She needs to know how much you earn at this stage of your life. This is to guide you against the consequences of unknown exaggerations and perceived net worth. This woman may have exaggerated your earnings based on your outlook, quality of clothes, phones, and the nature of food you eat.

It is not compulsory to tell her if you're sure and convinced about your ability to meet all her needs. You'll know from the amount she spends on herself, clothings, shoes, hair, etc. But if you aren't there yet, please speak up! Don't live a lie.

I don't even get.

Why's it not a given, even at this?

It's just a detail. An information. Like every other thing else they'll know about themselves.

It is not necessary for me.
I don't know my man's earnings,
I have never bothered to ask. I will never ask.
I have never even asked a man that question. Lol!

The closest I got to knowing how much he has stacked was when he sent me one of his bank statements for a trip we had planned. I saw the numbers and understood why men hide their earnings. If I were someone into flashy life, i would probably ask for a GLE the next day, but that one is not my issue. What I need is for a man to be handson to recurring expenses and things that make my life easier. If you miss this with me, all your money talk becomes noise.



The most important thing to me is that a man PROVIDES, INVESTS AND SAVES.

Some men would tell you their earnings, both current and future, but hungry fit wan kill you. You go know say some money get audio, but no visuals. You go dey hear am, but e no go show for screen or your body.

He provides...I RESPECT and APPRECIATE that.
He tells me of planned investments and expenditure. He doesn't tell me of the money he sends to his side. That is none of my business too. Highest he would say his fam needs this or that and if he needs a plug, I guide him.

Life with him is easy. I can't complicate it with bogus expectations or drama.

The more men talk,
The less they do.

Focus on actions. That is what would make a woman respect and remember you.
When you see this kinda comment after dating like 2 or 3 daughters of second Timothy, you will begin to wonder if the person is real or pretending.

You should let your partner know so you two can negotiate what you spend money on.

Biko let her know your salary so that she can know if the future is bright for her or not.

Is not as if you’re earning millions of naira monthly undecided. I’m absolutely sure you’re not even earning common 100k monthly. Biko don’t come and put someone’s daughter in abject poverty!!

Wait what!! ABSOLUTELY SURE?? How so? Are you guys related or you saw it in the spirit?

You lots just speak like you never went to sch!

I had to check your profile and can I see the vile and bitter in almost every comment you make on NL.

Go and heal sis, deal with whatever heart break of brokenness you might have experienced in the past, detach from them and then come back and speak with sense.
Life is so beautiful, to be walking about with so such ill spirit.

Seek help, heal and spread love always.

Ire oooo.

I’ve been dating this girl since early last year when I was still serving and she’s really into me. She doesn’t bill me unless I purposely send her something. And we occasionally hangout a lot too.

By mid last year, I brought her home to meet my mum and some of my siblings. My mum likes her so much and she would spend time with me in our house.

I finished my service around September last year, and I started hunting for job. I was taking online classes etc..

So I got a job earlier this year, and the pay isn’t bad. Only my mum knows how much I’m earning and few friends. My girl doesn’t know.

Now, I’m likely to be getting a pay rise this month.

I’m also planning to get married to this girl next year, hopefully, she’s been a good girl even when I was jobless.

I don’t know if it’s okay to let her know my salary range. Although I’d not be telling her specifically the amount.

Is this a good idea?
If you have both agreed to marry, start being transparent

It as a very bad idea...especially when you dont know her true colour just yet...its advisable to just discuss in percentages how you will split expenses

Don’t even try to tell her your worth but always show her your worthy by telling her you didn’t worth this and that

Dating isn't the same as marriage. Let the kids roll in and the stakes get higher. The "side" you're waving aside will come to the forefront because everything is now official. Make he by mistake nor fulfill him side because of una projects na that time you go surprise where you marry enter.

You're still on the other side and it's usually rosy on the other side.

It is choking you throat to tell her your salary range. Can I address you as mumu man? What is the purpose of you telling her your "range"? That is how wahala will stay on its own, people will poke him to wake up.
Na so we brothers many years ago, some pepe entered our hands, our wives knew, for some of us, the problems that came was unwarranted. We wisened up. Few years later, same thing happened again, money enter, all man talk say them go keep am hush hush. Just make transfers to your respective madams accounts.
Our egbon that was newly married (married late), we adviced him not to disclose. He said at marraige classes, they told them not to keep things from their wives. Love still de shack am. Bros even despite our warning, went to do joint account join put! We kept quite.
Omo, what he used his eyes to see, it is not taught in class rooms, it is learnt through experience.
The next time we share money, it was my egbon that was telling us say make we no tell our madams ohh, so they will not sound it to his own madam by mistake. Lol
