milann:
you are beginning to sound like a motivational speaker

I am not a motivational speaker. I am just a truth seeker. I hate lies, hypocrisy and dishonesty.

I believe that if you acquire skills/knowledge, are hardworking and not afraid to take risks (calculated). You will make it anywhere.

The problem is that most Nigerians are lazy (mentally). They want easy cash and give up at the first signs of failure. They waste all their time praying for breakthroughs and unmerited favours instead of investing their time and energy acquiring new skills. There are so much needs out there and very little people to fulfil these needs. My wife read marketing at ND levels. I encouraged her to acquire a skill instead of job hunting. After a full year of catering school, she now makes more more money than anyone could pay her.

I am saying all these to push young guys to acquire new skills and stop complaining about no job after graduating university.

LINTUNE:
oga keep quiet, stop misleading people..at least u were comfortable before marriage, a young man that earns 150k monthly, with the help of a supportive woman, can venture into marriage, hoping to grow with his woman, I have no doubt about that..but let's be frank, how man of our youths in their 20s, earn even that meagre income (150k)...so how do.u expect a young man earning 50/60k monthly to marry, let alone a guy earning below 40k...just think na

What do you suggest should happen if a young man was earning N150k or more per month and then Covid 19 caught up with him. You know last year Coronavirus lockdown made millions of people lose their jobs or businesses. You think the wife should file for divorce immediately?

As I said a man cannot remain on a financial boom for ever or throughout marriage. You never even stop to think what happens if a husband dies (as men tend to die earlier due to excessive stress) and leave many children. Will the wife and children become destitute.

I don't know if you saw the word " expect " . She can decide to help or not. People won't blink an eye if she doesn't.

If she decides not to help them we all lose - the whole family. She was wise enough to realise that for the long term wellbeing and survival of the family, she had to sustain the family while I recover my bearings. Since then, she has reaped a 100 fold that help. I paid for her to go to an expensive catering school, transportation, handouts and project fees apart from the tuition fees. I opened her own snacks outlet with a well equipped office attached. I am saving to send her on an advanced cake course abroad.

So you see, she invested wisely.

na2016:
Good, thank God for her then. This is quite rare nowadays. I have seen a man lost a job and the wife left him. So be grateful and treat her well.

Then the marriage was never build on love but on lure.
I married by wife based on the commitment and love she showed right from beginning. She has her faults but materialism is not one of them. I believe materialism beclouds relationships and friendships. When I became broke all my friends and family ran away. I was alone with only my wife and my mother who was in the UK then. Today, I have no friends. I go to my office and just come home to my family.

na2016:
Brother, believe me, your last paragraph says it all. Take away that money for 6 months and I will tell you that your wife may start behaving somehow.
I don't know how long you have been married as that may have contributed to form your opinion but I am talking a point of experience and what I have seen happen to others.

For three years, I was jobless, penniless and had a new born son. My wife did not start behaving anyhow. She borrowed 100k from her brother and went to Cutonou to be bringing in bedsheets to be selling to friends and family. That sustained us for one year until I was able to get some construction contracts once again. I eternally remain greatful to her and never refuse any financial requests she makes.

bigpicture001:
One is not aiming to satisfy any wife..its income to run the home more effectively....

Women turn love to hate if their isn't comfort in the home

This is only the mindset of some poverty stricken blacks. Go to the Niger Delta and see numerous examples of women hustling for her family. Go to Warri, Sapele, Asaba, Benin and see women go to market, farms, etc. Most raise their children single handedly without doing olosho.

It's in the West here I see women feel they can sit at home all day and watch zee world or telemundo and have their husbands work himself to death, so they can buy the latest bags, shoes and phones.

na2016:
You need money in marriage. In fact the more you stay with a lady, that thing called love, dies completely. It is actually the friendship that you have built with her and being able to provide for the home (money) that sustains the marriage.

Believe me money had never sustained any marriage. It's love, companionship and understanding that have sustained most marriages I know.

Running and providing for a home in modern societies does not lie with one partner only. If you legitimately make your money and not engaged in fraud or corruption, you will know that you need both partners contributing to sustaining the home. I know how much I spend on school fees, bills, medicals, groceries and others every month, and it's still not enough.
And my children are not in university yet. This is why I make sure my wife started a business, so she can also start contributing to the sustaining of the home. My aged mother is with me and I know how much her upkeep and medicals cost me.

