This OP is not wise at all.
Africa needs to grow beyond this mindset. Having a wife and kids is not an achievement but a fulfillment which by the way, different people have their own definition of fulfillment.

If you are a man in your 30s living in a difficult country like Nigeria, i advise you chase the bread to better your life & your future. If you stumble on a good woman while at it, you can marry her but if you allow societal pressure to make you marry one of these damaged, unproductive, & useless slay queens who are liabilities as a wife, sorry na your name.

You can still get married in your late 30s or early 40s and live a fulfilled life & by the time you are in your 60s, your kids would be in their eaely 20s keeping you company, running erands for you and making you happy while you relax and groom them to takeover your business/empire aince you utilized your youthful era to make some good investments.

Unlike those niggas who got married in their 20s using all their energy as youths just to fend, suffer and provide for the family. By the time they hit 60, no major investments, their kids have all abandoned them to begin their own lives/families making them feel lonely and abandoned. Only few lucky ones get regular visits, care and gifts from their kids at this point.

Too much Sense in this Part!👍

All the Money that could have Saved and Invested is put inside Family Responsibility. undecided

You won't be able to own any Business or property throughout your 30's because you have Wife and kids at home. embarassed sad

When you get to your 40's, you are too Already weak to Hustle and you start waiting for ur 17yr old daughter to Marry RichMan. 😒😌

As a Guy from a Poor Family, If you Marry in your 20's, It's like signing LIFETIME CONTRACT WITH POVERTY.😟

You are smart, you just reminded of when i was about to marry a prostitute unknowingly.

She was a decent lady. Luckily for me i got to meet a guy, on a social platform who knew her.

Immediately i knew who she really was, i ended the relationship. Most women out there lived a wreckless sexual life. And i can't settle for a LovePeddler, after putting in this hardwork

You're very wrong but you just didn't realize it. The first rule of life is that; life doesn't come with a PAST QUESTION, MANUAL or INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. Na trial & error everybody dey do.

My dad had my older brother at 19, he wasn't from a rich family either. He suffered and laboured through his youthful age to raise us all. Today nko? He's in his late FIFTIES and most of us have become relatively successful in his lifetime. He's still active, looks young and healthy. When he came to visit me early this year, most people didn't believe he's my dad. cheesy cheesy

My step-mum (his younger wife) is still servicing him. He still has other younger children who run and jump around the house. He has grandchildren who always come to spend the holidays with him (my children are there as I type). His older children (myself & siblings) always ensure he never lacks anything. Most importantly, he's living his DREAM. He's always happy and grateful for marrying early.

My point- both early and late marriages have their advantages and disadvantages. Anyone that works for you, practice it. Life is a foreign language afterall, everyone mispronounces it. cheesy cheesy

Sorry, but apart from the bold, none of those skills qualify you to be issued a work visa as a Nigerian while in Nigeria. Your best route is a study visa. But 10 million cannot run it unlike few years ago.

Had to put this here:

Men who married in their forties and early fifties:

Poju Oyemade
Oscar Onyema
Olumide Akpata
Tayo Oviosu
Victor Asemota
Olumide Aderinokun (married Stephanie Coker five years after his first wife died of cancer)
Dr Ola Brown's Husband (popular TwitterNG personality)




The issue isn't really early or late, but not having plenty of children more than one can adequately cater for. Nigerians have this mentality of producing more children just because small change enters their hands. Just because one's finances have increased after two children does not mean the person should aim for another child or children. Raising children is terribly expensive and largely a thankless job.

Also, men should opt for vasectomy if need be as female contraceptives can fail atimes. When I mention this aspect, many get upset.

One thing is fact.
A man in his 50 that doesn't have kids would feel something is missing (even though it is hype).

Many of them are feeling bad but the cost of marrying a woman now is very high

I know people that married while poor but there are something in life they would NEVER experience (if they must be responsible provider). Put in a few more decades of this denial and their soul is broken.

It is a very stupid question. People are thinking of financial security in old age, this one is talking about raising children in old age.

you should rather say that the cost of buying a woman is very high. Marriage ended many years ago. What people are doing now is buying and selling of their daughters where men are unfortunately the buyers.

When I read the Old testament law, had a feeling that marriage is slavery. I give you my virgin daughter to give your son with WHITE CLOTHES. He bleeps her on the spot, she bleeds on the white clothes, I collect the white clothes as evidence that I sold a virgin to you.

IF YOUR STUPID SON DOESN'T WANT HER AGAIN, I WILL NOT AGREE BECAUSE HER MARKET VALUE HAS REDUCE AND I CAN'T RE-SELL HER FOR VIRGIN PRICE.

They didn't want female child because she can not go to farm/hunting or help them in wars. Just another mouth to feed.

You can express that in a more acceptable and pleasant way and call it marriage. The union between 2,3 or more people.

When you marry a lady, you also marry her family. If she doesn't have a reasonable trade she's into in this economy o, una go suffer o.

As I said, I was referring to my perception of Moses Law on marriage.

Of cause, it has evolved since then.
