I opened this thread in order to encourage a guy that is planning to start a family with 35,000 naira salary. I started my owm family in the year 2003 as a young graduate with a morally upright and understanding lady then (now wife). We started our family based on understanding, adequate planning and above all prayers was key and it is still key in our day to day activities.
The planning started with number of kids, we make sure that the age difference between the first born and second born is seven years. The first born is about to write WAEC now while the second born is in pry 4. The age difference between the second born and our last born is eight years . The last born is just eight months old.
The saving aspect of it my wife is not the type that ask for designer this -designer that or natural hair that cost 35,000 Naira on monthly basis we. practically save a lot.
By special grace of God I now buy all these moderate natural hair like (Brazilia, passion, Peruvian) for her because I can now afford them. In addition to this I spend 34,100 Naira on layers mash (fowl feed on weekly basis and 85,000 naira on durante fish feed on monthly basis. we moved to our house 3-bedroom flatt in june 2015 (pictures attached)
In summary a guy that is planning to start a family with 35,000 naira salary must not go for a slay queen that Will be demanding for a designer this - designer that or expensive hair that cost 35k at the initial stage or else the marriage will crash like MMM.
Finally, my regards to all hardworking ladies/women around because a good lady/wife is an investment while a bad lady/wife is a bill.
May God continue to bless all the morally upright lady/woman.

Why do we just
compare 2003 with
2017...
Things were equally hard
then, after wasted two good
yrs writing aptitude tests
from one multinational
company to another
(2001-2003) ranging from
UTB, Arthur Andersen and
Erngst and Young test at
Victoria Island lagos to
Chevron test at Gbagada
Lagos, Total test at P/H
city to Geo science work at
Tundun Wada jos. I actually
passed some of the tests to
interview levels then I
decided to go for my master
degree in geophysics
combining it with 5,500
naira job. After the msc I
was contemplating on what
to do then I came across
this Robert Mugabe wise
words
"when your salary comes in
time you eat chicken. As
the ssalary reduces you eat
product of chicken (eggs)
and subsequently you begin
to eat chicken's food
( maize and millet), and
finally when salary is
finished, you become
chicken itself, spending
your time walking around
just looking for what to eat"
I opted for
entrepreneurship.I actually
bought the land in 2013
finished it up in 2014.

Good girls are going extinct these days...

They are extinct already ...

3,300 is as good as 15k then. Nice one though, nothing is permanent. A man's status can change within a day.

There are still many good girls. Just that the bad ones are the ones we come across disturbing the social media, updating different status and uploading sifferent pictures daily. And Social media is our major place of meeting and also a place we visit often.
The good girls on social media are hardly active.

Our attachment to social media has made us to forget there are lives outside the social media, making us to generalize.

rafa9, kimcutie, smellinganus and bluntboy come and read dont wait 4 millions b4 u marry and dont go 4 slay queens

Bro thank you for this
Let me go before some chicks start attacking op

Some of them will say buhari regime is the problem

What they don't know is that anyone who isn't ready for something will always look for excuse not to do it

BluntBoy:


Baby, you are the one delaying. Hope you know?

ok am not ready go 4 another

Cut ur coat according to ur pocket

To be frank i have made up my mind not to marry without having $30billion minimum in my account.

BluntBoy:

SmellingAnus:

there are good ones dat is where prayer comes in

Write ups like this are motivational.Struggling guys should keep their hopes high....happy days ahead!

I thank God for this kind of lady he bestowed me with, we shall settle down soon.
Anyway I have paid her bride price.

my uncle got married on 12k a salary in 2007 (i saw his letter of employment), today he earns over 75k (same as his wife) and has 4 kids. many girls are just setting standards they cant keep up with because they are either dating a 'yahoo boy', still receiving allawee from their parents or have lots of other ways to earn money.

all you need is an understanding woman with good managerial skills to take care of your resources. nairaland girls be acting as if marriage is for the man only forgetting it takes two to make it work. marry a man and build with him, he will respect you more

Hallelujah somebody ..uncle op just gave a wonderful testimony... Can the romantic choir give us a danceable song to celebrate the achievement...

As in eh, then things were cheap and 5500 had value.

You cant compare 2003 with 2017 cos our girls don go mad with this phones and other flashy worldly things
