Nairaland family,

I created this account today so I can say my mind; I need your advice here.

I'm just few months shy of 34 years.

The issue now is that my mum is asking me to get married, (she's about conducting church deliverance service for me even).

Unfortunately, no job yet; I'm only hustling. Doing a few legal businesses to keep me forging ahead.

Now, I only have about 4.8 million naira; NOTHING ELSE!

I raised the money by working my ass off; doing only LEGAL businesses (graphics, web, writing), etc.

Now, the challenge is, business is not consistent because it's 99.9% online based.

But, I also wish to settle down now, in fact, before 35 years (when I was younger, I was hoping I would be married by 29). Alas! Life is not a bed of roses.

Also, I wish to further my education.

So, I need your precious advice:

If you want to advise me as your family member, close to 35 years of age, struggling, no job, but hardworking; do you think I should settle down whilst still looking for greener pastures?

Note: I don't have a fiancee or gf right now.

P. S. If you have any REASONABLE job offer for me, I will gladly take it as I am open for negotiations.

I can do any LEGAL biz or job, locally or internationally; including waiter, morgue attendant, etc, once the pay is 'comparatively' equal to the risk of the job.

Please, save a brother.

If you were able to raise #4.8m on your own I don't know what u need a job for, you r already a job

You even have 4.8 million Naira.

For this Buhari’s Next level and you have 4.8M You’re a Wealthy man, sire.

4.8 million and you still say nothing and looking for a job. Wonderful. When watching soccer, I know a good player by what he does off the ball and not what he does with the ball.

Lekwa gi lekwa goalkeeper.

I must commend you sir, firstly for your courage and resilience against the challenges of life.

YOU ARE NOT LATE MY BROTHER, PLS NOTE THAT.

Now as regarding your issue... It is simple o.

First get into a REAL RELATIONSHIP (no time for games). The Lady needs to be working class or a thriving business owner who is submissive to you and ready to support you.

Next, understand that the 4.8 you have is PARTLY for BUSINESS and for wedding. so HALF IT. Let 2million be kept for the wedding. Whomever you will marry can add to it. YES.... at that age Ladies are more mature and understand that it is 50/50.

2 million is enough for a good wedding... YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO IMPRESS ANYONE OR CALL IN BLOGGERS AND PAPPARAZZI or feed 5000 like Jesus. See, 2million is even more than enough.

Next... KINDLY consider agricultural businesses and investments.... Also Kindly learn how to import and buy and sell online and offline. 800k is more than enough for BOTH businesses I just mentioned. GOATTI gives 30% every 6months. AGROPARK gives 70-80% on a plot for farming under 10 months. You can move your 4.8 to 6million with these and others based on your research and wise judgement.

Another thing sir is to BUY an ORIGINAL plot of Land from the remaining 2million, which is less than a million. NOT ON THE ISLAND O.
LAND IS ALWAYS AN ASSET and will always increase in its worth.

Uber/Taxify business can also help you sir, you can get a good car for less than 800k and begin doing it and being your own boss. There is no shame in such BUSINESS. This gives you 30K WEEKLY

Keke business is also lucrative, it gives you 25k weekly if you have a driver on higher purchase. A keke is currently 660-720k. TVC is the best brand.

You are a STRONG MAN and I salute you. Kindly NOTE that you have everything it takes for wealth, it is just a matter of time. 34 YEARS is not OLD.... you are still a youth. Kindly follow the little common sense I have shared and be happy the rest of your life.
NEVER WAIT FOR EMPLOYMENT... SELF EMPLOYMENT WITH WISE INVESTMENTS is what thrives these days o.

I wish you all the best.

Madam take a deep breath,the important thing here is that you want to get married.Do yourself a favour,when you see a man,avoid passing off any femenist tendency cus men love Meek Ladies not the arrogant type.From your words above,you are the only women on NL that has ever sounded real,smart and attractive...



















































































Albeit,the 4.something million naira is doing the magic but truly you do sound like a nice one.

Why I am a bit worried about your post is that at 30+ you are not certain n sure of your destiny environment where you can constantly make money n keep expanding. If this is not settled, do not venture into marriage. If you do, you will end up exhausting that small 4.8m you saved.

So what is my advice, make sure you are 100% sure of what you are called to do, if this is settled, you can then bring in a wife not a women, to join you. Mark my Word, you will enjoy urself.

@Jcole1985, thanks for your input. But I'm a young man, not a woman. Maybe you will consider if you would re-address your advice towards me as male. Thanks again.

@inforesource, I need prayers.

I knew it,no NL girl can sound smart,all wayward kids,Oga ask your mom to look for a wife for you.Parent's match never fails,Check history.

4 8 million? What the heck are you waiting for again?!
Ooops, no o girlfriend or fiancee.



Are you saying you were really introverted you never had female friends you could toast?

I think if I were the one, I'd do as @Jcole1985 said. Get hooked up with a lady searched for by your parents since you are possibly an introvert. Forget all these awon 'age is but a number' crew. You have the money, why linger? You can never gather money as you want for this life . Even Dangote still dey find money.

Should I be frank with you @onlyhope, I hate that Word you used "I NEED PRAYERS". Not that I hate prayers, but I have come to realised that many people make use of this phrase to shift responsibility or spiritualised what requires action and work. So check the intent of that Word you used.

onlyhope:
@inforesource, I need prayers.

@inforesource,
I get your point. I will try and work hard, and pray harder because life itself is a mystery. You're on point sir.

@johntitus,
I'm an ambivert actually.

I will consider your advice. Last December (2018), my mum suggested a lady.

But I told her (my mum) she cannot choose a wife for me. I don't like arranged marriages. It kind of pisses me off (even in movies).

May God see you through. Trust in Him and you will never regret it. Take care.

Amen (to the prayers). Thanks for your comforting inputs.

You have 4.8m hmmm DTS alot of money, most people working for 20 years now do not have such savings.

Why not create job for yourself

Just use 1.5m and buy a clean Toyota sienna for transport biz and become a commercial driver.

U need multiple sources of income so that if online doesn't pay then offline can pay.

As for marriage u must start thinking seriously about it and plan to settle down in 2 years time when your offline transport biz is up n running

@ogawisdom,
Your wisdom is outstanding as your name implies.

Thank you so much.

@op, only hope, it took you how long (how many months or years) to make that 4.8mil naira with the online gigs? As per your question, you've enough money to work with. Get a simple woman with something doing ...not a slay queen, have a simple wedding, build ur life together

Onlyhope I saw someone's suggestion about investments. You've done well saving up to that amount, all you need is investment. As for marriage, pls only marry when your mind is set for it, so you don't have regrets. Try and socialize a bit more, but be cautious of how you spend too. Look for someone who is ready to bring something to the table as well.

Be careful with your choices of investment too!
Good luck

If you were able to raise #4.8m on your own I don't know what u need a job for, you r already a job

God bless you jare, what else is he looking for? Op, its not necessary you do elaborate wedding, save cost, then plan for the future of your marriage, with you doing your job, you will be smiling . I pray that God will give you your own woman as a wife. Best luck

People still marry with less then that money, it's all about good planning, investment and determination

Please don't tell me you kept #4.5m in a savings account all these years.


Anyway, you worry too much. There is no business without some levels of risk. Worried the internet may shut down someday and keep you out of business? Well, even that oil company worries about the future of oil, banks worry about the future of traditional notes, etc.

I may be wrong but I don't think you make less than 250k a month (I'm assuming you pay your rent and bills).

You've got to be kidding me! Do his parents know what he wants in a woman? Such a warped mentality.
