Get as rich as you can, invest as much as you can for yourself not for your kids or wife alone, but for your old age.


And lastly, pray for good health and save enough for quality healthcare at old age

You said OP is right and wrong, but did not clarify any of this in your comment. undecided

Your wife is lucky that, in your case, things turned out better than they were when she first met you. However, for the vast majority of women out there who married men who earned less at the time, the reality did not turn out the same. That is partly the reason why almost 50% of married women in Nigeria today are breadwinners. Of the others who were not breadwinners, many of them who were not able to attain financial independence before marriage(and maintained it in marriage), a large portion are financially abused by their spouses in marriage. undecided

What OP expressed is a preference many women have, and there is nothing wrong with their choice. Additionally, that choice is facilitated when the woman is financially independent before and throughout the course of the marriage, as we are all aware that even rich men can be stingy towards their own wives and children. undecided
Almost 50% of women are bread winners? In which Nigeria? Pls where did you get your statistics from?

Do you even know that many women from Northern Nigeria don't work, and the North makes up almost 50% if not more of the Nigerian population (you can look it up) . So I ask again... Where did you get your 'almost 50% of women are bread winners in Nigeria'?

Once woman foot bills for 1 or 2 months due to some financial constraints on the husband's side who has been footing bills for donkey years... THEY SUDDENLY BECOME BREAD WINNERS....

[/b]As a man, better take good care of yourself and plan for old age. Plan as if you don't have a wife. Very important.[b]

Women are selfish by nature. As a man, you must also be brutal.

If she says you can't bring your mom, make sure you bring your mom, get a caregiver and change the locks of the house. Then, give a life ban to all her relations from visiting your house.

Let her go back to her parents house to get some home training.
I always say this.

in Nigeria alone, almost 50% of married woman currently serve as the breadwinners and at the same time the nurturers in their marriages. In most of those homes, the men don't occupy responsibility as nurturers...this I can bet. 😩😩😩

It ain't the woman failing to rise to the occasion here but Nigerian men; they, in their majority, refuse to consider that a man can and should either be willing to share responsibilities or at least take on other roles in the household when they are called upon to do so. undecided

took me experimenting and few life reality to understand how this work. As a man, it doesn’t matter how much u labor on ur family and kids, you’re not reaching any fruit of ur labor at old age. The children will chose their mothers no matter how low effort she was. Invest in ur future as a man and only do so much. Children send their mother abroad all the time you rarely see fathers in the picture. Now they’ll tell you it’s because u didnt treat them and their mother right, they isn’t true dong let them gaslight u. I’ve seen two different life scenarios where a man who labor so much only to get nothing. The woman enjoy everything.


Invest in urself as man.
Exactly what I'm saying... Invest and save for ur old age.. So that even if the children don't care abt u.. YOUR MONEY WILL.

Na you dey fight yourself.

You said men are not supposed to be nurturing.
In the same paragraph, you’re lamenting how your kids will abandon you in old age. You have no one but yourself to blame for that.

Be “masculine” all you want in exchange for a lonely old age. Your choice.

But I’ll have you know that real masculine men dote on and nurture their children as well. And in exchange, they don’t have to worry about being abandoned in old age.
I always advise men to prepare financially for their old age.. DON'T spend all your money being the 'father of the century', keep some money aside and take care of urself too.

Have u ever wondered where the money ur wife earners that she doesn't contribute to the house upkeep goes to?


Men should think..... Children may or may not take care of their parents... YES PARENTS (not just the dad) for so many reasons, including they not even having enough for their own needs.
FamilyRe: Man Who Planned On Leaving Wife With Their 5 Children Surprised When She Leaves by vanvickie(m): 6:56pm On Aug 16, 2025
cococandy:
Oh I wonder why. Probably has nothing to do with them thinking they don’t have a nurturing role in the family.
Women should also take up more FINANCIAL responsibilities in the home to enable the men have more time for the 'nurturing role'.

