How much

Gerrard59:
While I agree with the rest, the bold is quite tricky. I understand the place of both couples, but a woman who is a sit-at-home mom is adding greater value than just being described as a jobless wife. Obviously, the woman should be educated, both schooled and philosophical to be a proper SAHM. However, in a case where the man can afford to take care of the family, there is nothing wrong with having a wife who stays at home taking care of the children and housefront. Taking care of children is a job in itself, at least for your lineage and society. Properly raised children contribute positively to the wider society.

The global economy has distorted that system and one of its major results is low birth rates because women joined the workforce. This is not to say women joining the workforce is bad, but when both couples are working and abdicated the job of raising children to daycare schools, then even the money both are working goes to daycare institutions. It is for this reason Xi of China wants Chinese women to reduce working hours and stay at home so that birth rates rise. As for daycare schools, one of the reasons immigrant families in developed countries have higher birth rates is because their parents step in to assist in taking of their grandchildren, aka Omugwo.

Again, nothing wrong with a wife who works, but nothing wrong as well with a woman who stays at home raising the children and managing the homefront. Each marriage is unique.

Exactly
I don't know the reason for the high rate of attack at housewives as if they are lazy.
Many men don't even appreciate the efforts these women are putting at home to make the family run smoothly.
You meet your food at the regular time - morning, afternoon and evening likewise your kids. She takes them to school and pick them up, washes clothes, mop and sweeps the house etc and we just think these jobs are not work.
How many men can even do all these? Immediately most men lose their wives, they quickly rush to remarry so as to transfer that burden to another woman.
They hardly wait long enough to cook their own foods and kids, bath them, take them to school and pick up etc yet we don't appreciate the women doing these silent jobs

And later, a wasted WHORÉ like that will be hoping to settle down with a loyal and committed God fearing husband that will be loyal to her alone

Some that has been passed around by numerous men, single and married.

THERE'S NOTHING I DETEST IN THIS LIFE LIKE A GIRL WITH MULTIPLE BODYCOUNT.

You better get used to it else you may struggle to get a woman to marry.
The average graduate lady out there after service has at least 2 digit body count

Magnoliaa:
Maybe it's 'cause it's late, and that's why I am find it hard to articulate my thoughts on the post.

Like, money is not the root issue. If somebody will lose respect for you without money, then what they're respecting is the money, not you as a person.

Yeah, true, while money is an important part of marriage to be considered, what is the point of a marriage if it's going to break down over over financial problems?

It may not break down but will stretch the marriage probably to the limit
Argument, quarrels, insults start springing up when the man can't easily renew his rent and landlord embarrassing the family at the top of his voice regularly. School sending kids back home for non payment, hubby not able to raise any meaningful money during family events like burial of parent, wedding of siblings etc.
You said many women are loyal and respectful to their hubbys but do you know what is going on inside? Privately? What the man is facing?
I am a man and I know how close friends and families with respectful wives call me privately and share what they are passing through in their homes when soliciting for financial help.
Believe me, alot is happening behind the curtain

Nazgul:
This post was triggered by a friend of mine who is passing through hell in his 3 year old marriage. His wife made him believe that money isn't everything and he ignorantly got married to her in his indigent state. She stopped respecting him a long time ago. As I'm typing this, she has left him with their 1 year old daughter in Lagos and relocated back to Uyo.

So let's talk about money in courtship, Because you will need plenty of it in marriage.

Those who are of the opinion that all that matters in marriage is love not money are not serious! In fact I'd like to term them as jokers. Why? Because love won't pay your bills and put food on the table.

Women naturally respect financially buyouant men. Or in simpler terms, men who have money.

So don't let any woman manipulate you into marriage when you are not financially ready simply because age is fighting against her, because if you succumb to her pressure and get married to her, you are in for a Shocker

Women can sweet tongue you into doing what you don't want to do and blame you for being stupid to listen to her in the first place.

Before any lady corner you and tie you down in forced matrimony, ask the following questions...

1. How much do you both earn monthly? How much will you require to run your marriage monthly? Take inflation into consideration, and calculate how much you will spend on rent, feeding, utility bills, transportation, medicals among others.

