I have a very strong belief, but you don't have to agree with me.

If you work hard as a man to take good care of your wife, provide for her for the most part, & treat her with kindness.

You'll most always succeed in whatever you do.

But if she's a bad wife to you, despite doing all those.

You'll struggle badly, until she leaves your home.

The day you choose your wife, you have chosen your destiny.

End.

A few days ago, I gave an advice to single ladies on how to show their boyfriends financial prudency & concern, where & when it's needed.

Some months ago, I made a post.

I had said (for example), if their boyfriend was stupid enough to give then say N500k to buy a hair, they should buy a hair of N100k and show their boyfriends what they turned the remaining N400k into.

That way, they're learning to be financially accountable and showing prudence.

The more you do this as a lady, the more your man starts to become financially transparent towards you.

And the more he starts to trust you with his financial plans and his finances.

You don't just expect your man to be completely or fairly honest with earnings or finances, just because he's married to you.

Even though is highly advisable to do so.

It starts from relationship, & builds over time.

A man can still decide to marry you, if you have not convinced him enough that he can be open to you about his finances.

And that's because he knows who he's married to.

Before I married my wife, she knew what I was earning.

From the very first pay post-NYSC till date.

And that's because in our 9 years of relationship, she proved that she could be trusted.

And I have never regretted that decision.

I also recall telling men that before they marry, they should say this to their women:

"My darling, this is what I earn each month. Will you be able to get married to me with this amount of income, while I work hard to make more?"

Let her willingly decide if that's what she can live by.

So that she can build her expectations around it.

It's only a greedy woman that will know that her husband earns N100k, and would be demanding for N150k.

But if you earn N100k, and you make her feel like you make N300k, would you blame her if she demands for N150k?

When you should have prevented that in the first place?

End.

I want to say this to young single ladies in Africa that are relocating to the western world.

Please know that you may unfortunately remain single for a very long time, if you relocate & you do not have any serious relationship before leaving.

Out there, it's everyone on their own.

Especially if you do not have your papers.

Loneliness will be the order of the day, & dating apps will be your best app.

Then the men that you'd be meeting, will mostly be using you to cure Kongi.

They'll not want to commit into anything serious with you.

Before you know it, you're already in your 30s with no husband in sight.

Few of you will be fortunate to meet serious men that can even marry you.

But like I always say...

Do not pray to be an exception, because that exception may not be you.

End.

When I advised young single men in serious relationship that, it's better for them to cheat with a pr******te, than to cheat with another lady that is also looking for a husband, some of you may have thought the advise was improper.

I can't advice men not to cheat, because I am a man. And I know that most men will never take that advice.

And it will be hypocritical of me to even do that.

So what do I do?

It's to advice them to be careful.

You have a serious relationship. You know this is the girl that you want to marry. You know that you're a potential bachelor because life is beginning to take good shape for you, & your future is bright.

Which lady would see potentials in you, and would not want to try to win you over?

She may act foolishly, and that is your weakest link.

Even if you want to cheat with her, why not use a condom to avoid things like either STIs or STDs or pregnancy?

You must protect your relationship, & not let another lady that you do not want to marry, ruin things for you.

Relationship takes time to build. Your commitment towards a lady takes time for you to give it.

And if you have secured yourself a good woman for you, please use your sense, & protect your future wife from hurt, betrayal and disappointment.

Yes, you may not marry the lady that deliberately got pregnant for you, but she will be carrying your child.

Would you throw the baby away with the bath water?

And even if you serious girlfriend decides not to leave you, and you eventually marry her, she'll be nursing that hurt for many years.

She'll continue to use it to torment your peace, & she may not love that innocent child.

And you can't blame her.

You deprived her of her right to bear your first child.

Which is every woman's innermost wish & dream.

Your marrying her or making her your wife won't automatically erase that betrayal.

I hope you all take this counsel seriously.

Despite all the praises that I give to my lovely wife, I am still the one that tell you that women do not love men.

And that's God's design.

You can argue this all you want.

But my honest prayer for you, is that may something bad not happen to your source of livelihood.

That is when you would see the true woman that you married.

I am telling you young men now, because you may do everything right and legitimate, but life happens to some of the best and kind of us.

You really need to take your relationship seriously.

Take the harder right, than the easier wrong.

How you date your future wife, will determine how well she would cope with you, treat you and respect you in marriage, when or if things go wrong with your finances.

You will surely notice changes in your wife, should anything happen to your shield.

And you would notice them in two forms.

1) is she changing because she is silently regretting getting married to you, and is ready to crash the marriage unless you sit up?

2) Or is she changing because she's genuinely worried about you, the children that you both have, & is feeling so depressed because the man she truly wants to spend the rest of her life with, is in distress?

