isn't it good,must u suffer all in d name of marraige.

So self Con na suffer?

Am not belittling myself becos I knw I will start from a good shelter but imagine places like lagos, FCT and PHcity where accommodation is expensive compare to some states. 600k will get me a manage self con in lag esp @ lsland and some mainland. Meanwhile in ogun, OYO, etc 600k will get me a bedroom flat and if possible I will purchase land from it.

So u can see what's invoke here. Money is not easy to get and depending on where u wana stay, don't think ur husby about 2 start life with u will rent a 3bedroom or mansion @ lekki.

[b]I definitely will settle with him in a self contain,the fact that he even has a roof over is head is something,living in a SC is not the end of the world,Rome wasn't built in a day,as long as we have a roof over our heads and both of us are working or earning an income,we can start life from there. l met my hubby January last year and he was living in a self contain, i too lived in a self contain, by November we got married and i moved in wt him,and by the grace of God,just 2 weeks ago we moved into a 2 bedroom flat in a serene estate. some ladies should look beyond the now of a man and look to his future, if he is hardworking and dedicated,definitely things will change for him with Ur support, ready made men don't really value women cos they feel Ur with them for d money,trust me, i have been there.

This marriage and settling down thing is overhyped, we all have choices & I'm actually tired of seeing women on the receiving end of the endless lists of NL.

Leave these ladies to make whatever decisions they want, guys just relax, at least you are not affected by menopause. In few years time, they won't even mind moving into a one room face me I slap you.

Guys, the time you spend here trying to change their mentality to start from the scratch with you, spend that same time gathering the riches you forsee in the future. The future comes each day.

As for me, I don't even notice attractive girls, I only notice the level of intelligence when they talk or the opposite as it may be

Yes because that is where I started with my husband before we become what we are today. When God want to bless you he doesn't take permission from any one likewise he raises a billionaire from refuse dump. What if you marry a man that lives at Maitama and tomorrow you found yourself at that face me I slap, will you abandon your husband. Embrace what you have.

So, if I have a bf/fiancé that strikes off and makes huge cash before we settle down, I must insist on self con then grin
So that I can be a home maker as described by the bible? What version, book, chapter and verse abeg?

Not tryna soil anyone's mind but it's just wrong to attempt to elevate yourself and look like some sweetheart on here n @ the same time paint others that disagree with you black...
noooooo, i didnt ask any one not to marry a rich guy. but the rate girls are treating boys are who not reach today is alarming. i married my wife when i was leaving in a self con. today, am leaving in a 3 bedroom flat. by the grace of GOD, we will soon pack into my own house and some girls i knew then that were looking for wealthy men are still single. what am trying to say is that the future is bright with good planning. for people to strick and make it overnight, a lot of irregularities and illegalities are involved. planning is the best.

Many ladies would rather marry a guy that is brainless but stays in dupless and has cas that his parent provided him!

My hubby was in face I slap u when he paid my bride-p. But I noticed his brain was big and that was what I capitalised on, now we own houses even in other states and we stay in our own house in Lagos today. Accomodation status can always change!

hmmm,if he can't,then I will provide one with my money,I can't live the lifestyle my parents once lived,my expectations re far more better than dat,I need to think big,plan big things and make it come to pass before settling down,cos I think a poverty life in nija is bad than in abroad there

To b honest dere are self containeds and dere are slums. I've lived in nice apartments all my life n I thank God for dat. But wot would u say about a grown man who lacks judgment n goes to get a 2bedroom apartment in an old unfinished building in a slum close to the suburbs when he could hv managed a 1bedroom in gud condition in central Lagos for a gud price....that tells me a lot about d person....1. He lacks a sense of gud judgement. 2.i cannot trust him to make gud decisions than I make on my behalfbecause I hv no intentions of raising my kids in a horrible environment.you should see how proud d guy was of his apartment which he couldn't get a decent paintjob done on. Which means I cant marry him cos he doesn't know what he's doin.aint nuffin wrong wit marrying someone whose struggling....if hes got brains and is an excellent planner with great life plans .just dat very few of dem use their brains properly... You end up having to mother them thru d process ... Which is so annoying.

Nope! It's just room kitchen and toilet...


Mehn... I aint asking for too much but self contain we can as well join resources n get a proper apartment...

Some people just wishing hardship on themselves just to look good on nl... and telling fairy tales up and down. yes, I know people who rose from grass to grace but some didn't too! It's life, that you're poor today doesn't give you license to be rich tomorrow... lets tell ourselves the truth sometimes...

If you go into such with the mindset of "self con today, duplex tomorrow" and the duplex doesn't come you will get frustrated! #fact so before you go ahead to wish yourself hardship, you better tell yourself that it may stay that way forever then if duplex comes, fine.

Lemme not forget to say that women now work(for those still living in 1914). Work and try to get the things you want biko. And if his ego is too huge that he won't let you contribute, he's adviced to use that huge ego and refuse to live in a self con as well.

God bless you, I thought everyone was stupid here ni didn't know there are still some few with brains
