If a man can’t provide or provides only very little (for reasons he can’t control) and his wife does because she makes much more, what is the husband’s role?

Lol...you wan leave that man? you think at this point he is ROLESS?
Needs to be discarded?
In this life as a man....HUSTLE oooooooo
If a man and a lady are hustling and the man scaled first, the society and the woman expects the man to pull her up BUT if the woman scaled the fence first, she looks down at you and tell you to double your hustle if you want her to wait for you or else....sope otilo

Acidosis:
If a woman is doing much better financially, the best approach is to support her partner by helping him establish a trade, business, or other venture to elevate his status, rather than relegating him to a domestic role.

Solving a problem by "forcefully" turning one partner into a domestic spouse, whether man or woman, is evil. Both partners should contribute financially and do household chores. The idea of who contributes more in either role should be irrelevant. Experience has also shown that the one earning more could actually have more time to spend at home than the other. This is 2025.

If you allow your wife to solely handle financial contributions while she does nothing with household chores, you are setting yourself up for failure. This is the truth: you will lose her respect, and she WILL eventually view other men at her workplace as better than you.

This one wey Mr Acid dey disch out redpill quotes nowadays, Bros wetin happen?
You never tell us oo.

Cadbury result is impressive.
I see her in 80-100 naira zone if she continues with this impressive result in Q2.
Current market price is #29.2.
This is a good stock to position at.
A 5m in Cadbury now MAY likely give 20m by December.
Do your due diligence.
Have not done compressive analysis.
Just using the summary to quickly do my findings.

Livestock will shell out most of the gains in price they have made for the past 2 quarters.
Though I expect them to declare a better result due to cheaper inputs like feeds and feed ingredients been cheap between September to February since they would have stocked then to use in Q1.
I don't expect anything optimistic in Q2.
Eps of 1.27k annualized to 6k per year is worrisome.
This stock may start shedding weight back to her previous 2-3 naira zone

IB Q1.
A 148% increase in PAT looks good after paying off a substantial part of their debts.
I don't know if they will be able to increase their bottom line by atleast 50% going forward per quarter

Transcorp Hotel Q1.

With eps of 49k in Q1, annualized to #2.
Price should roam between #8 - #13 but I am shocked it is trading at #145.
Who are those buying at that price?

Cutezt:
Nahh, that lady can hardly be tamed, except you go beat am taya and pray she doesn't kill you, there will only be peace if you become a blind husband. Her anger is the worst I have ever seen in all the women I have dated, she is the first ever lady that has put her hand on me, The man on the other hand looks like someone who begged her to be with him. My friend's wife told me that before they got married, she had never posted the mans pic on any of her social media accounts which his unlike her as my face was all over her social media while we dated, plus, after the marriage too, she never for once posted his picture, the only one she did was a video of her trad. Even her wedding pic was not posted anywhere, even by the guests. She got married without her church's approval too. It was a low-key wedding, no church wedding, just court and trad under closed door.

We had issues one night and she went to knock on the next flat after mine, saying she couldn't sleep in the same house with me, I was so embarrassed, my neighbor has to ask her what happened, after sheexplained, he asked her what state was she from, she told him, he was from the same state too and he said he understood how strong hearted their women can be, but she should never make the mistake of trying to get physical with a man. lets I forget, she is half caste too, so quite pretty. from looking at her and the husband, even you will conclude there is no way she settled for that type of a man. everyone who knew her was shocked, someone even asked me if it was a skit or she is now an actress.

SamuraiXXX:
You too will also inherit another person's left over, that's how life is

almarthins:
I felt happy for her, and sorry for the guy.

One of them is divorce, the other one is trying hard not to get kicked out because she has learnt no skills. Without the man, she is level zero baby mama.

Me I no just feel bad about at all. Na God safe me.

2mch:
Nothing. Na them de even try notify me and pepper me with their marriage but honestly felt nothing. Once I move on, that’s it. I am indifferent but dem no let me rest with updates about their life even when I block them. Dem go use another number. I don tire.

DissTroy:
I never keep track of exes, chat with them, or talk about them.


Since I'm not irrational, I consider all options before breaking up. And mostly to avoid drama, I drift away till she gets the message. None of the theatrics of breakups, and certainly not via chats so screenshots don't start flying since women like to play the victim's card.

I'm driven by mentality of abundance. 8 billion people in the world. 210 million in Nigeria. At least 25 million are single women. 33 million Nigerians active on Facebook monthly, and no less than 4 million active single women. That's before factoring in single women from other countries.

So why obsess about an ex or about exes when the options are in millions if I am up to it?

