Maybe I should have added quit your job and become an 'entrepreneur'.

Those yeye people that can make you use a finger to carry a trailer. cheesy

[b]One of the biggest decisions that you will make in your life is to choose the man or woman that you will marry. People take it lightly but it can make or break your life. So, with all the ambition and the vision that you have, with all the dreams that your parents have for you, if you marry the wrong guy or the wrong girl, everything can be derailed one way or the other. So, don’t play with it. Don’t marry a fool, whether male or female.

Have a sense of who you are and when you have a sense of who you are, you will understand who is fit for you as the lord leads you. You will know that it’s not about naira or kobo; it’s not about silver and gold. The son of a rich man is not a rich boy because only the one that has the cash flow has the money.

What’s the best thing that will happen? They have a big wedding. They didn’t have it for you; they had it for their own image. They will give you a house and many cars on day one, all the cars will get old at the same time and if you do not have the capacity to maintain or to keep them, you’re already in trouble.

Cash flow is the money you need to do everyday not for the wedding ceremony. So, marrying the son of a rich man is not your solution.

Seek to find the bone of your bone who can accommodate the vision and the ambition in your heart as a person. Who can be an enabler for you to emerge, who can encourage and support you. He might not look like it right now but just understand that people manifest in seasons.

Don’t allow anybody to deceive you. Look for a man that fears the lord. A man who is responsible and right thinking, he has vision and ambition. I guarantee you, you will show up somewhere and you will be glad you met him.

There are many that have seemed like it when we were young; many of those that seemed like it did not emerge to be it. So, you cannot tell who this person will become but you can test his character, his person, his commitment, his truthfulness, his love for you and his ability to hold and to encourage you.

Especially for the girls, God made them male and female. Every promise of God is for you as it is for the male. God meant for you to fully manifest yourself. Be the best of yourself, not the best of another person at every stage of your life [/b].

The above is Ibukun Awosika verbatim.

1. The emphasis can never be wrong if a woman contributes to the net income of her home.

2. Are you implying that working is a man’s “burden” alone in the 21st century? undecided

3. Should men also place the “wrong emphasis” on work while the women work 10% on their careers and 90% on their families?

4. Are you referring to “married women with children” only?

5. What exactly is YOUR definition of “FAMILY”?

6. In the words of “Gifty”. . . . . . “I am NOT UNDERSTANDING”. . . . . ? ? ? ?

1. Waters have passed under the bridge however, this thread is not about marriage. It is about women (I write to women alot) not investing too much in their jobs/work forgetting it is a means to an end. It is a call to find what her purpose is and fulfill it. The thread is bore out of the ongoing pandemic and the resultant loss of jobs. My people would say 'soldier come, soldier go, barrack go remain.' Working is helping our bosses build their dreams, let's go find ours.

2. Nope. I am giving them further reasons not to focus all on work.

3. A man rarely places his emphasis on work in the first place. A man works to feed his family; that is why you hear 'make money and women would follow you'; 'don't marry until you make money bla bla'. I can not place a ratio however, we should fulfill our purpose and build our families while at it. Before transitioning to our purpose, we need to take our work diligently. No excuse for sloppiness or shoddiness at work. If one cannot excel at another man's business with constant management, how would one deliver her purpose with minimal or no supervision?

4. No, all women. I know young women fitting into their purpose before marriage sef.

5. Family is family: Husband, wife & children (biological & adopted {officially or unofficially})

6. Gifty is known to be a beautiful liar. grin

None. But your inferences are never direct and loaded with ambiguity.

You see?

It is not what you DID NOT WRITE that is the problem , but YOUR SUBTLE INNUENDOS of what you mean.

We can always read between the lines.

I asked you for clarification and you ignored my questions to you.

Do you remember this posts of mine from page 1-3 asking you to explain what message you were trying to send. Your subsequent responses were even more evasive and derailing. The more we asked for some clarifications, the more you disingenuously digressed and jumped from side topic to side topics

Then to add insult to injury, some “adventurous IDs” sprung up to DERAIL you as usual. Having led you astray with their baseless hi-fivings-and-divings, your lost control of YOUR OWN THREAD and became extremely disoriented. Even when multiple posters gave you your due respect, you tried to insult their intelligence.

If we did not fine your topics interesting or entertaining, we would not be posting on it.


She is beating around the bush again. Now her thread was never about marriage but these were her opening lines:

I see, hear and read a lot of ladies been advised to 'face their career (which is actually work sef) and think of marriage later'.

Or just the short form 'career before marriage'.

grin


Like you said, she thinks she is talking to preschoolers.
