i pay utilities n tfare but very very small amount. But I live like a student, no frivolous spending or carrying women n giving dem tfare. I live like I will enjoy later.

Bros its well whatever suits you. But look for alternative investments please don't leave money as savings in your account. Ask around about Money Market and rather leave the money there.


Visit Stanbic IBTC, ARM or Axa Mansard
You will be glad u did.

AmericanSons:
one guy here said he spent 5Million for his wedding. I just weak lol.

I can't spend more than 1.5M for mine.

consistent source of income is the koko

Hahahha bros leave matter.

One of my friends budgeted 3M ended up spending 5M by the time he came back from Honey moon in US, he had spent almost 10M

Just go as the spirit leads

pedrilo:
I already hav a bungalow which I let out n rciv 350k annually, i work wit a private firm n rciv 120k monthly after tax n pension, i am able to save 100k from dis amount n use 20k for myself monthly, my plan is to either save money n travel out or save up to 5m, use 1m to get a moderate car e.g. Camry, use anoda 1m for wedding n settle down with a lady day can also bring sometin to d table no matter how small. I'm 31 yrs old.
Pls evaluate my plans.

Nice but how do you survive with 20k bros

Even if you don't help anyone or send money home ...

Do you pay utility bills, Trans to office , recharge voucher and subscription??

To the matter, well its good you have extra source but since you get that extra once a year, I suggest you find where to invest it to give birth to another steady source.

Pls don't save money in the bank, even if you have no plans for it, buy treasury bills or invest in money market. Don't just leave any cash in the bank.

damoskiy:
Seven digits or no marriage... Leave story...

Seriously 6digits is outdated, I support you.

anigold:
my brother 500k is ok but small.. except you are not planning to have kids... If you wife is a working class and earning atleast N100,00 a month and you make something close to that then you can think of settling now but if you have no such advantage please don't marry yet because you will be older than your father in 2years..

Gbam but it seems we are rating everything with Lagos standard of living ...lolzz

peacengine:
For me, at least N5 million after paying rent for the year. I gats to make my madam and kids comfortable

I like the last sentence madam and kids must be comfortable.

Some madam will require more than 5million to be comfortable sha...

Esp now that Assurance is trending...

kimbraa:
His question was straight forward as he didn't ask for criterion which deems one ready for marriage but the monetary aspect of it. I know it goes beyond money but one has to stay to the subject matter, and in the case of being able to fed for oneself and two others; if he could do that then there are responsibilities he's deemed capable of handling. No hungry guy could comfortably feed three mouths.

No be every food be food ooo

So I don't support your suggestions

biacan:
This guy with his poor dress sense

Nigerians never disappoints, so the guy can't dress the way he wants

Must he dress up to suit you.

Are you tired of abusing 2face of poor dress sense

Nawaoo

IMASTEX:
If the electoral process of the country can be fixed. This will force politicians to see performance as the only assurance to been elected by the people. Instead of this present cash and carry methods, rigging, etc.

hhahahhah. It is easier to rig elections with these machines than manual voting don't be deceived. Do you think el rufai is stupid.

msylva2147:
so this fool is still on my mention, that you have not read where I said I wouldn't want to waste my time on people like you so you won't draw me to your level? Sit down there and be waiting for my valid points.

Who is the fool now, you are still replying

Hahhahahahhahaaa

Am catching fun here ooo

Acidosis:
Lol, you can't even define an achievement. That's a pointer to the fact that no one has a one size fits all approach to life.

I agree society should not force or pressure women or men into this marriage thing. The pressure in Nigeria seems more because the entire political structure is weak, the future is even weaker. That woman in her 40s in the developed world knows she can always get the best fertility doctors and clinics whenever she's ready to birth. Even when she can't conceive, government's structures will handle her wellbeing upon retirement or old age.

You can't say the same thing for folks back in Nigeria. How many specialist fertility doctors do you have? How many families can afford IVFs? How many can even afford the illegal baby factories? How many old people's home do you have in your state? Who pays the bills?

It is a structural problem, and societal pressures sometimes don't go out of place. Mind you, it isn't only about marriage, but about everything including education. I bet you went to school because your parents wanted you to go, or your friends went to school so you felt it was the proper thing to do.

It doesn't work that way in the US, a lot don't care about college any longer because, with or without college, the future is bright.

As soon as you start working in Nigeria, people start advising you to buy land, that's why we have lots of shantytowns in the name of "real estate", it doesn't work that way in the developed climes. Government has provided a structure so people don't care. You cant be homeless even if you use your 35 years salaries on gambles. In Nigeria, the problem is structural and only the right political leaders can effect a change.

You are speaking Grammar

Is buying house achievement lol?

