As an introvert, I can't cope with an extrovert...

Miami11:
If your family is still deciding stuff for you, then marriage is not for you

My dear, this is Africa, weather we like it or not we need the blessings of our parents before marriage, even the Bible says "honor your mother and father so your days might be long"...

adeememman:
just follow ur mind and treat her daughter like yours. Lobatan.

What if my family doesn't support it?

tripplephi:

Can any one here tell me the issues involved in dating or marrying a single mom? What are the pros and cons? The lady in question has a 7 year old daughter.

She needs to watch the movie "think like a man but act like a lady"

sparkleRed:
Can u just keep quiet? Seriously mtchewww

Smh, you think money grows on trees...

ritababe:
okay i will go and date another person and use his money to buy u tab.

Its girls like you that end up in abusive marriage all because of money...

porshuch:
It seems you're a new father, her list is ok for first baby, you've not started spending yet, when the baby arrives is when you will spend x3 of these, because you will start buying diapers almost every week or two weeks, baby milk is around 2500, and the baby can finish one tin under 3days. So get ready and be a man, it's your responsibility now!

Baby milk? When un says exclusive breast-feeding for at least 6 months? Come how old are you?

NORAD:
My wife just handed me this list. It's a list of what she wants to get for our soon-to-be-born daughter.

My only problem here is that she won't tell me how much each of those items cost, so I don't really know how much to give her.

Can an experienced lady/father in the house please tell me how much to give her for this long list of items? Thank you in advance.

My brother don't let anyone here deceive you, the list is not up to 50k even with the dollar crash, I have 4 nephews and we didn't spend up to 50k for the list there, the only expensive thing is the hospital bill, just pray it is not by c section, (Although most doctors will prefer it due to the profit they will get)

saltoftheearth0:
This is really shocking to read. 50k? Mr man . are not ready or it hasn't hit you yet.take like 300k to buy baby thing and you still wont see what you have bought trust me you haven't started.

I bet it that you are not married, 300k?just to buy what the op listed? What is this generation turning to?

queenfav:
This thread ought to be on frontpage,to enlighten people about the financial responsibilities to be prepared for in marriage.It is not enough to get married now because;
1.You want to start having kids early (They will drink akamu and salt when you don't prepare well enough for them).
2.My parents are on my neck.When bills start coming from left and right,I doubt if any relative would assist you.
This is an eye opener indeed.I am saving this thread to show my man when we see,so that he can buckle his trousers well and start calculating if he is ready for marriage.My aunt just gave birth and its always one heated conversation about money to another. The husband is earning less than 40k,even terms her requests as being too demanding(on top your own pikin o).He clearly doesn't know the baby needs disposables like diapers and wipes on a regular basis.Thank God my aunt has a job,she would have become one frustrated woman by now.

I disagree with you, it is not as expensive as you paint it, there are things on the list that can be done without, also there are cheaper alternative, instead of hobbies diaper you could buy pampers or even nappy, clothes for babies are extremely cheap compared to adults, babies should be on exclusive breast feeding for at least one year, other things can be bought gradually, it is only when school fees is to be paid that is when the stress comes, I blame the op's wife for not listing the cost of the items, I even believe she wants to use it to make money for her self.
Now to you, don't run from marriage because of the cost of raising a child, if you don't have the finance after marriage wait for a year. Or do you want to buy your baby designer clothes?

Fatal yet no body died, just like some silly Nigerians saying stealing is corruption...

Lilimax:
Says who? Their reportage is often one sided and you'll think they are owned by APC during the last election
They should learn not to be partisan in their report

What do you expect? It is owned by Tinubu...

loops 'seems like it is mostly females that suffer such' well am not surprised, after messing up big time in the past...

Only childish people do such. All my married friends still hold me in high esteem.

Battery life and durability,that's why I love gionee marathon series...

Useless bloggers, this happened in Ghana a few years back, when will Nigerians stop selling lies?

It has begun...

Just got this text message, am pretty sure it was sent by a fraudster, Nigerians better take note.

dmandy:
warning a general.... continue.

Where you not alive when nlc protested again obasanjo? Or is he not a general? Do you even know the meaning of democracy?

She has lots of questions to answer, 500 million to buy a house from blogging? When Lionel Messi doesn't have such?

Linda ikeji is next...

Holatunde007:
Sure they are And most of them are neither divorce or single mother

What a wicked sarcasm, lmao...

Time to start hustling for my visa, things can only get "better" with such news as this...

Dokepsi collected money for TV advert everyone is complaining, TV that employs hundreds of people, Linda collects millions for blogging advert, people are supporting her?
Nigeria can never change...

I have said it before, guys never spend on a girl more than you can afford to loose to armed robbery, even if you are to pay for health reasons make sure you are there when it is being paid.
Am sure the guy is bigger than 20k if not, he just got punked, he should make sure he avoids the girl by all costs.
It doesn't pay to be the good guy to most Nigerian girls...

Vikky014:

Hawlahscho:
I dont understand what you talking about the memory.
The charging is super fast compared to how slow it drains.

I mean, are you allowed to use the full phone memory to install apps or is it like m2 where you are only given 1.5gb to install apps?
What is the charging time from 0 to 100
