The post made a lot of sense..

Make una forget prick and t0t0 matter fess, but whoever receives #500k monthly and it is not still enough for him/her to take care of himself/herself properly, is reckless/insensitive or too proud to know and cut his/her coat according to his/her size (I stand to be corrected though)...

Marriage is not for the boys,
Before I got married 5years ago I face a lot of pressure from families and friends to get married I didn't listen to their pressure.
I got married when I feel prepared for it spiritually, emotionally and financially before getting married.
You married at 40? cool

Sorry oo, me I get 2 for house.
Dan Marwa sef wan give me number 3 na me sef deny.
Men need to look at marriage like a business transaction.
I be manufacturer and I dey run factory plus I be importer.
I need people I can trust, so if I marry you, I don open new outlet be that.
Better make my wives thief my money after all na my pikin dem go enjoy am, than having some dishonest Nigerian unrelated to me steal from me which will benefit neither me nor my progeny.
If an Ibo man was polygamous by culture, nwa boi no go exist again cuz 10 wives equal 10 new shops.
QED

Nigerians will soon start marrying at 50 years old with the way the economy is going.

By 55 you have finished giving birth, your children graduate from university when you are about 75. You retire at 80 and contest for president like Tinubu and Atiku. Sounds like a good plan.

The pressure on men to get married once they hit their 30s is honestly exhausting. In our society, the moment a man enters his 30s, people start acting like he’s overdue for marriage—throwing jabs, cracking jokes, or outright questioning his decisions.

But what many don’t talk about is the financial reality behind it all.

Let’s talk. Share your thoughts in the comments.
Before I got married, my GM would say "never mind about the extra expenses, you'll spend them anyways"

I can tell that things weren't rosy when I was single, they aren't particularly rosy now that I've been married for years.

So why not go ahead and get married (to someone with whom you share mature understanding and a choosing to be responsible to each other).

The problem is people don't know how to choose the right partners and also plan towards marriage not just wedding.

In Africa and majorly Nigeria the wedding is setup by society to financially wreck u. Most Nigerian girls also feel the wedding is more important than the marriage. Lol

Nobody wan marry rubbish.. na rubbish full outside these days...

The ladies will say they don't want to marry a broke guy..

Only you want riches,still want the man to be loyal to you.

When you only came to eat,and give birth.

God bless you. This is the exact reason. Unlike in the past where you could easily find decent well brought up ladies, today it's quite difficult. Social media has really destroyed a lot of girls. A lot of them lack moral values needed for marriage that's why divorce rates are high in this generation. No man wants to make that mistake. I don't think it's about men not having the finance like the op posted. It's actually about not finding the right lady with sound morals.
how do meet non hookup gals

But what many don’t talk about is the financial reality behind it all.

Marriage isn’t just about love; it’s a serious financial commitment. And let’s be real—it’s tough out here. Some men are earning as much as ₦500,000 a month and still don’t feel ready to marry, because even that amount barely sustains one person, let alone a family. When survival is the goal, the thought of taking on more responsibility can be downright scary.

Sometimes, it’s not even about unwillingness. It’s about survival. Stability. Peace of mind.

How do you handle the pressure?
If you’re a man in your 30s, have you felt this pressure too?
If you’re already married, did you feel financially and emotionally ready when you tied the knot?

Let’s talk. Share your thoughts in the comments.
This is my exact situation

I'm average financially but loathe any semblance of laziness combined with entitlement and selfishness, many ladies fall into this category I don't want to be the answer of ladies in this group praying for a millionaire as a husband this is why I'm taking my time. Mine has no reason to do with finance....
I share the same views with you in this regard. cool

Same here. You need to get married when you’re ready, not when your parents or auntie Christie would like you to be ready.

Oga, do not impose your rubbish on others. Its like saying just cos you won a lottery, everyone will win it as well. You were lucky, so thank God for it and say no more.

If you want to be hooked with a Nigerian girl,you must be careful and mindful of her intentions,and pray it's not money driven, there is a reason personalities like Wizkid,Mikel Obi, Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins,iwobi,osimen,Burnaboy,Don jazzy,Victor Boniface,efe ajagba,Jim Iyke,ola Aina, Anthony Joshua and so on all looked outside for spouse.

A certain Ahmed Musa married three different Nigerian girls in five years and divorced all of them 😂😂

Marrying a prostitutte is equivalent of having a date with poorverty, due to the whoreelike behaviour of women the men in the US and Nigeria especially have refused to guarantee many modern women marriage
