My mother advice me never to look for a rich man who is well do whenever i'm set to get married.
she said i should marry a man that we will both start our life from the foundation, according to my mum, she said it is better to suffer with man to acquire wealth, than to go for a ready made soup.

Looking at the way things are going now, do you think a woman will now stoop so low and marry a poor man that is trying to make ends meet? Although, money is not love, but why would a parent wish her daughter to marry a poor man, i am begining to see my mum as a bad mother who does'nt wish me well.
Is it advisable i follow my mothers advice? I should stay in SURULERE instead of OLORUNSOGO.

What are you doing yourself?

NeeKlaus:

So you feel you are stooping low to marry a struggling man but you don't think a rich man is stooping low to marry you, yes?

A broke woman marrying a very wealthy man = "She's securing the bag. Yassss Queen!"
A comfortable woman marrying a struggling guy = "She's stooping soooo low. Ewww!"

The standards are double these days.

Na so her brain level reach na why the mum dey advise her on time.

Dear ,

Stop seeking for advice or advise outside what you believe in, every human have their own believe system.

If you are a Christian always seek for divine direction not seeking public advise because they would confuse and convince you with whatever they believe in.

In addition to what I said,

Your mum won't deceive you, do you know why?

She bore you !
She loved you!
She knows you very well.

Stay alone and digest what your mum told you.

Bro, why do i think you are kind of pacifying her to marry a man with potential.
Women are not doing any man a favour by sticking with them. If they like make them marry or not, men won't die and life will move on.
Only if you know that most men are also enduring them.
Hardly will you see a nigerian relationship that is balanced.
It is all about what they can gain from men.
Most of the relationship have ever been were a waste of time and resources. I don't fancy it anymore.
How will you date a woman for 3,6 months or a year without nothing to show for it.
You look back, no boxers, no wrist watch, no singlet or wears, sneakers etc NOTHING!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! and you think i will be proud of such person? Someone i can remember with anything, no hosting me on outing or pool or cinema etc
It is very very very boring.
Love should be give and take.
If you are too broke to buy things for your bf in a relationship, then am sorry you have a misplaced priority.
What you need as a woman then is a job and not a relationship.

Heeeeyyyyyy!!! Where's Pamela? Come and hear talk!
When I told some dudes this sort of (ur) claim, they misinterpreted it with vehemence and contempt. Calling me names....

But come bross, when will Nigerian ladies wake up to this reality? Do you know how they brag about their disdain to contribute finances to a relationship? O my guiness!

i am not a comfortable woman, that is why i dont feel it is right to marry a struggling man, i am not after money anyway..

So what are you after if not money?
What is it that draft a lady to a rich man other than money?
I will advice you to seek God for His will when it comes to choosing a soul mate. When it comes to marriage, neither intellectual capacity nor academic knowledge is sufficient. You need divine direction!

ur mother didn’t ask u to marry a poor man, she's only saying money should be a factor to consider when marring. That is a wise advice from a mother who wants her daughter to marry in peace.

Omo some mindsets are sickening, how is your mother's advice ill? Which way Nigerian girls? And how is living in Surulere but not OLORUNSOGO an abomination? It's very clear you don't have the prowess to effect change in a man's life both monetary and otherwise. You should apologise to your Mom for this hypocritical defamation.

i never said he wouldnt been great, i have'nt even introduce anyone to my mum as my fiance, i believe the longest journey in lyf begin with a step.

You truly don't need your mum cos you are already suspecting her.

From what you said so far, no struggling guy will see your smile let alone saying yes to marry him. Pls do what is in your mind which you have stated here already.

Simple advice: peace of mind is more important than rich man and money when it comes to marriage.

Amotolongbo:
If you are already high, you don’t need a man then.

If the men have this mentality of yours, they won’t marry ladies lower than their status.

Your mother made the right statement but you didn’t get the message. She said don’t marry a rich man, she didn’t say marry a poor man. You have run foul of false dilemma, making just only an option to counter your mum’s advice ie any man not rich is poor.

There are men with no material now cos they are currently investing their mental resources to create wealth in the future. Men with potentials, these are kinda men your mum is telling you to marry.
Adding your potential value to compliment these kind of resourceful men to create wealth will earn you a maximum eternal matrimonial respect
Best advice. Your intellects is one of a kind...

Re: Should I Follow My Mother's Advice? by GABRIEL6036: 9:17pm On Jun 07, 2021
Your mum is talking in parables, what she meant is that you should go for an average hard working dude with high capacity/motive of taking good care of you. And you should also contribute to the development of the union both physically and mentally and both of you should pray fervently for growth.

By the time your mother get to old age and u are unable to take good care of her, and she ask u, why are u not sending me money, tell her that the poor man she ask u to marry have not even being able to take care of you not to talk of you having money to send her cheesy




Your mother says that if u want to have peace of mind u should marry a struggling man, that means she is indirectly saying that All poor men gives women peace of mind, while All rich men treat women like trash? That is a wrong generalization



So, never see poor man when dey beat woman abi? There is one poor man close to my house na almost everyday he dey beat his wife, so saying all struggling men give their wife peace of mind is not true



Seeing a rich man to marry is hard, but If u see a rich man that respect you for who you are, marry him


rich guys are few, the probability of u marry a rich guy is very slim, but if u did not see a rich guy u can still marry a man that is comfortable, even if he is not rich atleast he can take good care of a family and support him to grow




Before I go, let me let you know this



The reason your mother marry your father is not because of love, but because she have no other options, if your mother was able to see a rich man to marry when she was dating your father, trust me she for dump your father for the rich man lipsrsealed

Finally, a sensible comment.

OP, you're getting most comments from broke men and bitter women who couldn't find rich or comfortable men themselves.

Not all broke men are good and not all rich men are bad.

If you find a rich or comfortable man who respects you and treats you well, go for him. But be very careful when choosing who to marry.

That doesn't mean you are still not dependent.
Can you rent a self contain? Pay utility bills like light(Nepa), dstv etc without banking on a man? Can you get a car for yourself? Build your own house so that you won't sleep under the bridge at your old age or go back to family house?

If you can't, then you are a dependant because those are the things you will be hoping to pile on a man as a pressure.

In the first instance, what attracts you to somebody shouldn't be his wealth...so that ain't love..
Marry someone you can almost perfectly relate with..

Recently, a girl was so into me, & my neighbours were already calling her my wife...she just zapped to one other wealth flashing guy...but I tell you, that girl isn't happy
