Are men supposed to start crying because some ladies with body count of over a hundred are not gonna marry them or what? Amazing how y'all overestimate yourselves. The most valuable things women can give their men is their beauty and youth. Y'all aren't even bringing those to the table anymore.

"Just don’t come and be forming love, knowing I would disgust you if I were broke" succinctly worded @Belafonte - unfortunately that's the hallmark of perfidious (expedient) people. 

Meanwhile, every sane person knows the importance of money and doesn't need crass and expedient elements to remind them of it - if as a person you need someone to remind you of the importance of success, you simply lack grit and common sense. Sane people don't allow money to define them, even when they've it in abundance. Of course, it's only a foolish and spineless man who'll allow a crass and expedient woman to share his crown with him. 

To every ethically sound (good) woman here or out there, don't allow any small-minded person to guilt trip you to immorality, because sane wealthy men marry ethically sound women every other day. As a matter of fact, true well-to-do people never base their respect, and goodness in general, for others on money/material things. Money remains a means to an end, but never an end itself, and it remains one of the easiest things to acquire, all things being equal. Those who do not have it today, remain steadfast and be content without being complacent, and don't allow anyone to abuse you.

If as an ethically sound woman here someone bullies you because of money they barely have directly or indirectly, if you can't defend yourself, direct the person and their backer(s) to me let me show them that the true haves don't shout unnecessarily like the have-nots and quasi-haves.

Success consciousness is the goal, say no to both materialism and parasitism - principle/spiritualism over expediency any day and anywhere. Of course, perfection is still of the creator of the world.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again, only a prostitute will base her decision for a marriage partner on finances, eschewing all other qualities and aspects of life.

Wealthy men have married, and then lost their wealth through unforeseen circumstances. Many of their marriages have crumbled exactly because of loss of wealth and the attendant broken spirit it can engender.

Is Dande telling me that I shouldn’t expect my wife to comfort me or help bring me out of poverty? Her husband, and possible father of her children? grin

When I see men jump through hoops to satisfy women who aren’t worth it, it cements my resolve to not be played. Any woman who tries it with me, will have wonderful stories to tell. It will end in tears

The answer to your first question lies in your second paragraph. Whatever makes her worth 50m to you is the value she’s bringing to the table.

Remember, this proverbial table is the base where everything including but not limited to money is placed.
If I’m bringing 50m to the table, what is she’s bringing in concrete terms? Wetin be that ‘worth’?

Thread is gradually going to the traditional roles of a man and a woman.

Like Belafonte said, the woman you are bringing N50m to meet has to be worth it and not in monetary terms.

It is in those qualities women think is slavery or 'promoting' patriarchy today.

@Belafonte what qualities are you looking for in a wife that would worth N50m?
1. A woman who will shut up when I ask her to, or one who knows how to talk and keep quiet when she should. You might consider that misogynistic, but it is what it is.

2. A faithful woman. If I catch her cheating it will end very badly physically and mentally for her.

3. A good homemaker.

4. An intellectually sound woman.

5. A spiritual woman who can battle for me in the spirit and boosts my own spirit rather than dampen it.

6. A woman who will be devoted to me.

7. In lieu of points 1-6, a woman who truly loves me and understands me and daily desires to please me. Having this quality will make the above points a breeze. And in fact, I’ll be more amenable to allowing her shortcomings, especially if she is a teachable spirit.

This is the best comment I have read on this thread.

I deliberately decided not to emphasize the income the wife brings to the table because the worth of a lady one wants to marry should be supremely above money. I like the way you said that she has to be worth that 50m.

I personally cannot marry or bring children into this world if I am not supremely capable to give them a good life. Not just life, a good one. As much as everyone is complaining about life being difficult in Nigeria, some people and their children will never understand what that means, simply because the parents have enough and more than enough. What money is required to live a good life, the man should provide, which is the easier part of the job. The harder aspect is the role of the wife and mother who is literally the superintendent of the home whether or not she has an income.

