Why can't you open a shop for her to be selling foodstuffs...must both of you work under person in the name of not staying at home?

Selling foodstuff belittle the guy.

No talk pass yourself o. E get why.

You still dey fear those thieves? Friend, religion na scam.

Good one. It will get her out of the house and make her feel better about herself. You are a nice man, one can tell. Please do not mind all these small small unmarried boys on this forum talking trash about what they know nothing about. The pay may be little but you will see how are morale and self esteem will be boosted. A happier wife leads to a happier family.
Cheers.

UyaiIncomparabl:
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.

hi, can you help me with a job? I'm a graduate

I have personal experience to believe Christianity is not. While there might exist fake pastors, it doesn't downplay the power in Christ.

Yours sincerely isn't supposed to be alive today but let's leave that for now. I had more than 3 close shaves if not God.

I know you might say it doesn't mean I won't still die but that extra years mattered.

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!

Opening shop is not for everyone. Going into business requires passion and adequate knowledge and experience if not it folds or goes bank rupt within a short time.

Who told you opening a shop for her isn't tasking too. It's not everytime you make sales depending on the kind of product you intend to go into.

OP its just a starting point for her,with time she will adjust and still perform her wifely duties. It's about understanding and planning. You are doing well. Your wife is better getting a job than stay idle. She will get productive as time goes on .

20000 naira work..guy u funny..comedian go and look gir 1.5m for her and open a shop for her..u will thank me later..Nigerians...a mother working for 20k..my bro make she stay house..I go to the remaining 20k..I think say I wan read better thing self
.get out of here

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

At least the OP's wife made an effort and it's better than nothing.

Opening shop is not for everyone.it requires time,skill, experience and a whole lot of passion.

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.

Thank you so much, God bless you, the aim was to get her experienced, many people were against me being so happy for my wife's new job despite the meagre pay, the sole purpose was for her to integrate fully well into the society, learn how to run and manage a school effectively, learn how the cooperate world works, socialize and make more acquaintances. Some peeps suggested starting a crèche for her, how in the world would you set up an institution for a freshly graduated NCE holder with no proper honing skills to run a school, starting a crèche requires some level or organizational skills which she would learn by 1st and foremost getting the required information by working despite the initial pay or renumeration.

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

You think it's easy to do labourer's work or carry cement. At least you still have a job. Why not Focus on your new skills and see if it's that easy to develop or maintain.

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

An idle mind is the devil's workshop

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.

All those also require proper facilities and planning. Don't forget children are involved

Let her combine it with home tutoring
Get a househelp to take care of your little boy

nedekid:

Be calming down. Op wants her to have something doing for now to keep her busy. It is just a starter and a stepping stone. From this job, she has entered the teaching industry, she will have what to put on her CV to apply for better offers.
Obviously, the money is not the issue for op now.

Exactly

captaininiobong:
How would you be happy over your wife earnig 20k? Are you been paid 20k? Why not allow here to go learn affiliate marketing and earn more or any available digital skill make she go learn and make *five of the money as salary.

Marketing skill is not for everyone.

9niceguy:
I am happy with you....

How I wish my elder brother wife also can think of doing something for herself. A teacher that never applied for a teaching role in any school since her graduation in year 2005 or before....

My brother is the only one doing everything at home even buying ordinary salt she can't afford.

It is well oooo.

Non of you willarry wrong person ooo

may i not marry lazy wife ijn. Your brother dey try oh. If na i go don pursue go her papa house

Thank you so much dear, that was the goal, to boast her self esteem and help her to integrate into the society more, while we were still in Abj, my wife literary knows everything about the whole tenants living in the estate, she hears lots of gossip, and that's not healthy for a wife as she gets to hear very foul conversations. Having her work to get experience and ignite her passion for kids and teaching is the goal, I don't want her getting so worked up about starting a biz for now, I believe as she starts working, what she really wants to do would become clearer, if she wants to venture into biz, I would be so glad to support her, as I have kept a savings to cater for her ventures.

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

See how you analysed her routine. What makes you think she will beg. It's only God that sustains not the salary. Some earn big and still end up borrowing while some earn little and God sustains with that little.

Like seriously,house help for just one child?

emerich:
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.

You have done well, when the time is ripe to own her own school she would have horned her skilled at that time.

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.

That shouldn't be your problem. Aporoko

Originalsly:


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.

You can't conclude how big their home is. There is a crèche and also a crèche...beds, mattresses, toys, staff, airy room, playground, government taxes and others. Who told you the husband can afford it now? Motivational speaker for nairaland.
Your comment just made me know you haven't visited a crèche before, well till then.

emerich:

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.

I like your spirit....
A bigger job will surely come

Did Op write that his wife wants to open a school? He said he wants her to stop being idle so as to keep her brain active. His joy is that his son will be in the school's crèche and will be taken care of as his mum will be a staff there.

Did you see where I said she should get a proper education? The business of caring for babies and young kids isn't a child's play .
And I said if they have the money

Tenk u, lord. I remember hw hubby got me a job ryt afta our wedding; few months afta NYSC.A well paid job at dat. He knew I hated bin idle n wudnt settle for less too.
He really surprised me.I worship him.He is my LORD
