You better run from this useless country.
Re: Should I Get Married To Her Now? by olakan22: 5:32am On Apr 12, 2023
Apparently, your heart is not in this relationship. What happened to discussing your plans with her? You both can plan your relocation sontin together. If she is any good as you have insinuated she would gladly support a frugal wedding and you won't have to chew too much into your savings.

Good day familylanders, i consider this part of nairaland as a place with lots of reasonable and mature people so i would like to table my matter here.

Am a 27yr old guy and I have been dating this girl of mine for the past 3years now, she's 24yrs and we have been good, she works in a corporate organization and i also hustle for my daily bread too. I have been able to save a good amount of money, though i don't have tertiary education but have got a very sound mind.

Recently she brought up the issue of marriage and asked me when i intend to come and do the needful, i have met her mom and siblings on a few occasions and the vibes i got from them looks positive. I know she loves me and i also share the same affections for her.

The issue is i don't know if i should relocate abroad with the funds at my disposal because of the situation of this country or remain in naija and proceed with marriage with her.

Questions from a sound mind.
ADDITIONAL: remember that the abroad option is 50/50 possibility



MrBrownJay1:
ask yourself these simple questions:
- whats more important in your life today?
- whats happiness/satisfaction for you?
- where do you see yourself in 5yrs?
- cant you marry someone without spending your saved money (why do you think that you cannot keep saving while being married, AND MAKE ABROAD PLANS WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY)?
Re: Should I Get Married To Her Now? by dkenny4lyf(m): 6:43am On Apr 12, 2023
You may probably not get to see this ...

But if you see, don't ignore and learn .

In conscise,

1.) No need to go abroad, get things sorted out here and continue with your life.
2.) Reason along with your wife-to-be and get things sort out and prepare for next phase of life-

Keywords:

* Things
* Sort
*Sorted

WHAT TO AVOID:
1. Avoid too many advice, cos they often mislead

NOTE:
1. It's very wise to learn from mistakes of other inorder to retrace any erring steps of ours ...

EXPLANATION/DETAILS:

1. Abroad is a prepared level ground for certified fellow and non but former is advantaged more than latter,

Knowledge basically are of 3 types,
a. Education,
b. skill acquisition,
c. Bussiness.

In the above 3 categories, FULLY ENJOYED LIFE CAN BE EARNED ( Human is by default fit to all these categories with varied mind to perpetuate life orderliness) ....
You are doing well in life, I advise you to stay and make a living here..

" An African man on an American soil is a confused man" (dr damager)...
Life is up and down.....

Up of life - is often looked into,
Down of life -is always ignored.

But mind you, we are completed with both.

UP of life:
Self love;
You are young now, establish yourself to have passive income ..(bussiness, paying skills).

We all see today but oblivious of tomorrow.

Couple love;
Don't be mean , talk with her, iron things out and set things in motion.

DOWN of life:
Though unexpected, but it really comes....
we only need to plan ahead and be proactive to lessen the impact ....

It comes in financial challenge form, health form, bussiness form, relationship/relative inclined form etc..

We all ask for strength and it comes in form of challenges...

Overcoming these required a nurtured, doctored and stable soul with knowledge based( ethics and morals) and spiritual undertone ....

There are more to life, the higher you know(life lesson) the better you become.....


Am mrkenny,

Marriage will suck you dry in naija. So, relocate. Work hard and make more money then come back and marry her.

Make sure you do your research on which country to go to so you don't go and get stranded over there.
Sha don't go UK
Re: Should I Get Married To Her Now? by Rochasstatue(f): 8:45am On Apr 12, 2023
Stay here and settle down.
Do a low-key wedding runs.
Use your remaining money to fund your hustling.
What are you going to do abroad?
What is the guarantee you will amass wealth abroad?
Settle down and plan to have your fist child a year or two after wedding so that your finances won't deplete.
Remain prudent.
Spend wisely.
Avoid bad influence.
Avoid obidients.

You will be fine.

They are telling u to relocate abroad and they are in Nigeria making money.

U had better not listen to them oh.

See,before u marry that lady,discuss her role in the marriage,your role and most importantly,your individual financial responsibilities.

How many children u want to have,investments,extended families and many more I may not fathom here.

Marriage and wedding aren't the same,it is in the definition u will understand me better.

Don't rush into it but ask yourself if u can muster all the financial implications that comes with it.


Wish u all the best.
@OP the best advice you could ever get

My brother , talk to her about your traveling plans and if she sounded positive, plan it together

If she sounded otherwise, plan it alone and go for greener pasture first. You are still young to be tied down in marriage
Re: Should I Get Married To Her Now? by okoloto: 9:33am On Apr 12, 2023
Bro, this is the best advise you can get here.

Odin13:
Relocate with the funds you have bro.. dollar is going up and won’t stop..
No job guarantee in Nigeria .. especially for hustlers .. maybe except you’re managing yours and know too well the secret of that business..

Love is an illusion.. is never real.. it always fade with time .. beside she’s still young.. make she gather experience of life .. while faithfully waiting for you..
give your self a year or two and build develop yourself outside the shores .. learn new things and stabilize..

If she’s still available.. you can make the commitment..if she’s not .. you’re a lucky being.

Is yourself first.. self first… stable family.. then you can add another family .. before your “ own” family.. I mean kids ..

Good luck

You can do small no noise intro on head; please be meticulous in your spending in such a way that the way funds would be enough for you to Japa. Don't make the mistake of impregnating during your travelling process unless you're sure that your travelling documents have successfully dropped - e geh why.

Re: Should I Get Married To Her Now? by Montaque(m): 9:54am On Apr 12, 2023
I had a friend who was in your situation just last year. I advised him several times but he did what was best for him. He is in the UK now and he is regretting his decision of letting his girl go. Abroad is a lonely place, and if you are planning of going to the UK, you need your relationship. Don't leave your girl, tell her your plans and plan together. Infact, the money you think you will spend to get married here may not happen that way, if you are with a wise girl. Registry wedding will not cost you more than 50k and you are done. Traditional marriage can also be done in a simple way, just explain to your inlaws. At the end, you still have your money, a wife and the abroad plans still in full gear. You can go and bring her over or you both go together. You can always go abroad today and in future. But you may never find another good woman (assuming she is all that).

How do you intend to relocate abroad since you don't have tertiary education? Most people that relocate go through the study route

Tonalphs:
undecided those people saying relocate seem not to watch the news. I think soonest Africa will be the safest place to have a family and train kids with this transgender and LGBTQ stuffs the world is consuming.
I will advise you to invest online rather than travel. Shey the other day one guy want to run back to naija just three months after he japa, na still una tell am to come back home or be a man. Imo, you can make it anywhere.
pls How can one invest online ?

At 27 , you're still a young man, and your future is ahead of you, intensify what you got going on financially, get your life and plans in order. As for your little lady, make her wait in an understandable manner, that is if you're not out here looking for an inspiration to break her heart. Love without the essential resources of life fades overtime. Goodluck.

Discuss with her and do both.
If she's working you said, she's got cash somewhere saved.
Don't do a lavished budget wedding. Do something within your means and plan to leave with her after the wedding.

I have never said anywhere that I want to japa, you can go and check all my posts on Nairaland from 2011 to 2023.

You on the other hand has gone into a state of depression simply because the UK banned students from migrating with dependents; you can't even vex and go on your own for further studies because ordinary Bsc certificate you don't have! grin
