MIB1:
Nna men, this 50k thing depends on where u intend to settle down.. I for example have been earning 150k about 2 yrs now. I have been able to save close to 2m but oboy I still feel its not enough to get married .. Sometimes it depends on where u wanna settle and the lifestyle u have been used to

another nice point of view.

50k salary inside marriage. Na before ooo.But now, I REJECT EVERY SPIRIT OF POVERTY IN MY LIFE.My bible tells me to seek and I shall find, and whatever I bind here on earth shall be bind in heaven. I stand upon the rock of St Peter and I am binding every spirit of poverty in the life of my future husband, every spirit of meagre salary. I lose your hold on that poor future husband of mine.IT SHALL NOT BE MY POTION.50K SALARY KE? Which kind rough play be that?

i pity u.

NifemiOlu:
So
Guys, even if you're earning 15k, provided you're smart, focused and with goodwill on your side, you will make it. That's sure.

The bolded is very important. You tick it,then of course!
after all,I would not sit my butt and be living off his money .Marriage is about team work, contribute your quota and I'll contribute mine.

The bolded has to be fulfilled though.

remsonik:
Yes I can marry him, so far he's focused!
I know people who started earning that low amount now they are CEOs too.........
Its not about money, some live even more comfortably than those who earn higher.

God bless you my sister with this kind of understanding and heart you will soon end up with a good man as ur husband..

watered:
You do and I know it!

YES I DO IT!
HANG YOUR SELF! !
PUT a robe, stretch it around your neck and hang!

EggovinMma:


Lover ke?
Please suffer and love are like water and oil.
Love isn't everything. It's not rosy to live in povepoverty.its painful and unbearable. THE ONLY WAY I CAN DO THAT IS IF WE ARE LIVING IN VILLAGE WHERE THE STANDARD OF LIVING IS QUITE LOW.

If he earns this amount in some part of core North, deep in the states of south west, that's understandable. One can manage, but if na Lagos, Abuja, PH, abeg the guy no try at all to buy ring for my hand.

shut up witch, who wan buy ring put for ur hand, that man they mad,abby im wan paint im future black,poor women like you are men's worst nightmare, how much do yourself earn a year, and how much do ur father earn, you woman with spirit of wretchedness, i cast and bind you out of men's life,in jesus name amen..

chimkaire:
Bless you too and may you find your perfect match in Matrimony, to the glory of God

Amen oooooooo

Because you refused to tell me you are sorry.

I'm sure say this girl no get work!


She doesn't know how to earn a clean money!

uote author=sokotoburundi post=31779596]do u tink d pple dat are earning 50k dont like to earn better? Or they dont know GOD? Sometimes its jst a test frm GOD or nature, to test ur strength, ur toughness n ur willingness 4 a better life no guy on earth prays to earn 50k a month every body wants to make it but it boils down to if u really want to by show of ur character towards it.
If u like tell me ur father or u gr8 grandfather is rich b4 they met their wives, one of the line of the generatn of ur father must have started frm d bottom. Is jst like saying u must marry a guy earning 10m a month riding rollsroyce b4 u marry him. While ur mother married ur father dat doesnt even have keke napep then.[/quote]

3cycle:

Truth... If he earns 50k somewhere in the north omo he's a bigboy. Because you can get a room and parlour self contain for 6ok yearly. Food is cheap, life is easy but somewhere like PH?
House rent alone for self contain is above 200k, feeding nko? Plus another mouth to feed?
That to me is suicidal except his wife earns 3times that amount.

Am also in p.h too
Exactly my point

Ajekpakororo:



YES I DO IT!
HANG YOUR SELF! !
PUT a robe rope, stretch it around your neck and hang!

I won't cos if I do you've lost a husband.

If she can't love u when you have nothing then she doesn't deserve your love when you have everything.

When will you have everything?

EggovinMma:



I give so much care about the salary of who I decide to marry tomorrow. My quest to acquire as much as I can is to give my children the best in case of any ill eventuality. I refuse to accept such meagre salary, although I really appreciate ladies who really don't see it as a problem.
It all boils down to choice.

Nne where in igbo land do you originate? Pls discard this Mentality when you are up to 30, Nne biko I beg you.

