During that 2016 you know a bag of cement was around 1900 - 2400 naira so how many bag do you think I will be able to get then 20bags abi that means I will not remove anything from my salary but today 300k as salary will give you 30 bags of cement

SpencerForbes:
It's clear you’re totally out of viable points, but I’ll still engage this final time. Normally, a focused man should have handled this self-development within the first two years of his employment. The only reason I purposely avoided adding this argument earlier was to work strictly within the initial context provided.

Let me give you my own example: I comprehensively learned graphic designing in six months for even less than[b] ₦100k[/b]. Now, consider this: a man dedicated to his goals should easily be able to save more than ₦500k within two years of consistent employment. Given that reality, why are you arguing that he wouldn't be able to learn any valuable skill with that kind of capital before or during his family life?

what I am saying is it is not understandable that a man chooses to upskill and develop himself and it is not paying off significantly, no significant change in income, he then decides to go marry?

now, I see that you are talking from YOUR perspective too which is alright by me

it is good that you have learnt graphics design, will you be willing to say how much percentage of your main salary that your graphics design brings it?

also, that you are able to make things work doesn't mean your category of individuals is the common occurence, there are much more people who took similar steps which didn't pay off or haven't paid off

so I still stand by the opinion that all these should be done before marriage

and any man or married man with 500k salary without contingency plans deserves what comes for him the day he finds himself being laid off

SpencerForbes:
Family life is a continuous process, not an end product. You and your partner must constantly be building yourselves to the point where your children will genuinely be proud of your legacy. True security is found in self-development, not just employment.

Regardless of the job one finds, every man should always equip himself with at least three skills and actively plan for self-employment. While I didn't introduce the skill-building concept earlier, the reality remains: any man earning above ₦100k who fails to develop himself is simply not serious and is unfit for marriage.

Once you start a job, the first two months are for settling down, but by the third month, you should be enrolling for part-time studies, pursuing a second degree to boost your CV, or starting a profitable side hustle. Any man earning above ₦100k—even if his salary is ₦1 million—who doesn't prioritize continuous self-development is fundamentally unfit to be a husband.

SpencerForbes:
If you’ve followed this entire thread, my recurring theme has always been strategic planning and wisdom. When the mind is focused on building a serious future, should a Keke Napep even be the immediate priority?

That said, even low assets can be gotten with strategy. You can learn software development for ₦200k (two months’ salary), or if you prefer fixed assets, you can easily start a Keke Napep or Uber car hire purchase plan. A lot of people earning far lower incomes have successfully acquired these assets by paying in bits while driving. You truly have no grounds for your argument. When strategic planning is involved, everything will fall into place.


I am not trying to put words in your mouth; I am simply showing you the bigger picture of your own points and the overall effect of following your pattern of thought.

all those self development and investments and improvements that you advice after marriage, why can't they be made before marriage?

if they work fine, a better life
if they don't, you drink garri alone

the overall effect of my pattern of thought? a proper DJ

people should suffer alone for their decisions, let those who want to help, help

not making people suffer through fatherhood when they could have had way better options in life

even the Lord Jesus who was born in a manger, his father could afford a trip to egypt and back

SpencerForbes:
I’m sure the man isn't sitting idle, he's planning for his future! The ₦50k stipend is purely a starting point and a base. He can learn a digital skill or run a side hustle that will boost his income over time. I gave the scenario of the POS business, but you were so fixated on the low money that you missed the leverage point. Are you suggesting that by running a hustle alongside the ₦50k, the man still won't have enough income to afford protein?

The plain truth is that too many Nigerians are fixated on the starting figure and complacent about growth. What stops a man earning ₦100k from learning or doing something else? We prefer to blame the government, but financial growth is personal. Use your other funds to save up and launch something scalable—like a small betting shop—and you could easily be pulling in over ₦500k income within a year to buy all the proteins you want.

That is the definition of strategic planning.

