Which cloth Oga smello? Nor be everybody be tailor oooo

Me wey wan marry person like Nicki Minaj nko? Abeg nor dey discourage our brodas wey sabi dream big!

Smellymouth:



Hahahahah.. My fellow Barrackian, I have seen guys getting married with absolutely nothing and they are happy with their marriages..

I have also seen people have it all when they get married and then loose it all...

It would be unwise to only consider one aspect of the marriage and ignore the other aspects. You focus on money and ignore the type of spouse you are marrying, you focus on the spouse and ignore the finances..

Considering one aspect in its singularity is not advisable as they are all tied together in an intricate way. the finances are as important as the person you are getting.

Xiadnat:
We get it...alright mate. Mr. Economist. You want to be a Millionaire before you settle down. So just send that lady who rocks your world packing because you aint a millionaire yet, right? Abeg, do tell her that on your date from day one so she can find the next exit soonest.

Clearly, you have being hitting your economic books. Good. Now keep hustling for that million...if you are lucky till gray hair starts appearing.

In the mean while, just know, not everyone will be "mark zuckerberg", you may have to settle for a regular shmoe.

It's your kind that will keep chasing money and never quite pin it down. Good luck tho.

Smellymouth:


Egbon, make I nor lie, na dat kind babe I like marry.. But ==>

Buhahahaha!

chronique:
Yes,even at that,you don't need 5m. Except you're not expecting additonal income over the next 12 months.

joseph1832:
Bros ye, abeg, me I tell you say the babe wey go marry man wey dey earn 40K go either be village babe, or an upright girl wey her papa and mama train her well well.

Indeed, I know money isn't all, but money play a major role. I tell you this, if na Lagos you dey dey earn 40K a month, after you comot money for transport, how much you think say the person go get for pocket?

Hahahahah.. I understand boss.. Gidi na crazy place..

Transportation From Ilupeju to Lekki fit collect person salary..

falconey:

sure I'm not are you?

With this your 5m initial capital,I don't think you will be.

I am still a work in progress

If the basic needs can be provided, then you're good to go.

IamLEGEND1:
Forget long story..... no money = bachelorhood for life.

falconey:


you think 5m is unattainable?

falconey:



yes sir and when there is change in economy policy, will the priority sustain such family? 80k is too small sir, unless the man has a huge savings in the bank. this 80k can not sustain a family for a month with rent, inflation and tax rate on direct and indirect goods and services etc

family expands, needs grow and number increases, with income not more than 150k it will be difficult to cater and save. before a man will plan to marry he should at least have #5m.

danbrowndmf:
80k will still do. U talk as if house rent is payed every month. School fee is been paid after every 4months. Y'all over hype the bad economy sef. My uncle dnt even have up to 2m in his acct when he married early this year.all is about total planing sir.

Oahray:
the op didn't say you should get married without having money. He's only saying you don't have to be very rich to get married. You CAN (not must) get married and build on what you already have with your wife. How's that delusional?

Oliviaarims:


If you have a take home pay of 30k and you're sure you're ready for marriage, then by all means get married. But the onerous task would be finding the right woman. Yes, because indeed it is true that a lot of women would not want to put up with that. But a woman with the right values and also her own means of sustenance (no matter how small) would stick with you and believe in your visions (supposing you have one.) She'd be a true home builder and a comforter.

The gospel truth really is that, there are a good number of such women out there, but the men prefer to chase and spend lavishly on the wrong ones. They believe money would fix it all. This is so not true.

Men should stop tripping over themselves because they want the lady with the nice ass and boobs and body and pretty face. Those should be the icing on the cake. The first and most important thing is values...attitude...virtues.. .character.

I haven't seen it all, true. But I've learnt a lot... And I'm grateful for those lessons.

I know when all those are paid before I asserted. outside necessities they are other expenses one can incur brother.

joseph1832:
Yes you can get married and build on what you have. The question now remain, how many women of today will want to build on a marriage where the husband isn't raking in good sums up money?

I guess you OP should have actually hit the nail on the head and state exactly what he meant by "financially buoyant".

Xiadnat:
Well said olivia.

They rather chase the boobs, the ass, the ditzy, fake hair, nails, eyelash and painted on face.

They think money gets and keep those women.

My brother in law, God bless, is still "hustling" for his dreams tho with three kids but luckily for him, my sister makes enough to support and contribute in the mean time.

So yea, finding the right woman is the key but many of then wont listen.

Apparently, money buys them pride, respect and dignity.

Oahray:
don't blame us for coming to that conclusion. Some ladies would kiss frogs if they think the frogs are rich.

So yes, money gets the majority of women. If one keeps getting richer by the day, it would likely keep his woman too.

polariss:
your missing my drift.
before marriage its all about love but after marriage its all about bills and when the bills starts coming a man had better have a laced boot of cash to foot it.
broke men want to get married but the women dont want no broke men.

zicoraads:

Let's get married then

I can guarantee you your basic needs and that of at least two lovely kids

However, excess Brazilian hair and other 'jolification' will have to take the back burner, for now

joseph1832:
Please even people who don't live and spend lavishly still complain about their meagre earnings,

Tell me dear, do you know how much the average graduate earn in a month? That is after removing transportation and the likes, especially if that graduate work and live in Lagos.

Also, which modern day nigerian woman would want to marry a man who 'manage' his 'meagre income', I believe this same modern day nigerian women will readily call such man "a miser" or even "a stingy man".

Then again dear, can you marry such a man?

Oliviaarims:


They won't tell you the truth. Yes, the money may bring the women, but it doesn't exactly buy fulfilment...contentment, love ,happiness and loyalty from these women. Only they know the things they go through. They know their regrets, but won't tell the world. What logical explanation can one give for spouses who start cheating a few months or years after getting married? And some of them, especially the men cheat until they get into their graves.

falconey:


yeah savings, a job with stable income or an investment with good yield, either of the mentioned would do. depending on your occupation.

lol, you make it sound like it is a team work, a wife choose to support while a man has to support. from many homes I have come to realise that when a woman is rich her mother,father and siblings come first then her family if the husband couldn't provide at that time while for a man his wife and children first before anyone. I stand corrected thou no prose.

Oliviaarims:


You should have taken note of my use of "sometimes. "
