Any woman foolish enough to marry a struggling guy will have herself to blame.

How much is emergency Caesarean section? If during labour an emergency CS is recommended and govt hospitals are on strike leaving you with no option than to go to a private clinic were they can charge you 500k and the man cant raise it nko?

You will be dodging your friends and club members wedding and occasions because you can't buy their asoebi.

Walk into a supermarket and price aptamil or sma. Except you have time to be sieving pap for your baby or you don't mind reusing napkins instead of diapers( making your baby having nappy rash)

Any human being advising you to marry a man that earn less than 700k is evil.

You will suffer

maasoap:

You are right, but not everyday. Bike having faults, rain, illness, inability to work due to other reasons. That could still make their average monthly income less than 100k.


Yes. Many civil servants have salary of 25k, 30k, 40k

pansophist:
The income threshold should not matter much if the couples are industrious, committed to the marriage, and genuinely loves and want to help each other grow. That's the true meaning behind the ´´For better for worse´¨ pledge.

For example, you can be a businessman earning 1M naira a month, and a life-changing event happened (eg war, accident, loss of revenue via govt regulations, etc). Should divorce now become the automatic consequence due to loss/reduction of funds?

The reason for marriage is not to be happy, although happiness can be a feature. Marriage is simply how two individuals come together, making themselves stronger to navigate this sad journey called life.

There will be ups and down, and if one is going to just checkout with every life's challenges, then don't get married. It's not a place for soft-life girls or irresponsible men. Its a place for two fighters teaming up as one, to become formidable.

It's laughable how you keep repeating those words thinking you are hurting me. I'm not even fat, so why should I be pained? Neither am I an evening newspaper. Even if I was one (whatever that means), isn't that better than you who hasn't realized himself on all strata? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I suppose you are a youngling going by your back and forth. Your mentions reek of so. I'll leave you be since I have other consequential things to attend to unlike you. You can keep the mentions. Have a nice one, CRANKY.

dauntless15:
I am a youngling yes, I have time on my side, you what have you done with yours, old pig, just gallivanting all around and looking for short fame and getting stupider, if there's a word like that, I won't help you on you attention seeking obsession, I no know wetin send me come nairaland, now this old pig won't leave me alone.

chymdyx:


sir.. i wish you'd expand more on this. This is very deep. The reason for marriage is not happiness. so true.. yet enigmatic. pls expand a bit more.

UyaiIncomparabl:


Lol. You went to search my picture to post on NL for what na?

At least, I'm not ugly.

Anyways, amidst the fun, you have breached the privacy here, so I'll call to have you banned. You should have done something better than this. You thought you could provoke me, but I'm so chilled and enjoying the ride.

dauntless15:
yea chilled, so chilled you won't let me be, you're ugly and fat, with your jumbled leg.

UyaiIncomparabl:


LMAO. Can we see what you look like and leave my jumbled my legs alone?

If this isn't frustration and bitterness, what else could it be?

dauntless15:
yes it's on my profile, one piglet like that

UyaiIncomparabl:


LOL. Yeah, right. You are the joker here. What else have you got? 😩

dauntless15:
Whatever it is IDC lemme alone.

Fmghewzy:



I guess both of us don't have then 🤣🤣

Leave you alone? No way. You started this. Let's end it.

I'm giving you time pending when you'll be banned. So, let's have fun for the time being.

olamilarks:
All I see on this post is:
Government failure to provide some welfare (Child support+Healthcare).

The husband man's failure to plan for an upcoming event (heck he had 9months to plan for all contingencies)

Societal pressures (Aso Ebi and owambe wahalas of a show offy Nation)

Heck, if I had the time I'd rather blend peanut butter and other farm fresh meals for my baby than expose them to the hazards of mass produced factory made foods (Look up Good Food, John McKenna) Obesity is an unafrican thing but Naija kids fed on those store bought diets have this near obese look, drive thru affluent neighbourhoods and look at the BMI of their kids.


And a majority of us don't earn 700k per month and we manage to raise our families on our meagre paychecks with bits of black taxes here and there!

I don press "submit" before I remember say here Na nairaland not Reddit and I'll be dragged like Tiger gen wire, but it's all good.

For the house rent part, it's strictly dependent on lactation. In Kaduna for instance, you can get a decent two bedroom flat for 200-250k annually. Infact mine is 150k/year. Guess I'm just lucky.

UyaiIncomparabl:


And what's with the gra-gra? Is marriage a war zone? Marriage is meant to be enjoyed. Two fighters indeed.

And what do you mean by soft-life girls? What are the responsibilities of a woman in marriage again or am I missing something?

Rinoxy:

You better learn to live within your means from this your early stage o!

lilvicky68:
100k per month for a family of 3, that means nothing like outing, buying of clothes go be once In a while, cheaps schools or schooling only 3rd term, drinking garri at least 5 times a week, no helping of family members, cheap accomodations with rent at most 150k yearly, minding your business always make you no enter problem wey go make you spend, no drinking of beer and peppersoup, you fit manage sachet action bitter or Chelsea, no buying of drugs/Medicine, na agbo una go dey drink steady.

Unless you are already married, no single man should marry with 100k salary without a supportive wife unless you want stress to finish you.

Rinoxy:

Oga, not many pls. Don't argue, just accept it.