SpencerForbes:
Are you seriously insinuating that a couple earning a combined ₦200k are 'poor'? You completely sidestepped my questions, but let’s clarify the economics. We are discussing the middle class here, while you seem fixated on the lower class. For the record, the 'poor' or lower class are those earning below the minimum wage; anyone consistently earning above that, falls into the middle-income or higher class bracket.

If we were to strictly follow your statistics, look around your immediate environment:

how many 40-year-olds are legally earning a personal income above ₦150k? Are you suggesting that procreation should be the exclusive reserve of the wealthy?

By your logic, the millions of people in rural areas earning less than ₦50k—who definitely don’t have ₦5 million in savings—should just go extinct (so we can have more landed property for the rich).

The bottom line remains: a family generating over ₦200k can absolutely raise a child comfortably. The danger lies not in the income itself, but in having more mouths than your specific capacity can feed.

SpencerForbes:
If wealth alone guaranteed success, our society wouldn't be dealing with so many rich brats today. The evidence is overwhelming: the majority of our most successful leaders and innovators did not experience luxury at the early stages of their lives. If wealth was the key, figures like Elon Musk wouldn’t be having widely publicized issues with his own children.

The truth is simple: an average family life coupled with proper training and solid values will always yield better results than a life of spoiled luxury and parental neglect. The latter can leads to individual failure and societal decay.

How much is minimum wage and who told you a family earning 200k is poor??

Kobojunkie:
1. Women bring emotional, mental and physical labor— invisible labor that they are never really ever fully compensated for— to their relationships, and so, yes, when a rich man marries himself a woman, he knows he betters his life by doing so, even when she brings no kobo to the marriage.

2. Many feminists are married, so that one way you dey talk no even mean anything at all. I am against women continuing to give their labor away for free to men who don't value, benefit them, and their dreams, in relationships, whether she is a feminist or not. We all saw how our grandmothers and mothers carried struggle-love for head, only to end up with none of their dreams realized, financially abused, in many cases, also physically abused, and most of them abandoned in marriage at the end of the day. The one's among them who turned breadwinners worked themselves to the bone, propping up a man who literally did not value them. Many were hated by the very man they regarded as their husband— all to maintain the Mrs. badge. No sane human being would want to support seeing the same continue on to even our children and grandchildren out there.

This ain't about any bullsheet authority but about women getting compensated for their efforts in marriage, which is meant to work out also in their good, not just for the man.

stop generalizing and just simply state what your grandfathers did to your grandmothers and maybe, MAYBE, what your children's grandfathers would do to their grandmothers

harjay1986:
Just leave these people bro, I got married in 2016 when my salary is just 45k, today I thank God because I earn more than times 10 of such, they want everything to be set before they will say yes..

SpencerForbes:
Does having millions in your account guarantee you’ll raise good kids and be a good husband?

Salarys:
Covid lockdown caused the extra months.

The current final year would be leaving a exactly 6 years and subsequent sets from the current 5L won't even spend up to 6 years.

Salarys:
And after 6.5 years, I officially got inducted into the profession 2 days ago.

Yes. God can be trusted and your dreams are valid.

6.5 years? I thought they said delsu was fast?

congrats though...more wins

3.5m Jack to enjoy the QUAD DAC audio feature
You still get a SD card slot to expand storage.
And many more.
Minus: Stuck on Android 13

as in eh, I downgraded mine to A10, I still check jiji often to see when another non-refurbished V60 will be on sale, the phone na beast...I have not seen a better daily driver, camera, audio quality, durability for the same price range

and I still think A10 was the last best all rounder android version

if person no really care about android version and the person is not getting a pixel or samsung s series, I believe V60 is a better phone

the balance between battery life and performance is unmatched...

if I don't see the V60, I dey eye poco f1, mi max 3, redmi note 5 pro...I be ancestor

or one plus fold

Kaveco:
You can get RW on system by flashing a TWRP module called MountRW. Also, I use G8, not V60.

