If you love yourself go and improve your life. Unless your gf is extremely understanding. Most women hide their true colours until they get the ring, so be careful. Marriage ain’t no joke.
This is very reasonable, very true

People are wicked o o o, advising your fellow guy to settle down with a salary of 50k shocked

He's earning 50k ..his wife to be is earning 60k.

They can't run a home with a joint income of 110k?

You people will just be spewing bullshît. There are people who are earning 25-30k monthly yet they have families, own houses and some even maintain their own cars.

You never disappoint.


Any man entering into marriage with you should sign a prenup or else. ...

"Nigerian girls can't marry a man without money, they don't believe in humble beginnings"... yet when they see a Nigerian girl ready to begin with them, they start second-guessing and discouraging themselves.

Confusion... grin

I advise men to get married from age 30 years minimum, that way you are more matured and less likely to act like a brat in marriage

You know what is best for you.

As for me, marriage is not a thing I'm thinking of now, money or good earning is the koko, it boost your personality that girls will be rushing you.

I'm a of dude of about 28 years, I just finished my NYSC program and I secured a job that pays me about 50k, my girlfriend who is about 25 years too just acquired a job that pays her about 60k per month too.

Is it advisable I go for M.Sc. program or just settle down for marriage with my girlfriend and then follow my career later.

We both stay at Ibadan, the city is averagely okay.

What's your take ?

Thank God you did NYSC.

Go for what you want or go for both, all the best! grin

Hello Mr.

If you will be candid with yourself and be manly. I will ask you to talk to your wife to be and allow her have a say in your decision. Master's money, certificate is not in anyway equal to your life. Your life starts properly when you start to face challenges that require manly thinking. Master's can't even promise you a better life for your family. You will leave the certificate in 15 years time when you have 5 things to do all at the same time and the salary is not even close to it and you both cant leave your work to attend to the major things in your life.

Don't try to win this argue with your madam ooo. That's my advice to you.

In my own opinion, being married does not stop you from acquiring your MSc. Though this might be tough when you try to combine it with raising kids think about it.
Having a wife stops you from unnecessary expenses and make you focus more on your future,your Msc does not determine your success in life bro but family is what you retire home to meet........Ciao

If you can get married and not make babies for the first few years, say first 4yrs... please go ahead and get married, Take a small apartment not more than 200k/annum... chase your careers for the first few years... do not let friends and families pressure either of you into anything.
One of the most brilliant ideas ever from this thread...seriously they still have enough time to plan their lives..so if the woman is mature and understanding in terms of being ready to be a 50/50 partner in the marriage or step in even when oga money nor show on time without making the mans life a living hell..I think they can give it a shot...She might be a good girl he wouln't want to pass him bye

Re: Should I Go For Marriage Or Career? by Gabriel99: 1:12pm On Sep 20, 2018
I'll advice you to get married if only you are ready. You can be running your MS.c while you're married. It's called proper planning.
In the other hand if you go for masters, you'll release later, that while the program is running you would have actually started developing a young family and building your career. Kill a bird with two stones. Time waits for no man.
God will direct you in the right steps to take.
Re: Should I Go For Marriage Or Career? by akdjr(m): 1:15pm On Sep 20, 2018
I advise you settle down right away! You can acquire skills and forget that shit called masters. Tom Vendetta earn far more than what Master degree holders earn just with his skills and yet he's not a master degree holder. If you are a good observant of the current world jobs now, you will realize that college is loosing its value gradually. A good skill you acquire within 6months can put you on an enviable career position rather than spending 4-6 in uni and still thinking about masters.

You can do any other thing you want to do aside settling down now..it's not something you can handle with that income and your wife is going to disrespect you when the time comes.you are just 28..give yourselves 5 years more then you will be 33 so you can save up money and start something good and also have better understanding about marriage.
Re: Should I Go For Marriage Or Career? by talk2saintify(m): 1:19pm On Sep 20, 2018
All of you shouting 110k Monthly allowances cant start a family nawa for una ooo!!

Like Seriously many couples in Nigeria earn way below that and still train their children in school. When did marriage become a industry that you need to have above 300k or more monthly to manage...Hmmm!!!

Well, If I will Advise you M.Sc is just a title as far as Nigeria is concern, getting a (Well paid) Job after your Masters is not 100%, I know many people with Masters degree and are still siting at home for over 5-10years now. Anyways If M.sc is so Important to you I think you can join your masters with marriage, you and your wife can live for the first 2-3 years without having babies until you're done with you degree and well settled, then you can start having kids. Hopefully you may get a increase in your salary or a better job before then.

Haba mana...you don't need to propose to a lady to know if she would marry you or not...proposal is just a mere formality.

It depends.
Will an M.SC degree guarantee you a better career prospect or is it a requirement for career advancement in your field?
If yes, go for it.
If no, work towards getting a better job and delay your marriage till you are 30 or plus years old.
Thanks, I'll put that to mind

A variety of options,

1) Go for career, who marriage help?
2) Get married, and get your masters but delay on the kids yet cos when kids come in, your life practically ends
Very true, didn't see it that way before.

wunmi590:
On my own little contribution, i would advice that you still hold on with both your marriage and MS.c for now, so that you can make more money.

If you start your MS.c, you will still need money, so don't rush on MS.c now, or else you have somebody who wants to sponsor you, and beside, even with MS.c somebody still has to pray for God's favor to get job.

I had my introduction 1st of this month, and preparing my wedding very soon, and i am earning 6 figures, but i am still not content, because of the high cost of Lagos.

If you can get a better job with a better pay, you can go ahead with your plan, but with that 50k, bros, please be patience.
Thanks so much for your advice
