Bros look before you leap, building a house is a worthwhile project but you need to have the financial strength to embark on it. It also takes time to accomplish as its not an off the shelf activity. 250K support from her is a good sign but that's barely enough to get started. My advice is that you rent a flat first, get married, start a home together and then take things one at a time.

250k contribution to build house grin

If you accept that money, your case will be like igbos that came to Lagos and said they built Lagos

She will never let you have peace, she will say she built you and developed you grin

Some things don't seem right

Building a house to completion in this economy is a not a child's play and the fact that she says she's willing to wait for as long as it takes else no marriage is where the real concern is

She may have good intentions but thread with caution no matter how comforting her advice may seem

Last week I proposed to my long time girlfriend and fiancee and she accepted me.

We discussed a whole range of topics and we are convenienced that we can live our lives together. But one thing we disagree on is the issue of house: she said we must build a house together before settling down but I suggested we tie the knot and live in a rented apartment before planning to build our personal house but she insisted we must build.

She said we will contribute money to build together, she won't leave me alone in the project. She even suggested withdrawing her savings of #250, 000 so we can buy land. I have the money and apart from my daily hustle I have other side businesses that springs me money occasionally.

I want to settle down as soon as possible but she cited the problems that comes along with living in a rented apartment. I really wish to settle down but this lady won't agree.

I don't want to cause problem between us so how do I go about convincing her?
You have the money, then what is stopping you from building your house before even proposing.


The moment you start paying rentage, especially in hundreds of thousands, you will find out that the you would have eaten into the suppose capital, and the building plan either postponed or entirely cancel.


Even the marriage ceremony will first eat into a good chunk of your account, and you will find yourself postponing the necessary until unforseen (which I don't pray for) wreck things.


When you have capital to invest, do it immediately, because something else might make that capital unavailable tomorrow.

That's just for a start. She promise to contribute much in the process as she also has a well paying job.

My brother, make sure that the name on the land document is yours. Don't be fooled. She may lure you to buy a land with her name. After building it, she will invite her main man and chase you out. Becareful of this gender

bro let me give u my own personal experience about issues like this

At first she will drop everything she has n she might even take a loan with/without your consent to finance the project

She will push( what she calls her own motivation) u beyond your normal boundaries that u will find it hard to do others things again cos u would have invested your last penny on d project

Eventually when u are down n u need her to come to your aid she will remind u she’s down too n she’s servicing her loans or doing other things that have been affected due to the project then u will b stranded

I will advise u to get a befitting accommodation, furnish it to your taste n if u have d money pay for 3 or 4 years in advance so u can use those period to plan well n not rush d project

Building a house isn't something that is rushed because you need to plan it properly. There's no crime living in a rental apartment while planning/ building. Please, do not rush to build a house.

The guy is just a ho**y dude and obviously not thinking well.
Who does joint venture before marriage? You don't even know if your marriage will last one year(of course u will say godforbid) but a lady is already convincing and conditioning you to build a house together with her tiny 250k that can't erect a fence.

I’m not sure but the lady said she already has money for part of the land. The rent money can also go towards the land. They should crunch the budget and see how feasible it is before they make their next move.

I must say, she is a wise woman, yeah, in this era that girls are in now, they don't really care about your development of yourself, no they will go ahead and say yes, when there is no foundation to sit on top. Well that her saves is nothing if you want to start building a house so the best advice for you, is tell her that building a house is a process, the future is bright and uncertain, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.
Meet someone that is involve in building and ask for the estimate of house that you want to build in future, so that you know what you are preparing for and show her the expenses too so that she will know what it is.. the journey, is not easy I must say yeah..

Is like your girl have this memory of her young self in a rented apartment, so she have experience the mistreatment and the hate, so she does not want to experience that anymore..

You are a daft young man. If you were close to me, I would have flogged you 36 strokes of the cane with fasting for 21 days. You need help cos you have been offered as a burnt offering to your ancestors. How much is that lady’s salary? Does she earn in 7 digits? Even if she earns in 7?digits, do you know how much it will cost you to build a bungalow of 3 rooms? Even the land, how much is a 500sqm sold in your location?That lady doesn’t care about you. Meanwhile, how old are you and how old is she for you to wait until you have completed the building?Please run to OFM, Mountain of Fire, Dunamis Int’l for help

Bro she's wise, smart and a good girl


It's a nice advice if you can afford it.

If you marry now and starts having kids. A lot many geared to family responsibilities (school fees and all that). Building will be very hard at that.

If you have money for building of own apartment....... please do it now!

It's a nice advice
