I am 33 years old man, working in lagos. I am single and I am not in any serious relationship.
Problem now is that there are pressures everywhere in d office, from family to get marry but I wanted to establish a small buying and selling business first.
Note: I live in one bedroom flat, my monthly salary after taxes and pension is 65,000 naira and I have saved about 1 million naira now and wanted to save more for the business. What should I do now.

Ask yourself this question - are you ready for a wife? Can you sustain a wife and family on a 65k salary? My advice is you go for want U want, not what others want you to do. It's a very good idea you want to start a business, and also a great idea to be more financially stable before having a wife. U don't want to marry someone and make her suffer if u can't take care of her. You're still quite young at 33. I married at 35.

The decision to get married is a personal one, never you allow family or societal pressures force you to make that decision when you're not ready.

I am not suggesting you should never get married, nor am I against monogamy. I am simply saying you should avoid setting unrealistic expectations for yourself and others and that you need to look within instead of outwards before making “the marriage decision.”

Let's do the maths.
you have one million now
if you decide to marry now, bride price, traditional and white wedding will take more than half of ur 1m. After that you'll be left with little That Won't even be enough to start up a pure water business and you and your wife will have to rely on the 65k u earn. What's the rush about bro?
