The advice is good for the men, not the women cos no matter how much they make they will never spend it on a man.They still expect a man to look after them like orphans.

This isn't about marriage being bad for young girls but the fact that the majority of said young girls are from a poverty background at this point in history and should not have any business with raising children of their own until after they have conquered the poverty issue first. Either that or risk cursing their family and children with poverty for generations to come. undecided
You derailing the topic. I think she was referring to every woman rich background or not. Its was not about poverty. But a consciousness to work non the less before entering marriage. I think its important but not utmost. Even in the west working women is what men dont need, rather a stay at home wife that will be faithful and dedicated to raising the children. Both patents working is not always a gain.

A woman who doesn’t marry or start bearing children in her 20s has reduced her chances by almost 50% in her 30s and almost 70% in her 40s.

A young lady who identifies as a Christian woman has advised her fellow women to make enough money and desist from getting married in their 20s

In the video she posted, Faithful Femininity advised Christian women to stay away from early marriage especially when they can’t cater for themselves.

The young lady advised Christian women in their 20s to desist from getting married when they make enough money.

Her words: “As a Christian woman, I have decided that my 20s are not for marriage. My 20s are to make money. Christian women stop entering into marriage so early.”

”Go and make money. You don’t have a dime in your account. God and find a way to make money. In 20s, in your 30s, go and make money. Stop following men around. Some of you are doing Hallelujah Challenge and wearing bridal gowns.


“Have you made money? Like, I will not enter a marriage without money. And I’m talking about multiple sources of steady income. I’m not that kind of Christian woman that will enter her husband’s house with nothing in her account. God forbid. My 20s now na to work hard. My 20s is to make wealth.”
I'm a bit amused by the innuendoes here.

I’ve advised you before to do proper research before making baseless claims. Did you visit marriage registries, churches, mosques, or other wedding venues to verify whether up to 70% of brides are in their 20s before declaring that men hardly marry women in their 30s? Or you just pulled your claim out of thin air?

You sound like someone who skimmed through a high school biology textbook and now thinks he's an expert.

Since you seem so eager to learn ‘biology,’ let me educate you: while women’s fertility declines at 35-40, men’s sperm quality also starts deteriorating around the same time.

Aging sperm leads to lower motility, higher DNA damage, and increased risks of autism, schizophrenia, and genetic disorders in children.

Instead of obsessing over women, maybe advice your fellow men to get their sperm checked because a lot of them have sperm that get a head start but can’t even swim, let alone make a baby.


Many women in their 30s conceive naturally. Menopause, which happens around 45-50, is the real cut-off, not some imaginary ‘30-year expiration date’ you made up.

There is one thing I realized some years ago and many people are just making a big mistake, you don't have to be rich before you can start a family.. Why I'm saying this is, I have seen many people who always brag around that they can't marry until they are rich, and while waiting for this wealth age and time wait for nobody...
My uncle was victim of what I'm saying and he is regretting his actions today...
All what I'm trying to say is, if you are managing with your life then just look for a sensible Man or woman and plan things together.. many things you have never achieved when you was alone with a sensible man or woman you might be able to achieve some..
YOU JUST NEED THE RIGHT PARTNER...
Underlined word the right partner, if you are a struggling guy you meet the wrong partner trust me it's straight to early grave, it's not about getting married early it's about finding the right partner who is ready to build with you trust me it's hard these days especially with the crase for money among our Gen Z girls none of them want to build with a struggling guy, most of them girls don't even believe in having a handiwork, they believe using their body to get what they want .

Statistics show that the chances of poverty happening to those who first established themselves financially before marriage are significantly lower than poverty remaining the lot of those who entered into marriage while living in poverty. Again, you have Nigeria as a test case to work with. It is a country where the vast majority of those stuck in poverty today were not only raised in poverty themselves but also chose to get married and start a family before escaping the clutches of poverty. What we have today, with over 50 million families living under abject poverty and with many others struggling to keep from being dragged below by it, is not by chance. undecided

Poverty does not follow people. Rather, poverty happens to people, and it does so in the form of shackles — their decision-making abilities, outlook, and way of life are impacted by it. But the good is that people can, even then, through self education/awareness, individuals can decide against poverty. undecided
I really don't know what we are arguing about here. Do what works for you and advice people around you to do whatever. If I know a young lady or man in their 20s with a good job, and has a good, kind partner with similar or better financial standing they want to do life with I will encourage them.

Disagreeing with your baseless claims doesn’t mean I’m being emotional. I’m simply trying to educate you so you don’t keep spreading misinformation and blindly Googling things without actually understanding them.

If you recall, you started by falsely claiming that men rarely marry women in their 30s.

By the way, why is your focus often on women's issues? Why haven’t you ever advised your fellow men to cut down on sugar? Excessive sugar consumption negatively affects male fertility and sexual performance.


Stop acting like women reach menopause in their 30s or that all women in their 30s struggle with fertility issues.

While women do experience a gradual decline in egg count, fertility issues are less common in the early 30s.

Yes, fertility issues become more prevalent in the late 30s, but many women still conceive naturally at this stage.

