FamilyRe: How I Survive On A Salary Of 95k As A Married Man by Fairbanks(m): 10:37pm On Aug 23, 2022
tomtomastom4:
I created this thread in response to the post on front page about ladies that date men who earn less than 100k. Below is the link.

https://www.nairaland.com/7292274/ladies-relationship-men-earns-100k

Of a truth, its not easy to manage such amount, but when one is already in such situation, you just have to manage and improvise.
Now like the OP of the above thread requested, here is the break down of how we make our expenses.

To start with, I was earning about 130k previously before we got married by March this year, but I changed job and the pay of the new job is 95k. STarted the new job around Feb this year, even though there was a loan I was paying off.. Need I add that my wife was working in a firm where shes paid 45K, but two months after our married, she quit the job due to pregnancy stress. Am sure ladies will understand.

This is our break down.
Monthly salary 95k
I remove 40k first from the salary and transfer it to 3 different acct.
The first acct receives 20k. This acct is not touchable except on extreme emergency. Its our main savings acct.
The second acct gets 10k and its for our rent, also non touchable. Rent is 150k per year. Before u say my rent is high compared to my salary, I like my privacy very well. and the cost of rent isnt friendly in my state.
The third acct also gets 10k. This one is for semi savings. This acct is touchable when cash at hand have been exhausted before the next month salary.

From the remaining 50k,
I send 10k to my family acct. I and my brothers do contribute 10k+ every month and its been used to run expenses WRT our parents and last born.
I gv my wife 10k for her monthly up keep. Its small. But its the sacrifice we all have to make for the good of the family.
I hold 10k myself for logistics and transport. I must confess, is not enough. But One have to strive. My wrk place isnt far. SO transport is N100 to and fro, thats approximately 3k per month. The remaining money i use it for other logistics. 4k out of this money goes for gas wch last for abt 2 weeks. And when we want to refill and there is no other money left, we fall back to the 3rd acct.
The remaining 20k is strictly for food ( On this food issue is where I "duff my hart" cos shes really managing things well and trying.
Sometimes, I really feel for her, cos this her pregnancy makes her to crave for things that is not on our food menu, but then when the money is not there, she just surpress the cravings. At times I feel bad.

The remaining 5k, for now is used to pay back a tailor who sewed multiple pregnancy gowns for my wife.

Its good to add that any small money I make like 1k or 2k on side hustle, I directly buy mudu of rice, beans or flour for swallow.

Its not easy at all. But there are families with kids leaving below that.

My wife is abt 5mnths pregnant, we plan to divert the 20k savings to buying baby things in preparation for child birth.


The truth is that the economic situation in this country is bad and so cost of leaving is very high. But then one have to survive.
But then in Nigeria now, how many percentage of the population earn above 100k. In fact how many jobs out there pays such as amount.

The only advice I have for ladies is that if you are not working and you parent family is the type need financial help from your husband after marriage, or you are the type of lady that is high class and wont settle for less or manage with your man. Plz kindly wait and take your time to look for a man that is RICH or financially capable of taken care of you and maybe your family. Please dont hide under the cover of you want to marry quick and then accept a struggling man only to start putting pressure on his head. Plz wait and marry a rich man.

Most responsible men wont really appreciate it if you are always demanding for things you knw fully well that he can not afford.


It is also good to note that no condition is permanent, things will definitely get better. A better job might come or my wife might get a job after her maternity which will increase our income.

The bottom line is, as a couple, but of you will have to work things out to improve your finances.
Wait till u get ur baby before u come back to give us d details of ur first acct, second acct, 3rd acct and family acct. By the time u start from food and diapers u will av only single acct.
And ur wife dropped d job of 45k in this economic situation because of pregnancy stress of 5 months. what is stress in 5 month's old pregnancy to make both of u depend solely on 95k salary while expecting ur baby and with rent of #150k. I can feel the real sense of immaturity in ur post. May God help u i won't talk much.

