So you think staying in Ikoyi is cheap because you bought the house and you think your frozen food business In Ikorodu will sustain you and maintain your cars?
Am I disappointed? Yes.
Will I ever stop supporting Arsenal? No.
I love this team, and no matter what phase they’re in, nothing will ever shake that loyalty.

January 7 2015. Two gunmen attacked a newspaper office and killed 12 people.
The entire nation of France was shut down for 2 days until the killers were cornered and ended.
Yes people die all over the world, the reaction of the govt to senseless killings is what makes the difference.
If you want to slander private universities in Nigeria, just remove CU from that list.
There's at least one CU graduate in each of Magnificent 7.
There are CU at Palntir and Anthropic
I know a CU guy at JP Fund of Funds
CU is our Ivy League!
If there was serious competition for @IkejaElectric@ieServe and @NationalGridNg they’d be so serious with work!
Enjoy it while it lasts! you’d be worthless soon!
I’d debunk this for the younger men and women who care to learn from both the biblical perspective and the common sensical perspective.
Biblically, marriage isn’t “my money vs your money”. Not for the husband and definitely not for the wife.
Marriage is two coming together to become one, it’s one household and a very healthy partnership. The Bible also consistently talks about unity and shared benefit, not individual ownership once you’re married.
The wife does not have sole authority over her own body, as the husband also have authority over her body. Likewise, the husband does not have sole authority over his own body, but the wife does (1 Cor 7:4). If marriage in the Bible is about shared authority over body, then it’s not a stretch to say finances are shared too. Paul literally says spouses don’t have exclusive authority over what’s their own anymore. And that principle doesn’t stop at the body, it extends to life, time, resources, and money.
Let me also add like I’ve always said, God is source and factual provider of every family. If He decides to bless your family through your wife, ditch any traditional that says you shouldn’t budget or plan with your wife’s money. That traditional is rooted in needless suffering and selfishness which takes the family no where.
It’s a doctrine made out to ruin marriages.

Common sensically, a woman’s income is to be used to plan and also budget for the future of the family. This is what is done in every part of the world but somehow, a black man would always be a black man. Indian women use their finances to improve their homes yet they havedivorce rates lower than Nigerian women.
Let’s even say 500k is enough to run the home each month, why is the 1M not going into building a project or some other investment choices that secure the future of the family?
What would a wife be doing with 1m each month when it can easily be used to push the family faster? Isn’t it self-sabotage to not help or support your family when you’re equipped and able to?
Always, remember wherever a person’s treasure(money) is their heart would be there. If your wife’s resources is used outside the family, in no time she would go outside.

Again, any marriage where finances are treated separate and/or valued over the well-being of the marriage is an unhealthy one. There are several studies supporting the fact that couples who pool all their money in joint accounts report higher relationship satisfaction than those who keep money separate or only partially combine it.
You can either choose to be an African man who sabotages his marriage with pride and tradition OR be a pragmatic husband who through the joint efforts of his wife, improve the life of his family.
You can also either choose to be an African woman who’s selfish with her finances and watches her family struggle while building a house in your own name and investing in your family of orientation OR be a woman with family values whose family advances through you…
At the end of the day the choice is yours.
May God grant us great health, growth, and security. May our nation finally begin to see its true promise, and may our youth be empowered to build, create, and lead. Happy New Year.
