ABOVE ALL MARRIGE IS SWEETEST WITH HUSBAND WIFE AND CHILDREN. THIS IS THE REALITY OF LIFE

If you can't afford a Dubai,Paris,Miami, Niagara kind of honeymoon...My friend, go and hustle ohh.... Advice no be curse.

Depending on who you are marrying... State civil servants, teachers , bike men all earn bellow 100k and have wife


.

Go and check how they suffer down to their health...Kids in refurbished school...During maternity, the wife suffers and still stresses to make ends meet even at the point of delivery due to poor financial support.

Some lose their lives due to anemia or complications in low key hospitals. Alot of those women dies when issues of emergency CS of 600k plus or minus that's being charged in a teaching hospital and 800k in good privates due to cost of fuel and running cost of hospitals...

In other to have a natural cheap delivery, wombs are being ruptured at home or maternity homes by quack auxiliary nurses who at some point don't know their limits..

In summary, an average Nigerian shouldn't rush to marry if you are not financially capable or comfortable a bit...

The economy is not smiling on anyone.

Lets not glorify nonsense pls.

Taking responsibility as a man na less, but if u bring anyhow plan my man we go divide the expenses, beside 3m and 2m are not equal, and my answer is for that banny

Akwamkpuruamu:


You are not serious Sir! Marriage is no jokes and not a bill splitting stuff. You got to foot the bills as a amn and not on an equal shared basis. That's where your authority and control stems from and Rooted in

Reading....

I earn at least 500k monthly and live in my own house but marriage is not yet in my mind.. I will be 32 by April... So any sensible man should atleast earns 300k before marriage but if you have good business that earn u at least 20k daily you can marry

Ahmed0336:

You're right. But you forgot to include location.

Most importantly is the type of woman you're marrying and your location.
A person on 30k per month in kebbi can manage, but same can't be said about a new couple in Owerri or PH.

right now no where in Nigeria can 30k be enough for u

Least I can mention is 100k

VeryWickedMan:
300k if your wife is responsible.
1 billion if your wife is jobless.

I'm even afraid to start a relationship. Not to talk of marriage

How can any family man survive on N50k or N100k monthly salary in this current Nigeria.
Before now I give madam N100k monthly for feeding a family of 3 and she complains its hardly enough.

Whatever amount you mention, you must add location in Nigeria with it for it to make any sense.

Mentioning a general amount to apply to everywhere in Nigeria just doesn't make any sense.
Nigeria is different from "Nigeria" abeg.

Hello people here's a quick question

Considering the importance of finance in marriage, what should a man be making monthly before considering marriage in Nigeria, someone said 50k but based on the economic reality in the country, 50,000 is too small to sustain a home.

I believe a minimum of 100k per month is a enough to take care of a matrimonial home with just one child and this also depends on your location.

I might be wrong or right, so over to you what's your opinion on this topic!

I doubt if even 50k will be enough to live comfortably in a village. 100k won't even be enough to live a reasonable life in cosmopolitan areas as a bachelor sef.

Magnoliaa:
#5,000,000.

How much are you earning??

100k wey i dey collect wey nor reach anything. Just dey play o

2 full tank in a week is 100k. In a month 400k. Just on one vehicle. Go figure out.
Nigerians are just living on cruise now. Salary or fixed income does not survive anyone. It is by miracle folks are existing.

Depending on the standard you have placed yourself

b3llo:
If you have a wife who is healthy and live in your house, 50k is enough with enough of prudence being applied. Another factor to consider is the proximity of your working or business place.

una funny oooo. With 50k you can marry, even with 20k you can marry but na suffer marriage. Do u guys consider fuel subsidies and how it has affected everything?

N5mil

Thank you dear, 'cause I'm thinking if we are all in the same country with the comments i'm reading here.

I just guess most of those making comments are yet to be independent. 'Cause taking care of your own responsibilities alone these days go shock you

nkemjacob2:
right now no where in Nigeria can 30k be enough for u

Bakrabas:


You're very correct

I'm an accounting officer and proudly cabs owner .

I've friends that travelled out recently, they're also cabs owners and driver.

Some bankers can't withstand these guys

You are so right my bro, I too am a keke hustler,with the proceed of my keke, I have processed my Study visa to Canada, and am leaving by August.

Rich4god:
You should earn at least 180k and above so that you can leave a comfortable life without much stress.

And in this 180k, try and manage so that you can only spend 80k and save 100k.

With that savings, you can be having around 1M yearly which will help you to purchase properties and make investment.

Else, you will just be living your life daily without any meaningful progress.

I don't think you earn and spend. The rate at which inflation make things costly. 180k is nothing.

if a single man earning 180k can save 50k from the money we should clap for him. That means he is likely living a miserable life. No clothes, shoes or living in a good accommodation.

Ashawoman82:
150k, that's if the wife to be also has a job that pays say 70_100k..

What if the wife earns 200k.

This generation of women don't worth the stress of marriage.... As a man make your money and enjoy your life

Nigeria economy isn't stable. You cannot put a minimum on it

Shey na for village where you will no pay house rent, utilities una go live abi na where?

She recently got elevated in her firm, ever since the way she spends buying all sort of drinks, beverages, Cloths, perfumes and all...I suspect she might even be earning more than me...atleast I'm glad she no longer ask me for money besides the monthly upkeep.

You are senseless and conscienceless for comparing yourself with other people. I am sure I earn x 5 of your salary Buh I can’t be bragging about that. 10 will do of you don’t have at all. I have beg for food and I knw what it is. If you are a man , don’t marry for love , marry a woman that will bring something to the table

Mightysomadina88:
how much do you earn?

Or better still, ask her how much her papa dey earn

It depends where you base. someone in Akure may need 100k while another person in Lagos may need 200k.
cost of living and lifestyle matter.

Both should be earning up to 150k to 200k minimum, it also depends on the woman and your environment.

Cut your coat according to your available material.

Aside Lagos, Abuja and few part of Niger delta region where things are extremely expensive, you can do well in marriage with 180k in Nigeria of today [ at least you can start a family], provided your wife also work and earn something reasonable
