khingTony:
just budget like 500-600k for the wedding,
60k-90k monthly earnings is fair enough

luckygeee:

can 60k be enough to take care of a home? and besides do you think 600k will cover the cost of both traditional wedding and white wedding?
anyway, thanks for your opinion, its well appreciated.

mrbyron:
No less than 100k monthly and the girl the guy is getting married to must be working too, earning no less than 50k monthly

highpriestess:
500k.

please, take note, starting a family is one Herculean task.

khingTony:

alright, initially you didn't say you are "rich", and you didn't say you want a "big Wedding"
well, if you are rich and earn big monthly, 3 million naira won't be too much for a wedding
the amount I stated Earlier was for an average income earner, 60K can take care of a home, but can't guarantee you a comfortable life, and your partner should be able to assist you.

luckygeee:

do you mean for the total cost of the wedding or for your monthly earning?

highpriestess:

monthly earnings.

luckygeee:

are u saying you cant get married to a guy dat earns below 500k monthly?

highpriestess:

why should i do that?

luckygeee:

do you know that more than 90% of Nigerians do not earn up to 500k monthly?

highpriestess:

That's what you think.

luckygeee:

am am average earner, but am trying to come to terms how 60k monthly income can be managed in the home

SBL28:
In my opinion, my opinion o, for this Nigeria wey we dey, you need to be earning at least N150k per month before you consider getting married.

khingTony:
well, it may be tough, but there are some people who earn less yet, still able to manage it

luckygeee:

so can you marry a guy who earns less?

SBL28:


It depends on the particular guy in question. Yes, if he has the important qualities I want in a man, with big plans and a bright future.

luckygeee:

how nice! i didnt know that nigerian girls still look at a guy's future in this age and time. if i may ask, what are some of those important qualities you need in a man

courna:

easy na....

you get problem with op before

luckygeee:
guys and ladies in the house. please how much do you think a guy's monthly earnings should be before he can think of getting married. please i really need your sincere opinion on this issue cause i plan on settling down anytime soon. secondly i will also love your opinion on how much do you think is the least amount a guy should have as savings to cover up the cost of marriage rites and overall celebration expenses.

rottennaija:


Bros, that thing is all about good understanding between you and the perspective spouse. Even if you earn say 40k, you can still get married, but it is important to marry someone who is working, at least for support.

In terms of the cost of the marriage, it depends on the family, if the family is understanding enough, they can keep the cost low, of course some families wouldn't want to, which on that case, you may want to reevaluate your priorities. Personally, I will do one, either traditional or wedding, not both. Marriage is marriage, either traditional or wedding, the important thing is you start your own family legally. What is important is the marriage not the occasion in itself.

But if you are waiting to earn 150k before you get married, you may end up marrying at age of 40 and, like a friend I have said, 'you don't want to be training your children with your pension instead of your salary'
thanks bro.
You just have to make a decision and stick to it

luckygeee:

bro sincerely, how many people earn up to 100k monthly. wow! dat means dat a lot of Nigerians will have to stay unmarried. thanks all the same for your opinion it is very welcomed
