Such noble families she mentioned will never see her obsession for money as respect and consider getting any close to her in the fitst place. Her ilks are a damaged mind Theomarvelus: |

My own is that what if the guy has been doing well but all of a sudden lost his job or things turn down for him, will you leave him? |

Sunkab:Una no take math class abi wetin? Why continue to ask these obvious questions? As long as the man does not earn more... no matter the condition... the woman, if she respects her own boundary, has the right to waka. ![]() |

Goodlady:Seun, don't you have moral code that guides you? Anyways, I learnt you are atheist but can't good conscience save you from depravity?! How come you put up a high pedestal for lowlife like this jezebel to yab crap to netizens. You need no investigation to know this one is a godless woman of vanity. This is a terrible negative influencer that no godly institution should give relevance

Kobojunkie:OP specifically mentioned Adenuga's boys, Dangote has no male kid And speaking of reasoning, how many out of the four billion men are heirs to billionaire-dollar fortunes? OP had a preference that automatically excluded 99% (maybe higher) of the male population, you might want to read her rant all over again for better comprehension |

Abeg where una Dey see jobs. I’m not disrespectful, I just need a job 😭😢. |

IbnB:Again, the core of OP's argument is that she would not date or marry a man who earns less than she does. ![]() 2That only applies if OP herself is at least a dollar billionaire. ![]() Try to comprehend what her mentioning of those names implies, not what you want it to mean for you. ![]() |

Kobojunkie:So basically, cooking and cleaning in the household you both live is considered slavery while having a man that provides not only for you but takes care of yourr external family needs as well is considered normal duty of a man (This is how it works in most Nigerian marriages). If you want to change societal or traditional belief system you must be willing to change the role of a man from such provider and speak on how boys are also raised from childhood to be providers and how their financial status determines their worthiness of a woman/wife! You can't have the double standards of speaking against societal conditioning for the woman while ignoring the same for the man! |

Suddenly you're a helpless baby and some man must take care of you before you can exist otherwise you will not be taken care of, how old are you again. |

abbey621:Doing labor that you are not adequately remunerated for, cannot clock out of — you are literally on call 24/7, and also get no vacation time off from it is slave labor. Look up the word in the dictionary. 2. I said nothing of wanting to change anything. This discussion is simply seeing up, pointing out things for what they are. ![]() 3. There is nothing wrong with beneficial social conditioning, such as the concept of submitting to the law for the community to thrive. What I simply pointed out earlier is the harmful conditioning that causes women to submit themselves to men who prey on them and their energies. ![]() |

Kobojunkie:Again you're making my point, 24/7 what exactly? Husband that goes to work for 10 to 12 hours, sleep for another 6 to 8, how are you catering to him 24/7? Same goes for kids, unless they're babies, kids will go to school or daycare for 6 to 8 hours, sleep for another 7 to 8, so how is this 24/7? Large percentage of Nigerian middle and upper class households have help, where's this 24/7 catering coming from? RIDICULOUS! |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by IbnB: 9:43pm On Nov 19, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:OP did not state that anywhere in initial post, that condition exists only in your imagination....you preach comprehension but it is obviously not one of your own strong suits |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by Kobojunkie: 9:56pm On Nov 19, 2025 |
abbey621:Storyland! The over 170 million living under the poverty line have daycare and all that for kids and babies, abi! The same middle/upper class that now makes up less than 10% of the current Nigerian population, where over 170 million live under the poverty line? Yeah, you are being quite ridiculous now! ![]() |

No rich man should marry an entitled parasite and a liability. It won't be funny! |

Kobojunkie:You're not good at data analysis, you really believe we have over 170 million adults in Nigeria with kids to take care of?.......DEY PLAY! |

Kobojunkie:Where did you get your statistics of 50% of married women being breadwinners in Nigeria? How did you get your information? How many married women and married men have you interviewed? |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by Nice2023(m): 8:12am On Nov 20, 2025 |
Emeskhalifa:She didn't know...I was the one who told her few years in our marriage because she saw that money wasn't a problem and it was coming in. |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by Emeskhalifa(m): 8:41am On Nov 20, 2025 |
Nice2023:Oh nice. But 1 question, since money wasn't the problem right from onset, do you think if today money becomes a problem (God forbid, won't ever be your portion) she'd still stay loyal to you? Just saying, you should think about that too. |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by vanvickie(m): 9:15am On Nov 20, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:Almost 50% of women are bread winners? In which Nigeria? Pls where did you get your statistics from? Do you even know that many women from Northern Nigeria don't work, and the North makes up almost 50% if not more of the Nigerian population (you can look it up) . So I ask again... Where did you get your 'almost 50% of women are bread winners in Nigeria'? Once woman foot bills for 1 or 2 months due to some financial constraints on the husband's side who has been footing bills for donkey years... THEY SUDDENLY BECOME BREAD WINNERS.... |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by Nice2023(m): 9:31am On Nov 20, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:My reason is that,she is already right in her thinking and u can't force an adult whose mind has been set on something...u cam only be talking. I had to dwell on the part which is most pressing. |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by lawani(m): 9:32am On Nov 20, 2025 |
vanvickie:In the majority of marriages the wife is a co bread winner because wives work and what will they be doing with their income?. Only a few men have a high enough income to not need input from their wives. |
| Re: I Can't Respect A Man That's Not Earning More Than Me by Nice2023(m): 9:41am On Nov 20, 2025 |
Emeskhalifa:When I wanted to marry my wife in 2015,her mother went to my village to find out more about my family. Do u know what they told her,they told her that we were poor with integrity. And my mother in law said,poverty is of the mind and they too were poor before things got better and after that,my mother in law and her son jointly gave my wife the go ahead to accept the proposal as what they were interested in was peace of mind and honest family where there is love. This is a family I can die for. |

Nice2023:Wow. Wishing you an everlasting happiness in your house sir. |

That's how some of dem ended up as bitter single momas antagonizing men here and there, claiming rights jumping from one bed to another(bed to bed midfielders) |

Kobojunkie:Good. So when I see any woman that earns more than her,I'd gladly dump her and go for the highest earner. What's good for the goose,is good for the .... |

Goodlady:There's a way someone behaves on social media then you'll realize they have a mental illness and there's absolutely no need to engage them. |