I am always afraid of what happens to my family if I become incapacitated, have a financial disaster or even die. What will happen to the wellbeing of my children and my wife.

colestephan86:
I put it to you that , every single point from the writeup is correct and a fact.
I married young and it wasn't that I had all the money in the world but best believe, there has been improvement as we grow together

They can never understand, no matter how much you educate them.

Poverty is a state of mind rather than a state of physical or material being. You are poor only if you believe and and accept you are poor. A rich mind creates opportunities and wealth out of very few resources, while a poor mind creates nothing inspite of excess resources at his/her disposal. This is why Nigeria and Nigerians are poor.

Marriage should be a combination of rich minds to create more wealth and not an avenue for one partner to covet the riches of the other.

na2016:
He has a valid point, madam. Marriage requires money. the best of women will become resentful when the husband doesn't have money. No woman likes sufferring

False. Marriage requires love. Else marriges of millionaires and billionaires would not most times end in divorce.

So you mean to tell me women use husbands only to end suffering. You must have very low opinion of women.

gbami:
Let me guess.. you are not married.
When you get married and he can't provide make sure you remember me.
Guys listen. From a married man. Marriage no be fantasy island o. It is reality. Nobody expects you wife to contribute a penny in marriage unlike relationship. You go get High BP if you can't provide basic stuff for your family. Reality is different from "20 ways to make marriage work" written by one single woman.
If you can't provide basic for yourself and another person...no marry. Guys, Stand up, Draw your ears..Repeat after me.. "If I no fit provide basics for myself and another person, marriage motivators leave me". You can now sit down guys.

Are you serious? A woman is not expected to contribute a penny in marriage? And you got 261 likes. I now see that Nigeria is in deep shit with this stupid mindset. You mean to tell me that you expect over half the Nigerian population of women to rely only on the men to be productiv?

So what do you think women can offer to men in marriage? Only sex and child bearing? In that case why waste money educating and training female children, when they will only end up in the bedroom and kitchen.
I teach my daughter to be independent and not rely on anyone. That's the way we raise our daughters in the Niger Delta.

gbami:
Please, as a newly married man. Don't listen to this crap.
If you are not ready to marry. Don't do it.
If you are not financially stable to marry as a man, don't do it.

When you can't provide for your wife, that puppy loves turns to resentment. If it lingers well enough hatred, then she will look for other means to get money. She go Bleep your landlord, wey go dey console and encourage to work harder you since you no fit pay house rent.

Evil Names, Change It. The Europeanization Of African Names.
https://africhistory.com/evil-name-change-it-the-europeanization-of-african-names/

If that is your mind set, then I am sorry to say that you started your marriage on a wrong premise. Financial stability does not depend on the amount of money you have at the moment. It can change like the British weather.

Throughout your life you will pass through the highs and lows of financial stability. When I got married, I was living in a 3 bedroom flat in surulere and driving an almost brand new BMW 5 series. 3 years into marriage, I had some series of bad deals and all my financial security went south. I left surulere and moved to a much cheaper 3 bedroom flat in Ikorodu. Did my wive's love turn to resentment or the bleeped my landlord? No. She contributed in helping the family. By the time our first child came, she was the one doing business and I was taking care of our son.

In less than 5 years I was able to pick up again and things has been on an upward trajectory since.
Imagine how things would have turn out if I married the type of woman you are used to.

As I said, financial stability does not depend on the amount of cash you have at the moment. When Elon Musk was starting out, he slept at his office, showered at YMCA and lived (eat) on $1 a day. His girlfriend lived with him in his office. Today, he is the richest man in the world.

pompeiimagnus:
As I said previously, I believe that the decision to abort should always rest on the mother. However, that right to decide should fall within acceptable legal provisions and guidelines, just as every other fundamental right currently does. Unless it's for medical reasons, aborting a foetus beyond the first trimester is clearly murder.

I have always frown at late term abortion. This is due to the fact that late term abortion is much more riskier to the woman and elicit strong emotions from the society. Having said that, pro life supporters are muddling the debate with unreasonable and emotional arguments. How can you equate abortion to murder? Do they even understand what murder means? Even killing a person in front of live TV or online does not necessarily equate to murder not to talk of aborting a foetus which is not considered a legal person yet. If abortion is made illegal, then a person will be charged for abortion and never murder.

