It has never been easy for anyone

Well said

@OP, if you are really serious about settling down then the advice above is the best route for you and every matured mind out there.
I implemented the same advice above 7 years ago and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever and I'm glad I did.

In addition to the sound advice above, make sure you are also marrying a lady that also has a legitimate means of livelihood so as to have shared responsibilities and serve as each other's financial backbone.

Enough amount to keep you afloat after the wedding besides you have to marry a lady who is ready to get married and stay married undecided

Your bank account balance is inconsequential to get married. Focus on your stable means of livelihood, consistent source of income and investment platforms that can sustain your family for the rest of your life.

Mr man you shouldn't be thinking of getting married to those black apes called Naija women but rather you should be thinking of how to date foreign women undecided

you see! these pieces of shiit don't have have anything to offer other than there 1000 diameter blackhole!

the disadvantages of marrying a Naija women far outweigh the advantages! undecided

How much you have shouldn't determine when to get married.

The important thing is having a steady cash flow and getting married when u think you're ready.

I have more than 10m in my account but believe me I'm still not ready or even thinking about marriage yet

Hmm...

If you really want to get married, do a quiet traditional marriage, just few people invited.

Also do a quiet church wedding. You don't need the whole world there. You don't need to organize a trending wedding. I can't even remember the food I ate or some of the things that happened at most weddings I've attended. All I know is that the couple are now married.

Don't let society and its "expectations" keep you from getting married. You only need an understanding woman.

Lol. A man with one million naira in account shouldn't budget more than 250k for wedding. The remaining should go into business or investment for either the husband or the wife. What comes after the wedding day is more important than what happens on the wedding day.

Have a baby mama instead,she will remain loyal while waiting for marriage... maybe? But if you go for them pussy people,guy life go tire you. #1M go dissolve for your eye under few months...no risk am

Is it that you guys actually think baby mama is cheap that's why you all are advocating for it or what?

If you jam an entitled Nigerian lady without a dime to her name as your baby mama, you'll spend more than you ever could if you had a wife. Go ask Davido and co.

None bro, none
Ladies get married today to secure the future of their families and themselves

Bulshits
The reasons for getting married have changed overtime

We get married mainly to secure the future of our unborn kids. It's primitive and it's nature. We suffered while growing up and we don't want that for our kids cause if our mothers had married better, it'd have been easier for us to settle for less.

Why would we marry you to give birth to kids that will now suffer like we did or possibly starve to death? We may be vain but we are not heartless. Seriously, ask yourself if you too want that for your future kids.

I won’t advise you to base the judgement on your financial capabilities alone . You should marry when you think you can no longer run from yourself .

Your savings is not as important as your continuous income. What you need most is steady means of income, not a static savings. You need a steady, sustainable income of at least NGN200,000 every month for the first 5 years of marriage if you live in Lagos, Abuja, Portharcourt....and an increase to like NGN400,000 - NGN600,000 within the next 6 - 10 years of your marriage to run a healthy, truly comfortable family.


If you are talking about wedding, you can plan wedding with NGN500,000.....in fact plan the wedding now that COVID-19 restricted number of gathering and don't center the success of your marriage around flamboyant wedding. Wedding day does not define how great a marriage would be.


I have a friend whom I was his best man some 7 years ago.....the wedding was so dull like it was a burial ceremony - all thanks to lack of money.....but today, this guy is worth over NGN200million from his legal business deals not through crime.

He married a deserving lady....a virtuous lady who helped to push him to greatness. Whoever he is today, owe tribute to his wife. His wife turned his life around. His wife provided the capital he used to catapult his business empire today....not that his wife was rich though, but she came from a well to do family and she cried to her family members to help her husband and they helped him with no-interest loans that turned his business fortune around.


Marry such lady!

To lessen the burden, make sure your wife-to-be is earning monthly income too.

Be it from her own sustainable business with growth prospect or from a well defined career path or handwork.


Never you make the mistake of marrying an unemployed, lazy, not-making-effort-to-earn lady. That is the beginning of solidifying family poverty.



Marry a lady of vision. Marry a lady who have zeal and burns for success!


Marry a lady who is working to earn a living...a lady who aspires to be like some great women, don't marry a lady who reminds you that so so and so man married and told his wife to stop working because he is rich enough to take care of his family.


Run from ladies with this dirty, foolish mentality......it is the mentality of ladies who land men into perpetual poverty with time, flee from them no matter how pretty she is!

Long story short:

Guys should become leeches.

Okay. Got it cool

The men should start advocating for the women to start footing the expenses of the white wedding if the women so wanted it, except the man wants it likewise.

I think you guys should, while you're doing this one, also advocate for women to become the head of the house instead. If expenses of the home keeps shifting to the women-folk at every turn, shouldn't the title also move to her?

Yesterday was about women taking equal responsibilities in relationships. Today is about women taking equal/more responsibilities in wedding plans and execution. Who knows what you'll suggest tomorrow?

I mean with the way you guys are going, we'll gradually get the point where you guys would want women to foot the whole wedding since apparently we're the one who "want" the wedding.

Nonsense and alpha males.

Marriage on the side of the world is another means of alleviating or ameliorate poverty...
Naija ladies don't mind being the 9th wife provided the man is loaded...

No lady wants to reason with you....all they want to do is to test your financial capability.. And that why we have a lot of single ladies who might not have hope of getting married in their lifetime.

Guys, if you have the opportunities to travel abroad, and marry a foreigner...they are better wives and in-law materials than those in Naija.

Tueh.....god forbid that I should marry a Naija lady...

I hope you know thunder will strike you dead you day you marry a Nigerian lady even in that abroad you're going to.

Na who body go tell, shey na the man? The man will gladly be saving his income for himself (as the woman usually do) why the woman keep on answering the name husband and footing every expenses that usually drain the man. I will take such challenge.
