school fees for two children in secondary School pass 1 mill? Cut your coat according to your clothes. There are far cheaper quality school, that will give you value for money than the exorbitant ones.


Bro shoe get size
What of the ones that pay 2-3 mill a term.

Forget the quality of education gotten can't be compared to cheaper ones

Still parents are paying them

Prayer na make God steady bless hustle so these kinds of expenses are easily met.

We never talk summer holidays oo
Taking 4 children with there mum for summer vacation to the UK, or US or Dubai how much alone you think there air ticket alone go cost? Still men dey run am for this street

Just pray Baba God to double your hustle

To be a man no be a days job

Marriage is more than responsibilities...


Marriage is far from how you view and understand it.

Responsibilities is just a task. Marriage is a command from God.


I didn't understand marriage untill I planted a tomato at the backyard and I was always going every morning to observe and check for changes an watering it.

My friend thought it was all about watering it. But in real sense, it used to bring joy to me seeing that I was able to grow something and it was wonderful...

Need I say that I was stocking alot of it on the fridge and dashed some out? Later I also included pepper to the family and with eggs at home, I was always sure of a good breakfast....

The beautiful seeds the produced.



Like I said earlier....

Marriage isn't a responsibility.... If you're poor and stingy, you'll always have this mentality.

If you're not, you will enjoy its beauty!

Tell them ooo. If you don't have responsibilities in your life, what would you do with your life

God bless you . This shows that you’re a responsible man
Not all men are lucky to have women that ‘support’ financially, even if she does, you should not rely on that 100% .
Hmm. . But ehn 100k in two months as a married man is very fair o.


It’s far more easier to save as a single man.

How? When you’re single, you only spend what you want , you can ignore billings you’re not comfortable with , no one can compel u except you’re generous or a simp. infact you can decide to be extremely thrifty , and it’s more easier to adjust and adapt to any situation. You can decide to suspend morning and afternoon food, you can decide not to sub to cable, you can decide to even sleep if you have little change in your account. It’s easier to take risk and you’re open to different opportunities.

But when you’re married, it’s impossible to do all that. No matter how wicked you are , you can’t watch your own wife and kids go hungry , 90% of time , you’ll have to consider your family before taking any decisions.
Except you’re financial buoyant , you can’t just buy any cloths, shoes, for yourself. You can’t go to expensive restaurant without thinking about what to give your family the next day .


If you have money in your acct, you’ll still be scared , 70% of time you’ll be experiencing heart palpitations, you’ll not want them to lack.

Technically as a man, when you marry, you’ve given up your freedom and comfort for others.









That’s why , a man needs to be smart and ‘prayerful’ while choosing life partner , not all women worth these sacrifices.
I love your last statement sir. I married an ungrateful and insubordinate lady. The only joyful thing is our 4 months old boy. Regardless of how it goes the boy will always remain my priority.

Tell me what’s more again than responsibilities?

Companionship is ultimate. The fact that you have someone to talk to about whatever your thoughts or issues are without been judged gives you a perfect peace of mind that money can't buy.

The financial responsibilities you are complaining about is tied to how your finances are managed as a couple.

Yes, definitely. I'm definitely not comparing him or his spending pattern with anyone... But really, 100k in 2 months is 50k in one month.

50k will never be too much for a married anywhere in the current day Nigeria. Okada men spend more. The key word there is "current day Nigeria." By the time you buy cooking gas, pay bills (electricity, waste, security, and data), you're already going over 30k in one month so I'm wondering how he feeds his family.
as in comparing my spending patterns to his, i can say i am actually doing good as a bachelor. Spend a minimum of 2.5k daily only for feeding excluding data and clothing. I am even considering marriage these days. Do you think the expenses for feeding will reduce when one gets married?

So how’s marriage more than just responsibilities when your family can’t even afford the basic necessity of life? Without money your marriage is dead on arrival. It won’t even make sense anymore and not having an understanding woman is even worse. You are own your own my brother. It sucks!
Are you married?
Re: Marriage Is Just all About Responsibility, Nothing Special. by Elsueno: 6:01am On Mar 27, 2023
The issue with lots of marriage in Nigeria is they like manufacture plenty children...and children are extremely expensive to take care of....if U no get enough money, just manage 1 or two kids, at least eating balance diet between the four of u won't be much of an issue...

