WTF did i just read? You spent money you did not have to do a wedding? Whats worse, you are encouraging others to follow suit. Carry on! You basically expected others to bankroll your wedding (at best)/get in debt (at the worst). Continu!
whao:


Let me share my experience and I hope people will learn.

I started working with a Federal government agency in 2013 earning N45k and in 2016 my salary got to 50k. I am of age to marry but I have been thinking of how to get money for the celebration, I have a super girl that has all quality a REAL wife should have, not all this girl's mentioning 150-450k which it's their choice anyway. My then girl friend now my super wife encourage me to forget money and start planning with the little I have.

Note: she was just a corper and still putting pressure on me but I later reason with her and set the preparation rolling in July and fix date for December 31st 2016. A month to the wedding I have done virtually nothing, I mean nothing and had no savings and I refused to borrow. I went ahead to booked for a hall worth N450k, and N300k for food and N150k for drinks because just wanted to celebrate at least just this once in my life. A week to my wedding someone paid for the hall, a day later someone took the food and then drinks and infact my wedding was a success and the bet in my city with dignities in attendance that a governor and a senator attended which I never invited.

Now, my salary is almost 60k and seriously I am proud am a husband, father sooner, living in a very comfortable house and atleast I do better than some men earning 300k, right now I don't lack food, I am mobile and So happy I am married.

I advice men and women waiting for the big job and money to lay off that pride and get married and face reality of life.
There is blessing in marriage and still counting.


Shalom

In present day Nigeria under president Buhari/Osinbajo, you need at least NGN200,000 monthly to live a basic life and live in a decent 2-bedroom apartment in a low income city area in Nigeria.

But if your wife to be is working and earning at least NGNG100,000 monthly, that is very okay to start a family with her...if not, it won't be that easy with the current inflation.

Mathematically:

House rent per annum = NGN350,000; NGN30,000 monthly

Monthly feeding with your wife alone = NGN3000 x 30 = NGN90,000 monthly feeding

Other daily expenditures + helping family members, etc = NGN100,000 monthly

Clothing and others monthly = NGN50,000

Total projected/estimated monthly expenditures = NGN30,000 + NGN90,000 + NGN100,000 + NGN50,000 = NGN270,000

So with an income of NGN270,000 monthly, u can start a decent home with your wife to be, good luck smiley
. ha feeding monthly for just two people 90k , wettn una dey eat like that na , DonBobes come oh

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.


Just enough to keep the family affloat(roof over the head,basic NEEDS and not wants...) This is relative to environment amongst other factors. It may be 100 naira per month in Abuja (for instance) and then less than 100 naira in Kaduna.
