Bill gate, Elon musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Carlos Slim, Warren Buffett are all married men ooo

The first two you mentioned are divorced... And their spouses have said publicly how they suffered in their marriage to those men. Elon's first wife said he told her his work would come first... He even made her sign a document regarding this.

Vinnie2000:

Honestly, I cant help but Feel that Lionel Messi's somewhat dwindling form in the past 3 years may be because he has A WIFE!

Ronaldo, Wizkid, Burnaboy, Drake, Chris BBrown and lots of Successful Superstars have refused to get Married! Even Alh. Aliko Dangote is said to be single!

Oprah Winfrey, Rihanna have not Married till now. While the dancer Kaffy abandoned marriage because she felt it is an hindrance to her career!

SO, IS MARRIAGE A DISTRACTION IN A PERSON'S PURSUIT OF SUCCESS?

Lets not forget that Married Peeps like Beyonce, Jay z, Mercy Johnson, Yul Edochie, etc are doing well!

Love is the distraction
While marriage is evil

SeaTrade:
My brother told me this like q0 years ago and I'm beginning to think it's true.
As a man,if you have goals to achieve ,especially big ones, it is good to stay away from women.
Comes with all sorts of distractions and drawbacks.

Gbam. If you want to live a normal 9-5 life, or your goals are not so big, then marriage is good. But when you're thinking of big goals that have never been achieved by any man before, just stay single for the sake of your goals and the woman too... Cos you will either abandon your goal, or the wife will suffer at the expense of achieving the goal.

One of the most fundamental erros in logic, is the causal fallacy. That something happened after another thing does not mean that it happened becasue of it.

The evidence we have is simply that Dr. Dre was always ambitious and was always successful even if not wildly so. That he had a low point in his life does not mean that he would not have recovered.

Now, yes, we do not know if the wife really played a role in his rise.

But on the evidence that the woman herself has not achieved anything notable before, during or after her marriage to Dr. Dre, it seems rather unlikely that she could then be cited as the driver of his growth.

And of course, we know that she is the reason why he will lose his billionaire status.

The conclusion: we cannot say that she was responsible for his growth. We can say that given her own lack of achievement it seems unlikely.

We can also state that she is directly the cause of his greatest-known misfortune.

Given the improbability of her being the reason for his success and the fact that she is the known cause of his misfortune if you were Dr. Dre and you were taken back to 1996, would you get married to this woman again?

You must have really dug into your trove of meaningless drivel to come up with this.


And this is the typical empty male ego. Has it occurred to you that the wife made sacrifices on her part?

Are you married? Do you have children? If your child is sick and one of you has to stay at home, do you understand a sacrifice is being made?

People like you will cuss out the wife as irresponsible if she also decided to go all out for her career, everyone else be damned.

Going by your inane logic, the father of the Williams sisters or the parents and spouses of any mega successful people did not contribute because none of them have their own success as you call it.

Today, Dr dre has two children who appear to be responsible, who are not tearing up social media, and who are certainly not embarrassing him in public. While he was in the studio, or in the boardroom, or wherever, his wife was making sure the kids were alright. You think you can put in work if your home is in a shambles?

Of course if the kids were stoners or porn stars or affluenza types and the wife was a business success in her own right, you would be dropping the logic of the irresponsible parent.

Fxwarrior:


It depends on the person but there are certain decisions you can take as a single that you can't take as a married person. You have to consider your family.

Besides it also depends on the type of wife you married. If she's a drama queen, your name is "sorry".

The bolded is the koko

Acidosis:
Marriage can obviously distract you from achieving your life goals.

But don't be f00led. The biggest distraction is when you sleep with different women and still come to Nairaland to claim "single".

Do you honestly think that a MARRIED Banky W or Adekunle Gold is as distracted as a single WIZKID or DAVIDO with different baby mamas and kids here and there?

Do not let the success of a privileged Davido deceive you. Many of his "single" kind with different baby mamas are in Agege motor park, looking for the next driver to extort.

Dayuuum!

A parasite? Do you know how long they were married?

1996 to 2021

Do you realize the woman was with him and supported him in the dark days when he left deathrow and aftermath was struggling?

The woman was with him all the way from rapper to beats billionaire

How can you call the woman a parasite when Dr dre reached his billionaire status while married to her? How did she hold him back pls?

True... That lady deserves every penny she is getting right now, cos she stood by him through all the physical abuse, the cheating, the dark days and all.

Outside of elon musk, the richest men in the world have been married

Bill Gates
Warren buffet
Jeff bezos who had the most amiable indifferent divorce you can imagine

are u just knowing that marraige is a distraction to good hustling in making success, i just told my wife that i want to be doing uber with my toyota camry instead of depending only on salary but she strongly oppose it saying that upon the school i went to i want to be doing driving work i was shock!

Lol. This made me laugh. That's the thing about marriage... If you were single, you would have been able to start Uber business without affecting anyone.

You're being silly and irrational.