If it's the former, the foundation of your relationship was poor, and you did not take time to vet and date with all sincerity of purpose, and she didn't really earn her place.

If it's the latter, then you married right and did things the proper way. And life is just happening to you, but you're married to a kind woman.

All these things that I have saying for years, are as a result of things that I have experienced, seen in real life from others, & from thousands of DMs that I have read from this community.

Nothing is more difficult for you to achieve as young men, like finding a wife.

It's very hard.

You must do it the right way, and do it afraid, too.

As long as you believe in marriage, and you want to have children under a balanced home, this is something that you must not treat with levity.

Finance is so important in marriage.

But it's not important in relationship.

It's so because you must first find your wife without money inducement, so that you can mold her to prepare for the times of lack.

And then, even if it happens that she surpasses you financially, she may still be submissive to you as her husband.

Even though this one is tough, but it happens.

Everything depends on how you led her before you married her.

The reality of marriage is different from the realities of relationship.

That woman that you thought was the next best thing to slice bread, will show you what you never imagined.

I don't know how else to explain these things, but I sincerely hope I am passing a message to those who would care to think deep, far, and assimilate it.

Please take my words seriously, & you'll be fine if you do.

First, you're not married to your wife

A man's true wife cannot be behaving the way yours is behaving.

She wants to take away your source of livelihood that God has given to you, to use to provide for her and your kids (if you have).

Any human (not just your wife) that wants to destroy your source of legitimate income is an evil person.

And unfortunately, you're married to one.

Thankfully, she moved out of her matrimonial home.

And then she still went to lie to your boss that you chased her out of the house.

Let me tell you this.

Any married woman that abandons her matrimonial

home, when it's not her husband that sent her packing, should never be begged to return.

What is keeping her outside of her matrimonial home, is bigger than what would keep her inside of it.

And her second coming is mostly to come and finish what she started.

Why would she be going to your boss to report you all the time?

Two things:

It's either she wishes to sleep with your boss, or it has happened already.

And if that's not the case, please know that a married woman who always wants to report her husband to another man, is making herself

vulnerable to that man.

Especially if it's always unsolicited, and done with insidious rhetorics.

Unless the man is not interested.

Regardless, she has behaved badly, showed dangerous traits, & now saying that she wants to come back?

Glad that your mother is still alive, & she never supported you to marry her.

The mistake has been made, but you have to protect yourself now.

Get your mother involved, & your mother will show her why she's a woman.

Unfortunately, your marriage is not the type of marriage that I would even wish for my enemy.

End.

Dear married men that are not working in good corporate firms in Nigeria.

Please try to get a good health insurance for yourself & family.

With like 200k per year, you, your wife & up to 2 kids are covered.

Health emergencies may come up when you're broke.

End.

22/12/2025

Let me repeat.

Women know when they are not treating you with kindness and respect.

If your girlfriend leaves you for another man, & later comes to plead for forgiveness, forgive her from afar.

Do not say that you want to keep her, so that you can be fu***ng her.

She'll deliberately get pregnant for you, and will refuse to terminate it.

Granted, you don't have to marry her because of that.

But know that you'll be tied to the mother of your child forever.

Unless the child isn't yours.

Put simply, do not make a woman that you do not consider good enough for you, the mother of your child or children.

End.

Whether you like it or not as a man.

Marry at 29 or marry at 45, you'll still be financially responsible for your wife and children.

You can't escape it.

Unless you remain single for life.

And the more you delay, the more expensive it becomes.

That you have 20m in your account or investment as a single man at over 35, doesn't mean that you're richer than a married man & father below 35 years old, with 5m in his account.

You have not started.

He has started.

And he has started early.

As you dey old dey go, na so your s***m dey weak, & Grey hair dey show.

You go dey buy pampers in your 40s and you no go better sleep for night.

Something a lot of married men stopped experiencing before they got to 40.

Dey there dey do "old papa youngie".

Mtsheww.

16/12/2025

If you're earning say 100k, please do not tell the woman that you want to marry that you're earning 300k.

If you don't trust her enough, it's better you keep quiet.

If she discovers in marriage that you lied to her, she may make your life miserable in that marriage.

End.

15/12/2025

Dear women,

These are things that you should never say to your man, out of anger.

Whether you meant them or not.

1) I can poison you
2) I can stab you
3) If you cheat, I'll cheat back
4) If you break my heart, I'll curse you
5) My ex is better than you

A man's ego is a large as an elephant, but as fragile as an egg.

And his ego is his weapon.

If you attempt to disarm him, he will attack and defend himself.

Your feelings are you greatest enemy.

If you know this, you'll bridle your tongue as a woman.

End.