Please as a man, if possible never allow urself to cross 40 without getting married, after that age its really beneath U to be chasing nacking up & down...,,😄

What's your advice for the unlucky brothers who marry wrong fits? You know how these things can be. Majority of married men are having it rough.

There is never an advice for couples who got entangled with the wrong partners ....

If there was, our grandparents would've told us the solution from their generation that bred wise men

But men should look within and try to engage their wives with something to do.... But she must be business oriented or have experience on entrepreneurship or love for it.

That way, she will likely contribute to the family while lifting some responsibilities off the man!

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

I'm made to tell you, you don't know what you are saying. If you remove responsibility from marriage nothing remains... absolutely nothing!

There are men married to women who aren't responsible but still enjoys his family.

Responsibilities are a part of growing a family, but there are many other things to it.
Do you know what it means to be called a father?

You might not understand this because you have weighed yourself with too much responsibilities... And trying to meet up with the standards that you've set for yourself or the one your wife have set for the family.

It means you are thinking and talking only on the money or financial implications.
You forget the companionship, the love, the cooperation, the help you get in house chores, meals and other aspects.
You forget the support and also the level of respect society accords you as a married man.

My dear, there is more to marriage not just money implications.

Please enjoy your marriage. It's a beautiful experience even though there are bumpy roads sometimes.

God bless you and your Wife.
Amen.

You live in fantansy land, for a place like Nigeria I can say I have resided here long enough to conclude marriage definition here is all about bills. The populace is significantly poor due to terrible minimum wage and bad welfare, which is no existence. Couple that with poor infrastructure and security, marriage can only be equated to more like financial transaction. I have helped lots of couples who are friends with my wife and I have seen many marriages always on the verge due to lack of financial stability. So author the thread is absolutely correct.

Like I said, responsibilities is a fraction of what makes up marriage.

You might not even understand what billing is untill you settle in the US with a white woman. You will work all your life to pay bills and also contribute in half of all the stress she's going through to make you children.

But in Nigeria, as a man, if you engage your wife, she will help you whole heartedly... And if you plan your family with a reasonable wife, she will manage your home for you.

Let's say, you can never talk about marriage without talking about a woman.... Then you also understand that you will enjoy sex and cuddling and kissing.... And if she's beautiful, you will show her off to your friends and family.... If she's smart and intelligent, she will help your kids with school assignments....

I've met women that will go broke with you and ensure that things work out.

Not all women stand up to abuse men... Some also go out to cut on the house expenses to bring back a balance.

If you go and marry a woman that never loved you had made it clear she wasn't going to suffer and you tmdidnt know what it means ..then that is far from the discussion.

Just saw now,that you replied me with the bolded. Oga motivational speaker, tomatoes and pepper is different from marriage ,weda your papa poor or stingy.Haven't you seen marriages of some super rich personalities having issues too? Assuming we want to look at it from the angle you are taking it to? Marriage drains the male folks literally, if you don't know guy..

If na only 100k you spent in 2 months then your expenditure isn't high.

Bro I blow like over 200k every month as a family man. It's a huge responsibility and I am glad shouldering it by God's grace.


I think what we married men need to is to support our wives to start a business or get a job so that they too can contribute. After all the Bible calls a man's wife a help mate. Abi no be so?
No he wants to be the headmaster, team I don't want my wife to work I can shoulder all bills , doesn't even sound like some one that earns up to 200k a month .been a married man no be by dickson undecided

Well I'm not against it, if you earn two million in a month I don't think that's too much to pay 1 million per term but imagine someone who earns 400-500k sending his kids to school that costs 700k/term. Although I'm not yet married, paper qualifications are gradually becoming useless. For me summer holidays will be the right time to enroll my kids into Tech schools for the young ones or any other training geared towards learning soft skills.

Expenses for feeding will not reduce in marriage whether or not you're married to a good homely wife that loves to cook. But I'm confident you'll be okay in the end as long as your income, expenditures, and savings are in line.

Things to avoid: the need to impress, wastefulness, and pressure.
