"Why would I submit my salary to my husband?" - Woman opens up about reasons for avoiding joint account in her marriage (Video)

In a viral video, Nigerian woman named Bukola Ipinyomi shares her views on financial independence in marriage, stating that she earned more than her husband when they got married and believes in managing her own money rather than pooling it together in a joint account with him. Bukola explains that before marriage, she decided to marry someone who was ready to work and contribute equally to their finances. She said; “We cannot operate joint account because I am a better manager of money than my husband.” She criticizes women who rely solely on their husbands’ income and give up their own salaries. Her video has been widely discussed on social media, with some supporting her progressive ideas while others disagree. Regardless, Bukola stands firm in her belief that women should have financial independence and contribute equally to their family’s prosperity. @Atakiti Micheal said; “Look at the way her husband is smiling..

“114% salary increase for Tinubu, Shettima not appropriate now” ― Peter Obi

"114% salary increase for Tinubu, Shettima not appropriate now" ― Peter Obi

The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate,  Peter Obi has condemned the alleged recent approval of a 114 per cent increase in the salaries of elected politicians, including the President, vice president, governors, lawmakers, as well as judicial and public office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC. Obi lamented that this is not the appropriate time for such salary increment if it is necessary, arguing that Nigerians are struggling with many harsh economic realities, and with over 130 million Nigerians living in poverty.

"114% salary increase for Tinubu, Shettima not appropriate now" ― Peter Obi

Peter Obi In a post via his verified Twitter handle on Thursday, Obi argued that “one would have expected the leaders and public officeholders to focus on cutting the cost of governance and alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians”. He added that leaders should prioritize what affects the masses and those on the lower strata of society over themselves. Obi wrote, “I learnt with great reservation, the approval of a 114% increase in the salaries of elected politicians, including the President, vice president, governors, lawmakers as well as judicial and public office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC). “This is not the appropriate time for such salary increment if it is at all necessary. We are living in a time when an average Nigerian is struggling with many harsh economic realities, and with over 130 million Nigerians now living in poverty. This is a moment when recent reform measures by the government have increased living costs astronomically. “One would expect the leaders and public officeholders to focus on cutting the cost of governance, alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians. This moment calls for creative ways of pulling the majority out of poverty. “In the immortal words of Shakespeare’s Julius Ceaser, ‘What touches us ourself shall be last served.’ “The leaders, therefore, should prioritize what affects the masses and those on the lower strata of society over themselves. “The sacrifice, at this time in our nation, should be borne by the leaders. The increment should be reversed immediately, and the savings should be devoted to fixing education, healthcare and poverty alleviation especially in the remote rural areas.”

Source: Twitter The lady disclosed to him that aside from her salary, she loves her job because it makes her happy. However, the young man insisted she resigns from her job because her reason is not realistic. She tweeted, “This guy in Nigeria that knows my family asked if it would be okay for him to speak to my parents about marriage and I said no. I don’t have an interest in marrying him. “He asked why and I have my reasons. He focused on the financial reason. I simply said we aren’t in the same financial place and I don’t think it’s fair on both of us. “One, I don’t want to limit my lifestyle and he shouldn’t have to be pressured to earn more. It’s just unfair for both of us imo. He asked if I would give up my work for love and I said absolutely not. I explained I love my job, it’s something that brings me happiness and makes me who I am. It’s also part of my personal brand so it simply cannot go.  “He said my reasoning is not realistic. He gave me a range of his annual salary in naira which was around 100,000 – 200,000 which is fine and I said that isn’t bad. That’s what he earns and good on him. “I gave mine in naira which is 28 million – 34 million and he said I can’t earn more than my husband. “I called him insecure and he said a man is supposed to be the provider and there is nothing insecure about that. So I told him to go and provide for someone within his bracket. He can’t provide for me so he said he will report me to my family. “I don’t care if he reports me ’cause my family would legit laugh. The mentality alone is even madness. Why can’t I earn more and why would I give up that salary and work? He said women of nowadays want to be like men. Is this what Nigerian women deal with?”  Am I in the wrong here. Small story. This guy in Nigeria that knows my family asked if it would be okay for him to speak to my parents about marriage and I said no. I don’t have an interest in marrying him.

GistReel

A Nigerian man, Gbadamosi Musbau, has shared how his friend saved his marriage by placing him on N30k monthly salary. The grateful man in his tweet revealed that his friend carried out the kind hearted gesture during the COVID-19 pandemic. He recounted that he was working as a teacher at a school where he was paid N30,000 per month, but due to the pandemic lockdown he stopped getting salary.

He stated that a friend known as Ilemona Omeje started paying him salary monthly during the lockdown era and he did so until schools reopened. Gbadamosi was full of thanks and prayers for the guy who came to his rescue at a time he needed financial help. He wrote: “I got married in 2020 during covid. My 30K teaching job stopped paying due to school closure. My friend, Ilemona Omeje placed me on monthly salary till our school opened back. May Allah continue to bless him for me.” See the tweet below:

fs yusuf

A political activist identified as FS Yusuf stirs mixed reactions following his claim on how N400K salary is insufficient to sustain a married person montly. Yusuf in a tweet argued that the current economy of Nigeria cannot sustain a family to survive on a salary of N400K. He pressed on to add an if statement on how it is possible only with the help of a rich family, friends and acquaintances.

“Except everyone in your family is doing well and your friends/acquaintance are doing well, else 400K/ month is no enough especially if you are married with kids in this country. Except you have no plans to save or invest. School fees for early child education can wipe full off month salary,” he wrote.
