Thanks, I guess the health insurance plan is a good one as the private ones seems expensive for low income earners.

pocohantas:
Well said. Forget his opening post. That response you quoted is his main thought towards NIDs. They know Nigerians abroad wash corpses, yet they won’t stop begging them for money? Lol!

Unfortunately, he doesn't know any Nigerian doing great things abroad except those washing dead bodies yet claims he is doing so well and earning in dollars.

The guy is just a wannabe.

Tunjibalogun:
I'm doing well in Nigeria and a professional. I can't relocate to wash dead corpse upon sleepless nights like your useless self is currently suffering in abroad. Lmao. Only poor irrelevant Nigerians like u relocate, that's the truth. Lol

Apparently, this is the thought on your mind you wanted to express. Your thoughts alone suggest you're very poor in spirit.

Dinner:

Rice and dodo.

Dinner:

Amala and okra soup.

Yes you can.

I am not sure how thing work now but most times they require to sight your notification of result and nysc discharge certificates.

Hmm.... why the visit to every church?

Dinner:

Chicken and beef quesadilla and nachos.

jimetagambo:

No, oviedo means someone from Edo State.

descarado:
And we say iseeeeee!

Meaning amen

Are you Oviedo?

omooba969:
Mr Gboyega, with due respect, no dey refer to ya wife as madam. Make you dey call am 'my wife' - or you dey shy to use dat word?

If I check now, she go be one beautiful young lady - which one be madam.

Biko.

Noted sir. I thought the right Nigerian word is madam. I will make adjustment going forward.

Look at this soup. You only make this type for your inlaw.
They will rinse mouth with better palmwine.

There are two types of palm wine. I'm sure many of us don't have any idea .
Nkwù enu and ngwò. Nkwù enu is more expensive.

Nkwu enu is usually giving to in-laws and important dignitaries. The taste is diff and sweater on the first day before fermentation sets in. Ngwò is for the masses.
Experts always know which one is which when they taste. Most times sellers mix the two. They also know how old it is through testing.
Nkwù enu is from normal palm tree in people's farms or compounds while ngwò is at the base of streams, rivers bush etc. Its always around water most of the time. It's like wild palm tree.

Picture of the two.

I feel honored. I made it for me and my madam. She is the representative of the in-laws.

Sunday lunch:

Pounded yam and bitter leaf soup.

The issue is different people go into marriage for different reasons and once they are not aligned, this is bound to happen.

Rozross:
Domestic stuff is not his work? Ok What makes you think taking part of the financial responsibility is your work? You mentioned Support and is the husband helping out domestically not a support? Personally I don’t like to see men doing domestic chores but i believe if you are in a marriage where you provide financially as a wife then there’s nothing equally wrong if the husband provides domestic support as well.

One song came to mind while reading this. It goes thus:
"Aimo lo nse o, pe gbogbo ohun to ndan ko mi wura omoge;
To ba di gbana a ye o, oju re a ja to ba ye o na...". Which means not all that glitters is gold and this you will learn at the right time with great lessons.

There are homes where the wife doesn't earn a single dime and the husband still helps a lot with the chores and some where the woman carries most of the financial responsibilities and the man doesn't do a thing in the marriage. All it implies is that each home is unique and have its dynamics.

Rozross:
Solely plan on the 100k first before thinking of what the other person brings to the table. Any man with such “bring to the table” mindset does not go far in life, let’s be realistic for once.

Apparently, you have no objective reason for creating your thread. If you think he wouldn't go far, let him be instead of trying to leech on him.

emmaodet:
And funny enough, she has been holding on since her 20’s, banging different rich guys all in the name of relationship to secure them but dem dey chop clean mouth.
All of a sudden, she found herself in her 40’s.
Unaccomplished, no kids, no family, no reasonable relationship and to make it worse, she is not even financially prepared for the life in her 40’s and above without a support from a man.
What a life

This doesn't make you sound reasonable because you don't know her story. Learn not to make hasty conclusions.

Blessedmercy8:
Hmm... We are still getting to know each other though but he's seriously itching to settle down considering his age and he's not trying to give us time to know if we are what we really want in all ramifications.

Ok, thanks.

If at the age you guys are you need so much time to know if each other are what you really want then, there is fire in the mountain.

I am sure you were not pressured to say yes to dating him thus, you guys should be able to tabl the most important things you are looking for in a partner and size each other up to know if it is worth it.

