@op, I am not bothered about your salary as I believe a man doesn't need to earn 400k before he settles down as some teenagers here will make you believe. However, I am bothered that you want to settle with that amount at your age when you can still improve your finances and career.
I better improve on my career.

*sigh*

If you guys really love each other, you should marry lowkey in court and end matters there.

Do a quick projection into the future, say 3-5 years. Where do you want to be? Only you can answer that question. Truth is, even if this thread enters page 20, a bunch of strangers cannot influence and/or determine your own future. Only you can.
sighs* better to plan for what's coming. thanks so much!

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 ?
Marriage will not stop you from pursuing your career

Settle down now esp as you have a working gf you will be glad you did.

I wish I married at your age 28, imagine that you will grow with your children. By the time you are 50 all your children are almost graduates.

Those that married late used pensions to train children grin grin

Earning 100k in Ibadan is like earning 500k in Lagos, bro give it a shot

Can you do both? Because one might not wait for the other. If you go for one out of the two you may lose the other one.

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
Enough time??Going by your assertion,dude should just build a career first cause he still has ENOUGH time before getting a family

Many Nigerians live in a fantasy land.They think life is all about 1+1.Thats why we pray and hope without doing jack shiit.Always hoping everything will be ok.This is Nigeria where 100k cannot even settle bills talk more of starting a family with it.And theres nothing like Time in marriage.We are not Americans who can get married and decide not to have kids.Once you get married,Kids are the next thing.Even if he doesn't want them due to his pockets,pressure from family and soceity must come in.And he must succumb to the pressure.What then happens when the wife starts popping out kids??You will train 2-3kids or even 1 kid with monthly income of 100k??

Op you know why men die before women and our life expetancy is very low in this country??Because when they start making small money,they feel they are ready to marry.By the time responsibilities start bitting them hard,stress and all those headaches will knock you off.peace

Ask yourself the following questions:

1) Do you have enough fund to start and complete your Masters degree?

2) Is your babe ready to share costs and expenses with you equally?

3) Are you secure enough to watch your "wife" take more responsibilities at home(financially) than you do?

Let me stop here.
Thanks... this will really help me in my decision, thanks so much!

Have u even proposed to the girl?
How sure are u she will marry u?
Have not proposed to her to marry me, but of recent we have been talking about how it will work out, it's all in my hands now... she seems ready, but don't want to start what I won't e able to finish because seems there is more to marriage hearing from people that are already in it.

Go for a career so you can get a better job and save up .. this will also give you time to mature

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
Age does not denote maturity.

Share cost? few women will agree to that. Highest she will contribute/ help where and when she wants. If he treats her well he can be borrowing from her money for their upkeep with a promise to pay back in future grin

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.

It depends on taste and location dear. 110k combined is okay to start a family in Ibadan.

"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

Thanks for sharing

You could discuss with your fiancee

However it really boils down to YOU

What's your vision of your life?

This may sound like a "heavy" question for a young man to consider, but the earlier you get clear about what you REALLY want to do, the easier it is to avoid compromising to all the ulterior motives out there

Peace, bro

Thanks again
I appreciate, thanks a bunch!

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.
Alright... thanks so much!

Settle for marriage career...is an occupation. On a serious note...face your career now and enjoy later....is difficult studying at old age...I am talking from experience. That doesn't mean you should end your relationship....you can marry later
