Vinnie2000:




Your First Paragraph is so on Point!


If as a Married man, you have Big dreams to Pursue, somehow either u will Neglect ur wife or She will not buy into the idea and may start acting up!


If its a woman, Her big dream may clash with her role as housewife and mother!

Exactly!

galantjoe:
Yes. Marriage is a big distraction to succeed professionally especially when you marry bad wife and incompatible one.

It is better you reach apex of your career before getting married. Then you relax, leisure with your wife, children while enjoying dividend from your investment. You can tour the world with them

Gbam

joetem:


very low percent. No long story, marriage slows u down no matter how u see it. Even dbanj wey be legend the moment he married (a good woman at that) every thing mellow down, same for kizz daniel and Banky W

Gbam. I love that you mentioned real examples.

GloriousGbola:


Dr dre founded aftermath in 1996 after he left deathrow with nothing

Aftermath struggled for years to make actual hits
The aftermath album didn't make money
The firm album didn't make money

Dre did not get back on his feet until the slim shady lp in 1999

Dres real hammering was when apple bought over beats for 3billion in 2014

So get with the program. His wife was with him during the darkest time in his career, and she was there when he rose to being an actual billionaire. Maybe you should find the memes of dre 1993 vs dre 2015

Of course maybe you think that 'success' of 1993 can compare to where dre is now.

Deathrow is bankrupt and was bought for pennies by snoop, snoop himself is more of a social media celebrity than an actual rich dude, the founder of deathrow is still in jail - whatever the success of that time was tied to is effectively dead.

Where are all the other names from death row? Daz? Kurupt? Jay Flexxx? Suge?

You know your hip hop history, I salute.

Wettoid123:
are u just knowing that marraige is a distraction to good hustling in making success, i just told my wife that i want to be doing uber with my toyota camry instead of depending only on salary but she strongly oppose it saying that upon the school i went to i want to be doing driving work i was shock!

Lol. This made me laugh. That's the thing about marriage... If you were single, you would have been able to start Uber business without affecting anyone.

GloriousGbola:


A parasite? Do you know how long they were married?

1996 to 2021

Do you realize the woman was with him and supported him in the dark days when he left deathrow and aftermath was struggling?

The woman was with him all the way from rapper to beats billionaire

How can you call the woman a parasite when Dr dre reached his billionaire status while married to her? How did she hold him back pls?

True... That lady deserves every penny she is getting right now, cos she stood by him through all the physical abuse, the cheating, the dark days and all.

Fxwarrior:


It depends on the person but there are certain decisions you can take as a single that you can't take as a married person. You have to consider your family.

Besides it also depends on the type of wife you married. If she's a drama queen, your name is "sorry".

The bolded is the koko

SeaTrade:
My brother told me this like q0 years ago and I'm beginning to think it's true.
As a man,if you have goals to achieve ,especially big ones, it is good to stay away from women.
Comes with all sorts of distractions and drawbacks.

Gbam. If you want to live a normal 9-5 life, or your goals are not so big, then marriage is good. But when you're thinking of big goals that have never been achieved by any man before, just stay single for the sake of your goals and the woman too... Cos you will either abandon your goal, or the wife will suffer at the expense of achieving the goal.

lalastimlala:

Bill gate, Elon musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Carlos Slim, Warren Buffett are all married men ooo

The first two you mentioned are divorced... And their spouses have said publicly how they suffered in their marriage to those men. Elon's first wife said he told her his work would come first... He even made her sign a document regarding this.

DonroxyII:
Making a decision as single is faster while you have to consider Souls and Bodies before making decision as Married.

In fact, some Endeavours Need to be abandoned or shelved just for the Home(Marriage) if not Consequences abound.

Marriage is the most beautiful events that Helped Shaped Human Evolution and Societies. Marriage failure is the reason for Societal Vices and Devolution of human race.

Gbam!

Vinnie2000:

Honestly, I cant help but Feel that Lionel Messi's somewhat dwindling form in the past 3 years may be because he has A WIFE!

Ronaldo, Wizkid, Burnaboy, Drake, Chris BBrown and lots of Successful Superstars have refused to get Married! Even Alh. Aliko Dangote is said to be single!

Oprah Winfrey, Rihanna have not Married till now. While the dancer Kaffy abandoned marriage because she felt it is an hindrance to her career!

SO, IS MARRIAGE A DISTRACTION IN A PERSON'S PURSUIT OF SUCCESS?

Lets not forget that Married Peeps like Beyonce, Jay z, Mercy Johnson, Yul Edochie, etc are doing well!

If you want to do what has never been done before... If you want to achieve great heights that have never been reached, trust me, marriage is a big distraction. But if you want to live a normal life... Work 9-5 and retire in your 60s and start collecting pension, then marriage is a very good thing.

Let me give you a few examples here on Nairaland. There was a female writer I looked up to here on Nairaland (literature section) around 2016-2017... I wanted to be like her because the rate at which she wrote stories (good stories) was very remarkable. But after she got married, she went off the map. Of cos she is happy in her marriage, but her writing had to suffer.

Also, there is a guy on Nairaland that started an e-commerce app to rival okadabooks and even amazon... I saw this guy growing, I chatted with him often, and I was happy for him. But once he got married, he shut down the app. I see his status, and I can see he is very happy with his family, but his dream is dead.