GenderMix:
No doubt money is very key to sustaining a marriage. Infact it's one of the key ingredients that can help grease love. The lack of money can make love go sour...lol...

Having said that, marriage has an ultimate aim which is for companionship. As far as both of you have the drive to succeed and are not lazy and can cut you cloth according to your size then the amount may just be inconsequential.

If the man earns 100k, he has the qualities you like and is focused then you can start with that. Just ensure he has common sense and listens to advise. It doesn't matter if as a lady you earn higher than him. You guys should have plans and execute them together. Just encourage him by supporting him financially. Just assist him but let him be the one to take care of the major bills.

Plan around the money you earn. Don't live above your means. There are pragmatic means you can adopt to cut cost. Forget the pressure around, most of what you see are illusions. Just focus on your happiness.

I wish you best of luck.

Even when she earns higher than him?

Blessedmercy8:
He's earning a 100k and wants to settle down. Can you as a lady earning a little above him agree to marry him?

Is it advisable to enter into marriage with such income considering the situation of the economy?

Yes, they can get married however, they should try to increase their economic capacity as a family. Two good heads are better than one.

I wonder how these terrorist keeps releasing the victims in trickles and the government is unable to nab them.

Ishilove:
I'm nice but otito koro. One moment of carelessness can cost us plenty. The most annoying thing is the reason they even had sex in the first place is very stupid

True though.

Ishilove:
What next is... Take your friend to do the ultrasound as Romanoff has suggested, and if the date correlates with the day you tripped and fell into her vagina, then, young man, you are fvcked. Pun not intended.

Take responsibility, confess to your fiancee and just hope to God that she forgives you. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone (although in this case you deserve to be flogged with fake Oraimo charger cord).

I thought you used to be nice. Did someone hack your account?

It isn't yours. She can't be two weeks pregnant as pregnancy is counted from the 1st day of last menstrual period. Tell her you aren't coming and demand a DNA in advance. She will open up and if she doesn't, Wai till the child is born and once it is confirmed the baby isn't yours get her sorry ass jailed.

This is a really tough situation. Nigeria is blocking the repatriation of funds NOT because it wants to damage its reputation or deprive Emirates of its money, but we are really on strings now.

Every USD in the economy has to be scavenged and kept aside to finance importation - both of fuel and food.

Instead of insulting the government, Nigerians now need to be more patriotic in putting up a united front. For now, with the absence of Emirates and soon to be other international airlines, we should actively support our local airlines like Arik Air who are flying international routes and quickly launch Nigerian Air to complement them.

Emirates and by extension IATA should be patient and calm down. They will get their funds in due time, let's fix ourselves first.

This is not fixing Nigeria. It is only worsening things.

Dinner:

Yam and Beans.

Why not wait till you get married?

Ah! This woman and the government is terrible.

Klass99:
Shuuuu, what is it with misunderstandings on this forum like this? Gboyega, there's nothing to improve on.

Your food pictures are good, I just like your kitchenware and background better than the food, because I am not foodie.

I could put more life in the pictures. I generally want to improve my picture taking skills as I realize I don't take pictures at all.

Klass99:
You are right, that does happen every now and then. I'm good, thanks. Hope you are too.

Someone shared a few posts from the food thread, I've been meaning to tell you and GboyegaD, your kitchen backgrounds and kitchen-wares are lovelier than the the meals you post.

I spent more time soaking in the backgrounds and admiring it than I did your cooked food. I'm not a foodie who loves cooking so the attraction for me was the clean and lovely kitchen.

Thank you for the feedback. Truth is I am not a photo person and that could be the cause. I will try to improve on this.

It changed from time to time as I grew up.

Initially, I had intentions of becoming a lawyer however, I learned lawyers lie and my innocence then made me change ambition.

Going into High School, I was posted to the sciences but I just felt I wanted something different and at that point I wanted to be a Chartered Accountant. Getting to my final year, I changed because I loved Economics and then decided I was going to have a PhD. I wanted to be both a Professor and a Bank MD at the same time.

Today, I have dropped the Professor thought and I have the PhD in Economics as I desired. Right now, I am back into the banking space and thinking about growing up and my ambitions, I am reawaken to the thought of becoming an MD. This might be tough but I will do some soul searching to see how I can make this happen if possible.

Thank you for this topic at this time.