I am glad progress that at least being made on this abortion debate, as conservative religious people are beginning so accept that women has some rights to their bodies and lives. A few years ago, they believe women should not even use condoms or any contraceptives, and once she becomes pregnant, she must the force to birth the baby, whether it was rape, the man responsible has gone AWOL or even if her health is at risk.

pompeiimagnus:
You are very right, both morally and biologically. I support planned parenthood, but on issues like abortion, I believe that a foetus has the right to life once it's past 4 weeks. 4 to 6 weeks is sufficient time for both parents to reach a mutual decision.

If a foetus has the right to life, what of the woman? Where does her own right to her womb and her body start? If she says she does not want the foetus inside her and definitely does not want to birth and care for a baby, are you going to put a gun to her head? Or in the alternative threaten her with prison (her and the baby)?

Reex12:
Ayyam not understanding. He raped u and u later start having sex 3 times a week.

In sane countries, having sex with under age children is considered rape, even of she consented. She has not attained the age of consent.

There are many doctors, Engineers in Nigeria in Nigeria enough to develop the country who cannot get jobs, Should they die in Nigeria?

False premise. Nigeria has one of the most appalling doctor to patient ratio in the world. The country is said to have an estimated 40,000 doctors for a population of 200 million.

A major problem that Africa has been suffering from over the years is the high rate of brain drain that takes highly competent personnel in important areas from the continent to foreign countries, making their service very scarce in their respective countries. A report released by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation revealed that African countries footed a bill of $4.6 billion in training doctors who were later recruited by the UK, USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA.
https://eyegambia.org/nigeria-has-more-than-4000-doctors-in-the-us-5000-in-the-uk-alone/

The case of engineers is even worse than that of doctors. Brain drain has rendered Nigeria practically without competent engineers needed to develop the country.

There was a story of a guy 1st class Mathemactics from UNN who was doing hoe and cutlass farming in Ebonyi village until he got a schorlarship to US for his PhD, Later the guy will join those developing America and we will be crying about brain drain. If we made use of them will they run away?

https://www.nairaland.com/6444128/emmanuel-nworie-first-class-mathematician-farmer

I read the story, and according to my comprehension, I don't see how the guy will join those developing America. From the story he got a scholarship from a patriotic Nigerian to study for PhD. He will pay well over $100,000 to the US economy (with $75,000/year for tuition alone). The issue is what happens after the PhD programme? If it was Trump, he would be deported back to Nigeria to use his PhD to develop his country. But Biden might want to use his skills to develop America.

Nigeria trained him and when Nigeria didnt need him what should he do? Or you want the poor guy to waste his life while waiting for Nigeria to have his time? The people that needed him have taken him

It is not that Nigeria does not need him, the problem is that Nigerian and the black race in general lacks the foresight, planning, sacrifice and cohesiveness necessary for progress. Just like you and most people on this topic supporting brain drain and cracked down on immigration at the same time, they are short sighted, selfish and self hating. They are happy at the current state of their country, state, village and even family (extended).

So you are suggesting Nigeria should stop wasting money training and educating it's citizens? Maybe the government's both federal and state should hands of education and sell of the universities. That will actually show Nigeria does not want people like Emmanuel Nworie.

What will be the benefit to Nigeria and even Michael Taiwo if Michael Taiwo after getting his PhD decides to stay in the US to develop their country, and never coming back to contribute anything to the country and people that gave him the opportunities to succeed?

Every issue always boils down to white vs black, Anything and everything must be white vs Black. If you don't want to encounter a black person stay in Siberia and if you don't want to encounter a white man stay in Sambisa. The world in most places especially America and the western world is multi racial and going about looking for someone to hate because he has a different skin hue from yours is just unfortunate. There are people of your own skin in your own village who hate you more than any white man can ever do

It's not a matter of black vs white, it's a matter of promoting group interests. It makes sense to promote your family, clan, tribal, country and race interest for your own long term interests. Blacks are the only race I know that promotes the interests of other groups to the detriment of their own group interest, for short term personal gains. They are the only people I know that loathe and denigrate their own village people and ancestors but worships the ancestors of other races.

Anyone be it Nigerian, Indian Ukrainian, Mexican who is smart and well educated should immigrate to where their skills are needed and rewarded. How you managed to see white vs black in this must be one of the wonders of the internet

If I ask to quote specifically where anyone here has advocated against Black people immigrating to America, will I get a reply?