Abeg live matter and enjoy your life...

If you find good woman and marry congrats ( which is the subject of discourse)

My point is clear I do not support op's conclusion that guys should just pick anyone and marry just because it gets more difficult as they grow other.

As you get older and you can't still find it, get busy with something else. Shikina !!!


This world will come to an end anytime from now...

Ishilove:
Lol. The venue was in another state. Trust me, had it been in Lagos, I would have stormed there with my convoy

"Ishilove storms popular Nairalander's wedding in style"

na so ...

Acidosis:
Oga relax, at least 8-9 out of 10 world's richest men are married with kids.

You can be married and achieve your dreams, and you can decide to be unmarried and miserable.

you are confusing yourself.

No one said marriage is not a good thing.

Just like op stated the older you are the more difficult it appears. For me that is a more reason not to give it attention.

I will rather channel my energies on something else than worry about getting married.

If it finally happens awesome!
But I will never rush into anything because have crossed 30

The world isn't even getting better. Procreating in this wicked world is not encouraging.



Nigeria's population as at 1960 was 18,000,000
Today we are about 180,000,000.

Acidosis:
What is an achievement?

What you can achievement to you is your achievement hahaha

So that what will happen?

The night he arrives, more people will be killed.

Buhari is the most insensitive person I have ever known since I was born.

Osinbajo is just there ... And am disappointed

He is busy speaking English at conferences and calling GEJ names.

I expected more from a professor.

As far as am concern, He has no legacy, He has nothing he will be remembered for except being Tinubu's Lawyer

Meanwhile, Gej has a few good things to be remembered for if sentiments are put aside.

donstan18:
This thread is trying to tell us that the sole top priority of a Nigerian man or woman in his/her thirties is MARRIAGE .


True?

hahahaha Toks is a cool in matters like this but making marriage look like achievement is what I will never support.

In fact, from 30, building an empire, touching lives and seeing the world is my priority.

msylva2147:
can you see how you are exhibiting your foolishness in a public forum? Let me assume you are high on some codeine probably when your eyes are clear you can come back and re read the rubbish you just type up there, in fact let me concentrate on something that is beneficial before you bring down to your level idiot.

like a typical zombie, lol
Empty brain

No valid points

Explorers:
Lol.....Na sure sis o....

U are defending her ba!

Ishilove:
Explorers, I'm your biggest fan

but u did not attend his wedding ... Lover u can lie for Africa

SoapQueen:
Senator Akpabio! The man that put so many girls on a payroll.

Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop.

some comments can implicate ooo

ba7man:
Provide an answer not insult .

You're not a child.

tell ur people to increase ur pay, u are doing a great job convincing yourself bro. You deserve more accolades

ba7man:
Tinubu gave us Fashola and Ambode.

What has this senator done that he's being hailed?

Zombie ..

GavelSlam:
Well the success of the states tell a different story.

Maybe he's just corrupt and efficient whilst the Delta leaders are simply corrupt.

So I should celebrate efficiently corrupt people.

Continue...

oshe11:
Long-overdue

U self go copy

Olukat:

are you shining teeth at me or for me

Long over due

Abeg is the above English correct

Explorers come and see your twin

Meanwhile there was a country

msylva2147:
see who is calling someone boy, I guess you are nothing but slave and that's how you guys will continue to die for some criminals simply because they come from your either religious or ethnic circle.

I shouldn't reply you, but on a second thought you will feel like a local champion; let me put you where you belong.

You are dumb and just like a typical zombie you left the subject of discourse to display your foolishness.

Where is the religious and ethnic sentiment in the issue between senate and IG?

Few weeks ago the same IG did same to presidency and I spoke against it.

IG is an appointee and is subject to institutions that created and approve him.

You think is about me or religion or ethnic region, it can happen again unless it is strongly spoken against.


Why can't IG appear and defend his actions, will they beat him up, or is he a coward?

Before I called you a boy, but some of my boys in secondary school won't be this foolish.

I leave you to grade yourself, foool.

What of ATM?

A clear definition of APC - work - chop

adorable29:
Oh shut up already! Who is arguing with you. You posted it because the woman allegedly cheated on hr husband. I also posted that the Bank manager cheated on his wife. So what are fuming about.

Hahhahahhaa illiterate

Read my post again but this time use your brain if you have sense.

By my last count, the number of cheating wives has surpassed the number of cheating husbands...

If you read this time and still do not understand simple English, you case is different...

And I know, You just came by to be noticed, OK bye

adorable29:
The bank manager is also a married man who cheated on his wife..... Its 50/50, I guess.

Don't argue just because u feel like talking.

Read what I posted, reason it before you comment.
