me,i'm not making any woman my next of kin,if i dnt have any child then i'm giving all my estate to Charity

bukatyne:

My dear,

Some people are NOT married and do not understand what marriage means

Should my husband/wife know my salary?
Should tell my husband/wife about the raise?
Should I build a house in my name only or let my spouse know?
Should I have investments hidden & separate?
Should I iron my wife's shirt?
Should I cook rice for my wife?
Should I cook chicken for my hubby (I like fish more)?
Should I? Should I not?

Kia it is boring!

Even if the other party deserves such treatment, the marriage is not healthy in the first place.


Hahahahhahahahaha. Your 'Should I' 'Should I not?' got me laffing hard here. Them go tink say na madness.
It's annoying joor, I have never had such problems with my husband, my salary isn't even up to 1/15 of my husbands' own, yet I know his payslip, if dre is a raise/bonus he tells me. I make financial decisions, my husband is good @ earning money, he doesn't know how to spend...lol.
So all dis dia (should I), (Should I not) is veryyy boring, bc in reality if you are married to your true partner, things would just flow, u will never ask such dumb questions.

No it's not rare for a wife to be wealtheir than her husband.
Personally I think if two married peope have come to the point where they can't trust the other person to look out for the best interest of kids when one of them dies,there's something fundamentally wrong with union.
Fixing whatever that problem is,is better than living in fear and writing a funny will because you don't trust yout partner to take care of your kids
donpeey22: Yes!!! Though i know that the odds are very rare for a woman to be wealthier than her husband and/or die before him, but in the event that it happens, then, the husband does not and should not AUTOMATICALLY qualify to be the trustee to her wealth. If her children are not up to the legal age to inherit her wealth, then her most TRUSTED person, which could be her sibling, husband or friend should hold her wealth in trust for them until they are upto the legal age.

You know the truth but just don't want accept. 99% of women in their selfishness, seek wealthy men for marriage. Even women who are relatively doing well Financially still will not marry a man who isn't atleast as wealthy. It's been known that most married people lose trust way into marriage, don't be Carried away by d lovey dovey thing you are still enjoying as a newly married lady, you may understand better later in your marriage, though i pray yours wont be too bad.

It's all about the weakling complex. Most women dream of handsome, wealthy husbands to take care of them, they feel it is the right thing and exactly what they deserve in life. It's only in advanced countries that women are gradually debunking such beliefs. In Nigeria however, husbands or boyfriends are known as caregivers, from hair extensions to monthly allowance; girls are just too ridiculous. For every 10 girls in 9ja, 8 are dependent on their boyfriend or husband, the little money their parents provide or their own personal funds isn't enough to keep up with their extravagant lifestyle, they got's to belong... grin grin grin grin

Are you now saying most men are wealthy and that 99% of women seek wealthy men for marriage? So who are the people marrying the poor men? Are they not women also? Like someone once said on one thread ''men are not used to women having the financial power'' in this part of our world........

So that means 8 out of 10 guys are financial responsibly to their girlfriends/wives?

Yes! Yes! Yes! The figure could be as low as 6/10 girls when you factor in girls from very very rich background and as high as 10/10 when you factor in girls from very very poor backgrounds. The second part of your question is simple, the guys might not honor their requests but girls are still going to ask, they feel it is their God given rights as a female.

Are you trying to say that all girls from very very poor backgrounds are going to ask/are asking to be spent on by their men? And that fewer girls from very very rich background would do same? I just want to be sure i understand you clearly

donpeey22: I'm happy that you ended up accepting that the woman 'carries' her own child and not that she's being 'punished' with 'baby-carrying' like some of you make it seem. When a man and a woman agree to have children, it is because the both of them want to reproduce their genes for the purpose of continuity of life. The woman provides her egg while the man provides his s,perm(50,50). The woman carries the foetus, while the man pays her medical bills and provides her other needs throughout the nine months period(50:50). So none is doing the other an exclusive favor. The focus should be on the offspring when considering whom to inherit the spouse's wealth in the event of death. However, a DESERVING spouse can have a PORTION of his/her spouse willed to him/her. Likewise a DESERVING relative. People should not expressly be entitled to inherit their spouse's wealth in the event of death, even when they are directly or indirectly responsible for the death. Forget the 'life partner' sentiment as many of the so called 'life partners' have caused the deaths of their supposed 'life partners' for selfish gains. You know it's very rare to find an ideal partner, so in 90% cases, people marry for all the wrong reasons which in most cases are selfish.


Bottom line is someone with your ideology should lay it all out before you get married. Before you marry her tell her and those giving her in marriage to you that her financial security and stability ain't your problem. Her job is to carry the babies and cook soup for you. I am sure the whole town will line up their daughters for you. Of course you will not say that. You will not say it because anybody would imagine that something has to be wrong somewhere.

Many women want babies but not with just anybody. So yes, it is also her child but she does not need to have those babies with you. She can have babies with the type of man that would make sure she is fine if the children need her to slow down career wise to be there for them. The kind of man that if God forbid something happens to him in the midst of her career break she would not have to run to someone else to make ends meet. I know women with Masters degrees who stop work for years because of some need the family might have. I thank God that they have the type of partnership that allows for that to happen. Makes a ton of sense to me now why Nigerians leave their children with just anybody just so they can go to work. Why wouldn't they when quitting their job could mean financial ruin in the future. Where's the support? There are sacrifices made in marriage. I just wonder if you expect her to provide and care for you if God forbid you were sick or injured and not able to work for a period of time. I personally would wrap you up like a Christmas present and send you to you parents. After you are well you can come back and continue to fill up space. Why should a woman go out of her way to care for a bedridden husband when he treats her like an enemy.

Third time unlucky cos this one was not funny. But methinks the underlying issue with you is not village trouble like you so erroneously think but its that old woman that you fuc*ked some time ago then you dumped her. The thing is she placed a curse on you that you will never get laid again. So your lack of pus*sy is affecting the normal working of your brain. You have resorted to masturbation but its not helping matters. And to top it all of the old hag died of heartbreak.

No ones talking about boyfriends here. You cannot be married and even if you are you most certainly have no investment accounts. Definitely no retirement accounts or even college accounts for the kids. You cannot possibly understand the financial responsibilities both parents have to their kids if you think that expecting to have a plan that would benefit the family unit is scheming. It's called growing up and taking responsibility. What is wrong in saying one persons income could be for running the family and funding the short term emergency fund. The other could be for investments and long term savings like college funds and retirement funds. A plan like that would never work if you both are selfishly holding unto your money or if one spouse knows without a doubt that should the other drop dead they are are screwed. This is why people secretly build houses, buy land etc. why would they be honest when they know that if their spouse drops dead they would have nothing. what the hell sort of marriage is that.

Absolutely! When I say very very poor background, I mean poverty drenched household. Girls from such backgrounds are usually hard working but they are also very wise, most times they look for guys who can help their situation not one who can make it worse.

Also, girls from very very rich backgrounds are less likely to be dependent on their man's wealth. In fact, they end up being victims because they fall into the hands of guys who will exploit them for monetary gains. Now don't get me wrong there are exceptions to every rule and statistics can be skewed or manipulated but you get the gist....