Suddenly advocating for the best brains to immigrate is hating immigrants. Some people are just impossible

Skill and brains don't develop themselves, they cost money to develop. What i am saying is that if the US, Canada, UK and Australia wants best brains and skills, they should spend the money to train their own people like the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do. But it's immoral to wait for poor nations to spend their meagre resourcing developing brains and skills only for them to steal them.
In the alternative they can invest in Nigeria and poor countries by funding their universities. They would then have the moral justification to take them after they become skilled.

Pelosi shot down a Merit based system

Later they will say its Republicans who did not want to allow immigration? Once again what is wrong with adopting the Canada style merit based immigration system where priority is given to those highly educated people that will fix the countries needs

What's wrong with it is that it robs developing countries of much needed man power needed to fix their own countries needs.

Basically having higher levels of education, English skills, in-demand professional expertise was what Democrats deemed as wrong for the country

If America wants to have higher levels of education, it should spend the money educating its citizens on higher levels of in demand professional expertise. It is thievery for America to wait for developing countries to spend their meagre resources educating its citizens on high level expertise and then having them stolen.

What is wrong in priritizing visas for people with extra ordinary talents? You are exceptional in your field? Then America wants you. What is wrong with that ? But the Democrat desire to play politics and do nothing will make them shoot it down

That's stealing. Do you know how much it costs to train a doctor? The physical infrastructure, the equipment, the manpower, etc? Compare how much it would cost to train a doctor in the US. In Nigeria the government heavily subsidizes university education (public universities). It is pure thievery for US to encourage these trained skilled manpower that the Nigerian government had spent billions of naira producing to emigrate and develop the US that did not spend a kobo training them.

If the US, canada, UK and Australia steals all Africa's manpower, who would be left behind to develop the continent? Boko Haram, Al-Shabab, Fulani herdsmen, militants, etc.?

Even demanding potential immigrants speak English was shot down, You can't immigrate to Canada if you don't have at least 6 in IELTS or French Language

How long does it take to learn English or any other language. This is a very mute point. I know people that left Nigeria for Italy without understanding a word of Italian, and in 6 months they were speaking Italian like Antonio Conte.

My issue with you guys is the fact that you are promoting the talking points and interests of white Caucasians as against the interests of your own people. I don't quarrels with white Americans hating immigrants - (who are mainly from poor nations like Nigeria), because they are getting more competition and losing their once absolute dominance. But a black man hating on other blacks for attempting to use the same path path they themselves used is wickedness and self hatred.

He said there was high level of promiscuity and permissiveness amongst students in the state. “50 or 60% of girls in our secondary schools are not virgins. And this is not good for the image of the state and of education.”

How did he know? How are we sure he is not among the ones disvirging the girls.

What about the boys? How many percentage of the boys in secondary school are virgins? Or is he telling us that a high percentage of disvirgined secondary school boys is good the image of the state and of education?

CoronaVirusRelo:
Discussion is not aabout Nigerians, Mexicans or Europeans, it's about check balancing illegal immigration. Nations have done and curbed to extent.

Biden has refused to visit the southern boarder, probably can't stare into those ICE staffs. You can't make illegal legal by remorse or pity. It is what it is. So do I say you support the recent surge at the Southern boarder?

Between the last 10 years till date, as America been stronger or weaker in it's immigration policies? Now it's termed wickedness for advocating what's right and I have to be on the open the boarders side.

Do you think of the impact and effect of this policies you support? I know what plays around and I can authoritatively tell you that, amongst great Nations, America has the weakest immigration system. Does that mean nations who have buffered the system are evil?

How about people who migrate legally, are they fools? Let's call a spade a spade, cos no point will make illegality legal. It's weaken the system.

Peolosi has acknowledged surge and blaming on Trump, thats an acknowledgment that she is aware of the rise.

I am sorry to say, but you are exhibiting the usual "pulling down the ladder once I get to the top to prevent others from using the same ladder" syndrome. I am not sure whether it is hatred for other blacks like yourself or the love of white (European) supremacists that made you take their talking points.

I am sure either you or close members of your family did not enter the US as a legal immigrant. You either went with a student visa or a visiting visa and then struggled for a green card and then passport. Why don't they talk of illegal Eastern or Western European immigrants? You mean to tell me there are no illegal European immigrants in the US? O I forgot, the Republicans prefers Norwegians to Mexicans or Nigerians.

