If you are under 30 with no kids, I don't understand why you are afraid to take risks.
All that "what if it doesn't work BS doubts" are regrets you will look back to one day. Very soon.
You’re using “marry right” and “marry when you’re ready” to run from the fact you’re marrying late because of Nigeria’s economy. Right and Ready dos not mean it is not late. Still better right than wrong.
Some people marry early and when they are ready and it is early. You need to relax, and stop taking everything as an attack.
If it feels like an attack, it means you understand what marrying late means and you’re on that boat.
As an aside, one cultural feature I would like to delete from Nigerian society is men paying their female friends for sex.
Stop. Paying. For. Sex.
If you're going to pay, find an actual sex worker, do your transaction, have your experience, and keep it pushing.
Don't let that transactional stuff thing seep into your real life. Stop making it socially acceptable for people to have sex with each other in exchange for money without the psychological acknowledgment that this is prostitution (which to be clear, I have nothing against).
Sex is not a precious or rare commodity. It is not a capitalist invention. It is a human experience which must either be freely experienced or traded in an acknowledged transaction. While I am a proud advocate for prostitution (I think it serves a very important societal role), I think it is very important to keep prostitution and regular human relationships firewalled away from each other.
Because this lack of firewall is taking human relationships in Nigeria into this weird, hyper-financialised space where even in committed relationships and marriages, people are trading sex for money. Even in schools now, kids are normalising trading money for sexual favours. So instead of going through the normal, awkward, personality-building teenage development phase that a boy must pass through to become a man, boys are now learning that money is this magic shortcut/hack for getting everything including the girl you like without actually putting in effort or improving yourself in any way - that money in and of itself is what gives you value.
Part of the manifestation of the externally-driven modification of our society that I keep warning about is that 15 years ago, a 14 year-old boy in Igbosere who wanted to date the cute girl in his class would have had to make an effort to learn to hold a conversation, dress and smell good, maybe play a sport or 2 and learn to speak confidently so that Tinuke would notice him. Nowadays, his immediate visual reference for what "man near me who gets all the girls" looks like is one dirty loser on Twitter called Ezra who looks like he has a permanent smell, or one Yahoo Boy down the street with colour riot clothes and trousers hanging below his butt - simply because they wield money.
Someone is trying to morph Nigerian men into a group of disgusting, pathetic losers who try to fill the void in their souls by paying for everything under the sun including love, and we must resist it. There are only so many rich perverts and liquid social deviants. If enough Nigerian men collectively stop normalising the hyper-monetisation of sex, the equilibrium will be restored.
Both the Yahoo Boy with the blue tongue and mouth odour inside his Mercedes GLK, and the sociopath nerd waving his American VC dollars inside his Tesla are signs of the same loser disease that someone wants to become our norm, and we mustn't be afraid to tell losers that they are losers. A loser does not cease to be a loser simply on account of wielding money - money itself is a construct.

Nigeria has 200m population approx. and about 2 million people went for Hallelujah challenge for only 2 hours o.
Why couldn’t the remaining 198 million of you march to Abuja and make Nigeria work in just 2 hours since you believe that Nigeria will collapse in their absence in 2 hours.
Or is it that you 198m smart people can’t figure out what to do in the absence of less than 2 million Christians who went to pray? I thought you people were all brilliant intellectuals smarter than praying Christians. So how come you intellectuals were stranded and confused in the absence of praying Christians?
Your arguments defy reasonable logic and are fundamentally flawed.
I’ve been in the gadget and mobile sales space for a while and it began to amaze me while they have refused to tap in to this wealth and readily available market.
Dear @gregjoz , look into this ocean of possibilities.
I woke up in the early hours of the day, a couple days before today and iPhone and Apple @AppleSupport@Apple at large started flocking my mind.
Why does Apple @AppleSupport@Apple do not an Apple Store in Nigeria? considering the available market in this part of Africa.
