Am I Overreacting Towards My Jobless Guy? by Nobody: 9:22pm On Sep 02, 2016
My boyfriend is a jobless upcoming artist sad it is annoying because it is more than a year now that he served this country, I feel like he should get a job since he is a First Class graduate embarassed but NO! He won't. He prefers to keep asking money from his sister and anyone that could help. Each time I bring up the matter of getting a job he will get kind of angry. He is so obsessed with this music that he sees no other thing. Am angry, even to sub sometimes is problem cos he is broke. I believe that music should be the second option while he works to get money at least to help his career And stop begging. I don't understand angry a broke guy is a frustrated person coupled with being an upcoming.
We had a fight not quite long cos he is too broke to sub for himself. I brought up the issue of getting a job and he was like "I don't have any reasonable suggestions" nonsense!
No front page please.

If the niggie is really worth it, you get a job
or you wanna depend on him completely? undecided Get a job
& give him more time, if the music still doesn't work out and
he still not changing then dump his first class ass like shiiiit.

Why is she ranting pointlessly?

I mean only Nigeria girl go do this kind thing, if your bf no want official work and he decides to pursue his career in music, can she not support him? Instead she is tryna frustrate him, if you can support him, gtfo!! You call him broke, her mate they buy her bf things, see AY wife na she support am when he was broke in skul days pursuing his dreams.

All this senseless Nigerian girls they disgust me with their low mentality.

when in a relationship be with someone who listens to your advice and see sense in your point of view when there is actually one .
when one has passion for something .it should not be in a way that they become selfish thinking about themselves all alone .I can't imagine a first class student thinking this way .wait do first class students have time for music .I hate to admit .I ditch a friend who is so obsessed to this upcoming artist thing .upcoming me arse.mi dear move on .he is not ready to face the future .when he is fully an artist .he would go round chasing dem girls be for maybe .which is under probability he settles for u .

Put yourself in my shoes and read your comment once again, does it make any sense Do u know how long he's been obsessed with this music? How much I have helped him with. What will it take him to get a job alongside music instead of begging his sis for as low as 500/1000# for sub. It's disappointing, to even think he's 25 is disheartening

You should give him some time to either make it or realise that music won't work out for him. Since you've already had enough, give him about a year, in which you'll try and improve yourself too. Yes your boyfriend has to be rich and all, after all what would you do with a broke ass nigga, but you also have to make something for yourself. So by giving him time, you're also helping yourself. If after a year he still hasn't gotten his act right then you can move on without any regrets. But then again if a year is too long, please call it quits before you become the nag that he'll eventually open a thread for...

I absolutely understand, these music people can be so head strong. Although I'd still say you should give him a little time if you love him that much..

Yes I do, but I hate to see him moody and sad over asking help instead of hustling to get a job.
Re: Am I Overreacting Towards My Jobless Guy? by Nobody: 10:10pm On Sep 02, 2016
Er you could leave him or continue as you are. Really is that simple.

Thank you. I'm a fresh graduate waiting to serve soon, I am also into tailoring. I've been building myself ever since, I'm not used to collecting money from him anyway.

I personally understand your worries and concerns about your partner's inability to get a job.
In all honesty you didn't do anything wrong by suggesting that he gets something doing while he works on his passion.
Again, I personally admire him because he seems like a focused and passionate individual who wish to make a mark in the music industry. So I won't encourage you to look down on him as a result of his current financial capacity.
I feel that what he needs is someone who will advise him and help him understand that great music involves great money.
I will rather suggest that you encourage him join a music band, choir group, or get a music mentor that will coach him and at the same time expose him to the music industry.
This will help him to grow in his passion and at the same time earn a living from singing,writing or playing instruments.
I want you to resolve to support him with the best advice that he needs, and since he's not comfortable with working for anyone, please don't push him.
Like I said earlier, men of vision don't bend to pressure, they soar above pressure by giving their all to make their vision a reality.
Again if you're not necessarily comfortable with his vision and passion for music and you feel that you cannot wait for him or support him, kindly let him know and move on with your life.

Pls few questions.

how long has he been into music?


Does he earn from the music??


Does he have other sources of income?


Does he have concrete plan/strategy on how to promote his music to the next level?

Cos I would like to believe he is smart and purposeful and not use music as an excuse for laziness or short-sightedness.
