20k? Lol. Okay.

There is nothing wrong with her being a full-time housewife if you ask me. She can make money from home. Well, do what works for you and congratulations to your wife by the way.

you want to place her on 20k salary monthly? that's 240k in a year, what happen to setting her up with 400k business?



I hope you're not a salary earner with this mentality of salary job, I don't think is wealth wise for husband and wife to be a salary earner of a private firm, there is still future in govt job but private firm?



so is either the husband is doing business and wife is doing salary work or vice versa



you will soon come back here to write how your wife is not giving you time, I wonder how she will with writing note, teaching and all that stress that comes with school

This is not an economically sound decision but hey, some people prefer to work for other reasons asides from money.

Congrats bro!

For celebrating this small win, may bigger win locate you and all yours!

Cheers!

Hey nairalanders!

So elated that my wife finally found a teaching job after so many attempts.

It has not really been easy watching her being a full time housewife, as I feel she would tend to forget what she had learnt at school and by implication become dull, though she had been an amazing mom to my son.

I just need her passion reignited by practicing what she learnt at school, the start up pay is N20,000 but notwithstanding I would place her on a monthly stipend of N20,000 also to cater for her transport fare.

The school is a stone throw away from where we reside so she won't be spending much on tfare, and I also plan to enroll my son into the school's crèche, as it has a very conducive atmosphere for learning and it's also kid's friendly.

so guys what do you think?

As I would be spending more on her working, compared to her staying at home.

Abeg where did your wife find you? Let me go there and see if there are more men like you. Supportive husband of the year.

Adviser, you'll not mind your business. You think its everyone that likes business. Who told you teaching us stressful? Oversabi housewife.

If they had told me some Nur/pry school teachers collect up to 650k in this Nigeria,i would never have believed until I talked with one teacher yesterday.. He teaches at lekki.
Immediately my love for teaching job increases.

am Visualise ur young and beautiful family Op and am vry happy for you. i dey pray to God to give me a good wife like yours and also, the money to marry her and live happily together.

Serous if you are in kaduna, I will have given you Christmas chicken,

We are the ones that cause underemployment in Nigeria, Imagine some Engineers receiving 35k for salary, when you tell then you want 150 above they will show you Thier Engineers receiving 35k, Ahhhhh mogbe, is it not better to go and do labourer work and carry cement or open my small shop.

And Bankers that will wear suit and be smelling just to receive 20 or 40k ehnn

It is well, I have told all my guys that I will quit my Engineering career to focus on new skills

What skills are you looking at?

What branch of engineering is yours?

Monthly pay is 20k? e small tell your wife after 3 months wey she don work wella, make she go meet whosoever is in charge say she want increase, one thing I've learnt while I was teaching in private school is that everybody no dey collect same salary na according to your negotiating skills and experience...

Thanos5555:



Are you a slave and you trying to enslave her also, it really unfair and bad, she will get to work from 8am to 4pm or probably 2pm, for 20k, while you have enough money to open shop, which she can close and go home to attend to emergencies and probably expand to be able to support you in future or God forbid, if something bad happens to you,

But instead of you to think of her future, you are trying to show off your own good income


Edit: if something g bad happens to you, in this useless Nigeria, your wife will become a beggar on the streets, that is your plan right

In your hurry to respond out of context, you quoted the wrong person as the original poster. Please direct your post properly.

Secondly, my question was in general terms regarding the phrase I put in quote, and not specific to this particular job the OP's wife got.

There are "jobs" and there are "jobs". If one lands a job in a leading IOC or Telco that pays a net of 1m every month, would you disregard it because you don't want to "work under somebody"?

Let's us be careful in our castigation of paid employment or "working under somebody". We must not all be entrepreneurs. Paid employment is one of the fastest way to wealth accumulation if one lands a mega-paying job and is financially enlightened. Also, even as an entrepreneur, won't you employ people to work for you? If everybody then harbours this same mindset of not wanting to work under somebody, who will the entrepreneurs employ?

My job pays our bills quite well, I was celebrating because finally she had gotten a job and won't be a full time housewife, only if you knew how many applications she had submitted, celebrating small wins would create an avenue for the bigger picture, make she go work jare, an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

Like the guy said.... why can't she start a creche? Filing application after application for how long ..... shows the mind is locked into her being an employee .... never ever considering being self employed. With her knowledge and skills and passion and experience .... can you say why she can't start her own creche? .... what has the owner of the school has over her?

What branch of engineering is yours?

Am looking at Blockchain programming and data science next year, I am from civil Engineering, I have already enrolled to small courses, even though I have previously skills in python programming

soundOsonic:
20,000 naira and you are celebrating?
Are you sure you are not trolling?

You people are the cause of underemployment. If the work and input you put in that job isn't worth 20000 naira.

It is better you remain jobless than you work that Kain work.

If everybody decides not to work 20k work there will not be 20k work starting salary will be around 30k.