2. Who pays the running bills monthly? The husband, the wife or both of you? At what percentage? 50/50, 60/40, 70/30? Discuss it with your Partner.

3. How long will you both work as salary earners? Any plan to invest in other businesses? What does it take? How much of your fiance will it take? What type of sacrifice will it require?

4. Will you engage in monthly savings? If yes, how much percentage of your salaries would go into savings?

5. Will you be operating a Joint or Separate accounts? Discuss this with your partner.

6. If you are running a business; How much does it generate monthly? Would she join you in running it when you get married? If yes how best can you two grow your monthly income?

7. What are your yearly Financial goals? How do you both plan to achieve them?

8. Do you believe in paying tithe, first fruits, offerings and sowing special seeds? You need to discuss this with your partner, so you can both plan ahead whenever the need for such financial commitment arises.

9. What percentage of your income will be going to your parents or siblings monthly? Discuss this with your partner. It's very important.

10. When CHILDREN start coming, how MUCH will you need to take good care of them monthly? Would you want them to attend public school or private school, are there affordable Private schools in your neighborhood where you can enroll them, what percentage of your earnings or savings would they require monthly to see them through nursery and primary school. Would government secondary school be better for them or private? Would public universities be better or private or abroad? These are things you must iron out with your partner before getting married.

Plan your FINANCES before getting married.

Set up your self for Financial growth not Financial failure in marriage.

Most broken marriages occur due to lack of finances or poor financial planning from one or both couples.

Nice write up Nazgul

Have said it before and I will still say it again, have seen Love failed more marriages and relationship than money will ever do

Many of these men were raping women or taking advantage of women in Nigeria. And still continued same in UK. A drunk woman in a club cannot give consent. Serves the idiot right 🤮

And what if we are both drunk?
Why must I be convicted while she is not?

Or does alcohol works different in a man's system than woman?

If CBN doesn't give DG unfettered access to fx,who then will they now give? Plastics 40ft Chinese knock off importers?
You can't prove CBN sold fx to DG at less than official rates so drop it.
With scale comes power to bend rules to your favour in forms of tax holidays,breaks and waivers.
Even traders like myself that have scaled up sometimes clear the markets of choice products and cause artificial scarcity by sheer Purchase order volumes and hike prices afterwards,then imagine what now happens in you have the firepower of Dangote Group?It's not out of place oga,the world isn't suppose to be fair.Go big or go home.
There's nowhere government bullied anybody out of business because of DG,don't even bring up the boring Ibeto story.
Dangote is just smarter than everybody else,it's that simple.

Hmmmm @ bolded

SeaTrade:
Remember,you don't just hike the price because you want to.
You have to own majority of the entire supply to be able to control price point in the markets,so to you,does it take a dunce to be able to control supply in a market?Do you know what it takes to acquire the capacity to be able to mop up/own an entire/majority supply in a 200m people market ?You think a fool can do that?
There's nothing illegal about milking your customers if you can,afterall it's a free market,you can always get from the competition.But of course my competitors can't supply you cause they can't fill up the supply volume I offer you so you'd always come back to me and buy at my prices after my weak competitors have exhausted their meagre supplies .
Bleep the customers,Bleep the consumers,Bleep the distributors,Bleep morality
What matters is profits,EOD.
You can all see BUA that put ex depot prices at N3500 and yet prices are yet to reflect on the streets because the volumes to actually crash street prices aren't there because distros will simply mop up all he's got to offer at 3500,hoard and maintain old price,rinse and repeat.This wouldn't happen if BUA can oversupply and flood the markets,
Abi where distributors want see money and warehousing to mop up and hoard 60MMTPA capacity of cement if BUA could achieve this? Business isn't black and white dear friend.
That means he just enriched middlemen and made no effect on consumers asides media parade,
Again Bleep the customers, its business.

pansophist:
Sometimes I just observe the way animals live their life, and I see how they don't have many of the problems humans have.

The only time animals will be taken care of is when they are still young, and need mama's breastmilk and protection. But as they grow older, mama chases them away, and it's over.

Take a lion for example, if he didn't learn to hunt from his mum, he would die of hunger when he chased off to fend for himself. No such thing as depending on another lion, or being a burden.

