As much as an oilworker's earnings.

philip0906:


A man who has money or makes more than enough should set the standards: he’s at the driver seat. He has the bargaining chip which is quantifiable and measurable-money. He will only be matched by a woman who has as much as he has and that’s where the issue of moral character and all can come to play-negotiation.

As long as women don’t work towards been independent and match their male counterparts in the money chain, a man will continue to drive the narrative.

erico2k2:


if my sister says she wants to be a rev I would support her, my JOB is supporting not dictate, this is where you are getting me mixed up, no one is dictating rather helping and support is the watchword, now that's family for you. We do that well in Africa better than the Europeans. There is no fear in helping one's sister get a head start as regards age, yes this is true sad reality but it's true we can't sugarcoat it. tell me would not like a young, attractive,well to do and educated woman for a wife?

UyaiIncomparabl:


Good for you. Now listen, never attack me again!

Like 500K is ideal. Last last 300K. I did not come to this life to suffer.

When is my Ned Nwoko arriving naw?

nwanneni:
Or else what?
You wanna bully me?lol.
If we have contrary views,I'll always point it out if I see it,irrespective of how you feel about it and there is little or nothing you can do about it my friend

philip0906:

Unfortunately, it’s biased. Reason women should strive to match their male counterparts by balancing the very unbalanced money ratio, not all the trivial nonsense they fight over in the name of feminism.

Safiaa:
Going by what you’ve said the only people required to have standards are men who have a substantial amount of money. What do we say to all the penniless men that have a list from A to Z? Guy wake up and be realistic ,if we go by your logic then 80% of Nigerian men will be condemned for having standards because they Do not have money that enables them to sit in the ‘drivers’ seat without question. The real problem is the hypocrisy against women setting a standard for themselves that men do not approve of. Periodddd.

MariaLavina:
huh?

Mizwisdom:


Agreed but when you prepare a girl child to be a good wife as opposed to a business mogul, you'll definitely get the result. This is the reason we hardly see females closing that unbalanced money ratio.

philip0906:

1. A penniless man has no standard and should set no standard but he is wired mentally to hustle for his money rather than depending on a woman. You don’t see majority of men making noise that they want a woman who earns more than them.
2. A penniless woman on the other hand is wired to depend on a man for money. You see majority of women making noise that they want want a man who earns more than them.
See the difference?

The 80% quotation holds no water because women still depend on men to get by. Remember standards are different and relative.

What about those who don't earn monthly salary. Won't they marry again?

FreelanceRebel:


Use calculator to sum and divide

dingbang:
There is no limit as to how much a man should have before getting married. If you are 25 years old and you are waiting for a 200k salary and by the time you are 30, you get a job of 120k, you would have realized that if you went on to marry with what you had at 25, your first child would have been 5yrs old when you clocked 30.

This kind of wisdom is not taught in schools so I don't expect first class or literate people to understand.

jackals:
I'm not trying to sugarcoat here please, neither am I trying to act a saint. But to be sincere, I am more attuned to a man's sense of self than his money or any other thing. A man that is sensible enough to hold me through life, who love me and will never leave me for any other. thats all that matter to me.

This dosnt mean I dont like money. I like money pass money self, but it is not my priority, it is just a plus

For a man living in Ibadan, Lagos, Port Harcourt or any other Nigerian city, how much should he be making monthly before considering marriage?

ibkayee:
Standards of living will vary so you're going to have a bunch of significantly different numbers flying up and down this thread lol

Dunno what arrangement he plans to have going on with his wife concerning contributions, but realistically probably at least whatever amount can comfortably cover all basic living necessities month to month.

Ideally, rule of thumb is to also have about 6 months worth of your annual savings tucked up somewhere if possible.

Preshy561:

Lol.

I too like money
