It depends on your location but anything from 50k upward is a good start n let your wife be productive too.

D impt thing is dt u ve a good wife, d money of a woman shld nt be over emphasised except for lazy dudes. Good wife whether employed or unemployed u r good to go

Hmmm.. 50k ke? Biko no call that amount in this present times. By the time you take away your cost of doing the job that pays that, OYO becomes your case.

sisisioge:
Hmmm...150k from the guy and at least 100k from the babe. Totally monthly running cost shouldn't exceed 150k for both of them while they try to safe at lease 100k . This shouldn't be bad for starters. They can indeed grow together.

Ishilove, how much do you think that kwanipa boy you've been tailing earns?

Lalasticlala, how much would say you need to settle with a good snake ?

Biko let's ask the rest of the world.

So in that case, you are earning 100k abi? Cuz you are the babe na.

You girls that are stingy with your money in relationship. I want to assume that you would only contribute 5k on that 100k monthly savings. The rest of the money is for iPhone, clothes, makeup kits and Aso Ebi

I know family that earn 50k per month and they 're enjoying their life....stop all these 250k , 150 k per month stuff abet, hw many of u is a Even earning up to dt amount

Humility017:

God bless you bro....
you see many ladies will be single for a long time
how many guys earn that sum and still unmarried?
you see why guys are avoiding marriage like plague...none want dude receiving less 100k

When they get older they start going to Shiloh and synagogue.


There's nothing sweeter than a woman struggling and fighting by your side

Nma27:
E- money hit his first contract on his way after wedding his wife. My uncle, his friend, my neighbor... The list is long...lol

lol... Oya na.. Una hear?

Have u ever met a lady u ever want to Marry but Money no dey for u to marry her until she gone??

No work no marriage, cos financially man must stable

sekem:


Don't make me laff pls

In other words, many peeps should marry for favours to jam them left right front back and center abi?

So what of us wey no wan marry?

E mean say nothing for us abi?

"some" not all... Its in the bible. He that findeth a wife obtaineth favour from the Lord. Its already written its left for u to claim it

Nma27:
Many peeps success are tied to marriage. Once they marry, favour starts to fall on them from left and right.

Naso them dey talk.That is the reason why papa Johnny is in one room with four children and unable to pay school fees.

Addicted2Women:

When you're comfortable enough to feed your family,
pay your bills and still have some left

I blame people who dates or marry unemployed women, they're liabilities

Marry an employed woman so you wouldn't die before the age of 40 from regrets

Hahahahaha

Nma27:

I strongly disagree. My mum, sister and everyone I know says the same you wrote here. But what I see from my day to day experience is different.

Poor singles become poorer when they marry. When children starts coming and No money. Pls where is the Favour?

oluwarichie07:



oga wisdom, you're the one that's said the only realistic and sensible thing since morning.

all you ppl saying 150k jobs, how many jobs pay 150k monthly in Nigeria, how many jobs even pay 100k.

u guys are so unrealistic

They keep on deceiving themselves, even girls from very poor families are saying not less than 150k, it's either u remain single for ages, you marry an old man, u remain being an olosho or u end up marrying a boy with no dime.

Nma27:
"some" not all... Its in the bible. He that findeth a wife obtaineth favour from the Lord. Its already written its left for u to claim it

So what of SOME of us wey no sabi wetin Bible be as we no be Christians or Moslems?

E still mean say nothing for us at all at all abi?

Mypeople2:
Naso them dey talk.That is the reason why papa Johnny is it in one room with four children and unable to pay school fees.

Will comprehend my post... I never generalized. We all have different fates

Juliearth:
It largely depends on the location....a monthly income of 100k for instance might not go far in Abuja but can in states like Plateau,Kaduna....however,I belief in humble beginnings-you dont need tarty billion for the akant before you take the bold step,start out small and grow together.

Better wife material

Maybe only when you earn as little as a Nigerian senator. When you are ready to marry, you will know.

Stop being mediocre with your thoughts. Stop before its too late. I gave my opinion same as others without myself or anyone in mind. Whew!

Just b positive.. That's all.

C as ppu dey shout 150k-350k as minimum,am sure those quoting such amount are not in d realm of reality,maybe mostly fresh graduate,undergraduate, or secondary school leaver,
Like say e easy,abi no b d same Nigeria we dey tgeda dey hustle, dis earnings re level 14 and above take home for civil servant or for private,u go don read and get experience tayya b4 taking such home at d end of d month,as an employee of a private/multinational companies.
Ogbeni,my peeps,don't let us b like uncle monsuru in my neighborhood, dt graduated early and got a job dt could feed his mouth but refuse due to d high standard he has set for himself, like what odas have quoted earlier
Uncle Monsuru is now 43,still waiting for dt target,
Let's face d reality,once u av a job dt can cater for u conveniently will cater for anoda person too,dts d logic,its more safe and less expensive as a married young man Dan live as a bachelor wout focus and budget, at d end of s day,d previous will turn out better Dan d later

Nma27:

Lol, positive is not equal to being logical , Me I have said my own sha. If you like Marry a jobless guy and be praying for Favour after marriage. Na OYO oh.