U see? I don't know what to compare d arrogance of nowadays pastors with, as if he has never offended God or never late to any important occasion and dem go dey do like deputy Jesus and forget they are mere servant of the Lord. And secondly, why should I even take my wife to church to marry when u can simply go to Registry and complete it with traditional right? Romans 6:16
( Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey...) I cant even make myself to obey any pastor except God let alone that the pastor that has billed me for money ,for food and other items for wedding in his church will now be doing gragra to me. At d end of d day the man brought home his wife which made no difference and d pastor lost the money and d offering.I salute the couple's courage joor.

I only pray that he prove me wrong by outstanding governance.

FamilyRe: What Do I Do With My Home? I Need Sincere Advice. by Fairbanks(m): 5:55pm On Jul 08, 2022
immortalcrown:
Nawa oh!

Either you marry the girl legitimately and face the consequence or keep her as your secret baby mama and face a greater consequence in future. If Satan wants to finish you when you keep the girl as a secret, your wife will conceive and have a child after the girl has already had a child for you. It takes greater crime to cover up a crime.

You are afraid of polygamy but you are committing adultery.

You want your wife to give you a child but you have committed more than 3 abortions with a girl.

Is polygamy more sinful than abortion? Let me not even dwell on this particular question because not everybody believes abortion means murder.

A more bitter truth is that only God's grace will make the girl's child a responsible adult. Ask yourself the kind of girl that will date a married man and commit many abortions for him. Will you want your daughter or sister to be like this your side chick? Will you want such a girl as your daughter-in-law? Let me not talk much about the side chick and her family.
I'm so disappointed by this kind of useless advice of urs. I hate people that give this kind of myopic and sentimental advice even people like u are the one that complicate the issue for people like op. Do u know what it means to have a wife in ur room and avoiding u of intimacy since 2018 and still drag me to useless tests even when she knows she's the one having problem. This op is even gentle as for me I can't take 1%of that. I can't even keep a wife that deny me intimacy for just a month without genuine reason. The fact that I did court wedding does not Me a slave in my marriage in d name of law. Marriage is to be enjoyed Mr op go for divorce with the woman that holds u in a shackles and face ur baby mama . I did court wedding too be for una go start quoting me.

Christianity EtcRe: Winners Chapel Pastor Turned Babalawo: The Devil Lied To You And You Believed It by Fairbanks(m): 11:07am On Jun 12, 2022
I don't know why people mix Christianity with their hypocrisy, I don't know who assured u that being a Christian has certified ur heaven or being a traditionalist has condemned u to he'll. I have seen some Christians who are so wicked,cruel, unforgiving and do a lot of unbiblical practices. Likewise I have met a pure babalawo who has never practice anything apart from divination in their family for ages yet, he kkows d truth and has would never done wickedness. Some thieves have robbed my house, and I intended harming them by spiritual means and I met this man and he consulted ifa and ifa said I should forgive them and not do anything and d man ended up preaching for me to let it go. This same man also farmed so hard and he bought a brand new bike and a thief stole it just after a week. I was personally pained even though I'm a Christian by birth because I knew what this man went thorough b4 raising d money for this bike. I asked him to do something yet the man would not do anything claiming ifa said he should not do anything and will never defile whatever ifa says. Does bible teach more than this? Judging people over his personal motive is not what bible teaches in Mathew 7:1.

Christianity EtcRe: Why I Resigned From My Job As A Pastor In Winners Chapel And Became A Babalawo by Fairbanks(m):
Beosten:
In my formative years, we were three fiery brothers practising Christianity in Iwo town -- two of us very poor, but with strange will to survive. After secondary education and with nothing to live for, first among us was a talented beggar. As the second guy, my mother is late, and my father's whereabout was unknown. So, the first guy and I were living in one of the three houses I knew belonged to the father of the 3rd guy, but the father didn't care about the 3rd guy, though. The first guy is a genius in gathering monies through request for "urgent 2k" -- we lived on this for years.

Miraculously, I and the 3rd guy obtained degrees in science and administration respectively; the first guy obtained a degree in theology and became the chaplain of a university Chapel.

But those days as a fiery Christian, I lost 40% of my hearing. The last time I visited the first guy of a chaplain, he needed me to source urgent 5k for him. Just this morning, the 3rd guy called me that he has bone fractures and is receiving treatment at the Ogbomosho general hospital. He needs money at least for feeding, but none is forthcoming. Let me add that the first guy is in Baptist, I was in Winners Chapel while the 3rd guy is a Mountain of Fire adherent.

