Richiy:


The secret is this: I have this app that tells me my exact age down to the nanosecond. I will attach a pic of my current age to this post. Anytime I open this app and see time literally trickle down before my eyes, I sit up. That app makes my mortality real.

I read fiction!!! I don't read nonfiction. I can't fathom the thought that these things could be real. I'd rather it be imaginary.

BTW, Quora needs you!!

That's some app. I think that is one good approach. Although I think the approach of taking things calmly also works - you'd be surprised what some calm ("easygoing" folks achieve at the end of the day!

When you said you read motivational and young adult books and co, I thought you meant non-fic. Since you mentioned Harry Potter, I should guess you prefer genre fiction to literary fiction. Or perhaps you read both? Any favourite authors?

I hope to find time to participate more in quora. Maybe in the coming year. For now, I limit myself to Facebook ranting. My job involves reading from morning till evening anyway, so when I want to "take it easy" I tend to stay with the radio, take a walk, go over to chat with boys, or get into the kitchen to cook up something.

When odas dat re earning less are even happily married with a kid or the. the fact dat u can't manage ur urself very well doesn't mean odas can't..... in fact speak for urself

Hahaha..

Remember Nigeria has a high poverty rate and it is because of this men who are trying to manage and survive, instead of focusing on business ventures and bringing wealth that woman will enjoy with him forever..

Imagine a bachelor earning that low he will have time and money to invest due to the fact that he is single and can only worry about himself and his family..

But a married man will worry about himself, his family, his wife and her family.... Where is the money to invest into a profitable business?

Ajgal10:

That's not fair... Cos he can't afford hundreds of thousands at once he shouldn't get married?

have something nice i want to tell you

I will buy a brand new used brain for you

Why won't you marry a guy who earns 50k per month ??

Why can't you get off your lazy ass and go get a high paying job and help your husband and stop looking for Dangote to come marry you

Gold digging Hoes

So, men who earns 50k per month doesn't deserve a wife because they're poor ?? God, please destroy this world make everybody go rest

Just look at useless females who doesn't earn 60k in a month airing their opinion on who to marry

If you are a female and earn 80k per month, you don't have the right or opinion on a hard working man who earns 50k per month, why don't you work hard and support your husband ??

My father was earning 5k per month when he married my mother and 40 years later they're still married and my old man is now a millionaire

This is the only reason why i will never get Married, i will just go find a girl, get her pregnant she gives me 4 kids and we live together for ever, i don't want rubbish from Foolish girls

The only people i blame are men, they fall mumu to women, that's why these females who have nothing and are broke have expectations on the type of guys they wanna marry


*Spits

*Spits again on money hungry hoes who only wants a guy for his money

All that one, na your opinion. At the end, everyone will go for what they want. Don't give yourself headache in another person's issue.

sanpipita:



Are we saying only the man should provide, if 50k isn't ok, wonder what will be okay, sometimes you people make marriage look like a business venture.

To me marriage is taking legal responsibility for the woman I have entrusted my life and will unto... I will not want her to struggle in pain with me. But to enjoy the wealth I struggled to gain for her sake, for my family's sake and for my children's sake.

Welcomme:
Something tells me u are in ur early 30s, like 32 or 33. Well, if dat is d case SMH for u.I hav an uncle that was earning 40k in abuja, he got married, and infact gave birth to a child, wen the child was exactly one year old, my uncle recieved a call from his old time friend about if he could do so so work..Sis, the rest is history today.. All these happened within a span of 4years. The guy has almost complete his house, and they are living very okay and giving out like there is no tomorrow. By ur analogy of 1/12 of his salary, let assume a guy lives in a two bedroom flat that cost 250k, dat means u cant marry someone who doest earn within that range...Aunty, e ma pe 5 years ni ile baba yin ma

Ehhhhian! I don't know why u are taking panador for my issue o. Your uncle is a lucky guy, his friend that did same is E-begging with his wife on family section. Thank God for his friend...
Sorry, I dont want a mediocre life. My opionin, my life. I wish you well with yours.

itzmejerry:

why would yu say dat? my dad earn #30,000 per month nd he has been able to train 3. children dont discourage the dude It's all about planning

So how was life growing up for you... I am sure you lacked many of the books in school, maybe you were sent to a government school to reduce fees... or maybe you were lived life to survive, instead of enjoying its fruitfulness...

You are allowed jerry to go and earn 30k a month and get married, just imagine training 3 kids with 30,000 in this generation

If the mentality was different, it wouldn't have changed Nigeria Still... i can tell you of how many ''babies'' born into wretched homes that are celebrities and i can still name many ''babies'' that came from wealthy homes that are wretched, freaky junkies still in developed countries..!!!! The very situation we find ourselves into at any moment, Brings Out The Best In Us..Weda We Are Developed Or Underdeveloped Nation, We Must Survive..If I Can Survive Eating Only Palm Karnel And Tapioka, Soaked Garri And Coconut, When My Parents Had Nothing; Every Other Babies Can Do Same, All we need is just to know how many kids u need in your family And The Birth Control Plans..Chekina

Uncle, why birth control na? Don't they come with blessings again?

ATK4Joy:
thank you too! Ladies don't know there's more to marriage than all the physical things! I'm not married yet but for over 3decades have been on earth! What I can say is thatMarriage is not abt how much he's earning is more than that

Nairalanders, take note..... she is single, I repeat, "she is single"

They can't. I guess

Marriage is beyond being legal responsibility of one person, what if your wife is rich and capable? Are you saying you wont allow her take responsibilities too, she shouldnt be just there to breed kids and enjoy your wealth

truly speaking, this thread makes me sick. I don't think I want to get married sef, they can go get married to ritualists for all I care. A lot of peeps don't have their moral values intact

something u have to realize is that pple re different and have different ways of motivation. Have u ever asked urself y most guys get really old and can't settle down, in some other cases some get really old haven't still made d money dey have been looking for all dis while and then finally decide to get a family of their own. The true is that things won't get better so thing that u will one day finally make it and settle down is a mere fallacy. I rather get married to a lady who is hard working and probably have a business or a job than get married to a lazy blood sucking lady who hasn't made a legit 10k all her life. my friend who earns less Dan 40k finally got married to a young beautiful lady who in government just last week here. The young ladies agreed to marry him not because he has money but because he sees potentials in him. The truth is that she is married and happy too. But out there many more young ladies will get old all in bid of looking for a young man with good figure salary. Bro u can as well say guys who earn 50k or less shouldn't just bother to get into relationships and just remain virgins

[quote author=Newbeginnings post=50357764]I don't think a man who earns such an amount should think of getting married yet..

CHAI.....,WE HAVE LOST FOCUS OF MARRIAGE.
WHEN GOD CREATED EVEN,HER ROLE WAS TO BE A HELP UNTO MAN AND NOT A BURDEN UNTO MAN.
can't our women help/support their men and not turning them to ATM machines

Question For The Ladies, come tell us your Answer.
#palmgossip

Yes I can. Love is not money and money is not love.

Only d parasite ladies will say dey can't marry such a person.It can definitly work out if d lady also has a source of income, wt d plan, dat probably d next one year der won't be any baby in order to save up.Everything is all about planning and finding d right person for you.

fyneboi79:
Point of correction. Raising kids is not all about money and what luxury you can buy for them. Its about how much discipline you can instill in them to make them useful to society. Your presense actually matters more than the money.

I know that but poverty breeds evil at times
