Take care of your wife and have just 1 or 2 kids that you can cater for without stress. Simple!!
Be calming down young girl.
Life happens and people are consume in it. That is why there is a local parlance in this nation where they say,may Nigeria not happen to u.

When u grow up,u will see why we are called men.

Is so bad that has a married man you can't even buy yourself new wears.

Throughout last year I couldn't get myself a new set of jeans trouser even tho I needed it badly despite having the money.
All the money I made last year 90% when into paying bills and household expenses.
It so crazy how you has a man you will have over 200k in your acc and you be scared to even buy yourself something of 10k cos of fear of the unknown.
In all of this my wife and kids still has many clothes they haven't worn I paid for you.

Last weekend my wife bought herself over 10 new shirt and when I saw it I reminded her how I couldn't even buy myself new jean....she told me nah me no wan buy nah.
It really hurt me cos whatever money I make the family expenses come first before my own personal needs but it isn't same for women.

I just feel marriage is design for men to suffer honestly.
People just taking from you and no one really care about what you need.
Honest truth.
I only sew two clothes last year,na my wife buy me the rest.

Family wahala no be any body mate.

You sound unconscious. Or, may be you are not in touch with the reality that is currently on ground in Nigeria.

Many men who can luxuriously take care of their family just in 2019 (right here) are currently struggling to provide the basic needs.

With all sense of responsibility, we must all accept that the economy disaster that befell Nigeria (and keep rising cost of living exponentially) from 2021 till date, was unpredictable!

The amount you bring home in 2019, and your family feed fat on, is no more enough to to provide necessity now, even when tripled. Even couples that started in 2019 and later, and with 1 or no kids yet are making major adjustments to cope. In short, the 1 or 2 kids you can cater for without stress in 2019, will stress you badly now (even when your income has triple).

“I grew up in a poor country, and I watched my relatively wealthy family become poorer and poorer and poorer despite working harder as their money disappeared with inflation,” Ms Kemi Badenoch said.

Please don't blame the man, he is a fellow victim of a badly governed country.

It was worse in 2015/6 when Buhari came to power. Nigerians were moving to Benin Republic to hustle as the country's economy worsened. That period marked the first social media japa frenzy. People left Nigeria to work elsewhere because Buhari rubbished the economy. They were alive then, so no excuses.
That is also not completely true. The exit from Nigeria immediately after PMBs election in 2015 is no mostly based on the prevailing economy of the nation at that time. Most people left based on believes that PMB is a dangerous man for the job at that time, and may among other speculations, hand the country over to jihadist. Yes! the trend of the economic decline continued under Buhari first tenure in 2015 - 19, but the rate or magnitude of decline can NOT be compared to the unprecedented disaster from 2021 till date.

Infact, the two basic metrics to averagly measure economic status and cost of living in Nigeria are 1. Exchange rate 2. Price of petrol. From 2015 to 2019, exchange (parallel market) moved from 250 to 400 (60% increase, bad!). Price of petrol moved from 87 to 165 (89.7% increas, bad!). From 2021, exchange have moved from 450 to 1700 (277% increase, unbelievable!) and petrol from 200 to 1000 (400% increase, unreal!!!). No one was able to predict this massive rise in the cost of living within such a short time, it is a hard hit on salary earners and some smes (most of whom completely lost their means of income).

That statement alone from your wife is enough to make you think twice about your self. This year, I have decided to be a little more selfish in taking care of my personal needs and make myself happy. If I die today, life continues.
Re: Married Men Take Care Of Yourselves, Don't Die Young Trying To Please Anyone. by Acidosis(m): 11:45am On Jan 18, 2025
The thread reads as if you are blaming his wife and four children for his death... It doesn't make sense to advise a married man with four children to prioritise his own interests above all others, including the kids no one begged him to raise.

It is better to warn men against having children or even marrying.

At the end of the day, most of us will die for our personal interests. He wanted a certain lifestyle and standard of living and he went for it. It has nothing to do with his children. Many kids born in slums turn out fine. Na you want standard, and it's totally fine to die for what you believe in.
Re: Married Men Take Care Of Yourselves, Don't Die Young Trying To Please Anyone. by HighChiefZino:
After having two beautiful kids, I had to practically convince my wife, and we decided on five years of contraceptive family planning. My mother, siblings, and even my wife continue to pressure me for more children. I told my wife that once we've accomplished everything we planned for ourselves, maybe we can reconsider. But if I ever hear 'baby' or 'I'm pregnant,' my one kobo will not go towards child support—and that ended the conversation.
Men need to know what they want and stand their ground. If something goes wrong and you can't provide for your family, you’ll still be blamed.
Don't take on more than you can handle. I provide for my family’s needs to the best of my ability, but I believe that sometimes, especially after work or on weekends, taking a break with one or two is essential for me and it's non-negotiable.

I remembered telling my wife we must be selfish enough to stay alive for the kids and ourselves. I have learned not to put myself under any pressure whatsoever.

Na men dey like to suffer.

When u are in your 20's start early and awake ur investment mindset.

If u can do this early enough,at your 40's ur passive income should be enough to take care of your family expenses while u continue to grind with life.

I learnt this technique at an early age...not from my father but from someone whom I lived with years back.

Example is. If u have 30million,invest it for one year,use the proceed to settle all family expenses for one year,after that u can rest and be happy. Not all the time,waiting for salaries that isn't enough.

May his soul rest in peace and may this serve as a lesson for all our able young men especially our teenagers.
this your analysis is flawed

Many Nigerian men graduate from school late 20's, they serve n start hustle early 30's. If u didn't do fraud or from rich family it is 30's that u will try to b stable which it's not everyone that gets lucky to b stable in their 30's.

N besides where will d 30 million come from cos u present it as if there's a place people can collect 30 million

The man is a fool for having 4 kids and men can control child birth. What happened to getting a vasectomy after having the first kid. Nigeria is only going to get harder. 2 kids is even a lot for an average Nigerian. There has never been a time the economy of Nigeria has been good enough for the average person to adequately provide for 4 kids.
I don't agree with u.

I think you should really have a deep conversation with wifey. Let me not conclude yet that she’s self centered/ selfish.

She buying over 10 new shirts for herself , but couldn’t even get you her hubby any even if it’s just one, says a lot about her person.

Just like you rightly said, men should take good care of themselves. No need to do too much, do the best you can and leave the rest. Shikena

My brother, if you are no longer there those family needs will be met somehow. That's even when your wife will begin to shine. My elder brother is an example. He hustled till the end even when he was ill. Now his two children got into the university same time last year. Did they not survive? My brother, go out today and close your eyes buy that pair of jeans and a good t-shirt plus good leather slippers. On your way back home branch at a buka and eat good food. If you see fine babe wey get better job sef wey no go dey bill you or one young woman wey never too open eye, brother enjoy yourself o.

I sent money to my wife twice yesterday this morning she is asking for money for something again. Person wey even get money pass me o.

The analysis is not for everyone just like someone have phobia for marriage so is in making money.

The advice I gave is not for everyone...but for those in their early age.

And for those who may find the analysis to be flawed,the figure is just a tentative one and u can as well choose ur future rightly.

Note: it is not for everyone. It is a theory that has worked for me and already.