For starters... Women are entitled to up to 1yr maternity leave, while most men get 2days to 2weeks in most cases.. So it's logical to think the child will bond more with the mother.

Secondly, while the woman is on maternity leave, guess who takes up more work load to meet the increased financial responsibilities in the house.... YES... MEN DO.

So how do u really expect a man working more hrs n taking second jobs to meet up wt financial responsibilities to have AS MUCH TIME as the woman has with the child?

If the roles were reversed, will women also provide without complaining n telling the whole world they are feeding the man's generation?

NOTE: I don't support deadbeat dad's, but u can't compare the time a woman spends wt a child with that of the man.
FamilyRe: Men, Learn To Cook – It's A Survival Skill, Not A Gender Role by vanvickie(m): 7:25pm On Aug 07, 2025
Tallesty1:
I’ll cook for my family because my dad did for us and we loved it, honestly, we even craved his meals. But the moment you start telling me, “It’s 2025, so you should be cooking,” that’s where the wahala starts.

My last relationship ended for two reasons.

First, she wanted to know how I would support her career. I asked, “Are you working for yourself or for the household?” She said it doesn’t matter. I told her, If you're working for yourself while I fund all of us, then I don't owe you so much as a ‘how was work today?’. Your job holds no value for the family.

Second, she said she only wants two kids. I told her, “I’m having three.” She said she had already made up her mind and wasn’t ready to mentally accommodate a third. I replied, “The third mustn't come from you.”

There are things I don’t negotiate. It riles me to see men become sissies just because women have conditioned them into becoming the kind of men want as a partner but they’d never want as a brother or a son
This here is a man that knows his worth... Not simps that are indecisive...

And just one response from Chris sent her sprawling
Now what caught my attention was that
She told Chris that.. "she would clean, she can cook and she was open to learning new recipe for him and even when he wanted to HIT he can HIT ANYTIME

Well I always thank God for my life sha grin

Would have gotten me all vexed
Till i found out what Men yesteryears enjoyed.



I don't stress myself again
Even talking to ladies and hearing their opinions in issues i don't even
I just observe
Lol
U come to me with that bs of cookin is a survival skill and not want u enjoy doing for ur man
By all means whatever we are doing, it's temporary

I grew up in a house where my father cooks
Cooks better than my mom sef. But mumsy no gree o
Mama say make pop dey e own o
Make she leave kitchen for am.. and she got better at it and now i always jokingly tell any girl (they'd spend 2 months with mom to cook her way) cause I'm so stucked on her food


As much as cooking is a survival skil
IT'S GENDER SPECIFIC
Make nobody whine e papa for here
I provide, still come home to cook
Even if you provide so?

Abeg abeg abeg mah enter office before i vex
Thanks for this..

BTW... Cooking isn't a survival skill... Making money and having the money is.

Why must I stress myself to cook when I can easily place and order for same meals and pay or even pay the caterer or chef to come and cook for me right inside my kitchen?

While some people enjoy cooking, others don't, so just because you love or learnt or know how to cook doesn't make other men who don't know how to illiterates or whatnot. Those men also know other basic survival skills that you might not know just like sm1 mentioned.

And yes... I COOK WHEN I FEEL LIKE!

Where it is established the man has been the primary caregiver even in the marriage thereby allowing the woman more career-time that led to wealth acquisition, the woman would pay spousal support. A few rich(er) women have. Sadly these cases are few because even when the woman is richer, the man doesn't step up to family duties as it emasculates him. Rihanna is richer and she is still the one dragging her children everywhere and men see her as a model wife/mother. Maybe that is why she has refused to marry whatever-his-name-is. She is avoiding stories that touch.


No court in Nigeria mandates a man to keep doing what he does for a woman after marriage. I have not seen or heard of one case. The 30k to 50k Nigerian men are mandated to pay is definitely not what any grown woman uses to take care of herself and 3 kids. Even in America, with the exception of celebrities and the top percentile of men, the money is barely enough to augment given the woman would have to do school run, doctor appointments, sick days, games day...everything alone. If there is mortgage, she still has to pay it off or take a hit to their living condition. So in reality, POST-DIVORCE, these women take up jobs after losing meaningful work years because all the man is mandated to pay is CHILD SUPPORT. Strictly for the kids, no extras.