Marry now with the little you have. Don't wait to
be a millionaire, Have kids early so you can grow
with them. Grow with your kids and succeed with
your wife. You will never finish making money or
achieving your plans. You might still not succeed
at your target year. So start your life early, with
consistency you will grow.


My father said this to me: _When i was 25, i was
talking about making billions before i marry.
Many years later, billions didn't come, yet no kid
no wife... I had an opportunity to marry the most beautiful love
of my life very early, But my fear was, can i
really take care of her? But right now She's married with
Four grown up children. The guy that married her
was still schooling then, but had the courage.
They worked hard and succeeded together. I
failed, so please if you can feed yourself, you can
feed your wife. You have to believe it, marry
early, don't wait.

Don't make our mistakes, I see
my childhood friends play with their kids.. Most
of them are not doing as well as me.. But they
are happier with their families..
Trust me it isn't money only, but Rather your Maturity, your
happiness depends entirely on your wisdom and the way you Handle Life. With
a well planned life they are happier.


Trust me it
isn't money, What is our problem? Build mansion, buy the latest Car in Town, marry Sharon stone type, but still we don't have those things we dreamt of,
and of course the years we wasted, we can never have them neverrrr!!!_


Please don't be 60yrs old and your kids will still
be in their 20's..What are you supposed to be at
that age? Their grand father.
Please young men, take my advice seriously.


Marry, don't be afraid, that girl you are finding too many
fault in has many good qualities if you look well.

Don't think you will get every thing before you
settle down. God can change your life in a blink,
with a good and Focus wife by your side, you will succeed
by God grace....Amen

*Ladies, please try and pass this across to Ur boyfriend or fiancé* *Guys please have a re-think and tell other guys about it too... And consider this advice*°°°°°°°°

what's ur own business? why are u begging people? is everybody not entitled to their opinion? you have nothing to contribute to this nation than increase in population when the white folks are inventing wonders. you're a primitive black man who should be ashamed of yourself. if you like,marry at 18,no one is stopping you. 70 year old Donald Trump has a 10 year old child and Donald is far better than your father who has grown up children in every way. Africans with stupid mentalities. nonsense. must you wait for the day you will reap off your children? and must you just settle for any woman cos you want to marry?

fabre4:
many of you are deceiving yourselves here how many jobs pay 150k and above in Nigeria

Don't mind them, most of those who are commenting have not yet entered the labour market. Even banks don't pay as much as that for many of it's workers. Most jobs available in Nigeria today pay below #100,000. People are just packaging

May God bless you immensely. I this has been the mistake most guys make. Even the bible told us that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. You do not have to wait for that millions before you get married. Guys, marry now of you think you are ready. The most important thing is to marry someone who understands and who van assist you whenever the time comes. I have said my own o.

Dts what 50% of male civil servants between 25 n 40 yrs earn u mean they shld never consider marriage

On top of dt many states owe salaries

Don't get me wrong jor. Wait till u are millionaire sha afterall time will wait for you

Nma27:

Sorry Ma, actually success after marriage could be linked to double-hustle mindset knowing you have lot of responsibility, newly married tend to search for opportunities knowing he does not fend for himself alone any more or when people sympathetically gifts the newly weded with opportunities to breakthrough materially/financially.

@topic, healthy financial status and other key components are constant in every successful marital life equation.

yes my brother....you're very ryt
a friend of mine will be getting married these year ending.... to be honest his pay is just #50k and likewise his finacee income...
but the lady so much believe in him and their future together and she is just in her mid 20s.
I so much cherish and admire that my friend not just because of His glorious future but because he is blessed wit a good and virtuous woman by his side

u guys are so unrealistic

That's very true.Whenever I think about the expenses , I just feel weak.Some ladies feel we guys are not serious but they don't know it is the expenses.50k monthly can feed you and your wife .But two weeks into the marriage, she says "dear I am pregnant" .What will you do?Instead of jubilating ,you will be annoyed.Some persons will say, "we are not ready for a baby now ".

if you don't have 200million forget about marriage

don't mind them with their foolish African mentality o. what has marriage got to so with favour? my neighbour that married early sleeps on the corridor floor anytime his in laws are around. the guy is really suffering and already has a child with his wife.one would pity the guy I swear. marriage attracts favour my foot. Zuckerberg wasn't married when he started making billions from Facebook and so many married people are poorer than church rat. many of them do wish they were bachelors again,they're really regretting rushing to marriage and what they dovia try to push other flexing bachelor's into it

just leave them....
how many jobs in Nigeria truly pay that sum...?
and can be gotten without connections and foreign degrees.....
for a young man from an humble background without no one to connect him but God.....
it will take quite some time to start earning that much.
reason why must ladies fall for married man...seeing them as complete package unknw to them... how long and how much sacrifice the woman by his side has put into his present success