Brilliant contribution from you sir!
Funny enough, even if I were a billionaire I’m not sure I’d leave that much of an inheritance to my children. From a young age, I’ll each them how to traverse the world and live good lives.

Unearned money is a corrupter of the soul. The best thing you can do for your children is to make them able to stand on their own, maybeif im leaving something, it has to be that they can build on what I’ve accomplished.

Nobody mentions this, but most wealth dries up by the 3rd/4th generation. Look around you and see people living lavish because that’s all they’re accustomed to without maintaining the source. Grandchildren selling of their inherited homes just to get by. I know two families like that intimately, one by blood and one by romantic affiliation.

My cousins live in abject poverty, begging me for stipends when their father inherited billions in assets, investments and properties by today’s standards. Just the third generation and they are poorer than I am today. My ex’s family live on house rent paid by tenants.

Wealth building is a critical skill any human should have. And that, alongside true spirituality are the core legacies I’ll leave my children with.

Funny I missed the role mothers play in the life of their children. In my naive days, i used to be of the school of thought your wife gets priority over mum for “cleaving reasons”. Now, I’m more of a value- based decision maker. Everybody is treated the way they deserve.

If I call my mum and cry to her that I’m having problems and she can soothe my pain, do you think it’s fair to bench her for a woman who feels ‘comforting me because I don’t have money’ is not part of her job description? Who loose her chain?

I am seriously, seriously considering not getting married, and just having children out of wedlock. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a woman who truly wants a traditional arrangement. The Jezebels and Delilahs out there right now are nothing but destiny killers who have no problem milking you dry and moving on to the next moneyed man. Even married women are collecting the D outside just to maintain lifestyles they became used to in their single days. So, what’s the koko sef?

After sex, and taking care of the children what do today’s women want to be useful to their husbands for? Spending money he spent years of toil, blood of sweat to acquire. Personally, I don’t fee that’s quite balanced.

I don’t feel entitled to a woman’s love, I don’t think she should be entitled to my wealth. Every man for himself.

So, you will marry cos you want a woman that's gonna uplift you from poverty state or that will be there to comfort you when you don't have the money? You see why you men are very selfish yet, you always get to turn the table around and some gullible women will believe so.
May I ask what is wrong in my wife comforting me when I don’t have money? Is she only supposed to enjoy the comforts my money will provide, but have no sympathy for me when my efforts to make money don’t quite pan out as I hoped?

I think that’s selfish from the woman’s point of view, if you ask me. But I’m not able be correction. Perhaps, you could enlighten me on why my sympathy to my failings isn’t a role my wife should play. Thanks

Whatever you wish my dear.
If you want a woman that's as equal as you are and you somehow got to find one, that's good for you.

What I'm saying is that every woman should avoid the mistake of saying he has vision, so many poor people today had/have visions.
She doesn’t even have to have a dime. I’m not concerned about how much she makes. There are other things that matter to me in a wife

Stop arguing with yourself.

I want a woman who’s going to appreciate me for who I am, not what I can provide. If women would rather marry rich men, I really have no problem with that tbh. Just don’t come and be forming love, knowing I would disgust you if I were broke
FamilyRe: Nigerian Ladies Stop Marrying Men That Are Not Already Rich by Belafonte(m):
Only men with low self esteem think they have to have a certain amount of money to be deserving of marriage.

As for me, the more zeros I add to my bank balance, the higher the likelihood of never marrying.

This is very cool. Never marry a man with less than 20m cash/investment
I’m intrigued when I read comments like this. So, if I have 20m in cash & investments, what value is the woman bringing to the table?

Do note, that I don’t think I’ll be ready for marriage if I don’t have 50m in cash & investments, but whoever I’m marrying has to be worth that 50m

Nothing is absolutely wrong. Sometimes we play short-cuts and get into trouble and some other times we succeed. It is a free will universe but with laws, you can break the law but be ready to run from the consequence or be caught to face the music. But all is allowed. I love short cuts myself but I also know where to draw the line.