Gbam!!!!
You have earned a follower with this comment.
I like your mentality. I like the way you break it down backing it up with numbers.
Let me even break it down further.
Out of the 25m single Nigerian women, 4m active Nigerian women of Facebook on monthly basis, I only even need just 1 to marry.
Just 1.
My state is around 5m, my city btw 500k - 1m people.
Women will be 300k, ladies within dateable and marriageable age around 150k and that is in my city ALONEEE.
Those who will find me attractive and dateable enough will be atleast 200 women.
Who are ready to manage with me with whatever is on ground and I only just need to date 2/3 out of these women and marry 1.
So what are we now saying?
Why stalking on an Ex to see if they are doing fine or bad so as to laugh them for leaving you? That is a bitter soul there

Austema:
A broken relationship is far better than a broken marriage

Exactly.
Also, I don't know why people always pray or wish their Ex fail in the next relationship.
It makes them kind of feel better.
Humans are toxic and always pray for you to fail or struggle.
They feel better knowing their Ex didn't get married eventually or having a bad marriage.
Most humans are devilish.
They always feel bad knowing their Ex has a better and good marriage, happily married and going on vacation with her hubby all round the world. They will feel depressed.
I don't pray for any of my Ex not to have a good marriage. Of what benefit is it for me if she is not happy in her marriage? So that she will always regret leaving me? And I can always have the opportunity to bang her? Nahhh
Don't need that.
I am more than that.
I am too busy progressing in my life, meeting new people everyday, exploring new areas of life to be keeping tabs on an Ex.

Angelfrost:
That won't prevent them from relocating...!

Any young Doctor with the means can relocate, study medicine again, and start practicing.

You guys still don't get it...!

Forcing them to stay and suffer in the deplorable conditions is not the solution.

These same people forcing these Doctors to stay back will never allow them treat them and their families.

Even the Minister of Health and most Health commissioners don't use Nigerian Health care facilities.

No matter how you design the laws to force brains from leaving, nations that value and need them will fashion ways to make it easier for them to come in.


If, for instance, Australia needs 1000 Doctors urgently from the developing nations, they know precisely what to do to bring them in from their nations...!

It is a capitalist system.
No matter how much Kano Pillars pay her players, no matter the good condition of living, if Everton shows up, they will pack their bags and run.
The brain drain is unstoppable.
Even im England, the big 4 clubs - man city, chealse, man u, Liverpool would always poke on lower teams and lower division players.
There is a limit you can pay workers else, the system, company or country will fold

I don't expect any tangible appreciation in ucap.
Forecasted annualized eps of #1.31 is just #13 per share at pe 10.
Adding dividends, it should rove around #15-18 this year

ARADEL Q1 2025

https://doclib.ngxgroup.com/Financial_NewsDocs/43919_ARADEL_HOLDINGS_PLC-_QUARTER_1_-_FINANCIAL_STATEMENT_FOR_2025_FINANCIAL_STATEMENTS_APRIL_2025.pdf

Revenue up to 199.9b from 101.2b... roughly 100% increase.
Cost of sales swallowed up any gain to 120.98b from 38.5b. whooping 200%
Gross profit 78.9b compared to 62.7b generated from previous year quarter from 101.2b.
Gross margin - 39.5% down from last 62%.
Aradel used 61% of revenue generated as cost of sale while previous was 38%.

Mpeace:
Aradel has officially fallen. Now 448.00
Na wah oh

It has to.
They generated roughly 100% in revenue but a 200% in cost of sale to 132b swallowed up any gains made.
An eps of #7.77 Q1 is just #31 annualized.
With a PE of 10 and total dividends of maybe #30, I expect the price to roam around 350-450

bernardluccky:
The truth is that, when I finish NID form that maritime academy and discover that the school has no certificate I told my dad that I want to learn a programing skill but my dad friend insist I write jamb again and go for computer science instead and my parents agreed.

The only mistake I made is that I did not think about it I just accept because I believe everything they say is for my betterment.

You can be learning a skill and still be going to school.
If you drop out to face skill alone and it doesn't go as planned in future, you will regret it alot.
Better to have 2 options than 1.
The more options you have in life, the better for you

Lol. You don finally cast this him other account.

Last last na the 2 accounts go dey follow themselves talk for here. 😁 😁

APCsupporter:
They're all hidden. This is long, long overdue, but I'm happy. We shouldn't be made to read unnecessary rubbish everyday just because we are using nairaland

Any moniker that is insultive or writes rubbish, I will just quietly send him to the BLOCK industry

Gerrard59:
Agreed.


Even Ikeja GRA does not look feasible considering the continuous Mainland vs Island rivalry.


Sorry, but does this really happen in real life? I really doubt o as Cave explained it.

If you are going to come down, not too low. Lekki, VI and environment should be the lowest too.

To an extent, I can understand not marrying from a polytechnic for a man who studied at Covenant. See why I said the VI to Iyana Ipaja does not look feasible? But what about Covenant (man) and UNILAG (woman)? CU (woman) and first generation federal university (man)? Let's also put in mind that those from public universities outnumber their private universities' counterparts. But what I see happening will be arranged or marriages by recommendations. Many parents, especially of their privately educated daughters, will want to be involved in choosing men for them. To solve most of these problems, the Nigerian economy has to grow at above 5 - 7% GDP rate.

How will growing the economy by 5% GDP solve the problem?

emmasoft:
Please note that all dollar funds, including NDF, operate differently from MMF. They don't have the same underlying assets. While MMF assets are TBills and commercial papers, Dollar funds have eurobonds as underlying assets.

In investment categorization with respect to risk, an MMF is low-risk or conservative, while a dollar fund is medium-risk or moderately conservative.