Then I joined the ministry in Winners Chapel. Oratory is still my best physical gift -- those in Winners Chapel Adeeke, Iwo in 2005 will remember me by the name Yinka. I had studied the scriptures from "paali to paali"; prayer sessions I handled those days looked like wartime events. While in the university, I was sent to pastor a new church in another town and did so successfully. But when I started full-time ministry, what you would usually call hosts of hell came banging at my door. They would tell me what would happen the following day and they would come to pass. They would tell me Mr A was at my door while I was still sleeping by 6:30am and that would be so.

Later, those spirits told me why I am on earth, and if I neglect my path, I would regret being born. They said I'm a Babalawo by design. I quickly went on overdrive binding "thoughts that may setup their selves against God's knowledge and every disobedience..." Then I would hear strange laughter of a group of persons suggesting the spirits were many. Then I traveled to see a primary school mate who is making waves as a general overseer of a church. All his prayers or deliverance made no difference.

Then voices started threatening me and commanded me to go to a village whose name I never heard hitherto saying that someone is waiting for me there. I googled the name of the town and I found it. I went there because previous messages didn't fail. I met the person and the priestess gave a stern warning that refusing to work for the gods would be a deadly decision. I accepted the calling right away.

But divination is not that easy to learn. I know someone who spent eight years on it. I became a pro within five months by some rare twists of events and within nine months, I became a full-blown Babalawo.

I'm tempted to say that Christians practice something different from what the Bible taught me. In 2020, my daughter was on life support at Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho. The bills were clearly beyond what my 50k salary could handle. I requested for help from the church hierarchy by calling the district pastor, and he said I should follow a correct route in channelling my request. I replied that I first of all called the area pastor who directed me and gave me his number to call. The district pastor started sounding offensive. That was why I came to nairaland and made a thread for help.

https://www.nairaland.com/5637056/meconium-aspiration-syndrome-baby

A nairalander sent a huge amount of money to me in the following thread to clear hospital bills.

https://www.nairaland.com/5641659/leave-patient-hospital-because-lack#86385594

I tendered a resignation letter in Winners Chapel in 2021 with two weeks notice. Before the notice elapsed and till today, I never heard anything from them about my resignation. But when the district church mistakenly paid a sum of money into my bank account after I had left (that money ought to be sent to the current pastor of the church) I told the accountant and he asked me to refund it immediately. While working there, I never had any history of misconduct. They treated me as though I never existed; that action reduced me to a new low, lower than the basest of animals...

The following advice is indispensable: life is not all about money; you're here on a certain assignment.

Hmmmm..... I'm still speechless because u are my friend from childhood. From village to BHS Iwo to Lautech I understand d hell this life has thought us. Well , I won't judge u due to my broad experience about life. Becoming babalawo does not mean u have missed heaven and beeing a pastor does not guarantee ur heaven as well, both are just religions. But my friend u should av thought about Luke 9:62 and Proverbs 24:10 even Job 22 : 21-28, Psalm 16:4 before taking ur step. You were the one that first thought me 2nd Corinthians 10:4-6 when we were in SS2, which I'm using to fight my own batles till today. I wonder where you dropped those weapons when u needed them most, I wonder where u kept ur faith and that lionheart of studying and quoting words of God. I couldn't even believe this d first day ur wife called me to inform me about this matter, I thought I was dreaming. I know ur level of spirituality even from Foursquare Gospel church in our secondary school days where we both performed as choirs including ur elder Bros our leader then. I know u have been through a lot but why forgetting so fast. Let me remind u that a total stranger has paid ur school fees in 300l in University and this is who u don't know till today, abi u av forgotten that testimony when I visited u in ur house at Gaa masifa that day? Indeed this JESUS has never disappointed u, u are the one betraying him in this manner. U are an orphan I know but Jesus is there for u friend. Pls think deeply because it is indeed complex to serve gods than to serve Living GOD. If u think about those wolves in sheep's clothes u might miss ur road. Know ur God whom u serve is my message to all believers. Indeed battle is not always for the strong and race is not always for the swift but time and chances happen to them all. (Sobs) Shalom.