Those are two examples of Nairalanders. I can site tens of other real life examples, but you get the drift. The Op mentioned JAY Z and Beyonce being exceptions. What people don't understand is that Beyonce started singing professionally at the age of 8 with Kelly Rowland and a group of girls... Beyonce's dad was working with Xerox, and he had to give up his job just to dedicate his life on building his daughter's girl group... Even at that, it took Beyonce 10 years of constant grind to make it. What of JAY Z her husband... He started rapping professionally with Jaz O in 1986-1987...He didn't make it big until 1998...thats 11-12 years grind. So, Beyonce and Jay Z had already made a lot of sacrifice before they eventually married when they had become individually superstars already.

As I said earlier, if you want to live a normal life, marriage is a sweet thing. But if you want to be extraordinary, marriage is a big distraction.

Ciscogod:


Obaseki saw it from the onset , he had his inner circle in APC, the deputy govt , the house so they won’t impeach him and some notable patry members. But in Ambode case he saw the sign very late . If he had done otherwise . Probably he will be impeached and EFCC goes after him

If you want to crush your enemy, you do it totally . Ambode still have much to learn

Gbam. That's what people don't understand.

Rollsnjaguar:
Very good, let Ambode return and complete his remaining 4yrs. Now that Tinubu is busy running from one state to another. It will be easy for Ambode to win.

Lol.

tamdun:

Ur fellow black man will even insult u that u can't speak good English, borrowed language fà

Exactly

NkanuSon:
The west just want to destroy anything that is not in their favour,they hate seeing any country competing with them,they want to be above everyone and keep milking their slaves.

I laugh at all these fools in Africa that are surporting them,they are hypocritical.the best way to enslave someone is to influence his mentality not by force,force was used in the stone age,most of u don't know Nigeria is a western cage,u are all animals in their eyes but because your mentality has been tired ignorance will never let u know

We are not even suppose to be speaking their language but they've made us think using their language makes u responsible,just see how our locals are going extinct bcs of them,their agenda is to westernise they whole world

Mehn! This is deep. The language we're using to communicate is theirs... So, in a way, we will always feel inferior.

Paxxcarl:
you to sharrap nonsense talk
See as you dey analyse person money

I tire for the guy o.

yinkeys:

Oh well people are different
Sadio Mane uses his to build stadiums, hospitals, schools etc in his village. These toy cars don’t last. Hot cars 20 years ago don’t look that attractive anymore
Hummer etc

Your own money, what have you used it to do. Even if you earn 50k a month, what small charity move have you made? Who's life have you impacted. You don't have to be a million to be a giver or make impact.

Stop telling people how to spend their money they worked hard for.

JennyOfOldstones:
Don't go to someone's house without a specific purpose and without letting them know you're visiting. Don't stay beyond 2 hours unless it's absolutely necessary

Don't even stay more than one hour. I used to think 2-3 hours was cool till I went home to take care of my dad, and most of the guests that came to greet him (he was sick) didn't spend more than 20-30 minutes.

Now, anything more than 1hour is too long when I visit people.

OMEGA009:
Dear Nigerians,

Fish and Houseguests start to smell after 3 days.

Know this and know peace.

Shalom.

More like after 2 days. Lol

izzy4shizzy:
When them start sweep parlor when you Dey inside

Hahaha! This is the height of disrespect

Skyfornia:
For people wey dey visit, you will be lucky to have me visit you.

One of my friends is in the habit of visiting without prior notice, and he always visit when he is hungry. One time he visited, after serving him well garnished fried rice and gizzard with a can of malt, the next day he came with his babe, I refused to let them in...most especially cause they came few minutes to my bed time. He usually stay more than 3hrs anytime he visit

You didn't let them in? You mean they knew you were in the house, but you didn't answer their knock? Or you stayed outside with them till they got the message and left?

Nicepoker:
Where is slawormiir.

I think he is the one talking

madridguy:
This life though, some people enjoyment ended yesterday with the ex governor and today another set of people are in charge.

SO TRUE

DaBogu:
300k on a head that cannot recite state and capital

Emaprince:
Being a man is easy abi? Because of just hair?

Have you priced an ordinary mans shoes?

Even the 300k hair is something a woman can buy and use for years..because they wear, preserve, pick it up, brush it and put it on again. Not like the 300k hair will be gone after two weeks or a month. Then also, it is common knowledge that women easily acquire expensive stuffs mostly with mens money. So somehow, its still a man that worked for the 300k hair.

And don't hate that black men cut hairs. Those hair cuts make us look more manly. Even many whites go to barber shops to cut down their hairs in many styles.

Exactly

Between 300-500, depending if I am in Ibadan or Lagos. I remember like 3 years ago, i went to a barber shop at Ventura Mall in Ibadan to shave and carv my hairline (not hair cut o), and they told me 1k5. I jejeley got up from the seat. I'm not rich enough for that just yet.

McOluOmo:
Promised not to shag any girl for the next 3 months and now 3 ladies are disturbing me for sex, perhaps i bang one and luck up again...



Advice me please......!




Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind

Don't try it...Be strong. Those three girls came because girls can naturally instinctively tell when money is coming...but if you sleep with them right now, you won't get that big thing that is coming your way. They will cancel it. Stay strong bro...You wont regret it.

kelvinrhs:


They are assful

Yeah.

Neimar:
Nicki Minaj
Cardi B
Kim K
Iggy Azalea

Hmm...I see the pattern. They all have one thing in common.

Beverly Naya for Naija... Lala Anthony...and Karrueche Tran for American crush.

IPIGSRDOTARDS:
Best money you can ever make in life is legit money.
It brings and comes with special satisfaction and self belief that you are capable.

SO TRUE.
