Abroad yes but in Nigeria you people should shut the crap. How do you expect someone barely surviving with minimum wage to go and marry. This is suicide I tell you. It would have been better if you can marry a working class woman but in Nigeria how many woman are empowered to be working for themselves.

Since I started living alone I stopped blaming my farther for not giving me those good life I dreamt off because I have experience so much about earning money and spending money. I tell you it's not easy not to talk of adding someone who will always stay at home and add to your misery.

You want to send young men to their early grave. Marriage is not for the faint hearted because if you are not prepared financially, psychologically and physically too, you will even regret bringing a child to this world. And your wife may reach a point to even insult you and cheat on you with another man when you can't provide. Maybe you haven't been to the market to price baby food and accessories.

I pity anyone who falls with this advice. Exception is when you have a woman willing to support you financially too.

Op, you are high ? I know few of my friends that got married by impregnating the girls after our graduation then. Most of them are regretting that action till today. Unless you have enough financial backup or a good source of income, early marriage can only lead to elongated frustration and misery.

chiommy123:
op you are very correct and I stand with you on this one. you know that's the major problem with our young men these days waiting for billions and trillions, own houses, etc before they think of settling down and before this things come they are in their mind 40s or early 50s for some deceiving themselves that its only women that have biological clocks forgetting it affects them too. so make una follow op advice. it is well

Blonchilli:

How many young men between the ages of 22-28 as the Op said can even take care of themselves not to talk of a family. Not everyone is waiting for the millions and billions as you said but is the money coming?

Blonchilli:

Spot on. I know a graduate who has a son but because his family can't support everything and no job he's taking 12k job just to feed the child. Having a child ties someone down, makes you settle for less also

BluntBoy:


Biological clock does not affect men. Men don't go through menopause.

chiommy123:
yes but they are the ones to be paying school fees at 80

BluntBoy:


Alright. But then, that is a social factor, no biological. If the man has made his money, then it wouldn't be any stress.

But a woman at forty, aside harboring the fear of menopause, also has to fear giving birth to children with congenital defects like Down syndrome. There are also issues such miscarriages, pretem delivery, stillbirth, and many more. Their chances increases with a woman's age. Yes you may be right. But still children are gift from God. There are women in their twenties that can not have children

BluntBoy:

Saff:
Dont deceive yourself sir. Biological clock is physical, mental and psychological. It’s not only about reproducing. You have a biological clock. Having your first child in your 40s is not ideal. You can’t even physically play very well with your children after 50, your body won’t be able to handle it. Marry young, hustle at a young age so you can enjoy the fruits of your labour.
