A man has planned to run away from his wife and baby after he was seen pricing baby food and diaper and started sweating inside AC after he discovered the prices.

He called his family members right away blaming them for forcing him to marry, that now he's the one facing the heat and none of them is here to help him out.

Now check out the phone the man is using, not up to 4k. Check out his shirt and trousers.. is that the person you think can afford that kind of food? I'm not trying to degrade him. I'm just trying to say, make sure you can comfortably cater for yourself and one more person before going into marriage. This is exactly what the so many men who abandoned their family passed through before deciding to take to their heels.

Marriage is a beautiful thing. let's stop making it look scary and undesirable with our myopic approach. Do it when the time is right not for public commendation or validation cos when you start facing the heat, non of those people cheering you on will come and help you like the man rightly said.




If we all wait to have SUSTAINABLE income, none of us would be married right now.




Or perhaps, you can define sustainable income for us?





What is a sustainable income?

The man is the provider! Itโ€™s not both their duty to provide.Iโ€™m sure the man wants submission from the woman that co-provides with him.In order words,the woman becomes a submissive provider!
Dey playโ€ฆ.
Unfortunately,such world does not exist.
As long as it sounds absurd for a woman to ask a man to go through pregnancy and birth children, thatโ€™s how it sounds when a man ask a woman to provide!
A broke man should not impregnate a woman.

The good thing is, Land no cost for Abuja, Na you wan buy am for Maitama. Even sef, Land no even cost for Maitama, Na you no buy am on time.

For as low as 800k, you can become a Landlord in Abuja. Don't take my word for it, you can click this LINK to see for yourself.

Ogbeni, The Answer is Straight forward!๐Ÿ˜

When A Guy is ABLE to Foot all his Bills without Complaints or Depending on anyone,
Then he is READY for marriage.๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ™‚

Not a Guy who owes his Landlord Rent, can't buy news clothes, eats BREAD and FANTA, can't buy TV in his Apartment, etc
Now thinking of going to Pay his GF's dowry and hoping Marriage will bring blessings. undecided undecided

That's a Terrible Gamble some Young married Guys made and they are SUFFERING dearly for it! embarassed embarassed sad




This is laughable.



Even in developed countries, only a privileged few or the lucky ones in the middle can foot all their bills without complaints.




If we went by your logic, many people would not be married today.




Getting wedded is not so much about the current financial status as planning.




When my wife and I wedded, our total income was not even up to 100k. But we had made plans. I am a heavy saver. Fortunately for me, my wife is too. We planned our finances. Of course, we did get help here and there, but we both knew that it was temporary as we planned.





In the earliest months of our marriage, my father still sent stipends to me. Now, I send triple of that stipends to my dad and still send to my wife's mom. Not that I make a million naira per month, but I know how to use money, and I have a great financial partner in my wife.




Now, there are men who go into marriage fulfilling all the requirements you listed above. They were able to foot their basic bills and all that. And then, after wedding, they start struggling financially? Or you think that it is not possible?




I will tell you why some men go into marriage financially OK and then start struggling a few months or years in marriage. Lack of planning.




The fact that you could feed yourself or pay your bills before marriage does not mean you would be able to when you get married. Situations change, especially if your partner is financially wasteful. I know of a neighbor who threw lavish birthday parties for his children every year. He has four children, so four lavish birthdays every year. He is doing well currently, but around this time last year, he almost committed suicide when he suffered financial setback. I did not even know until one day when I visited my children's school to pay off their school fees balances. It was test time, and his children were all in the waiting room. I questioned them, and they said they didn't know why they were not allowed to take the tests. It was the school administrator that now told me only one of the children had some of her school fees paid for. The three others were owing full school fees.




Marriage is not so much about your current financial status. It is more about the two people going into it. Do they both have something doing that gives them income. If the man is the only one that has an income, what are the plans for growing that income? It takes two to tango. So, consider your partner's financial behaviour too. Things would not always be rosy financially. How would they make the most of small incomes? Would they stay when things are booming and start parking as soon as things start going downhill?

Does one person make up marriage?

If you think all the Hollywood paradise in your head will come to pass think twice.

Marriage is not about the man it's about two people coming together to work , work in bold letters in order to create the next smallest unit of the society to ensure societal sustainability.

If you still think marriage is about men, you may be shocked to remain in that delays mindset decades to come. What stops you from planning for marriage just as men plan? You are looking for some body's son to come sweep your feet... grin

Ogar, I shop in both local and supermarkets and I can tell you that the supermarkets are sometimes even cheaper than your local stores. Ask anyone around you who shop in supermarkets.

Ok, PM me with your location, if you stay near me, we can go to both supermarkets and local market and see.

Even pharmacies drugs are way more expensive than what you get from normal drugs shops.

I'm not talking about pharmacies. Of course those ones can't be compared in terms of quality. So the prices can't be the same.
I'm talking about normal grocery stores.

As you extol him, also remember we're in the world of inequalities. As Nigerians will say - this life no balance.

Honestly, all of us can't make it to a wife that brings something to the Union. Even those who are lucky, some are regretting it, some are blaming themselves why they didn't go for those who had nothing to offer.

Just that we should make do if in our choice we pick bones in place of flesh.

You are now coming to my side of the argument. The man will end up abandoning his family because hes not financially capable.

Men, please double your hustle
to meet up with family demands because the bulk is on you.

I dislike this statement... What stops women from doing the same? A thief's statement cos they want to benefit where they sow little to nothing cos they've pucci and feel entitled. We are in a digital world for christ sake, more women are cashing out these days. Fvckin' support the familia,too, if you believe in gender equality. And if you don't, then continue making that statement to the man till he drops dead.

A corrupt nation with less jobs and opportunity to go round for the citizens, an environment not easy to do business. You think these realistic and ugly parameters would help a lot of people make it in the present Nigeria even if they double their hustle? For your information, Africa as a continent isn't coming out of poverty any time soon.

Please do us a favor by listing these hustles many men need to double in order to come out of this current situation, like China(pulling over 700million people out of poverty) did..

SIXTEENTH:



The prices ain't the same, where I'm from there are 3 market places separately, first and second market prices of commodity defers from the 3rd market respectful.
Emerging first market are selling egusi 2 cups for 700 without grinding it for you but the 3rd market sold egusi 2cups for 500 with grinding included.

Last month a Chinese national send me to help and buy him a shaving stick using my money but will be reimbursed back once he got better (admitted for surgical appendicitis) so I got into a supermarket and pick 2 shaving stick, I now call the attention of the staff there which she confirmed the prices using their PC.

Guess the prices, one goes for 4k while the other one goes 9k like say na clipper I want buy.
Last last I returned back to a small kiosk adjacent the hospital and got one for 200

The man should even be thankful he got only a child to chartered for, unlike me whom God blesses with twins just last month, so how man will cope in this hardest mode?
So we grind harder or die trying

Congrats on ur twins. May the ground soft for us. Eno easy at all...