If my husband would stay at home while I chase my career and side dudes ___I will happily give him 50k/monthly upon divorce for childcare. Then come pickup every other weekend and return to him immediately to sleep by midnight and wakeup early every morning . I have presented him with this option a few times if he thinks I am not doing enough and he never took it. He instead gave me the money. The women guys scare with this talk are lazy and emotional women.

Women's fight for kids with an average man is more of fear, maternal instinct and longterm emotional control, than actual resources.
Emotional control for what exactly?

What abt the man also paying the rent for where the woman and kids stay? Or doesn't that happen?

Simple, not being able to take care of yourself without external help should be a crime in this age.
Hope this applies to the female gender too that most of them can't cater for their needs and wants without a man in the picture?

Do you get? A nice article but he nearly ruined it with that part.

Nearly everything men did in 1985, they’re still doing today, but you don’t see anybody telling them to stop because it’s 2025. Look at marriages, even after divorce, the core things a man provides in marriage, he can still be mandated by court to keep providing for the woman and kids. But nothing binds the woman to do anything for him. It’s crazy.

In my family, everybody cooks. And being the one who stayed in the village longer, I cook local foods better than all of them. Recently, we were in the village for Easter, and I was the one cooking. My brothers were there, their wives too, and my sister, my mother, and others, I was cooking because I love cooking and I trust my own food. But all this talk about 2025 doesn’t move me. Yes, it’s 2025, I can order any food from my phone; heck, I can order both the food and the chef.

Nobody remembers it’s 2025 when we tell men to be the providers and do all the heavy lifting. Recently, because a woman died over ₦500k, the internet was full of “don’t settle for less” and “marry a man that can always cough out a million.” This is coming from a POS attendant that earns ₦15k monthly without any allowance.

Recently in a conversation with one, she said she can't marry a broke guy because she doesn't want to suffer; and I asked why she would suffer because of his brokenness when he isn’t asking for her own money?

Women have all the opportunities that men have, they have the education men had, they can get all the skills men have access to, and for some good reason, it’s even easier for them. But nobody reminds them it's 2025 when they hold back their own money and expect everything to come from the man. Nobody tells them it's 2025 when they're planning their dream weddings without contributing a single kobo.

Na man dey do man las las, NEPO kids dey buy off the whole food in the canteen because they no wan queue while LAPO kids are being told to start cooking because it's 2025. Na money and fellow man dey do man.

I dey live in one beedrom, I marry woman put inside, she no add extra room, na me dey pay the bills but na she settle for less.

Your major concerns should be on how to talk to the elders in your community to review the archaic laws and customs of your land.

Your grandfather has done well pushing his
daughter " your mom " to get another man. She needs to be happy too and move on. Her marriage vow/oath have broken so no point being single for the rest of her life.

As for your junior ones, you as the first born should try and bring in your late father relatives into this, let them pick up their responsibilities.

I wish your mom happy married life in advance.
What responsibilities are the late father's relatives picking up that a MOTHER ISN'T SUPPOSED TO PICK UP? U mean the late father's relatives shld share the children among themselves while the MOTHER GOES ON AND ENJOYS LIFE IN THE NAME OF MOVING ON?

If you an open an account with stanbic IBTC... It'll be good. They have the best rates for both primary and secondary market (as much as I can tell) and the best thing about stanbic is they have a link u can use to access tbills auction (both primary and secondary market) from the comfort of ur home, also... U can do primary market tbills for less than 50m as against some banks that insist on 50m threshold for primary market.

And yes, I've done all these with them, so it's not hearsay.


PS: I don't work with stanbic nor am I affiliated to them. I'm just a satisfied customer.