Plan on moving to Xiaomi 13 or Zenfone 9/10 (means leaving rooting behind)

Kaveco:
I have not been able to completely degoogle my phone because I still run back to YouTube, Gboard and still need the play store. How do you cope?

I'm on Lineage21. G8

Also, have you enabled Dual sim on your V60?

Check ebay e fit dey there

Since you got it used, the battery is obviously no longer at full capacity, hence the faster charging but even a LG V60 battery at 80% health will have a better SoT on average than most phones' battery running at 95-100% nowadays. You made mention at an earlier post that your V60 is rooted, so it could also be a factor, as a rooted phone unlocks and gives you complete access to your phone CPU & GPU. The SoC, SD865 is one of the most power and performance efficient SoC ever made till date, so by rooting your phone you had exponentially enhanced its performance.

You've a machine on your hands. Enjoy.

true...that's why I made some long posts for explanation, I might have gotten my device in a good condition but I have done a lot of tweaking

I have S9 which I mostly use to take notes when watching videos on V60 and as a hotspot device when using hourly plans

Now, I have disabled most apps, even play services and play store, using shizuku+hail combo butthe S9 still gets hot without any usage causing the battery to die quickly without even me using the phone at all

although, AOD is always on, and the place that generates heat the most is the home button on AOD

IbrahimMav:
How long have you used your phone 'cause a LG V60 battery close to full factory capacity takes 2hrs+ or more to fully charge on a fast charger using Type A to type c USB.

A slightly degraded battery will naturally take less time to fully recharge.

To prolong your battery health, I'd advice you to avoid charging from 0-100, always endeavour to stop at 85-95.

Also, don't allow your battery to discharge below 15. Endeavour to switch off your phone at 20% if you are unable to charge it at that point in time.

Last but not the least, don't use your phone while it's charging.

IbrahimMav:
Many phone brands support Nigeria 5G but the popular brands are...
Samsung 5G enabled phones launched from 2020 till date (S, A, & Z series), Xiaomi 5G enabled phones, Oneplus from series 8 to current, Tecno 5G enabled phones, Iphone from iphone 12 to current.

IbrahimMav:
USBC To TypeC will take appr 2hrs to fully charge, while USBA to TypeC will take appr 3hrs to fully charge.

My LG v60 doesn't take 3hrs to charge to full on USB-A to USB-C cable, it is up to 30 to 45mins less...I haven't done an actual measurement though

But one thing to note is that I have a rooted, SYS-RW V60 and I have switched most apps to foss/open source alternatives for those that have foss alternatives...

I think the only stock apps I left untouched were anything pertaining to Audio majorly, then video...so even when I play games like FIFA14, NFSMW and other apps running in background, the phone only gets lightly warm and it is like that most of the time...I never try CODM, PUBG and other online games to know if the V60 will get hot...

The phone can handle whatever you throw at it...why I got it was because of:
1a. I could use it excellently on A10...I no get time for the scoped storage rubbish on A11+
1b. It is rootable abeg...even if e no get custom rom support which is understandable since it is an audio/video phone

2. The audio capabilities but some review say V20, V30/V35and sometimes V40 have better sound stage than V60 since V60 was not tuned by BO or Meridian, they say it was LG in house that handled V60 sounding. An advantage of the V60 is that it can give good sound by dynamically adjusting, enabling/disabling features but for older V series...more manual input is needed

3. It can handle creative work well and getting second screen is a plus and might be considered an advantage to fold phones durability/longetivity wise...replacing a fold screen if anything happens no be beans and I no sure if them get screen protector



and as for the failing charging port on V60, it is a concern when looking at reviews but my own no dey gimme issue and e never fail once and no be say I dey dey careful with am, so e fit be model/region dependent

I get S9 from jand direct and the cable follow am come but sometimes, I go plug am, everything dey fine, remove cable con plug am back, warning go pop up say 'foreign object' dey the port ...so maybe na to just pray say the market person buy go serve am well...