EggovinMma:


My brother, that was during our mother's time.Where I come from, as an igbo gurl, my father made sure he slaved to give me the best, despite the fact he is not a graduate. I CAN NOT MARRY A MAN THATS LESS THAT MY FATHER. I CAN NOT EAT THERE SQUARE MEALS IN MY FATHERS HOUSE, ONLY TO EAT ONCE A DAY IN MY HUSBAND S HOUSE.THATS ILL LUCK.I should be the one earning that kind of amount to support my husband, and not him.Its not a sin o, but it's way below what I grew up with despite we weren't rich.BROS, ONCE AGAIN HOLY GHOST FIREEEEE! !

Do you even read what you type? You'll use your hands to fire, not "holy ghost".... Start working, unless you'll be in for a long wait.

giffty:
Yes,but Lets be realistic,that amount is small,but why not we'll scale through,i don't intend getting married without a job(no way)so my salary plus his own;our marriage will going smoothly oo,the fact that he earns 50k won't even be noticed..but if i don't have a job;then i can't cox 50k cannot keep a home,..esp when a baby gets involved.....Here in PH,how will he even pay his rent?

Good u re in p.h......you get my point
Marriage ke....mba!

IHate9ja1:

still being jobless as @ present....i know how much i have spent this month on waka waka alone for p.h....i cant imagine having the guts to get married talkless of keep a girlfriend with a 50k salary....

favoured234:

Because you refused to tell me you are sorry.

OK, I am sorry

dasparrow:


The question you ought to be asking is: is N 50,000 naira enough to raise a family? After all, after marriage, you are going to knock your wife up right? And then junior will come along 9 months later. Pampers are expensive, baby food is expensive, daycare costs are climbing. You still have to pay rent, pay for transportation, feeds and take care of other miscellaneous expenses. Can N 50,000 take care of all that?

If you are indeed an intelligent man, you ought to know what N 50,000 naira is worth in today's Nigeria. You don't need to come in here asking your females if they can marry a man that is making N 50, 000 naira. Men like you are in a hurry to get married forgetting that it costs money to raise a family. When you dig yourself deeper into abject poverty, you begin to blame your leaders for your sorry predicament as if your leaders asked you to marry and have 4 children on a meagerly N 50,000 naira salary.

Be wise!

Very nice and detailed analysis...its all about survival of the couple after you have even borrowed loan to do the wedding....it doesnt make sense

Bro if u noticed I wrote "met ur type" so knw I'm nt only refering to her,btw I'm igbo too imo state,orlu LGA,I love my people,but our girls too dey Bleep up

Why is there so much ado on what ''he'' earns? What does ''she'' earn Abi man be donkey nii
Some ladies who aint working will soon invade this thread with funny replies now. If he earns 50k now doesn't mean it won't increase as time goes on and if it's not okay by your lady, by all means, take a hike

behind any successful man there is a woman.i jealous that person in ur front o

Tashaamania:
Why would a man earning 50k per month be thinking of marriage?
Does he even love his unborn kids?

even dose dat doesnt earn dat much still cope n manage with deir lives,dnt 4get dat happiness also counts n wealth doesnt determine dat...

EggovinMma:





You have to read my post well, else you are just wasting my time. I pointed out that a salary of 50k is meagre, except of course we are living in a place where the standard of living is low. I can't marry a guy of 50k, where I am earning also low and stay in places like Abuja, PH, etc.I WONT DO THAT! AND I DONT INTEND LIVING THERE EITHER.

n if i may ask,wot if ur husbnd ambitiuosly deside 2 migrate 2 an urban area wit hope of getti somefin better n still earns 50k,u would desert him i guess,rite??u ve berra brin ur head home bae

Monicasque:
ohh gosh this is really getting tiring now. Why does it always has to be about money. What happened to ladies can you marry a man who you love and who loves you back? guy I would marry my man even if he was earning R1K coz money is not everything. I know how it's like to be in lack, and I know how it's like to have plenty. so I have learnt to be content whatever the situation. besides, in a man one must look at his character and ambition, he might be earning R2K today, but the one who created him is not a fool, and I know for a fact that someone's current situation might differ a whole lot in the future. Obviously I cant marry an ambitionless idiot who I can just see that he should be left as he is because he is hopeless, and besides, if I also contribute in the household, that R50K might just have a partner / helper right ?

...God bless u