Me, I can never immigrate to the US. I got a 4 year visa in the 80s and only spend 3 weeks before leaving. But I do not quarrel with those who immigrate to the US or any other country for a better life.

Humans (and animals too) had been immigrating since the beginning of life on earth. The first humans were speculated to come out of central/southern Africa and through immigration colonized the while world. Humans immigrate looking for better life - food, shelter, mate or in modern times money. And no force in the universe can stop that.

Nigerians and other Africans still attempt to cross the Mediterranean in flimsy rafts and boats to get to Europe, despite thousands drowning at sea yearly and another thousands being killed and raped in war torn Libya.

As long as their are wars, instability, poverty and lack of economic opportunities, people will immigrate to better places irrespective of risks and laws. The same thing happened in Europe during the 18th and 19th century when millions of Europeans emigrated to the Americas, Africa and Australia in search of better opportunities.

Ecne:
I swear, if I was a Resident of this community, I'll relocate by this month's end, cos IKEDC will blacklist them till they do the following:
1. Produce the attackers
2. Foot the medical bills + heavy compensation for the victim.
3. Sign an MOU never to attack or prevent Staff of IKEDC from carrying their duty.

This is blackmail. And the blackmail is possible because the government allowed monopoly of the power sector. If the community is allowed to source their electricity from another company, would IKEDC be blackmailing people anyhow?

It's like MTN treatening to cut off a customer because someone beat up their official.

boogietrends:
It is wrong to violently attack electricity company personnel. Seriously prepaid meter will stop all these confrontations. In some African countries, customers pay a small amount and the prepaid meter is installed. When they recharge the meter, 20% of the amount is deducted to offset the balance for the prepaid meter. They should try and implement that in Nigeria.

You should also advice electricity company personnels to stop violently disconnecting customers without justification or prior notice. The NERC guidelines forbids electricity company personnels from carrying ladder up and down disconnecting people without notice.

Oizee:
too bad....he didn't deserve it, he was only doing his job

Which yeye job was he doing? Did you not read that the area did not have light for 3 weeks, and IKEDC brought brought estimated bill for just one week of electricity (even thought during the one week, there was still load shedding).

All these problems could easily be solved by providing meters and stopping estimated billing.

Navalsadiq:
One of the reasons why the white race is making progress is because they engage themselves more in research and the black race keeps instigating hate and nepotism any where they go.

We black Africans are averse to research and knowledge. We are more spiritual and religious. Hence we have far more worship centres than research centres, libraries and museums, and thus spend all our time worshiping and little time researching.

KenModi:
So you are only looking at it from the biological angle and not the financial. Okay lets deal with the biological first.

I am not looking at it from only the biological perspective, I mentioned physiologically, psychologically and otherwise.

How many children should the average woman have? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?? In these hard times, it is sensible not to give birth to more than three kids. So you telling me a woman who starts giving birth in her 30s can’t have kids without issues before she reaches menopause? Really?

You sound sexist. It's should be how many children should a family have and not just women. The number of children a woman should have does not entirely depend on the woman but on her family, most especially her husband.

Now the number of children a family should have depends on the needs of the family, and believe me, it's does not depend mostly on family fortune. I have some billionaire friends who have only 2 children. Meanwhile there are some mechanics, petty traders and other low income earners who have 5 or more children.

Secondly, are you saying women should get married and have kids irrespective of their financial ability to take of the kids because all they need to consider first is their age? There is a lot to having children than just age, you do know that.

women had been getting married and having kids irrespective of financial ability since the time of Adam. In fact the fact that you have financial ability at the time of marriage does not guarantee financial ability throughout marriage. Most families have a period of financial instability. Even Bill Gates and Elon Musk got married before they achieved financial stability.
What is more important than immediate financial ability as you call it is financial vision, financial planning, hard work and of course luck.

When you marry a good, compatible and loving woman, instead of a slay mama, you can start from zero and end up a hero in a very short time.
The two could complement each other to achieve great things.

I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career.

I cannot take this advice of yours nor give it to others because having kids is more than just bearing them, you also have to raise them. Even if by 35 a lady has finished bearing kids, raising them would take another 10-15 years till they are old enough to find their own paths in life. So your argument of having kids makes family planning easier in terms of not just spacing of the kids but also their future and then having a career as well does not stand.

