My brother I couldn’t believe I’ve spent 100k in just two months. Money for this, money for that. It’s really crazy out there! Sometimes I think about that too, is it not better to be single and have peace of mind?

How is marriage more than responsibilities? Go broke and watch how your wife disrespect you and call you all kind of names. Then you will know marriage is not more than responsibilities.
Don't mind the kid! grin

Of course marriage is an achievement, when you prepare and plan you'll have the desired result. Although is not easy. How is it an achievement to start with? Go broke let see if your marriage is still going to be the same.

u supposed write small book on marriage
mehn I see all these happening to my brothers and men around me.


Funnily enough I’m not married, even though THEY DON’T FORCE ME, I know how much I spend weekly on my parents and family , got to stage where I felt like relocating and changing my number but I realize that it’s an opportunity for me to prepare myself for the incoming bazooka grin( prospective family) and somehow somehow , I kinda feel happy when I know people smile as a result of my support and sacrifice.

I doff my hat for responsible married men.

1. Mother and father did it back in the 1980s in that same Nigeria. That it isn't the popular choice among many a Nigerian men who would rather beat their chest as head of the house while slowly dying young in poverty doesn't mean it is not possible in Nigeria. undecided

2. I don't think. I know there are women who do just that in that same Nigeria. undecided

3. Your problem has absolutely nothing to do with marriage so your complaint is unfounded. undecided
You are making a point, but your replies are high handed and therefore off-putting. It would take the unlearned mind to read almost the entirety of your quotes to be able to even remotely start grasping the concept you are trying to share. There are cultural hindrances to adopting the practice you are trying to espouse; yet you sit on a high horse and talk at the young man and indeed everyone who cares to read you.

That, Kobojunkie, is not a good way to teach a lesson in a public forum. You might argue, as I expect you will, but I just told you the truth.

And the irony of it is that when the kids grow up, they will eventually love their mother more than you. Not minding your struggles to provide for all their needs and keep them alive when coming of age.
This is the sad truth!
Look around the society, kids hardly care for fathers. At times this concept of marriage for men is not worth it. But trying to go against the society is always hard, u just have to conform for fear of the unknown & get married.

I’m equally scared just as you . As a single young man, anytime I spend , I always think of how to replenish.. sometime I’ll calculate and calculate and calculate before I spend on myself even though “ I have enough in my acc”. Fear of going broke, fear of inability to cater for my present and prospective family , fear of not meeting up with the standard the society sets for a man, fear of marrying the Wolf in sheep skin , all these things fear me pass death

The women know exactly what they are doing. Marriage is a negotiated agreement...she negotiated lifetime provision and lured you with romance. Lifetime provision by a man to a woman is an unfair arrangement in this day and age and she knows it. She is just exploiting you financially and she knows it. Reject exploitation and demand she make her own moni and use her own money on herself.
This is a better way to explain a concept in lay terms without the superiority complex. Kudos to you mate.

That is the exact phrase that she always use to nag her husband

Please don't mind her
with no responsibilities, to be successful as a single guy from average background is super extremely hard.

When I say successful, I mean all around success and being financially stable not to talk of married men with loads of responsibilities and expectations.

1. Who are the "they" that have plenty of money?. undecided

2. You are still lying to yourself! You don't want to accept that the reason your marriage is the way it seems to you has primarily to do with the fact that you chose to strangle yourself with the rope called hypogamy, simple. undecided

3. That maybe the picture for your marriage and this primarily because of choices you made in yours but it isn't the case for every marriage out there. undecided
Alaye rest!

Yea exactly, it is hard especially in this Nigeria
It depends

There are families that the men (breadwinner) have been on a 40k salary for a long time uptil now with more than one wife and children that are now grown ups. And they are still standing on their feet.

Okay what about those residing in the countryside, that paper money hardly enters their pocket? grin

Marriage is how men become gods. If your wife is not beautiful, I can imagine it will be like living in inescapable bondage, but if you waited, got the financials figured out then pick a beautiful cherry, then you'd be proud of beautiful human beings around you.

Marriage is not for everyone, if you don't figure out the financials, please stay off marriage. Marriage no be your mate. Get a baby mama
Please how does a baby mama make things easier? We're talking about financials. Be kind to enlighten me.

My chairman, i sense from what you saying. The marriage is not the problem but perhaps the lack of suuport, morally, financial and trust from your other half. Two hands is better than one..
Our spouse/other half also need to support and assist one another and not leave all responsibilities to the men. This whole religious doctrine about gender role is not applicable to modern challenges. Jesus, virgin mary and mohammed never had a formal education..
Training and providing education for children and living in a comfortable house costs a lot of financial burden..
The challenges are modern and it requires joint working or else marriage becomes a burden.. Men need support. My bro, keep doing your best and ensure you protect your mental strength.
It is well.. We grow together when we all support each other husband, wife, sidechicks and side cock.
Wish I could like this a billion times

I didn’t say that’s the whole amount I’m spending o. That’s just one of many. How much are you making in a month?
don't mind them, how much is the minimum wage in this country and they thought all those statistics about Nigeria been one of the poorest country in the world naa joke. everybody in this country loves forming Millionaires. You have money self married women still dey f around, if you no come have money nkó, that one naa die because disrespecting will now join.

Oga op, if you do not spend and you die, what happens to your money? Of course na people go spend am. Grow up and contribute to humanity

I thank God almighty that I married a wife who is not of the school of thought to become a liability. We contribute immensely together without rules. Do not marry a wife who sees marriage as a way out of poverty, a wife with the mentality that it is your responsibility to do all. God gave you both the responsibility hence she was called and help meet. That help meet is not an option but a must just as the husband also oversees the affairs.

As an individual there is no limit to been relevant. Be good unto each other as unto the Lord bearing it all.

Some men are also killing themselves because they lack understanding. They want to show "I am the man of the house". Carry man of the house go collect money for bank.

Guy, we men have to be honest with yourselves. Speaking from experience never marry your other half if she or he is not self sufficient.. Being a religious person or weak gender should not be the only deciding factor in sustaining a marriage.
As a man, you will loose your job, income or become incapable due to illness or temporary loss of employment. You need a spouse that can help, stay calm and provide an anchor or support during this testing period.
Unfortunately, most of our modern women are not programme or willing to provide for their spouse when things get tough.
Kudos to those that do. I know plenty women that are secured and have provided for their family without degrading the man. She understand and believes the man will bounce back. Loyalty from a woman is paramount...
For the few that disrespect or walk away from their relationship.. It creates mistrust, betrayal and feelings of exploitation...
They are good women. Choose carefully a partner that can work and collaborate with you.
Marriage or relationship should not be a poverty elevation programme..

Only 100k in 2 months? As a single guy rolling with boys, you can spend that and more just hanging out in 2 different bars on the same night. And not on a weekend when we go clubbing.

And who told you it’s normal to have kids without getting married, which religion permits that? You won’t be young forever,and since you started early believe me you’ll be glad you did at the later stage of your life. Just endure the current situation of the country and be hopeful that it won’t last forever. I understand the angle you are coming from.
na so una go carry religion for head dey suffer up and down. White pple self wey introduce the religion no dey practice am d way we do here.

So ooo. All those pple wey born out of wedlock no be pikin Dem born? Even bible said kids are gift from God. No be God give Dem d kid's out of wedlock?? I beg oo make una let religion rest oo.

Your 400k is someone's 40k
The way u feel spending 400k, is the same way another person will feel spending 40k & that doesn't mean they are not trying their best.
It is not about the amount, but earning capacity!
