Wait, a man who earns 200k per month shouldn't start a family? Nigerian Twitter users share opinions

Twitter Users in Nigeria are arguing on whether a Man earning N200,000 salary per month should conveniently start a family. While some believe it's adequate, others claim its not. More interestingly, some Ladies are stating that since Nigerian men easily make demands such as 'My wife must be submissive or know how to cook", they should also be able set standards for themselves and demand for a better life in order to start a family. See more tweets after the cut and tell us what you think.

    4. As innnnn eh these issues are so baseless. I married my husband in 2014 he had a 70k job and I didnt have a job then cos I had to relocate to where he stays. Now he earns above 300k and I have been more than happy because most importantly I married for love. So if 200k too small to even start with ma binu nor warry mbok. Anny

    what of we that our father raise when he couldn't even earn 3000 as a salary? Go around lagos,aba,onitcha,ibadan,borno,,kastina,kano,kaduna,zamfara and see how much many of them were earning and still yet they are not complaining.
    We should stop all these attention.

You never spoke of assisting your wife in the kitchen in that post about Wife Not Cook, but she should work and help your 200k life. So, what are men good 4? Spilling sperm and watching football?

  10. Seriuosly all the people ranting now how much did their father earned as salary,if only you know what majority of people go through in the real sense to earn money and make a living you will be amazed...maybe a reasearch should be done on that and documented for these silly brats that cant even make 20k themselves to see..lets forget about the 5% of the super rich how does the remaining 85% earn their wages???...the hustle is real in nigeria and by every standard 200k per month is not bad as take home(please compare to our minimum wage and understand the complexity)

  13. People and pretence. Make dem dey there dey wait for 200k above salary. Even here in Abuja u cut ur clothes according to ur size how can u go and rent 1m house. Our parents raise us far less than what we earn today and we all graduated successfully and doing well. Guyz don't wait till u start earning 200k b4 u get married. Find a partner and settle down bcos time waits for no man. Some pple on Twitter will be 60 yrs plus and their kids will still be in nursery school (SMH)

  15. The painful part is that some of these babes ranting that they cant marry a guy that earns 200k per month are from poor homes...It's not a must u send your kids to Corona if u cant afford it....Some of those babes even attended public schools....Mind you....My husband earns 200k and I earn 150k,we're doing wonderfully great...It's all about priority...Even if your husband earn 1million naira per month,if u didn't set your priorities right,your home,marriage,finances and lots will still crumble

  16. Well on a more serious note,N200,000 in this present time might or might not be adequate based on the current state of hardship in this country.One has to be financially buoyant before starting a family;you can't expect one to be living a life of borrowing.

  19. To me, 200k is enough. After all will d wife just be idle?will she be out of a job? When both couple earn money, it's easier to take care of a family. Besides, no one should be having more than three kids in this present days.

  22. Wtf are they saying? Over 45% of family men in Nigeria earn 200k or less monthly... And that's a matter of fact! You just have to economise or you agonise.. 200k is very ok. Remember our minimum wage in this country is 18k and most of them 18k-45k earners are married with kids

  26. Keep waiting for a man dat earns much more dan 200k monthly and wen u finally meet him, ur fellow parents will be addressing u as 'mummy/daddy' during ur child's PTA meeting,and u will see urself still going for 'school runs'at 60yrs. Time waits for no one. U should marry a good man with vision and also make a living so as to augment wateva he earns. #justsaying#

  49. Well im highly disappointed with some comments on this topic, I believe that someone that earn 200k can marry comfortable with support of his wife because is two people that come together to build a home. The major problems Nigeria have is that our women rely on their husbands without any contribution or supportive as a wife, i could remembered i was raised in a family my mum earn #12,000 a month back in 80's and we all (7 Childrens)end up be a landlords in Lagos and 4 leave in abroad. The key point is the amount earn monthly, but the love and support we have for each other.

    ReplyDelete
  50. No employer will pay u more than 10% of your productivity,that means you u are a potential two million per month earner if u decide to be your own boss,but for all those lazy women out there waiting for a man earning above 200k will finally end up with borrow pose fine boy with zero income,oyo is your case.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Here in Dhaka, I earn close to that sewing clothes. But in Lagos it is ok, especially if your or newly married or want to have on child. With a single child you could save 300K a year. It depends if they want to live within their means. Have one or two children and call it a day.

    Housing (25%)
    Transportation (15%)
    Food (15%)
    Iyawo/stuff (10%)
    savings (10%)
    health (5%)

  56. This has to be one of the funniest post ive seen since Wedesday. Please we can right here see why marriages never last in this our generation. These ladies posting up and down should go and ask their folks if na so them they find good men. Yeah 200k might not be that much but its OK to START a family. Before your kidz come you can plan for education and what not. HMMM majority of rich young men will marry you and still feel superior to your dead asses and cheat on you and do you anyhow cause he knows 70% reason why you married him is cause of the comfort he cn provide for you (doesnt mean you cant find good rich men). NIGERIAN LADIES OPEN YOUR EYES. Only in this country you hear such.

  57. Oh my God! There are no wives out there anymore cos wives know how to manage their family with anything the husband brings home. God created them to manage.