Why do you classify eurobonds as moderate risk instead of low? Since bonds are low risk investment

CaveAdullam:
I get your point, Chief.

But the heart will always go for what it wants.

Creating a chasm for love which is automatically becomes romantic classism does more harm than good.

Love is not business. Business is not love. Both are separate concepts.

By the way, there's a higher possibility of CU male graduate + CU female graduate. But if it never occurred and it eventually becomes a poly female graduate that's what the heart really want.

The thing here is that most marriages are based on same level of spouse's potentials.

And in a hypothetical scenario, if we really want to tour this line, the majority are not going to get married.

Summarily: as witnessed average men and women get married to mates at the same level as them.

Thanks.

I get your point bro but how come women are not blind to pick someone above them? It is because they don't choose with emotions (Love) rather Logical.
Any one who chooses based on emotions/Love would always regret it on the long run.
Women are not blind to come back from Canada or US or UK to pick a spouse yet the men are so blind to do such.
Women heart are not soft towards a lady working in Chevron to pick a teacher yet a man's heart is so emotional.
Everything begins from mindset.
I will regularly nature them in the kind of ladies to bring home.
Moreover, your environment 85% of the time will give you your spouse.
Where you go to regularly is where you will most likely see your spouse - CU environment, back home to Lekki, shopping at ShopRite, church at winners in Lekki, golf club house etc is 85% most likely where you will meet who you will toast and date.
Unlike poor people who are not conscious of their life's actions, I am very very conscious of it.
You said if we toe this line marriage will crumble or reduce, I doubt that just that most will marry within their level.
One thing am sure is that, no lady will use marriage to my son to correct her family's broke situation.
Not my sons.
Moreover, the only reason marriage is still happening is because men Love it and will go a length to have it.
If most women are educated and have good jobs, they recent it.
Women don'tike marriage, they only like relationship.
In relationship, they are not obligated to do anything or have any responsibility. They don't enjoy waking up every morning to cook for you and the kids or fo to the market.
If they can, they also want to wake when they feel like, cook and eat what they feel like and when they feel like without the necessary pressure of it from marriage.
With relationship, they still get the sex, gifts, outings without the necesity of cooking for you when you come to their apartment or wash your clothes. A can of coke in the fridge with snack should do while you gist and have sex.
They should all cut us some slacks about marriage up and down abeg

Qatar2022:
If a rich guy have family like you he will be poor forever

CaveAdullam:
Nice points, chief.

Those women in higher offices and of higher statuses are getting married to men at the same level as them and higher.

There's something we must understand: top-tier people are the 0.1% of every society. They are not common. In most cases they only rotate within their axis - individuals at same level as them.

Back to the evolutionary game: men date lower while women date higher.

Men date lower because they easily flex their authority - leading, providing, and protecting. Women date higher because they are the weaker sex and search for the aforementioned men to safeguard them.

Going back to the majority of the population - middle class and lower class, there will always be a higher possibility and probability in dating and marriage within their strata.

Even if men date lower, in many wedding ceremonies we've have been opportuned to witness on social media - high profile men in their numbers got married to high profile women. And vice-versa.

Men aiming for high profile women must be occupying high profile zones. This is not a work of letters and imagination. It must be so.

Women are not visiting clubs and high-end places with their expensive make-up and wears for nothing. They are simply targeting fat preys - rich and successful men.

If men are advised to marry high-value women, they also must raise their standard by becoming high value men.

The crux of the matter: men and women as we've continuously witnessed every weekend always get married at approximately same level as their potential mates.

Of course, in last few decades, there has been a social and cultural change which affects the way we see dating, romance, love, and marriage. However, regardless of socio-cultural changes, humans will still rotate around their biological and evolutionary axis.

Thanks.

Yes, I understand bro and it is okay by me but my point is that even if men are going to go low, it shouldn't be that low all in the name of Love.
We go too too too low honestly.
Marry within your range or band.
All kind of ladies will always be within your band.
I don't want to believe it is only the ladies from broke homes that are humble or submissive. You will find them in the middle and upper class too. It is your job as a man to find them and marry if you are in that class.
Most ladies who were born and brought up in Lekki won't dare marry a guy from egbeda all in the name of Love.
The least they can settle for is a guy in Lekki too or abroad while a guy staying in VI will be wifing a lady in iyana ipaja all in the name of yeye Love.
If you are going to come down, not too low. Lekki, VI and environment should be the lowest too.
I can have a son who I sponsored to convenant university come home with a lady from Polytechnic honestly. I and his mother would reject her.
I will threaten her not to come near my house again.
The least he can go is Babcock or any top tier private uni, not even govt federal universities honestly.
Apologies to most of us that went to govt schools but unfortunately, I won't allow my son descend so low to pick a lady from there.
Actually I don't care if we have rich kids in govt. schools but he dare not

Don't mind them.
They will be shouting he doesn't want to help, he doesn't want to help as if there is anything to help in them
Ask them if it is business they want to do, they will say No.
Any handwork, No
School nko, No
I want to travel out to canada or US...na that pone be their own helping.
Oga, abeg make you HELP your HELPER to HELP you easy
