See, if you don't want to spend your gratuity on school fees, make sure you marry early and have few children, 3 max.

I got married at 27 because I wanted to stop paying school fees before 60. Thank God, my last born finished university when I was 53.

It was me and my wife forabout 7 years before grandchildren arrived.

God will smile on you if you trust Him and make reasonable plans.

I married the best lady on earth, but that won't stop me from marrying a second and third wives and that won't make me to stop celebrating my wife everyday, she remains my paddy and my supermodel, others are for the glam shocked
You know, the aim of every married man should be that other women envy his wife [whenever he talks about her], and not feel sorry for her.

With all due respect, whenever I read comments from you about your wife... I🤐🥺

At 21, I was driving a big car to church, and the news had spread that I had also bought a car for my dad. I never knew that I was a target already. I should have had at least four houses before marriage, as I had good jobs all through early adulthood. I am not doing badly now, but in hindsight, I should have been a $ millionaire before 35. My kids are older than the kids of all my mates.
Good thing is that you are still successful

In spite of everything, you did so well for yourself, yet you're ungrateful.

The truth of the matter is, you solely, were/are responsible for the decision(s) you made.
Nobody would've made you to do what you didn't want to do, just as nobody could stop you from doing what you had decided to do.
You lived through what you lived through, yet you decided to marry early.
You were not a child.
You have to take responsibility for that.


Again, you would never know what life would've been like, had you not married early.
You probably would've lost everything, then made to start over, or maybe not, who knows?
Marriage most likely kept you grounded, and made you more responsible [including financially].

By the way, how did you come across such quick wealth at that age, considering you came from a poor background?
I'm curious to know....if you don't mind. 👀
I am not ungrateful, I just felt I would have done way better and looking back, I never did what I truly wanted to do, never had fun as I would have expected. You are a lady so, you won't see issues from a guy's point of view. Most ladies want the guy to work till death with little enjoyment.

I studied very hard for ICAN through the ATS route and became a chartered accountant around 20. I never went to a regular university. I got good jobs in multinational when my mates were still in the university.

Got into tax department and was in charge of negotiating company taxe with FIRS officials and you know what that means.
I also moved into oil and gas where I was in charge of supplying ago to the whole country, I used to get my cut from every driver like about 500k every week excluding my paycheck which I never remember to touch. At some point, I bought my own 33,000ltrs ago truck and added to my company's fleet. Nigeria was sweet.

I think I got lucky.

But I did not enjoy my life the way I wanted to or would have lived looking back. It has been work and responsibilities all along.

You just have to identify the source of your relative unhappiness and address it/them. If it's your MIL you may have to take hard decisions.

I cut her off already and she is not allowed to pass the night in my house. Same goes for my brother in laws. Unfortunately, my wife has turned out to become her mother version 2.0 and has refused to consider a divorce when I told her I no longer love her. She would rather die in the marriage.

Well if you married late as a man and you didn't have fun or build anything tangible while single then you probably would have been better off marrying early.

The reason for marrying late would best be to see the world and build a sustainable life. Forget what people say about retiring early and having fun. There is no fun at old age, you will not travel much different ailments for most of them. Falling asleep every 30 mins even when they manage travel they can't even do much. Just sit around in bus while being driven, can't stay out late can't grove at night. grin

If they forget their blue pill no knacking for them, their wives are already too tired to be knacking like mad grin

Guy between the age of 22 and 40 for a guy that is your peak you should be able to travel the world, date women across boards attend raves and Bleep like mad. Once you marry and kids start coming as a man your life is over. As for women that solidifies their lives.

Women are built differently, they peak early and would convince men to slow down with them and before the man will notice otilo. That is why some randy ones will start running around outside to catch a glimpse of what they missed.

Life sweet sha. Imagine waking up to fresh young kpomo for Santorini. Then walk around the beach at night she no wear pant... tongue The next summer you dey Mallorca with a different babe same cycle. Arriving hotel room very late from the beach, knack till your third leg begin pain you. Some nights you go attend raves when you no know the organizer.

Every weekend groove dey ground to attend it you dey mobile get EU kpali and small extra change, bro you be machine. Hiking with friends person most collect prick for forest. Go for long walk with a female friend you go shift pants. Guy youth is a blessing and please enjoy it responsibly while you can.

If to say you marry na normal vanilla waka you dey waka. Normal vanilla holiday no kukere walka. Even if una run amok chances dey say within short time pikin don show once pikin show church don close. grin grin grin

Watch your parents they stay at home all day watching Africa magic morning till night Monday through Sunday. Even when they come abroad to visit you they stay indoors all day. The best they could do is stroll to the city center. The sad part is that their kids are so engrossed in their work and raising their children that they also don't even know how to groove let alone the best places to take their parents to.

Why would they do that? I want to have fun and travel the world ALONE. I feel tied down for a very long time. I should have just had a baby mama without marriage in hindsight.

Maybe she means how lucky you were to make money without degree at very young age.
Jealous should be the right word not mad.

Is she that unhomely? One truth is that a daughter who is very close to the mother would most likely exhibit the traits of the mother, whether good or bad. However, if your wife doesn't cheat, disrespect you or challenge your authority, you may find a way to resolve with her... Except the issue on ground borders on irreconcilable differences.

I do now but I get monitored all the time like contant video calls. I am scheduled to travel alone to Cartagena in Colombia early next month.
I would love to be in Pucket Thailand before the end of this year and ALONE as well. No kids, no wife. Lol

Lazy, no ambition, extremely religious, house is always dirty, never cooks for the kids and always on social media.
I pray and wish she cheats so I can have a legit excuse for divorce.

He is not complaining, a man should have time to discover themselves and what they truly want out of life. It is not all about marriage and kids for some people. For example Don Jazzy is a fulfilled man because he discovered what he loves doing. When you marry early in this part of the world, 90% chances that you won't discover the actual you and your capability. This is a manly talk, women may not understand it. A man can have kids and wife and yet feel empty.

Success is relative my friend. When I think success, I think of the missed experiences not just assets and money in the bank. I started working at 14 and have worked all my life to raise and support other people for wich I get little in return from them.

It is not about marrying early or late, it is about marrying as a matured person and marrying the right person.
Marriage is like learning on job, more or less "ICE" Institute of Continuing Education. No perfect marriage, you mould yourselves to suit each other desires.

I don't know much about you guys but I see opportunity for a restart in your marriage. Had it been she is disrespectful and a suspected cheat, I'd have said otilo.

As for ambition, not every wife is interested in career or business. Some just want to support their husbands and remain a housewife. However, the social media addiction is one that must be addressed.

As for you having fun, I don't think anything is stopping you. But having sex with random women is no fun in my opinion.

Genital circumcision and painful intercourse leading to no-existent libido.

Wow. That's a lot to handle.

She won't cheat in this case. You'll just have to find a balance to make things work. When a thing is broken, you should try to fix it, not throw it away.
