Idiot!!! That's why most of the ladies seeking high income men normally enter menopause before they get married, then later they blame God for not having children.

And some fools will start insulting her here. How can a man support his family with 50k a month for goodness sake. A man earning 50k should be looking for a way to improve his earnings not a wife. As the economy is now a wife should be his least concern. I support this lady 100%. For those of you that want to die in poverty, or any man that is looking for a woman that will be feeding him can support her.

To each their own.

so, because a woman is scared of reaching menopause she should put herself into poverty right? I think you are the "idiot" here bro not the lady.

Shes probably thinking how 50k would be able to foot her dream wedding.

Let me tell a story of this lady I know. She had a baby for a man who later dumped her. Then she had another baby for a young guy. This young guy wanted to write her but she didn't agree because he wasn't rich. She was also relying on her beauty to get a wealthy guy.
To cut the story short, this young guy now resides in Italy, and just got married this year.

I didn't need a prophet to tell the level of regret in this lady now has about dumping her baby Daddy.

Finally, the day money becomes your priorty in Life, thats the day you begin to lose that life.

Ahhhh.... Who be this guy... After reading ur last sentence, it has changed some tot of me... Thanks brother for that word... Av been schooled..

Other than cheap smelly pussy,

what does this dumb bitch bring

to the table?....


#dumb as Bleep entitlement mentality!

realestniggah:
Look at people up there criticising her.. But is she wrong though.. What kind of life do you have planned for your family if you not earning more than 50k honestly?

If U are unmarried, continue deceiving urself. A lot of people who are big academically today married when they were teaching in schools where they are paid 15k

franchasng:
In as much as we will all try to attack and condemn the lady for saying such, there is lot of truth in what she wrote, and I will explain:

Back in the days of our fathers, there was no GSM, no internet, no cable TV, so it was never necessary for a man or woman to own a mobile phone, buy internet data, buy airtime, pay for cable TV like DsTV or GoTV or Star Times, etc. In fact there was no need to have a fridge/freezer before you get married because there were electricity only in few parts of Nigeria, mostly the cities, and only less than 20% of Nigerians then lived in the cities, and maybe less than 5% of those city dwellers owned a TV set, a fridge/freezer.

There was no need to own a washing machine, only the elites did....there was no need for electric or gas cooker, no need to talk about owning a car to think of maintaining and fueling the car, only few elites owned cars.

Back then, all schools were government owned, private schools were seen as useless schools for dull people, and most government schools then were free, the ones that needed to be paid for were peanuts...so you don't need to stress to send your children to school, all they needed was school uniform and books.

Back then, there were very few private hospitals, all existing reputable hospitals were all government owned and well equipped and competent, today is different....to take care of your wife's delivery and children health, you must pay through your nose if they must get adequate healthcare.

All the reputable schools now are owned by private individuals, and their tuition is on the high side that, someone earning that amount she mentioned can never be able to send his children to any good school, sadly that's the reality not what we wished was the reality


Before you can get married today and have a relatively happy home, you may need to rent a 1 bedroom flat at least, you will pay for electricity bill monthly, buy gas for cooking, pay for refuse collectors, pay estate or community security which was free in our father's time, you may need TV, GoTV which also requires monthly subscription, you must own a mobile phone, including your wife, and who will be buying the airtime, the internet data, maybe Buhari

Honestly, to live a decent life in Nigeria or run a decent, modest home in Nigeria now as a married man, you will need around 200,000naira monthly income, which is why every Nigerian lady now should make it a priority to have a job or a business or a trade or something earning her legal money of at least 50,000naira monthly before she accepts to marry any man.


Gone are the days ladies bring only their body to marriage, ladies your body is no longer enough, you must bring some money too....a monthly income!!!


That guy that replied her and saying he is earning 57,000 and he is married with 2 kids, he should also tell people about other ways he earns money to augment his 50k monthly salary; or he thinks we don't know how corrupt majority of Nigerian civil servants are, collecting kickbacks, bribes, and engaging in all forms of office corruption to makeup their low pay

He should also tell us if he doesn't get one or two financial help from one of his big brothers or uncles living somewhere else either abroad or in another city, so let him STFU that income is not enough to run a family in today Nigeria!!

If you are not earning enough income to raise a decent home, pls stay single, its not a crime to remain single, it is a crime to give birth to kids u can't train or give decent life, they will grow up to become societal problem and easy tools for crime/violence which is why Northern Nigeria and in fact Nigeria is so messed right now!


Stop giving birth to kids u can't train or hoping for your uncle or brother or sister or aunt or friend to train them for u, the world has changed, this is not 1980!!

What you just said is alright.
But how many Nigerians earn up to that.

elektra:
I wonder why some people think they possess some kind of authority to tell others how to live their lives.

] A girl I met from here told me this yesterday lol. She did not know I had long gotten another girl.

In her words "I can't date guy that is not financially ready" lol.

She does not have even 50k in her bank account. While I who she is telling that has spent as much as 2M for different causes...

You might wonder why should tell me such.. Here is why? I didn't succumb to her major financial request and I told her I can't cos I have some issues to resolve. Making request when she is still telling me she need to think about the relationship.

So she felt I am I can't meet her needs.

I am typing this while at a park to make delivery. Woke up as early as 4a.m

My only problem is I give people too much and barely have any left for myself.

By God's grace I know how much make this month from my hustle and now determined to keep the tempo going while cutting people off.

This same person has never worked in her life for any money... All she has is giving to her by people, I included.

Its not my nature mock people with their predicament.

I had a lot I would have told her that could send her straight into depression. I kid you not but for sake of her condition, I restrained cos I know she is not as strong as she tries to claim or make you believe.

