If in his 40s he still doesn't have a stable source of income then he needs to go and beg his village people to release his destiny.

[s]Baba, a man who wants to get married and is above 40 and still waiting to be rich has done himself a huge disservice. Although you need money to start a home, you should know that no amount of money is sufficient for a young, ambitious man. There are many ladies looking for a man to just propose and let them foot the bill. This might appear surprising but it is what obtains in our society today. Or better still, and against the sanctimonious postulations of societal moral watchdogs, you can impregnate any lady of your chioce, meet the family and truthfully express willingness to marry their daughter. That way, you will be inexorably energised to begin the journey, knowing what lies ahead.

It is not only women that are routinely pressurised -- and sometimes taunted -- by the society when they reach certain age and remain unmarried. Even though the society tends to be over-sensitive to issues concerning women, the pressure men who are due for marriage but ain't married go through are not acknowledged by anyone. That is the price to pay for our highly embedded patriachial structure.[/s]

This has been puzzling my mind for so long, when a man is in his 40s people will be saying some sorts of things like ‘ hey guy u r overdue get a wife, do something.....’
but we all know money is very important to raise a family.

A man must be able provide a conducive environment for his family, send his children to good schools etc.....

As for me I don’t believe in marriage without money, even if one is 60 without money just forget it

NOT EAST TO BE A MAN.

A man in his 40s and can't feed himself and others is one that has a family problem. Things are not normal. I will advice such a person to go on 21 days dry fasting. No food or water, just prayers. His life will never be the same again

No wonder the poverty rate in Nigeria keeps increasing. A man who hasn't found his footing in his 40s should not aspire to get married and if he does, it should be strictly for companionship and not procreation. I don't get it, the man is indigent yet has marriage at the top of his scale of preference? What sort of nonsense is that? Well, like I always say; never will I be responsible for someone's irresponsibility. Ta!

tensazangetsu20:

There are millions of such men in Nigeria. It's not a spiritual thing. People graduate from school and are unemployed for years.

I see some comments and I just walk by.

Someone said a man who is barely surviving should go on a 21 day dry fasting, can u see wickedness masked in Christianity?

Nigerians and religion, God forbid!!

Imagine what they would have told those 5000 men that Jesus fed.

tensazangetsu20:

The best thing is to leave this country when young o. Because so many people in that situation today are there not because of any fault of theirs but because of their environment which will get worse.

Lol. Oga, na person wey dey manage 50k salary go fit travel?

The question should be "why would a man in his forties still be financially handicapped?"

What has he been doing for the past thirty five years?

By age 40, a man should be certain of a certain amount that enters into his account every month, even if it's 50k.

If a man is still broke at 40, he'll end up marrying a girl he doesn't love. Cos at that point, he'll only marry his fellow evening news paper, AKA desperate singles. For those ones, at that age, any mature man with a preek is very ok. No more tall, dark, rich and handsome. All you need to do is show interest.

You go de enjoy her in cash and in kind.
