Your own even better na. Shebi you don wan marry.
My own 24 year old babe says she's not ready for marriage. Me at 30 is confused now. I don't even have the luxury of time to find a new relationship. I just tire for this marriage matter make I no lie you. Sometimes I think it is never gonna happen.

Knack her belle
Or she feels u are not financially ready yet

Godislove1234:
To all of you shouting money money money... What happens if with one bad financial decision you go totally bankrupt... What will happen to the woman whom you impressed and bought with your money? Hope she will still be with you when nothing dey again? I'm not surprised because most guys on nairaland believe that all women are after money. Please check the Proverbs 31:10 woman. They still exist. And guess what they're not impressed about your money. If you're not valuable they won't even consider you. Please to guys with such mindset grow up! A man who needs only money in order to appeal to a woman is still a child. Real men possess value first and real women recognize value before money. So guys it's not me you're actually mad at. It's yourselves

Oga thats a different case ...no body open their eyes and enter bad car for a journey

If a fine car can break down if u are on unlucky ...but entering a smoking car for a long journey is madness

You deserve a 12 year ban just like Orji Uzor Kalu. Using one monicker to comment and placing your alternative monicker to like the comment is really an advance and incurable stage of madness

Badt guy u dey shoot your shot abi

Yes, ooo. I wan enter papa mode in the new year ooo.

I wants to let all and sundry to know that a good Ibo family can pay for the expenses of their daughters marriage.

Thiwalade:
That's very good! Many times when I think of marrying this my igbo babe(I'm yoruba) I sometimes wonder how much it'll cost me. This lady definitely worth every penny honestly but the way Nigeria is now doesn't give room for too much spending especially for upcoming men.

igbo girls are good.

sandland:

In an ideal world, yes, but not in this hardship.

You go pay tire.

I'm Igbo from Imo State. Never seen a family who did what you are dreaming about.

My brother just wish me well. Everyone can't have the same experience.

I like you brother. You're good

Godislove1234:
I am quite a young man in my late 20's. There's this lady whom I love so much. She's from one of these eastern states in Nigeria. She's very beautiful, very godly and still a virgin. We've been together for about two years now but no money for marriage. The reason is because it is quite expensive to get married in their state.

I told her to inquire from her parents how much I may need for the marital rites she called me back and said about 500k (na just to manage be that o). So I said ok. 500k is actually a small amount but when you try to get it and you cannot, then it will suddenly become like 500 million to you. So I started putting in more efforts to raise the money but na lie the money no wan show.

Guess what I did today? I called her up and after talking about other issues I finally told her that I can't keep waiting to raise that amount of money. I have been depressed about it for some time now but I couldn't tell her because I didn't want her to get bothered. So I told her to go tell her parents that what I can raise by God's grace is 200k. If they approve, I'll come but if not make she go look for another man marry. Before now she has been asking me to come with anything I have but I kept saying no and the reason is that you can't just show up at someone's house and tell them that you've come to pick up their daughter with the little amount you have. So guess what? Just like magic they agreed to what I said (even though I wasn't expecting it to go that way). She sent me the text confirming her parent's approval. For me its a big miracle. If I should tell you the state in question you won't believe it.

So here's my advise to you all who want to get married to the love of your life but no money... Make you and the Babe get strong head work together or else her village people go dey delay una marriage because they want something elaborate. It's good to be stubborn I tell people. Both of you should come up with a plan (not to get her pregnant o. I don't support that please). But the plan will be carried out by your woman. She should stubbornly insist incase the parents are the difficult type, that this is the man she wishes to marry and if they don't let her she will remain single for ever (parents especially mothers dey fear that kind talk) if it doesn't work think of something else.

Just keep trying or else two of una go dey there old. But above all please put God first. He can make even the most hardened of men become soft for your sake. He may not send you all the money you need to fulfil what's in the list but He can make her parents accept you the way you are. It is called favour. What you need is the approval and blessings from both parents nothing more.

Forget village people. They too like eating and drinking. Remember that if you spend all the money in your account just to get married you and your wife will starve after the wedding. And to those who are insisting on white wedding please stop being foolish. White wedding is just a mere celebration just to fulfil all righteousness. If you have the money for it, fine. If not, no kill yourself. Don't keep your woman or man waiting.

Take a bold step today and God will meet you guys halfway. But whatever you do PLEASE don't marry a lazy woman. With this is mind, its just a matter of time you guys will succeed. Two good head are better than one. All the best guys. One love.

Pls white wedding is not just a wedding to fulfil all righteousness. Pls let's be guided.

Did you think if a guy was saying that money is the problem that makes him to be single now did you think he can't afford the money for marriage.

Amanda4life:



Let him not rejoice yet until he starts the process.

Parents are funny.

They may just collect that one from you and then tell you to go and bring more.


Can we bet?
Do you know how much pampers the your woman wore?

Not talk of cost of other care.


See even the religious parents they like better thing.

R dey selling their daughter ?

This is definitely true... I have a friend who did his with 90k. He pleaded with the girls parents that that's what he has and they accepted....
The huge some on that list is another test on the groom.
Me, as I dey here I want they raise morning bynext year take settle down last last.

God bless you!!!
Let me try this.

Love is all that matters. Lucky u have an understanding girlfriend and future in-laws.

People are still talking about marriage. Everybody just dey vex me

Godislove1234:

My brother just wish me well. Everyone can't have the same experience.

He actually has a point and he isn’t wishing you bad either. You just started the process, in as much as you are being optimistic, what he is just advising is for you to keep your mind open when some crazy requests from in-laws starts coming. I am currently at the stage you are now just that I have collected list and have even started buying the list items. Bro, that 200k no be anything. Trust me

kelvindj98:

I thought I was the only one irritated by that. Someone who doesn't have 500k, and probably borrowed to get that 200k is talking about marriage, and will bring children into the world.
And we wonder why we are still a 3rd world country. It's not just about standard of living, but mentality as well.
An average millennial in a first world won't even dream about marriage without having a sizeable chunk of money in the bank and a blossoming career.
But here, someone wacking garri will sit down and think marriage is the next thing.
I think a time will come when kids will openly abuse their parents for bringing them into this world to suffer.

Exactly my brother!

You’ve said it all!

We already know the state. No need hiding it.

so indirectly they're selling their pikin??

What he's saying is run the course first.

Let the girl be declared your wife before you give your testimony.

How can you pass an exam you didn't write or wrote but result hasn't been released.

We understand that adrenaline rush which many victims of 419 had before being swindled but take it easy.

Disclaimer: Unless you are saying you have finished with the rites and she's now yours.

I have taken time to read all comments. Lol OP, The same formula I applied the year I wanted to get married.The truth is that marriage is a mysterious thing if you allow God to lead. Guys money is not everything when it comes to marriage. You may have all the money and still won't have peace in the marriage if you marry the wrong person. In fact, it is better to start marriage when the two of you had nothing and grow together. Take it or leave it, marriage open DOORS if you believe in the word of God that says" He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord" Marriage makes you to double your hustle when you are faced with responsibilities.
Op, please go head with your plans and don't let all these boys shouting Money, Money, hustle o to deceive you. Spoilt generation! Nobody wants to be contempt and grow financially.
May God bless your union in Jesus name.