Actually, the biggest killer of animals is their inability to hunt themselves. It's purely survival of the fittest. To animals, this way of life is their default, but to humans, it is not.

Until you are in a position of being a breadwinner to adults, especially those who are ingrates, you may never appreciate the animal's formula.

Because one day, you will tell yourself the bitter truth, which is that a lot of these people you are helping aint seeds, but stone. They will need your help until you die, they die, or you stop giving.

Like seeds, many will never on their own become independent and blossom. Instead, they will become more capitalistic (aka manipulatory), and strategize to milk you maximum.

I call them stones. Pour water on a stone, bury it in the most fertile soil, and expose it to photosynthesis, it will still be eternally barren.

There is no justification for a healthy adult to not be capable of taking care of themselves. No single excuse.

Don't even know what to say again.

I went to one bar like that in VI, I saw the menu, and my spirit almost left me to run. The cheapest shit there was 30k, and na salad o. Same 30k that me and my crew will drink pepper soup, drink beer, chop swallow, and still get change.

pansophist:
That's the reality. Dont know if it's sad or not, but the Nigerian case is sad. This is typical of poor countries. And if the breadwinner falls, the whole family falls as well. This is unsustainable.

Because if a country is doing fine, people will live for themselves. Parents will have pensions, or they can depend on the social payout from the states. Your income will go to push you to self-actualization, instead of responsibilities to others dragging you back.

Only in Africa, a single breadwinner will be responsible for others

Then the breadwinner will be a workhorse for other ones who most likely will not do the same for them if the role is reversed. The price one pays for coming from an underdeveloped country (also known as ´´black tax´´) is multidimensional. Poverty is really expensive.

Bro, you just described me.
Poverty is really expensive.
I know what I did for my family yet it is always not enough, I am not doing enough blah blah blah.
It's well

And the ones that buy the land and build houses will probably not live there. Maybe rent it out, give it to family, but they won't live there.

The irony of life

Just working for others to enjoy their sweat and to make it worse, the person can even die untimely like 45 hears old when he thought he would get to 60 years old to go back home and enjoy his/her sweat.
Think about this also, what is there to enjoy in your 60s again when you have used the best part of your life 20 to 50 to hustle hard.
Above 50s, you start avoiding sugary things, scared of old age diseases like HBP, stroke, diabetes etc
What is there to enjoy again at that age sef when your skins are getting wrinkled, you don't look more handsome or appealing again, your movements are kind of sluggish because you don't have that youthful agility again?
To me, it is just a rat race to nowhere.

Westerhoffe:
That was how China developed, and today, you can't push them aside when it comes to technological advances and innovations.

Buy it, dismantle it and reverse engineer it.

And concerning the state of Nigeria roads, I think they really do not need to be fixed according to our Reps… but left to become more deplorable while stronger cars are required to access them, to the extent that boats and canoes will be needed in the near future to access them.

And these are the same people asking us to patronize made in Nigeria goods…

What a country.

LordAdam16:
Why not?

Long term, the naira will always depreciate. It has been depreciating since inception.
So why should a Nigerian, regardless of political affiliation, avoid converting their savings when cheap FX is available?

You make hay when the sun shines.
And right now it's a hot summer afternoon for the naira.

Your argument is illogical and you're conflating issues.
The rapid decline of the naira's value is primarily down to the economic policies of the dual APC administrations.
It is perfectly fine to criticize the rate of decline.

In fact, this is the entire reason for the criticism.
So they can drag down the rate and anyone can buy the $ for whatever reason.
If you want to hedge. Do that. If you want to buy for japa. Do that. If you want to buy to preserve your wealth through the inevitable devaluation. Do that.
And yes, if the rate rapidly crashes from 800 back to 1600, Tinubu and his appointees will be raked over the coals. Part of his mandate is to ensure currency stability. When he fails at that, criticism is justified.
It should not matter what Nigerians want to use the dollars for. We earned the naira fair and square.
If Tinubu and co are doing their jobs correctly, even if I want to buy $10m, I should be able to do so without any material effect on the rate.

