I Have ₦13M Savings: Should I Build A House Or Get Married? by ImpeccableDust(op): 10:03am On Aug 25
Good morning, everyone. I have been waiting for your advice on what to do and the next step to take.

I've already saved 13M, and I'm getting older. I'm turning 31 and have been considering getting married or building a house with my money.


Would you advise me to start a family with my money or to build a house and see where 13 million naira goes? I already have some land.


Please, I need some good advice.

What do you all think?

Is the land in the city or village. If city, build the house get a baby mama and continue your business. I've been in marriage for over 14 years and I know what am saying.

Build house first or have a grounded business. Spending that kind of money on wedding is out of place. What you need to start a home is accomodation and a stable source of income.

You have 13 million? Some people are just blessed with money without any iota of what can multiply such money.
That 13 million, no use am marry at all, if worse come to worse, and you don't know what to do eith it, go and buy acres on land in a reliable place, you can buy like 50 acres, plant cash crops and forget the rest, in next 60 to 100 yrs, you might not need to work again. Go plant cocoa, or plantain, pineapple, kola, rubberc ashew, coconut, sugar cane. Another investment you can do is go into importation and importation of goods or go into production.

Build the house first. In our hierarchy of needs, we need shelter.

Enu dun rofo. Cho Cho Cho. 50 Acres? Na so e easy? If dem dupe am in the process of buying the Land, shey you go reimburse am? Cocoa, Kola, Plantain, Shey if Fulani Herdsmen trample on his farm with their cows, you go come follow am carry Kalashin to fight off the herdsmen?

@OP - Do not build any house yet, even with your land, the money is not enough. Do not marry yet or even at all, it will slow you down and you won’t get to your destination on time.

At 31, you’re still very young. Trust me, there are people in their 50’s that are still single & hopeful.

Abi you want to rush into marriage and rush out like many are doing nowadays? Just keep multiplying your money.

So, i knew something like this will be a response. Is it everyone that buys land that is being duped? Or you think all parts of Nigeria is where land grabbers dey? Or their aren't genuine land sellers?
@Op, you hear him o, don't marry, don't build house, don't invest, just be spending your money.

Seeing this reminds me of how guys on Nairaland bait and lure ladies back in the days.. once the ladies see money and false claim of wealth, they instantly want to connect and become friends.

Build a house

The best time is now

The next time, cement may be 20k per bag

BTW, why will you want to spend 13M on wedding? Anything more than 2M on marriage is wasting on money
Re: I Have ₦13M Savings: Should I Build A House Or Get Married? by UkoAnnang(m): 10:11am On Aug 26

Get married, put that money or most of it in a mutual savings account, and continue saving for a good house , because 13million cannot build a house in this Nigeria that is good enough for a growing family, let us not lie to ourselves. Unless you are residing in your home village.

If you want to do so, take a mortgage loan from a mortgage bank. If your workplace offers you a way to get such loans, ask them for help.

Don't do either. Build a business that will give you cash flow to now build a house. If you sink money on either of those two otilor
Re: I Have ₦13M Savings: Should I Build A House Or Get Married? by HacheNoire: 10:12am On Aug 26
Just make sure you don’t sink 13,million into the ground. It is unwise for you to build a house with your life savings.

Put that money to work while you keep doing your thing and making more.

You can hold GENUINE land for long term gains but don’t build.
