Shut up abeg. Most successful men didn't just have sex before marriage, they also have sex outside of their respective marriages. Make Una stop this black man black lies abeg
You will not hear now,be looking up to ritualists and yahoo boys to counter the wise saying of an old man.Well,it all depends if you want to make clean money or fraudulent money, if it's the later you opt for, then be rest assured that what that old man said will catch you kpa kpa.

In reference to the reset key, a woman could choose not to start an argument with you just when you’re about to go prepare for your presentation, and she could choose to remind you in your weak moment that you have a presentation the next day and should maybe finish that first before sex to avoid getting exhausted.

At the bolded, what I meant was clear, she lives with you everyday which means that you’ll have to consider her in the choices that you make, which could be positive or negative depending on the outcome. For instance, if you get a job that needs some travel but with opportunities for rapid growth, if your wife says no because she’s insecure or doesn’t want you to be traveling for work, that may influence your decision to take up the job or not
Not everyone works in a cooperate environment. This doesn't even apply to people who are traders and business men. People who are their own boss. Most men don't even confide in their wives about their finances.

Yes that’s why I mentioned in my original post that it was a simple example. But even as your own boss, if you have a presentation to make to a big customer for a contract, that could also apply. On the eve of the presentation, the situation could play itself. Again, that was just a simple example

Today one Elderly Man that's in late 80s came to my shop in the morning to patronize me . He was happy with me he bought a bottle of Hot drink and I offered a small bottle of dry Gin in appreciation and a New year gift.
He uttered some words of prayer for me , lastly he told me I'll be great in my business that I will grow in heights . He advised me to be very careful in choosing a girl to marry that I shouldn't pregnant a girl before going to see the parents and pay for bride price that I shouldn't even have sex with her , that a woman I marry will determine if I'll be more successful or encounter challenges in Life . I just dey reason the talk since morning.

This is spiritual I'm From Igbo and I strongly believe in Tradition this got to do with tradition think deep.

What do you guys think about it
Bro... what the man said would have been the fact if it was in the 80s and 90s. But considering the kind of gals we see today, guy, I no sure majority even hey womb again sef.

Others we get din use "Postnor 2" damage the thing soteee it becomes too fragile to carry a baby. That warrants complications during birth, and complications means more expenses on your head.

Igbos use to say, "when the drummer changed the tone of the music, the dancers change their pattern." Our gals don wide, as guy, u gaz be smart or pay darely for it.

What of people that have never had any presentation to make to any body. I buy and sell. Men with shorts just ordering and selling . If you like buy.. e no concern them they already have existing suppliers .


How will that work ? I understand that a wife can affect one's peace or state of mind. Yes, I know. As a matter of fact , most of the men who cheat on their wives are successful one's. Men will just find a way

I have seen people who did all that the old man told you not to do yet are having wonderful marriages till date.
I have also seen people who did all that the old man told you to do and are divorced now or their marriages are having problems.

Moral of the story is; not every principles works for everyone.

Before you strongly start believing in it….to test your hypothesis, call the same old man tomorrow and rain curses him.

Then seat back and listen to his prophetic blessings on your life.

- be careful about the woman you marry and even anybody you plan to share your life with is 100% correct.

- if you get a girl pregnant before marriage, then you have limited your choices. And even if you later discover her witchcraft side, you are connected to her and cannot do a clean exit.

- the woman you marry will definitely influence your outcomes. If she is cooperative then you are very likely to excel at your dreams.
If she is the regular uncooperative, misinformed witch, then you are stuck with a devil and your life becomes a perpetual civil war.

- most importantly, you are gaining the wisdom of an older man without having to learn from your own mistake.

- if you can, avoid premarital sex and you will avoid the complications it will bring to your life. This wisdom nugget applies to both male and female.

My brother, this man gave you mighty wisdom treasures for a little bottle of whiskey. Wisdom is not cheap and there's nothing outdated about it.

I know one Igbo man in my area. He was into this provision business with big shop. Then he got entangled with one girl and they later marry. Since the marriage, the man's business started depreciating. The last time I saw him, he has closed the shop and he is now doing roadside vulcanizer.

I don't know if his predicament have anything to do with his wife.

Looking at human psychology people say things to make you feel great....

You are more likely to be praised when you offer someone a gift so don't be decieved by mere words.. undecided

He is speaking from a traditional and moral angle which anyone can say..don't take his words..
Be yourself and do what you want cos only you know what you want for yourself.. wink

look.. nothing spiritual about this . It is because you live in Nigeria which is why you are blind to see and believe what an elder says. This is my philosophy of life. You can't be broke and lazy. If you are broke, do the legal and figure out the knowledge.

Your success in life is not tied upon a woman even though you are meant to use your head. Do the right thing; hustle, date ,marry and have a family.
