Fact is millions of Nigerians have no steady legit 20k per month.

So the write up is very useful. Even many NLers talking still rely on parents, siblings, bfs, sugar daddies for 5 or 10k. Nor be 9ja.
In difficult times, managing the little you have is as important as looking for avenues to increase income.

You think unemployed men in their 30s & 40s are not shagging women, getting them preggy & living together/marrying?

Of course they are. It might not be what we deem as ideal. But it is simple reality.

Many couples delude themselves and ten years later, the finances is even worse off


We are just chatting, do you mind not personalizing or bringinging me into the discuss? I.e... If you are on such level of earnings, you have no business considering marriage.

dangotesmummy:
it is better,infact Its a better alternative to rely on your parents than enter a marriage when you're not financially stable

HMZi:
and thats exactly why u r 30 and *unmarried*.. grow sense

dangotesmummy:
is marriage an achievement? What happens after the wedding?

No wonder you're 30 and unmarried is a marriage pressure line going stale.my father will say even if you're 40 and not financially ready don't enter. Marriage and wedding aren't the same after wedding nobody go look yours side again including the marriage mockers you'll live with your decisions and start paying bills till you die

I started paying house rent at 19-20...I wonder why men of this generation won't stand up to take a stand...

dangotesmummy:
times have changed.20k in the late 80s or early 90s isn't the same again. The challenges of youths in the late 80s and early 90s isn't the same again.house rent in the late 80s and early 90s isn't the same.we live in more perilous, dangerous and unpredictable times now

Stop comparing when you were 19 then and now

bros i'm 30 and not married... don't mind the f00ls, let them jump in and see if marriage is a joke.

dangotesmummy:
abi. When I hear that 30 shades,I'm like so? So what.

The only thing you should be pained by is when they say no wonder you're 30 and haven't built a house,no wonder you're 30 and you don't have a big booming business

Obasajo was a head of state at 39,so what if you're 30 and unmarried? Ehen?

Well, as of 2003 earning an income at that young age, i wear slipper go market items, why can't men wake up and get the hustle on..which one is 20kper month

dangotesmummy:
it's not as easy as that.jobs are not as easy as buying indomie

supersystemsng:


Obasanjo at 58 had just 19,000naira in his bank account

supersystemsng:


Sir jobs maybe inexistent but needs will never be unlimited in this life...Sir, hustle, hustle, a man should hustle Sir, we are all not there but should have a sharp focus on where one's headed

dangotesmummy:
exactly. He should hustle and FORGET ABOUT MARRIAGE FOR NOW WHICH IS MY POINT

May God, May God...when God has given us the earth to put under our control. Men May we take full control of our lives with the help of God is the right direction... 20k per month is lame oh...

Lalas247:

Haha na epp I dey epp Op Na so he can understand how serious that 20k is

justifiedcoyy:
20k is not only lame, it is worse than lame. truth.

but the bitter truth is some families make/earn less than that.

the fact that I believe God can uplift doesn't mean I expect people to sit without making effort and expect God to uplift.

God has given us the earth to control doesn't mean people who don't make enough are lazy..

Romerocollins:

Me I tire ooooooo!!

vislabraye:

The Op did not factor in transportation.
This post is unrealistic although the Op means well. 30k a month is not enough for me talk less of 20k for a family. Na suffer head be dat. Abi which house person fir rent with 20k a month you come talk say make him pay tithe.

thunderbabs:

No, na gucci pant she dey buy

dangotesmummy:
a decent and conducive House for starters is 120k for a couple o and that's just a neat and habitable self con .so op supporters respect yourself.marriage is not your priority now if you're earning 20k