No one is perfect, not even the God(s). They designed those short-cuts.

Spiritual Masters are not perfect. They have needs too. And sometimes they play short-cuts too. Some are caught others can escape. But Rules are designed to maintain law and order, though we can exist in chaos.

So all is allowed.
Maybe the shortcuts that work are milder and more ‘wholesome’ for lack of a better word. I really don’t know and I’m not in a hurry to find out. The knowledge I operate on allows me to receive wisdom and act on it to achieve what I want. To some, it might be a shortcut but it’s a process to me. I like to find out how things work before committing myself to a course or line of action, hence my search and request for wisdom before setting out.

Secondly, what do you think about shortcuts that require harming someone else, maybe by injury or even death? Can perpetrators of such injuries ever go scot free. I believe they get their karmic reward, but since you say some people might try shortcuts and experience no repercussions I’d like to pick your brain a bit on that.

Finally, grin, a couple of months ago, I came across a native doctor’s video on YouTube where he admonished people to stop doing money rituals as that’s evil blah blah and that there were repercussions. However, what caught my attention was him saying there were other spells/charms that can be done to boost one’s work/business that don’t involve injuring or killing other people.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for this post. This man wants to trend with Fashek’s death.
He was on drugs and if he was seeing something, it was because he was probably hallucinating.

...what’s wrong with Dede Mabiaku?? Dude is one over zealous and fanatical Fela’s fan. He needs to calm his silly head down. Majek calling Fela and Bob Marley his boys was just an innocuous expression. It’s same as saying Dre is my nigga, Wizzy is my boy, Phyno is my aroba.

As for Mcroy, I’ve never heard of him or any of his songs. He simply wasn’t talented enough. Blackface might say the same things if God forbid it something happens to Tuface.

You simply can’t hide talent, you might misuse it, it might take a long time to manifest but it all comes from God not from Maharaji stuffs. You are born with it and every bits and pieces that fall into place to create a genius would’ve come from the parents.

Uche Chukwumerijes children inherited bits and pieces from him and his calm and beautiful souled wife,
Osadebe inherited his skills from his parents, Check Bovi, A.Y., Basketmouth...these guys parents would be very funny or their grand parents would’ve been funny. Kanu and Okocha’s children might not have their football skills but the gene or the molecule responsible for their football success would Ibe day manifest and we shouldn’t be surprised.

I digress....Majek Fashek was successful because heaven gifted him with his music skills...just like Bob Marley and the Wailers, Mashek has the voice, talent, look and personality which producers and fans alike look for.
My friend, this interview was granted in 2013, seven years ago, when Majek was still very alive

The Bible is not entirely correct, not because the Creator(s) made mistakes, but because those who compiled the manuscripts of the book were not 100% sincere. They distorted most of the structures of the Book, and even the early writers misintepreted the things they saw.

If the writers had access to the latest Scientific Data of our time now, we would have had an entirely better book that tells about Universe and every other thing that the early writers intended to pass across.

The Bible is a Program Manual.

The devil gives you a cap and collects your head with it. He gives you shoes and collect them with your feet.
True joy and freedom are found in Christ. Where Christ cannot take me to, may I never get there. What God cannot give me, may I never get it.
In this world, nothing goes for nothing. You must let go of valuable things to acquire other valuable things. So, the best way to acquire those valuable things is to create even more valuable things.

The people who lose their heads are those who don’t want a fair exchange. They want something for nothing, or they want to exchange with valuables that belong to other people. The Bible says, “the curse of the Lord is upon the house of the thief”. So if you steal somebody’s head or breasts to make money, just know that you will eventually relinquish yours when you least expect

You are correct at that level.

Most Pastors have no direct link to God or even Jesus. So sometimes I think if it is not all games.

I believe direct connection to the Master is essential, so even if you are in any Religion and the Imam, or Pastor or Shaman knows what he is doing, he is supposed to teach you how to access God directly or atleast access Jesus directly may be through dreams or visions.