From your comments it's obvious you don't have any kids. If you do, you would not belch out "it takes another 10 to 15 years to raise children before they are old enough find their own paths in life". Some children find their own path early and leave their parents before their 18th birthday, some are still dependent on their parents well into their 40s. The critical time for raising children is from birth until they start primary school. That is the time they need at least one of the parents the most. By the time they enter secondary school, they should be fairly independent (and I don't mean financially) to be able to take care if themselves. For the western world, children in universities are required to have some degree of financial autonomy by working part time. It's only in Nigeria that a university student would expect his or her parents to pay tuition fees, house rent, feeding money, cloth money, and everything else until he or she finishes master's or PhD.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If you have kids and you are not financially capable or ready to take care of them, you would end up forfeiting the remaining part of you active years to raising those kids which means you would have to shelve a lot of your dreams and aspirations in order to cater for those kids. I have seen it over and over again.

To sum up, my point is that one should only get married and have kids when they are financially capable and ready to commit to that 18+ years of nurturing and raising them and not because you are avoiding having them in your 30s. Marriage is nice and kids are lovely to have but if you don’t plan properly you might plunge yourself into perpetual poverty. This goes for both men and women.

Even the Omotola Ekeinde we are talking about got married at about 18 years, birthed and raised 5 children, pursued a very successful career in acting and now at 42 her last born is 18 years. Would she have had such a successful life if she married at 35?

My wife was 24 when I married her and by 32, after 3 children, we are through with child bearing. After our last born entered nursery school, she started a new career in baking. I opened an eatery outlet for her last year and she is doing really quite well despite the pandemic.

Which Europe wey 27 year old be married woman? You sure say you done ever go d Europe wey you dey talk about so? Europe wey full with divorced and unmarried women. Go Tinder, Bumble, Badoo, e.t.c, go see how dem full there dey find fun and companionship.

Besides since when did getting married become an achievement and a determination of a person’s success in life? Na wa oo. Try get sense na abeg!

I swear enn, to slap you dey hungry me!

I support her even though the assertion that "27 years old is a married woman in Europe" is not entirely correct. In feminist leaning Europe ladies enter their 30s or even 40s pursuing a career rather than a family.

Having said that, I support that ladies should be encouraged to marry and have their children early. It makes family planning easier. When I say family planing, I mean not just about having children, but also planing for the children's education and wife's career.

It should be considered that women are physiologically, psychologically and spiritually different from men. Women's biological clocks run faster than that of men. A woman getting married in her 30s has less than 20 years of child bearing left. Furthermore, a woman bearing children late 30s and 40s present extra risks both to mother and child.
I advice us to encourage our daughters to reduce slaying in their younger years and get married and start a family, so that by 35 they are through with child bearing and can still pursue a career.

---Democracy is definetely a game of numbers---majority carry the votes---

Not in US democracy. Here a party (the republican party) could lose the popular votes by up to 60% of total votes cast and still win the presidential elections.

Also in the legislative elections, majority does not necessarily win the Senate or house.
California’s 39 million people get two senators in Washington, while two Senators also represent states like Wyoming (578,000 people), Vermont (626,000 people), and Alaska (737,000 people). In 2013, the New York Times pointed out that the six senators from California, Texas, and New York represented the same number of people as the 62 senators from the smallest 31 states.

US style democracy put small populated rural states at huge advantage, while state with highly populated cities are highly underrepresented.

Then she should be more concerned about the upkeep and wellbeing of her own immediate family.
What will she say if her husband sends money every months to his own parents while there are needs - school fees, house rents, utilities, medical fees, groceries, etc of the family.?

I know families that as a working wife, the wife is responsible for the upkeep of both parents, even to their cable TV subscription, the hubby tends to other bills.

She can do whatever she wants with her own money, but it's wrong to put the responsibility of the upkeep of her family on her husband. The man's family would not be ok with such arrangement.

If he's buoyant enough to place his father in law on a allowance, I repeat that there's nothing wrong in it.

If the wife's family wants to make the intending husband the sole provider for her entire family, they should have made the demand during the traditional wedding negotiations, so the man can know what he is in for. But, it is immoral to start making demands after collecting millions from the man all in the name of bride bride and wedding arrangements and then later demand he builds a house for her father and give him monthly salary.
