I'm glad you mentioned 'self-sufficient', but let's get one thing straight, we're not talking about someone in abject poverty but one with a modest living, one who's self-sufficient. You don't need too much to be okay - this is my submission.

My question is, does having too much of it now makes you the prize as opposed to who you are as a MAN?

How much money is actually sufficient?

Asides money, what else can a man showcase?

Where is the place of self worth?

OlaOfLagos:
“Until you make money as a man, you are never the prize”

The truth of this statement depends entirely on whether you are looking at society's transactional surface or the deeper reality of human relationships.

TRUE
The statement holds partial truth because the Society heavily links masculinity with financial Utility. In the modern dating marketplace, resource and security remains a top trait sought by prospective partners

FALSE
When a man defines his entire worth by his wallet, he often attracts transactional relationships. If the money disappears, the attraction disappears. A man becomes a sustainable prize when he offers a safe, stable environment that goes beyond financial support.

No African country? These are the white people most of you worship, they don't care about you people. They only wanna steal your natural resources. Let the west get lost for all I care. It's not paradise and will never be.

This is the criminal lawlessness of Nigerian security agencies for you. Why are they arresting the father?

It's not my fault that you've been unlucky with women. You have now embraced scarcity mentality. Heal bro. Heal.

Poor family!

Never ever marry from a Poor lady's family.

Am talking from experience

Stephen0mozzy:
Oh no no. Girls actually know the kind of guys they "bill" senselessly. For one, if you have hungry girls in your CL, then the problem is you - you need to find girls wey get class - just that girls with class they make some guys fear.

That's why many of them dey date rubbish, and generalize that all girls are bad.

Find a girl that can stimulate, engage and even initiate brain-wracking conversations.

It's okay to ask a person why they're not fine. If you care for someone you'd want to know.

Unless you're her husband or father, you don't have the responsibility of giving her a solution - unless you want to.

If someone should solicit assistance from you , if u dont have the money I think is better u open up n inform the person about it instead of you just snubbing the person

Giving Is a Gift, Not a Geographical Location

Have you ever asked yourself why some people in the diaspora do not send money home to their friends?

Many people argue that it is because of the struggles and sacrifices involved in earning money abroad. Others believe that people back home often assume that everyone overseas is picking money like fruit from trees. To be fair, both arguments have some truth to them. Sometimes, when you see how hard people work just to survive abroad, you may even wonder how they manage to support others financially.

Despite these arguments, I decided to carry out a little experiment this morning. I called a few friends back home and told them I urgently needed ₦5,000 to complete a transaction. I promised to repay the money the following week.

Out of 10 close friends, only one was willing to help immediately and even told me not to worry because we are friends. Imagine that. Ten friends, eight of whom work in government institutions and the remaining two are businessmen. Some people may ask about the nature of our relationship. These are people I consider brothers, and we had been together for more than five years before I travelled.

That experience led me to a conclusion: giving is a gift, and it has little to do with geographical location. Before calling people in the diaspora stingy, how often have we helped those around us with the little we have?

You do not have to live overseas before you can help someone. Generosity is a way of life. While it may be true that some people abroad become more cautious because of the stress involved in making money, I would argue that we should also ask what they were like before they travelled. Were they naturally generous? Or were they often taken advantage of because of their kindness?

At the end of the day, kindness is not determined by where you live but by the condition of your heart. The willingness to help others is a character trait, not a geographical advantage.

Let us all try to support one another, regardless of our location. As said:

"It is not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving."

Bro believe me, I know it's bitter pill to swallow, but the statistics is true and real, and I dare you to do your research however way you choose to do it, it's still going to come out the same no matter the source or the link.

Accepting that we have overwhelming deteriorated is the first step to strive for development.

ogascomax:
You guys are really funny with your analysis. You think it's by population. There is nothing we don't import. Because you don't see made in Egypt or South Africa means that they don't have more industries than us. How many made in Nigeria you will see in Chad, Niger or Ghana?

Fansa25:
My brother you don't know nothing. You are industrially comparing Lagos and warri with a City like oran in Algeria or tunis in tunisia (that mainly consume items made locally)? Mind you , I have been to some of these countries. Your Lagos is a glorified slum. Dem say pikin wey never comot house before go say na him papa farm na big pass.

The brides parents clothes will be bought by the bride alone or the expenses be shared by the 2 couples it won't fall on the groom alone no matter how poor the groom's parents are same with the cow but if the groom wishes to buy the cow alone he won't be disuaded.

So what will the brides family now spend on their daughter? when all the expenses are shouldered by the groom?that is exploitation, greed and lack of dignity on the bride's side of the family maybe you have been meeting greedy in-laws how are they now different from the eastern side we say their marriage is expensive even there the groom don't buy the cow and almost all the brides house hold utensils and requirements for marital life are purchased by the bride's family.

goslowgoslow:
Mr stop talking thrash! In Yoruba land the wifes side spend more on all these things, they are basically the ones that takes care of the reception of course the husband can assist. I bet you are probably not a Yoruba man or your are from a greedy family that doesn't follow the true Yoruba tradition.
