I'm a of dude of about 28 years, I just finished my NYSC program and I secured a job that pays me about 50k, my girlfriend who is about 25 years too just acquired a job that pays her about 60k per month too.

Is it advisable I go for M.Sc. program or just settle down for marriage with my girlfriend and then follow my career later.

We both stay at Ibadan, the city is averagely okay.

What's your take ?
You can get married, delay having kids for 2yrs so that you can fund your master program

This a very critical period in a man's life,this is where most young dude missed the mark that lead to everlasting regret.Marriage is the union with the greatest responsibilities on mother earth,by the time you jumped into it,you will start seeing things you didn't bargain for.In marriage,spoons today can become forks tomorrow.
Young dude,your future is of paramount importance above any other thing right now.
Start saving now,for the future and jettison marriage from your mind right now.it can drain you financially,emotionallyphysically and spiritually.
Sighs... thanks!

OP, I don't think getting married with a 50k pay and as a new graduate is a wise thing to do, I will suggest you go for a Master Degree or preferably go for professional courses in your chosen field, in the next lets say 3-5yrs you will have been grounded in your chosen field, hopingly with a better job and a better pay, and you must have gain more years of experience, physically more mature then you can think of getting married. I don't think 3-5yrs from now is too long for you to prepare yourself. Let me give you some reasons why I think you should wait for few more yrs.


1. 50k as your monthly earning is too low to settle down with & live an average life.
2. After marriage kids might start coming in, trust me catering for kid(s) is a lot of responsibilities, financially, emotionally, and physically. (this is from experience, I have been married for over 9yrs and my wife and I earn above 300k monthly, but trust me, its still not easy)

3. You need to be sure of you/your partner's emotional, mental and physical maturity, marriage require alot of emotional and mental maturity. (we don't want our society to thrive on fail marriages/home).
4. 3-5yrs from now you will be more experienced in your chosen career or possibly hold a Masters Degree, hopingly you will also be earning reasonable pay, with the experience you have garner even if you lose your job, you can easily get another job, but right now with a 50k monthly pay and less than 3yrs experience, it might be difficult for you to get another job incase you lose the present job and that will affect your marriage/ life negatively.

Kindly think over all these and more before making your final decision, marriage is a very serious commitment, take alot of time to think over it, it will save you alot of regrets in the future.


You can send me a pm, if you need someone to talk to on this

I wish you luck.

Thanks so much bro

Family planning, good idea, but here in Africa, ones you get married you will be pressured to have kids.

Go for a career so you can get a better job and save up .. this will also give you time to mature

I advise men to get married from age 30 years minimum, that way you are more matured and less likely to act like a brat in marriage
drop that mindset,maturity doesn't have anything to do with age.

50k to start your family? That's too risky man

Forget about her own contribution.. You know women can swear talk you to do anything especially when it comes to marriage matter

I will advise you to put both marriage and Msc aside and focus on your current job

Am in a similar situation, I just secured a FG job. My salary a bit higher than his and i intend settling down. I don't have plans of getting kids in the first 2yrs. Bae is still a student ,she's good. don't know if she's gonna buy my idea

Pls is there any vacancy at your work place I seriously need a job. I stay in Abuja. I hope you'll get to make the decisions that'll enlarge your coast

I was about to say something but you took those words right out of my mouth.

All I can say is one word - KPOM!



O pari

Balistic4:
She is already earning more than you and you want to settle down, many will tell you that it is no big deal, but just watch out as time teaches you lesson of all times. Very few ladies are worth the risk and I might bet my right stuff that she might not be among that few.

by the way, why are there so many uncertainties in you statement?

lol sho mo age mi ni ?grin considering am 28, if I marry at age 30... my first child will be around 20 when am 50... it's not good to raise a child when u are old, I had a fair share of it, my parents where old when I was growing up, and I know how tough it is... no one is ready to help u train a child at the current times, one has to plan well.

That's the reason I posted it the first place so as to know if am on the right track or sliding away.

thanks for your advice smiley