Let me cite some examples, just as you did:

Rihanna gave birth to her second child at 35 with no issues.

My cousin gave birth at 37 with no issues.

Nicki Minaj gave birth at 37 with no issues.

I have friends who gave birth in their late 30s with no issues, some were even 38 or 39.


Though aging can lead to reduced sperm quality in some men over 60, some remain capable of fathering children. Similarly, although women's fertility declines after 35, with a more pronounced decrease after 40, some women in this age group can still conceive naturally. Everybody's biological clock is unique.

Susan Sarandon had her children between the ages of 39 and 45 with no issues.

Halle Berry gave birth at 47 with no issues.


Up to twenty of my acquaintances were over forty, and some were even up to fifty, and they gave birth without issues.

My grandma was over sixty when she gave birth to my dad without issues.
Smokin' hot responses here... You came fully prepared with multiple assault weapons. Just for a minute, I thought it was some kind of DeepSeek or ChatGPT that was spitting out those references.

Potential infertility issues can literally be taken care of today in both men and women with advanced medicine and detox sessions to remove heavy metals in the blood stream which inhibit fertility and childbirth, so, yes, environmental conditions and the biological clock do matter here.

Nice thread.

It’s normal for some women to regret getting married at some point in their marriages BUT they usually snap out of it down the road if things CAN be resolved. Better to quit a really bad and abusive relationship if situations CANNOT be resolved amicably than to manage it though.

U go spend, it comes with a lot of responsibility. You will feed her, clothes her, buy her jewelry.you will be buying things for kids too, paying school fees. Father's spent a lot, especially when the children resume back to school. You will spend when wife get pregnant, weekly going for anti natal and when she finally delivered. A man should prepare for all this. The sacrifice our fathers made can never be repaid

I remember the story of a Nigerian woman saying she was happy in her marriage, and the married Nigerian woman came out to mock her saying she was lying, that no Nigerian woman married to a Nigerian man is truly happy in her marriage. They also hinted that marriage was just a task they endure due to societal pressures, so the matter of their issues being resolved down the line and snapping out of it just mean they are enduring and not truly happy. They are in a state of what I call a tolerable level of unhappiness.

Lool. If it was very easy to make money and women were making them, they won’t be hustling for marriage.


Many women that got married did so because it was their only way to get money from their husbands, even the ones not married are hustling for boyfriends that will put them on allowance.

Young girl, have you hard any man complaining that he is cruel to the woman due to her financial status.? Or do you think money is all that is needed to have a happy home?

You are not smart, the reason for getting money supposedly is to achieve financial independence so you can cater for yourself and then in your 30s you still run into what you were afraid to run into in your 20s looking for a man to sponsor your financial liabilities, so i ask what then is the essence of rubbishing marriage and depending on a man in 20s when you will still run to that dame dependency when you are in your 30s?

This is the simple reason you see ladies in their 30s and 40s crying on social media after having the money but no man comes their way because they have passed their peak sexual market value, no one wants a woman has 98% pf her eggs dead. When will you ladies learn? Men and women aren't the same, the moment you build your life as a man forget it just continue to live that life as a man because that's how it will be.

Indeed, I was referencing the global tolerance standards in my last post here "about snapping out of the marriage regret situation" but from my years of studying country-specific socio-economic situations, some women in largely patriarchal societies such as Nigeria indeed go through a lot to keep up with societal expectations like you emphasized.

Regardless, sustainable cash flow indeed helps to smoothen things up for couples in a long-term relationship or marriage since a LACK of regular cash flow is a major cause of depression, separation and divorce in marriages based off of official historical records. Men tend to be a lot angrier (and sometimes violent) when they don't have money as that can be emasculating for some, BUT are happier when they have enough disposable income to take the only "babe" on a surprise trip to the now upscale "Ikogosi Resort" in Ekiti State (officially voted twice for 2 years in a row as the best Nigerian holiday resort) OR to "Four Points by Sheraton" on a romantic dinner date, etc. That's the love language in motion.

Last but not least, for two people who come from different family backgrounds and unique experiences, "having emotional intelligence and a sustainable level of income or cash flow" is what truly enables the endurance to become tolerable because marriage is work and we all live in a world of "cause and effect." What you throw into the "ethers" comes right back at you in terms of effects.

Oga, when men advise their fellow men, you don’t see women coming there with fake cries and tantrums. Go and do your do and let us do our do. If men were the so called unselfish people, you won’t see women rising up and advising their fellow women.

Just look at the hell in Nigeria today because of the so called unselfish men.

This question of yours, in the context of this topic, makes absolutely no sense of any kind. The argument here is that women forgo marriage in their 20s in order to spend that time bettering themselves and gaining financial dependence — escaping poverty— before they finally settle down in their 30s. If such a woman decides even then to find a financially well off man who can cater to her needs, what part of that is deceit, particularly since society considers it a norm that a man take care of his wife's needs in marriage? sad

2. Menopause? Science and medicine have made it possible for women to have children even past age 60, so menopause is no longer a valid reason for any woman to choose to enter marriage before first pulling herself out of poverty. undecided
