No need for upkeep money as she is free to take money from the joint accounts at her own discretion. Men use the monthly upkeep money as a tool to make women submit.
AIN'T WOMEN SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT?

I can’t even imagine not giving my wife upkeep money.
Working or not maybe because of my pride as the man of the house lol.

Then again can’t trust this women they be needing the slightest reason to cheat on you & i don’t want a “stingy husband” to be one.
You are a wise man. Leave them boys to be fooling themselves.

You know it costs 50K to run the home but you give her 30K and say "baby please manage" You can add "everything will be alright soon."Trust me that woman will add even 40K to supplement.

You stop being a man to your wife the day you start throwing logic of " you are working" on your wife.

Upkeep is not feeding money for the house, or money to run the home o. Let's not confuse the 2, now over to you...

Personally I’ve never fancied the idea. Myself and my brothers live with this ideology even in marriage and we ain’t sad about that.

Now ...general question

Does it make sense to give a working class woman monthly upkeep or whatever that stuff is called ? Upkeep should only come into the equation if your partner is a housewife or so....and doesn’t work shocked
Not having money makes one debate this... But truly she deserves an upkeep and nothing she owns is her private property.
You know a selfish woman from the point of dating...Please run away from her.

If she is cooking and cleaning and acting as sex machine and baby making machine and nanny, then the man must give her money. No ifs ands or buts.

Even if the guy hires a housemaid today to cook and clean and care for his kids he will still have to pay her but Nigerian men think women are God given slaves.

They want their wives to be housemaid and baby making machine and to also contribute financially while they themselves absolve themselves completely of any responsibility to the wife.

Yes, it should be one of your prerogatives. In a saner clime, a wife should be actively involved in footing some of the household expenses. It is also advised that a man appreciates his wife by giving her personal upkeep allowance. I am not married, but I think it would be romantic to have my husband fix me on a monthly allowance for
my upkeep.
Lmaoooo!

So your idea of 'romantic' is to be given monthly stipend?

If this thread is about personal allowance for wify after the husband has provided for the major part of the household expenses, then I would say it is not a regular thing in many households in this Naija.

Husbands usually just get their wives nice gifts once in a while or support their businesses financially once in a while.

Regular (monthly) cash allowances for working wives is a rarity presently o. Husbands are not finding providing the major part of the expenses for their families easy, you now want to add a flimsy thing as wify's personal allowance to it? Mbanu, kolework.

Abeg the working sisters that receive personal allowances regularly should indicate by commenting so that others can know if they are to review the present MOUs they signed with their significant others.

Tenkiu.
U just spoke my mind

I thought it is tradition for OPs or other forum participants to mention someone whose contribution to the discuss is sought after?

I've been a regular participant on this section and it is within reasonable expectations to get mentions on hot/controversial topics.

It's still within normalcy for someone to get a mention on a thread he/she has been a major participant or contributor even after a spell of inactivity by other participants of same thread.
Some lagacies are that enduring.
