I took a loan of 500k, start biz and double the money together with the help of my wife.
We got married and continue the biz, add other stuff to the biz,.
Today, we make over #1m per month.
Last time we balance our account, I think our money is close to 30m.
I married my classmate, course mate and my friend.
We will be leaving school soon.

The thing is that : get a supportive partner, don't stay idle. Work out things yourself.
Do extra outside the salary coz salary alone cannot sustain a family if the pay is not tangible.
Don't blame Government on everything.
Whoever in power, whether he perform or not, I must achieve something.
Which business are you doing?

Hmm. What a poor man's mentality grin. My advice isn't for your category anyway. The more your salary, the higher your commitment. My salary is also in millions monthly as a business owner. If I relied on that as an employee in any company. I won't achieve anything. Convert that so-called millions to usd, how much is that? I have 2 friends working in shell who resigned. They're both medical doctors. Their salary will shock you but they still left. In the estate where i live in lagos, a plot of land is now 135m with begging. Will your millions buy you only land without building on it? How many years salary will take your house to a lintel level in such an estate ?
What business are you doing tho?

Bc I am a living thing and it is expected to reproduce.
You can have big business and it will fail
You can be earning big and you get sacked or anything can happen.
Having kids is one of my greatest joy and achievements in life.
Remebr, you can get twins or triplet at once.

Rushing into marriage was your first mistake, your desperation to satisfy those social norms.

To be fair, there's nothing wrong in marrying immediately after getting a good job. The problem is listening to outsiders in the name of "family" in how to run your home. Today, the same family isn't helping him out with food provisions or accommodating at least one child so as to reduce the responsibilities on his neck. I would have said the wife should work, but she's a new mother, with twins sef, so it's not easy.

Just because you can reproduce doesn't mean you should be inconsiderate with it. I think many of our people, especially men and unfortunately so, believe marriage is full of enjoyment. Well, it can be, but only when the responsibilities are taken care of first.

I hope he gets another good job, and as another Nairalander stated, stop childbearing even when/if his finances improve tremendously.

No serious opposition. People should accept the inevitable - Tinubu would win. Maybe next time, the stoopid opposition should have merged in 2023 to prevent him from entering Aso Rock.

I don't know how long it would take seun osewa to create a family thread with strict access .

Firstly, I'd say we're architect of our fortune or otherwise in life. We can all begin to getting it right by voting right leaders in governing positions. Take it or you leave it, the masses are always at the receiving end, irrespective of tribal affiliations.

I just dropped off my son at his school today and I knew how much I paid in school fees alone, not to talk of provisions, pocket money, mention it. I get pikin wey dey university too, a private one for that matter.

All I can say is, God's grace has been sufficient for me.

Don't wait until you have a 2-bed before you get married. Things will get better with time. Let your fiancé agree with you on this. Plan for your future. By the time you attain our level, stress or pressure won't be much. If you have the opportunity to japa, don't hesitate but japa with sense. Go to school and come back as I always advocate. It's the best decision ever taken by me.. Invest in meaningful endeavours. You may also stay there but don't dull yourself. If your friends are riding big cars, don't copy them. Its a liability. Enter train.If they're throwing parties abroad and buying asoebi, waka pass because if you attend one, when it gets to your turn, you must spend too.

Hear this, salary will never make you rich, regardless of where you're working or living on earth. The world is changing so don't rely on 9/5 job. Establish yourself. It's not easy to be self-employed but it pays in the long run
Drawn a lot from your wisdom. I will be 40 this December and my life is way better than it was when I was bachelor and even as early in marriage. Truly, life gets better for a responsible married man with time by God's grace.
When I was a bachelor I craved travelling abroad for greener pasture but here am I today, still in Nigeria, gradually establishing myself, to me traveling abroad for green pasture is not a dream anymore unless otherwise I am re-directed by Providence.

My kids are the ones I reserve the dream of traveling abroad for schooling.

God is the source of my provisions. Because each year I spend far more than what I envisage. I don't womanize or club or spend frivolously. Sometimes when I doubt my expenditure I have to cross check my expenses and it's always on point. It's just God.

Testimony. I went from a 1.5 flat to a 3.5m flat last year. It wasn't planned at the start of the year. But it happened. Then a baby also came. Omo. Na God.
You do not explain to people explicitly. Typical nigerian mentality. You are dishonest.