If one can not connect you to the Collective Unconsciousness and can not even connect you to the Master of that Program Access to the Collective Unconsciousness, then does he as a Pastor or Imam etc have directly metaphysical access to the Master? or even the Collective Unconsciousness or even the SuperConsciousness System?

There is so much foolishness on the part of Humans.

Salvation is an individual thing, you DO NOT NEED A SAVIOR, you need a Guide. But the human Guides are cons. Even the Spirit worlds, there are many cons who deceive people that they are Gods or even Jesus. It is a complex game.

It is a Very Narrow Road. It is a very complex Game.
Most people are being misled because they want shortcuts, which is why money rituals and fraud and yahoo exist. This same shortcuts lead them to being hoodwinked by spiritual hustlers.

You are right on track. I have a feeling you will make it in this life-time because your understanding at your level is very clear and sound. Please note that nothing is absolutely wrong with All Religions as they have been constituted.

The Religions were initially designed for a purpose, and that purpose has been achieved, but the shops were not closed down before the shylocks took over and use these institution as mind control centers as well as OPM(Other People's Money) revenue collection centers and money laundering charities.

We are the Divine in fractals of archetypes of the Divine Absolute. Individuated units of consciousness having unique experience on a 3D plane of existence. So the process of evolution should also be unique. Organized Religions of any kind, seeks to erroneously think you can fix Spiritual Ascension using group-think or Dogmatic Theology when you have not even known all or can answer for all.

And you wonder why I think COVID-19 is a perfect wake-up call for Humanity? If COVID -19 does not wake humanity up; then what will be done next might not be as nice. - I digressed, but then there is a reason for that.

As for Majek, I really am impressed that he at least made an attempt of knowing more, even though I know he may have given loyalty to an AI.- Cosmic AI.
You know, I have also come to the conclusion that the other religions are simply other paths to higher consciousness. However, I’m also of the opinion that Christianity, Buddhism and some others are the cleanest forms of codified spirituality because of its 10 commandments which Christ later summarized to loving God and your neighbor.

Where many other religions don’t mind hurting other people to achieve spiritual ends, the above listed are more unselfish. I refer to them colloquially as ‘Clean Energy’

By Chakra you mean the 5D circuits that connects the 3D Avatar to the interuniversal consciousness. When fully activated, the flow of data comes from the collective consciousness. And the temple has to be clean to reduce the resistivity of the flow of data without burning up and destabilizing the up the physical 3D organism. I think it is the imbalance and the sensations that is pulsated during the imbalance that made Majek Indulge in Alcohol and Cannabis a lot to feel stable. The ignorant can think he was on drugs or mentally sick. He was suffering cos he didnt know what he was facing anymore. It couldnt make it out of the rabbit hole. Once known, you can unknow and half knowledge is worse that ignorance. You have to worship nothing in the rabbit hole. You have to request for nothing. You have to be loyal to nothing except .....The Great Unknowable.

If one manages successfully, and channel the energies through the right frequency portal, one becomes an inventor, an artist, a creator, .....just a great originator of stuff.

This is the Key to Creation.
I used to be a Christian along the lines of the normal church-going format and as I have got older, I have come to realize that Christianity as it’s currently practiced majorly favours the owners of the various churches and they simply share snippets of their own spiritual insights to their congregation.

Spirituality is such a personal race that should be custom-made to account for the intricacies of the individual personalities and spirits.

A lot of Christianity today is simply fear-mongering and spiritual fraud going on to acquire wealth and power for the owners of church establishment at the detriment of their followers.

I also believe the purpose of life is to create. The truly spiritual individual expresses that spirituality by creating something of value to the society

My observation, the elder sister believes she raised her up and believes she should serve her, but I don't believe someone this good deserves more.

She saved and wrote jamb this year but now she has been discouraged and something in me is telling me I should help her.