I don't know why fellas in your camp are fond of gaslighting Nigerians.
We can't criticize. We can't buy dollars.
If it were up to you, only those with Ronu cards will be able to buy the dollars now that it is cheap.
Then when the rate goes back up, you'll start telling the rest of us to endure the hardship.

-Lord

Abeg where my Ronu card dey?

Angelfrost:
But, it's already falling na... The value of the Naira is already falling.

And if you mean the Naira will appreciate on its own, then you need to snap out of that daydream. It won't happen.

The only thing that will save this Nation's currency, and by extension the economy is radical changes in government policies with regards to:

Internal and domestic Production and
Consumption

Improved security and power

Drastically reduced Importation especially major imports with high rate of exports



The above will massively boost the demand of the Naira with its consequent recovery and appreciation.

If not... Naira will keep falling until it dies with the economy.

The Pentagon is conducting illegal biological research under the pretense of ‘public health,’ the Russian Defense Ministry has claimed.

The US is exploiting Africa as a testing ground and is relocating “unfinished” biological weapons projects from Ukraine to the continent under the guise of public health programs, the Russian Defense Ministry has claimed.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, alleged on Tuesday that “illegal” experiments are continuing in Nigeria, in addition to a host of African countries listed in a previous report.

The project is being led by America’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the State Department, he added.

Washington claims, according to Kirillov, that biological projects in Nigeria are aimed at combating HIV/AIDS. He cited recent figures showing that 60% of Nigerians suffering from the disease have received antivirus therapy using products from “Pentagon-affiliated” biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, which Kirillov said had previously tested its drugs on Ukrainians.

“However, the effectiveness of this program raises serious concerns. Despite annual funding increases totaling about $100 million, the HIV incidence rate has remained virtually unchanged and corresponds with 2009 figures. The mortality among HIV-infected people also shows unfavorable progression,” the Russian official stated.

This suggests that “American pharmaceuticals, even with the documented increase in consumption in Nigeria, do not have a tangible therapeutic impact, and Nigerian citizens are being exploited as a ‘free clinical resource,’” Kirillov added.

The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that a three-year contract signed between DTRA and American non-profit RTI International in August 2022 to monitor infectious disease threats in Africa’s largest economy is part of the Pentagon’s broader “biological espionage” schemes.

This includes “analyzing the epidemic situation along the borders of geopolitical adversaries and in the expected regions of military contingent deployment,” according to the ministry. Moscow also claims to have documents confirming that the Pentagon was spying on the biological situation in “Iraq and Afghanistan bordering China, Türkiye, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.”

Earlier last month, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed the US was transferring dual-purpose biological research activities to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Uganda, and South Africa. The move came after Moscow repeatedly exposed the Pentagon’s illegal military-biological operations in Europe, including Ukraine, Kirillov said.

Haaaaaa!!!!!!

This people just want to kill us all
They just want to finish us.
They will infect us with diseases and then later turn around and say the disease is from Africa and to now make it worse, a lock down is needed for something they deliberately created.
Then they inform our leaders to start borrowing money to buy vaccines to inject and infect us again.
Hmmmmmmmmm
It is not as if even Russia likes us rather they do use her do shege and she is kind of revolting and rebelling against all the plans and projects.
The Ukraine NATO support war really pain Russia. Hence, she wants to scatter the table.
She is now supporting Iran and helping them, spilling out top secret clandestine operation of the west and allies

Let's assume that Israel is an occupying state, does that give Hamas the right to invade and kill them.

If you visit someone, and he attacks you in his house with a knife for no reason, won't you defend yourself? Would you allow him kill you simply because you're in his house?

Russia are beginning to sound like Tinubu's supporters.

No bro. It is not if you visit someone.
A stranger chased you out of your land and you attacked him. Now he is fighting back claiming the God he worships had given him the land long before you own it.
No be juju be that?

I don't think it's not so much as what Iran wants but what US has been wanting to do. It's been their foreign policy for decades. Of all the countries in the ME, Iran is the only one they cannot conquer.

US supported and funded Iraq to fight Iran. Then after Iraq was weaken from the war, US went ahead and destroyed Iraq. If Iran was that easy to take on, US would have done it since.
