Well, the simple answer anybody will give is a resounding NO....but should a man marry a lady who has no job?... I guess that is a norm but wait for this...what if a lady marries a man with a job and then the man losses the job afterward?...will she leave him?.... Now you thinking...

Don't get it twisted...it makes no sense for any man to go into marriage without a job or a means of livelihood especially when a man’s potential is harder to see than the number of commas on his bank statement forgetting the fact that wealth acquisition is progressive, a continuum aided by hard work and determination...

I strongly believe that the reason why there is so much emphasis on a man's financial status as a criterion for marital suitability is because of the financial dependence mindset of many ladies on their men. In my opinion, when it comes to making money, there is no weaker sex hence I see nothing wrong with a lady who has a job or means of livelihood getting married to her man even if he has no job at that point in time...Job will always come and there is no guaranty that the one who has a job won't lose it.

A lady who finds it cool dating a man that has no job and happily performs wifely duties for him should not have issues with marrying the same man? Simply have a low key wedding and work hard together with him to build finances before making babies rather than allow yourself to be used as an intimacy gadget by the ''jobless guy''.

Ladies have equal opportunity to be financially independent just as the men and every lady must strive to be financially independent so that she can be with any man of her choice rather than marry a man simply because he is financially capable and also avoid using a job which can be there today and be gone tomorrow or financial status which is subject to change as a yardstick to being with any man.

It is normal for an employed man to marry a lady with no job. A jobless man has bigger issues to handle than marriage. Except he's marrying a very rich woman who doesn't mind his joblessness.

This thread isn't for me

A source of Income is important

A man without a job shouldn't have marriage in his dictionary.....!
What man in his right senses considers marriage without a means of livelihood.

You like to dish out unnecessary banters waiting for war of words from both genders, then sit on the fence, watching and smiling as it happens, without choosing a side or a clear cut message.

Are you trying to say that it is better for a lady to marry a jobless man because he can get a job later, than marrying a man with a job who can also become jobless later?

Are you also trying to insinuate that marrying a jobless man who can also have a job later, can't also loose the same job

Odikwa very riskyyyyyy.

I doubt any reasonable jobless guy will want to get himself into such mess!!! My question be say how dia pen*s dey take erect knowing fully well knowing that they are jobless?

First check your own energy.

don't to listen to garbage. Dating is different from marriage.

A man without job that wants to marry is a foolish man and the religious books say we shouldn't associate ourselves with a foolish man.

So tell me, what is the drift?

Phew!

Risky

any man who is jobless have no business with marriage.
Any woman too who is jobless or not into any business should not talk about marriage.
simple. Na so life be.

Jobless and what comes to your mind is marriage. Instead of focusing on how to get yourself busy. I’m talking to both gender. As for me I can’t marry a jobless man.

I read it too and I can't get the drift

Lalasticlala what is your take?

@op. what kind of silly question you r asking?
Tomorrow now, u will say Na garri the jobless man give u to drink.. Be constructive when asking question

So much sense in this post

But it's also good to know that a man can lose his job anytime. So marrying a man because he has or doesn't have a job shouldn't be the main criteria.

What stops the lady from having a job to cater for the house?

So if a man has no job, he can't marry but a jobless lady can.. The man without job today can have job tomorrow so that shouldn't be a yardstick.

But a man can marry a girl without a job?

let's be frank here..how can a right thinking man with no job or means of livelihood be thinking of marriage, imagine such insolence..even to date without getting income no matter how little, is bad enough let alone marriage..even as i am right now, it was my babe that forced relationship on me, coupled with love and other things,..i swear left for me i wont be in any fucking relationship till i make money!

Toks2008:
Lalasticla what is your take?

When you married and the man loses his job, u will him knowing he's up to the task and it will . How do you know a jobless man ain't just there to leech off on you once u marry him?

They both got different commitment levels.

na wa o which kind question be dis and why would he agree to get married with no job at hand..na all this kind thing dey cuz see finish mtchwwww

Abort mission!

No

I for one would not suggest it however, it needs be treated on a case by case basis.
