We keep blaming the government but our parents is the cause of 90% of the problems we face today.
As a man, you know you can't even feed three square a meal or pay your rents yet you still go ahead and get married.
Start giving birth to kids you can't cater for yet you keep blaming the government.
You are worse than the devil himself.

The decision whether to get marry or have kids should be a personal one, not pressure from family and friends.

Na this same thing I dey face. Business still building up slowly. Mid 30s. Not up to 1m in my whole savings and rent due this month 750k. How I wan take marry when to pay rent na war.

E be like I go relocate comot this Lag.. and go share space with my fam for East, save up money buildup business again. because e done red since no be today.

Na why to marry young babe make sense. Like 20 - 23. Even if una wait 3 years she'll still be young and able to reproduce.

Na why man dem need hustle smarter. Safe money so you go fit feed your fam or have a land you can farm on.

Worse mistake any man can make is to marry when you know your income is not enough and some even send themselves to their early grave by marrying a woman who doesn't offer anything to the family other than sit at home be answering house wife

The word of God clearly stated, develop your business before you build your home. But people build their home before they develop their business. And this is the major reason marriages fail.

Oloshooos aside, those ones are already cursed. But in reality, go through the bible and see for yourself if Isaac's father sweet talked Rebecah's people. Check out the sturvs he sent, then ask yourself as a man if you should get married if you are still struggling to feed.

Good point but not always correct as some peoples breakthrough are rooted in their marriage. I have advised a friend to get marry to his fiance after he was in labour market for 9 years without a job until he started a small business. He got a woman who was a primary school teacher and I just felt his breakthrough may come when he gets married. I even sponsored their wedding and 3 years after they got America lottery visa and relocated abroad. Fortunate enough he got a good job over there even with the certificate that he could not get employment with in Nigeria . The day he bought a new car over there he called to thank me for encouraging him to take the right decision.

The pattern has changed, back then we had a less corrupt system (government) which made life more easier than today current system and hardship.
Also couple of decades ago most men were into farming, fishing (agricultural stuff) which can feed you and ur family effortlessly.

Personally I don't think a man should get married now, cause the pressure eh, u must wear thick skin for it. E.g a man on 80-100k salary taking care of wife and 3 kids,
Me that makes 30k weekly I don't even know what I do with the money.

Why did u go to school knowing fully well that ur degree won't earn u a job?

I hope that answers ur question
You're wrong

You can't compare both. we're the major cause of poverty in Nigeria before government. our mentality as Africans is so wack reason why we're a third world country. Most average Nigerian consider age for marriage. once a man is getting close to 40 and he's poor, he'd be considering marriage. Even if he'll stay in his father's house. That is why poverty will forever keep growing in Nigeria. He will get married and hope the children will bring blessings or any of the children might growup and become Dangote😂

There's this guy in my neighborhood, he should be in his early or mid 40s, he's a security guard who barely feed. he lives in his father's house. he was given a room self contain. he impregnated a lady and brought her home. the lady has put to bed. i heard he has left the security job and was given a bike to ride on hirepurchase. That is how poverty keep growing because another generation has come in with additional mouth to feed

in every 100 poor people in Nigeria, hardly will 10 among them escape poverty at the end. The rest obviously die poor and the baton to their children

some get married having known that they're poor so it'd be suicidal to them not to have a child or children. to them they felt they've lost in both sides if they didn't have a child.

Going to school is not basically to get job. it's far beyond that. Although our educational system has outlived the purpose of educating the masses. nonetheless, you can't compare getting education to how the poor keep breeding and getting married with the "E go better" mantra across generation to generation

Just pray you don't find yourself in such situation. It is very easy for us to judge from distance. There are some that works all their lives but can't make it, so at 40 or 45, you don't tell them to remain single for life just because they are yet to make it.

I know someone who was afraid of getting married but now 43yrs old withiout a wife. I also know a guy who married with an average income but now doing very well in UK. Sometimes, being married bring out the best from you because you have bills to pay. It make you focus on your goals and works harder.

What I hate most is when you keep giving birth to children you can't cater for.

With my little understanding of life, I don't blame anyone again for the position they found themselves.