Minimum wage is 33k it is illegal to pay any staff below that in a sane country. Anyway Sha anything goes in Nigeria

Do not despise your little beginning...I started with 6k teaching job. The proprietor of the school gave me info about where I work now and the rest is history...thank God I took that job.

You think to run a crèche is easy? Op congratulations to her, let her be alil independent and also learn how to be conservative. Do not mind all these fast lane men that do not even think about how big your accommodation is for her to open a crèche.

From your write-up I thought it was a #45 000 startup salary. That would justify the "it took a while". Come to the south east vacancy for teachers pass sand and to get #20 000 teaching job is a no brainer.

I won't be surprised if this is in the west.

Inspirational speaker, I hope you read the post, it a private school at 20k, you are now adding multinational company, who won't accept such an offer

Please it not everything one applies motivational quotes, this is clear common sense

Again, you are letting your typing fingers outpace your brains. Please direct your post to the original poster, and not to me, because I aint the one who is sending off his wife to teach in a school for 20k - even though I see nothing wrong in it as long as it is aligned with her career plans and aspirations.

#20 000 can barely last one for 1 week as a bachelor. Imagine a married person.

Please while we remain grateful to God for life, let's not celebrate poverty in the name of job in 2022.

The economy is not smiling.

You don't need to explain yourself to anyone here, your wife got a job, and both of you are happy, now celebrate that in-house and don't let the village people on this forum spoil your blues.

Happy Holidays.

Wazobia2216:

Took my time to read through! You are already talking about spending more on a worker!

Just get ready to shoulder more responsibility because private schools sabi use person like say tomorrow no dey!

Also, put on the clothes of understanding, now that she's going to work, she might not be as energetic as she use to be!

At times even at night! Hmmmmm

I no know why you no open shop for am or she starts creche at home where she can manage her own business and have time for you, your kid and your home!

A word is enough for the wise!

Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you.

Ninisun:

Nothing in life is easy. Most businesses start from small ... we have the mentality to want to start from halfway up the ladder... never at the bottom. How big a place has to be to start a creche? The point was considering being self employed period.

Righthussle:
Congrats to her. Oya go give your scammer pastor some money in the name of Thanksgiving. Then your wife should give the thief all her January salary as First fruit offering.

No talk pass yourself o. E get why.

Pinkzebra:



Not everyone wants to be a market woman . Some want to dress well go to some official environment and show.their talents .


Op, don't settle for less , she can keep trying.other places while she manages that . I think it depends on the area you reside , schools in my area pay teacher up to 50k .
But if you have the money, both of you should work towards starting your own creche then a child center or school. But make sure she gets proper education.

Where is your area? I guess it must be an expensive city.

FarahAideed:
Let her not go na develope amorous relationship there sha..I know what I am saying

Amorous ke? The school environment isn't even conducive for it

I used to have buses on weekly balance, I was leaving the country so I asked my drivers to start balancing my wife who was stay at home then despite having NCE. Three weeks after traveling, omo, na me dey pay drivers instead. From gear box to engine to just any excuse to deceive my wife. We grounded all vehicles in anger to get new drivers. Meanwhile I asked her to get a teaching job close by notably in our kids school. Imagine my shock wey she said they told her BSc=#20k, NCE=#15k. God forbid! E no better she Dey house. This is Asaba ooo, not some village and a very good school at that. She later suggested we sell the vehicles for her to open shop since she was convinced that changing drivers would not help as they are all thesame. I agreed but which kind of bussiness? We reasoned from provisions to food to clothes. I wasn’t convinced until someone suggested POS. We decided to give it a try small, she started it with #300k in our street because I did not want her going to the busy market or road. Today from that street she makes over 100k plus, she has grown bigger and makes far more than people wearing tie to go and slave. I just came to realize that private work in Nigeria = modern day slavery. Today I don’t even send up keep money again for anything outside school fees which I just choose to continue.

Congratulations @emerich iam very happy with you and your family of the good news. Please celebrate her it's not easy, it is only those who do not understand getting married and your wife having nothing doing after trying every effort. She feel inferior and this affect the woman psychologically, emotionally and other wise; please assist her in your own little effort thank you.

Daniel058:
I would like my future wife to be a full time house wife/stay at home Mom,but she's not going to be going around gossiping oo

A small business of her own will do wonders

BluntTheApostle:


Does she have a passion for teaching?

If she doesn't, then your desire to ensure she is able to exercise her brain may not be fulfilled.

You see, all these mushroom schools that pay paltry salaries are usually not the right place to demonstrate one's learning. Usually, they are poorly staffed so much so that you may be called upon to teach a subject that does nothing to help you. Also, since they pay crap as salaries, quality is always a rare commodity. It tells in the body of staff, as well as the body of learners. Will your wife grow in such a piss-poor environment? Will she achieve job satisfaction?

[quote author=showafrica post=108805648]


Very true. Such schools will ask you how many or what subjects can you teach.

Once you hear that, run!