I asked you what her contribution was. You said none of us know. Now you want to turn around and say that her contribution was raising the kids.

If you had said that earlier, my response would have been different. You clearly are just making it up as you go.

And doubly silly for you to hide your lack of points behind the allegation of misogyny. SMH.

GloriousGbola:


Dr dre founded aftermath in 1996 after he left deathrow with nothing

Aftermath struggled for years to make actual hits
The aftermath album didn't make money
The firm album didn't make money

Dre did not get back on his feet until the slim shady lp in 1999

Dres real hammering was when apple bought over beats for 3billion in 2014

So get with the program. His wife was with him during the darkest time in his career, and she was there when he rose to being an actual billionaire. Maybe you should find the memes of dre 1993 vs dre 2015

Of course maybe you think that 'success' of 1993 can compare to where dre is now.

Deathrow is bankrupt and was bought for pennies by snoop, snoop himself is more of a social media celebrity than an actual rich dude, the founder of deathrow is still in jail - whatever the success of that time was tied to is effectively dead.

Where are all the other names from death row? Daz? Kurupt? Jay Flexxx? Suge?

You know your hip hop history, I salute.

Marriage should be a career enabler if you marry the right spouse who has your interest at heart. Someone with a peaceful home devoid of issue tends to have a flourishing career because this gives them the opportunity to have a clear and peaceful mind while they chase their goals knowing well they’re loved at home .

joetem:


very low percent. No long story, marriage slows u down no matter how u see it. Even dbanj wey be legend the moment he married (a good woman at that) every thing mellow down, same for kizz daniel and Banky W

Gbam. I love that you mentioned real examples.

galantjoe:
Yes. Marriage is a big distraction to succeed professionally especially when you marry bad wife and incompatible one.

It is better you reach apex of your career before getting married. Then you relax, leisure with your wife, children while enjoying dividend from your investment. You can tour the world with them

That's why I asked if you are a parent.

Because only an empty headed boy of the redpiller genre would subscribe to the notion that successful married man with well brought up children has a wife that can be disregarded as a parasite.

You completely fail to understand that on several marriages, at a point one person may put a lot on hold so the other can go for it.

This may be why their divorce was so acrimonious in the first place.

Anyways let is agree to disagree.

Looking for how to have a successful relationship, look no further.

Ironically you have just proved the OP. If children are such a burden, then indeed, marriage with its bequeathment of children is a burden to a man. And if a man's wife's major contribution to his life is to take care of said burden, then a wise man simply preempts the burden by not getting married.

If you marry the wrong person or in a relationship with the wrong person, it drains you physically, emotionally and psychologically. When you marry a person you're compatible with or in a relationship, you'll soar high.

What does success mean to you.

Marriages are not the same. Marrying the right wife is the key. That's when doors opportunities and breakthrough will begin to open for you. But marrying the wrong partner is a damaging invitation to the devil himself into your life. It's way worse than maintaining your singleness all your life. Unfortunately, more people fall in the latter situation than the former, reason most marriages today are more of disaster than blessing. So don't marry her if you are sure she's not right one for you; a marriage is as good as the wife.

Gentlerespect76:
Getting married to someone you love, is part of success.

And if she doesn't love you in return, it's the beginning of downfall/failure

Exactly the same thing my wife said when i wanted to go into transport business with my sienna as a side hustle. I had to give it out on hire purchase, the man I gave the vehicle has bought another car for his wife now barely 16months later, with my sienna... that's after deligently paying for the vehicle o.
Women think we re still in the olden days when White collar jobs are more respected than dirty jobs, it's dirty jobs that money is now. But they believe as long as you have a BSc (A degree that's now like waec and neco of those days) the world is at your feet. Woman expect too much from thier man, worst if you are a 'graduate'. They want to make sure your hustle is something they can brag to their friends, when in reality the money making is all that truely matters!

It depends, if your partner is supportive of your dreams then its good, but if he or she is not supportive then it will definitely be a hindrance to your dreams.

Nadeol:


Are you serious?

So Tonto Dike and Churchill's marriage "itself is success"?

NB: This is not to spite them though, just giving an example.

That was social enhancement marriage.

Marriage is a beautiful thing, that's all I can say.

Obi Cubana is married
E MOney is married
Soludo is married
Kcee is married
2face is married
Dbanj is married
Otedola is married
Tinubu is married
Buhari is married
Aregbesola is married
Amaechi is married
Goodluck Jonathan is married
Wike is married
Peter Obi is married



Get sense

Yes it is. Stupid question.

Liverpoolfc:
Marriage itself is success. Success can't distract success.

So Married people living in Penury and Abject Poverty can still call marriage a Success?

46arcadez:

Depending on what you called success

I Simply Professional and Financial success!

Ronaldo is recognized for his achievements in Man u, Juve and R.Madrid!

Drake is Recognized for being a consistent, successful US Rapper since 2009!

Marriage cant be a 'Success' for such Persons!