I am dating someone else already who has never asked me for dime nor gotten even 20k from me in comparison to the girl above who had gotten quite more... Plus the new girl is professional nurse in making while our madam didn't not even finish. She (the new girl also worked or often search for works during holidays.

I don't need a leech in my life for real.

realestniggah:

I would never do it, but its still way more practical than 20k per month.

Jmk9292:
And what's the average a girl should earn before contemplating marriage?

She won't talk about that cos they believe man is a spender when it comes to marriage

Mumu brain

Wetin concern us men, ma una go first reach menoPause while waiting for us and when we have made it there is always one regina daniel waiting and willing to settle down with one ned. There is always one Nkiru syvanus willing to be a second wife to us. If you choose not to fall the above category you may then choose to be a Rita dominic, always singing Akon's music all Night because of to much do guy. Well last but not the least you may choose to be a Linda Ikeji and form Nichodemus to and collect long ting at Night. Or at most you can settle to be Aunty Kemi olunloyo who they now tag a problem to her fellow women. Its a mans world.

You have point...

But most of the girls that often make this comments are broke ass leeches...

Read my comment above this and see a similar story I shared.

fados4sure:

My brother with the way the country is going now, girls this days eyes dey chuke.
I told a girl that I'm a teacher & she asked what is my pay? I said #35k, she said I'm not hardworking that she can't date a lady guy

Abeg tell me you are joking?

So backward and archaic thinking; so its just the man that should provide for the home. So myopic!

Your location matters a lot.

A guy earning 100k in Lagos may think he earns little, while a guy that earns 50k in Gombe will be very grateful and comfortable.

You are very correct. I remember when living at Gombe State behind Gombe State University from 2013 - 2016, my salary then was 42k before it was increased to 46k. I was comfortable and even saving 25k every month to buy my first bike. My rent was 45k a year (a nice room and palour). Cost of living was low.

macklef:

How old are u, a total income of 500k may not still make u a middle class in the nigeria of today.
Depends majorly on the location they end up settling

A total income of N500k a month may not still make you middle class in Nigeria of today?

Na suffer go kill una. See as broke fools they insult am. Mugus. It's for your own good

This topic again

Is it your marriage?

What of a lady earning zero naira

Jmk9292:
And what's the average a girl should earn before contemplating marriage?

God bless you a million times over, Some women just feel so entailed. What's your ,contribution to marriage or they think because they 've got gap between the legs makes them all that.....

Yes, no one should die in poverty.

That's why you have to also support her in earning her own money!

Nonsense.

I guess the lady above is talking about the wedding. We often interchange it with marriage. I have made up my mind not to marry a Nigerian Lady and that has been my decision, don't get me wrong, they're good for dating parole but make no mistake marrying them.

We are often myopic in out thinking, will he earn 50k forever? Will he remain in tha position forever? In my field as at engineer, you get to a certain age and by reason of experience you become a consultant. What happens to marrying a 30-35year old man who can start having 1 or 2 kids early so u can enjoy them while you grow up with them.

Average life's expectancy in Nigeria for men is 55, so if majority of Ladies have this kind of stupid mindset, how long will the young man earn before he can break even, take care of his kids, try and please his ostentacious wife before dead comes knocking.

live and let live abeg, life is short, we'll not be here forever you know, besides we are still fighting with government to increase minimum wage to #30,000, so u better wage up to reality

Amarabae:
If the man is earning 50k monthly, the girl should have something doing that should be earning her atleast 25k monthly.
Both of them combined will be 75k and can be OK in starting a middle class family

Do you know what a middle class family is?

That lady is silly.

Say u will not marry a man earning so and so - that's your choice and wether u will get old and wrinkled before u renege or acheive your threshold is ur own matter. But don't come and tell us because u have data that "no man..". Are u the only girl in the world? Or ur standards or myopic paradigms is now the world s.i unit for what is and what isn't. If he earns 50k and the lady earns 40k and they live within their means, and plan, won't they live well and grow together as time progresses, other factors bin equal? I settle down tire.

elektra:

This. I also wonder why some people think they possess some kind of authority to tell others how to live their lives.

My brother the salary is not the issue. marry someone with a bright vision. Marry a business minded man. i earn 13500 naira when i ventured into marriage thing. The magic is that i am a street guy who knows virtually everything . i help people solve their problem so i get paid. i make money from different things.
All of una go remain single when all u think of is the money. Marry someone who got positive drive. instead of talk about business with your partner u will be digging for unneccessary facts.
You will never remain in one spot if you are the idea type. i moved from being a security to admin guy in a telecom company where i was a security. i got a pay rise a year after joining. Ladies follow the smart guy who talk and do what he says.
dont go for someone that will crash and just remain there . test your guy with business, see how he or she reasons . too much religion has eaten into us we forget marriage is all about pratical.
I am into many things despite working in a sound environment. That free or surprise earning help stabilize the home. cost of living is so high in this country . kindly look for a busy minded man. who got a lot of abilities to achieve something with little.
Wake up the salary is not enough. Your creative will solve all your financial deficiency.

But she's right. Marriage has huge financial responsibilities and obligations attached to it. It's not a one day event but a lifetime event that can send someone into bankruptcy if not well planned. Let's be realistic, 50k cannot comfortably take care of rent and feeding for a bachelor, not factoring the cost of additional person. Remember your wife has to be taken care and also look good. And when the babies start coming, they too must be taken care of as well as the woman who has to eat well in order to breastfeed them. Taking care of a baby gulps a minimum of 20k for monthly upkeep. Not as if it's impossible but If you must marry with an income of 50k, you must have other means of livelihood that can generate additional income so that even if the wife is jobless, one can comfortably cater for the entire need of the family. That what makes a man.

Misleading advice!

70% of Nigerians don't even earn up 50k per month, so does it mean those getting married every Saturday earn above 50k?
