I earn enough to take care of your daughter and if you are willing to help me get a job that can earn me seven digit in a month, i wouldn't mind grin

That is what most people will answer but you need to see my friend's face when one village champion who thought her daughter is quarter to Agbani asked him that question, your countenance and body language alone would force him to change the subject.

At some point, when the "inlaw in chief regalia" grin wasn't getting the nuance, he simply called for a glass of water and asked him back, "Senior, lets stay focused on why we are here I didn't travel this far to start permutation and combination on my account balance"

His fellow village dumbos started clapping at the sound of the grammar, her useless oldest brother who at 37 was still living in his father's house was shinning his eyes, whispered to the father that a big car doesn't mean one has money after all, men borrow cars to impress inlaws, guess what; the "big car" was a lousy 2009 Toyota corolla that my friend don't even take seriously, the car became an option due to fuel efficiency, his office knock about car, chei! laugh nearly killed me.

It became clearer the level of poverty and braggadocio he was getting involved in, the girl actually told him that her father is a chief, not knowing that some traditional stools are inherited grin grin
My guy ran faster than Usain.

I only thought you to take charge of the decisions you make with that post.

Don't hinge them on other people.

Now, what makes it wrong?
On a second thought, it all depends on the motive behind d question. Oftentimes, such questions are asked for d following reasons:
• To mock d man
• To emasculate him
• A polite way of saying find ur class.
It's all aimed at insulting d guy's personality.

We only see rare occasions where such questions are asked out of a concerned heart maybe come in and render assistance in d best way they can.

I have digressed a little because of your last comment you made by mentioning the husband's wife owning one of the leading schools in PH. If the wife didn't assist when he was getting his NYSC Allowance, then i stand to say it's just 1 out of 10 possible outcomes.

1 out of 10? C'mon you don't mean that. Are you trying to say there aren't wealthy men who started on their own, whose wives are idle?

As far as am concerned, there is nothing wrong in asking how much the person earns. It's only the proud low wage earner that will find it offensive. They should be concerned about the welfare of their daughter. If it is ok to ask about job...then it is Ok to ask about salary. Probably some in-laws do help to get a better paying job. I bet if they allocate millions of Naira to assist the couples in settling down despite having a good job...people saying its rude won't find it rude or annoying receiving funds. Hypocrisy.

Please don't quote me. cool

Yes and those motives shouldn't be your business. What should be your business is your answer to them and your reactions subsequently.

You are allowed to think differently my dear, still doesn't change the fact that there are, I know that I know some, at best, these women just spend the money for the man and the man doesn't mind.

What's wrong with the question? Assuming its your daughter won't you be interested in if the guy your daughter brings home can take care of her?

Are you saying that a grown arse old man is too dumb not to know what a career keeps on the table? if he cant figure it out, his grey hair counts for nothing.
Let me ask you a direct question;

Can you call your father in march 2015 that you got a teaching job, then Dec. 2015, return home with a Range Vogue, what would your father do?

The due respect there is me not saying "where are your manners as old as you are, never ask me such rude/ irrelevant question again" grin.

You were the one MIA, I've been around.

When the husband is rich, wife should also be hardworking- that's the problem most women do.

So there's no way they can go broke even if the husband become poor one day. undecided
If you believe this then you can believe anything, like they can pull their resources together and get duped, duh!
