tosyne2much:tosyne I used to think you're intelligent. and who told you secondary school students don't sleep around,rape,etc? what is stopping you from marrying now so that you wouldn't chase anything in skirt or raping around? leave bachelors alone and go into marriage if you want to. marrying early or late has nothing to do with creating nuisance or whatever. everybody has his own plans. to some,a 24 year old guy must be married,to some,a 26 year old guy marrying is late marriage,different strokes for different folks 2 Likes |

Alikote:my guy,my married neighbour sleeps on the mat at the corridor whenever his wife's relatives are around,he vacates the one room he lives with his wife for them. I once sent this guy to fill my gas cooker for me and he stole part of my money and threw the receipt in a tyre for me not to know the actual amount just to feed his family,you should see how this guy complains bitterly whenever he wants to buy their baby's pampers. no rest of mind for him because he borrows money to take care of his family at times if there is no money,and yet,other older married men usually say he has not seen anything yet that it would get to a time he would feel like he's just fetching water into a basket and feel like running away when they have their second child and children start school and all. A caretaker that rented my shop to me advised me not to rush into marriage. he said he rushed into marriage and now he's in his 40's,he is struggling so hard,sold his car for him to pay his children's school fees when they entered higher institution and upkeep,one child even had to wait for another . he said the reason he's so backward is because he rushed into marriage. his salary is not bad but raising family in Nigeria requires preparing well before marriage. there is nothing like favour coming after marriage o,its pure lie and African formulated fallacy. most marriages I've seen are not like that at all,only few men become successful after marriage and its because they're on the way to success even before marriage or just lucky. married men that didnt prepare well before marriage are the ones that are feeling this recession most,I do pity them. lots of married men that didn't prepare well always do soughts of illegal stuffs even after salaries just to take care of family,send them to buy you something,they would always try to steal part of your money and tell you the wrong price,many of them have done that to me 3 Likes |

humilitypays: How i wish life can be calculated like this 90k for feeding just 2 people in a month? The last time a check a 50kg bag of rice is 18,800 naira which two people cannot finish in four months, and buying other feed items and soup ingredients will not cost more than 30k, though I will advice that one shouldn't go into marriage without a nice job coupled with a side business to sustain the family when salary is shaking or not coming at all. 3 Likes |

Laralag post=58682937]It is true that there are lots of mature single sisters in our society today, it is also true that there are loads of single men in our society. could it be that men not settling down is the reason most women are still single. Most of the men we dated as undergraduate migth still be single 10years afer leaving school ( I know a lot). Most men I have asked, excuse boils down to money even though they have jobs. This brings me to my question how much should a man be earning before he should start thinking of marriage all things being equal. 300k is perfect |

iamrealdeji: From your write-up you said something about preparation, I will like to say something about that, there is a popular saying that failure to plan is planning to fail, if you want to succeed make a plan and be deligent with what you are doing, work with the right people and you will be surprise at how fast you will be successful, know matter how local your environment is there are people who are making it real big legally there, why not study them and take a clue from what they are doing, like I always say been a graduate is not a guarantee that one will be successful because we overate certificate in this part of the world 80% of graduates want to work in a multi-national company forgetting that the said company started from the scratch by someone and again we graduates claim too big to do some menier jobs which gives high return because the said job will not make you look clean, take a look at the Northern part of the country life is a bit cheaper there compared to the other parts especially agricultural produce, there was a time a bag of onions is 2,500 naira where as the same bag sells for as high as 6000 to 10000 in Lagos and some other part of the country and the cost of transporting it to anywhere is not more than 1000 to 2000 naira, let's say you are making 1000 naira on a bag and you are able to sell 25 bags in a month as an wholesaler that is 25000 add that to your monthly income and you will see the difference, I am saying this not because I am better or because I am wise but most people will stop huzzling after marriage trying to measure up or compete with an already established man, my own take on the issue is marriage will not make you rich or poor what will make you rich or poor is your mentality and the ability to see opportunity wherever you find yourself but most importantly have a projected plan and a source of income before going into marriage. |

blip:typical lazy Nigerian lady. Don't go and make your money to spend wisely, be looking for someone else's to. Most Nigerian women don't really contribute financially into a marriage, always having the mind set that marriage is a career. @op, marry a working class lady who contributes Financially into the marriage and not a lady can contributes with only sex. If sex is what you want, go get some slay queen of Instagram, if marriage is what you want, go get a working class lady. Gone at the days when wife materials were based on how homely and how good a lady can cook. These days are all about the survival instinct. Instead of marrying a woman solely because she can cook and sex, why not take that money to a restaurant and also get some slay queen who will do a lot better in their various specialty. Woman way no fit contribute financially, that one na wife material? 3 Likes |

Being realistic is the deal here, both the man and woman need to have contributory capacity. Between then, N200k is a good start. |

It all depends on where the couple plan to settle down the standard of living in Lagos state is different from that of other states but should be a minimum of 300k combined (Wife and Husband) for a start tho |

iamrealdeji:Please always try to pass your message across in a subtle manner without employing insults to have a solid ground during an argument. I made my own opinion on the subject matter and I never pointed a gun at you to subscribe to it. And yes, late marriage is one of the reasons why we have all sorts of sexual immoralities these days. The alarming rate of promiscuity in this generation is usually borne out of youthful exuberance and that's why we have fairly a large number of runs girls, slay queens and fucck boys. In fact, in the olden days, most of our mothers married as virgins because they married early and there was no time to slay around, unlike now that most most ladies within the age range of 18-20 will never want to be in a committed relationship because they're still busy following anything on trouser and living a life of fantasies So, when I said late marriage is one of the reasons why there is high rate of immoralities, I know what I'm saying # Anyway, I'm entitled to my opinion# 1 Like 1 Share |

Today generation fear lack of money than GOd. Some people are saying if you dont earn up 150 to 250k don't near marriage. Because if do you wont leave your dream live. But that income less than 100k is enough to fornicate and get different chicks. Some people are swiming in fornacation today and happy thinking they enjoying their life. Which make them no thinking of marriage at all. Is good to have plans and set a standard of living but everyone of us just live with grace of GOd. Everybody are not luck to be financially okay at early stages of life no matter how try they are but when GOd's time come it would beyond his imagination. So marry when feel and happy to so when you meet your missing ribs . |
