If u sign a prenupt,it's for protecting your assets, not for gaining anything!
That's nothing wrong in that, but even a wise move,considering the divorce rate nowadays!


Well said again, Agabs!
It's weird that ppl are so much against it,and when u ask your husband/wife to be,to sign such an agreement,
they will start furiously accusing u that u don't trust them and things like those!
I don't know why they would not sign it,if they don't have a hidden agenda!

They must have some hidden agenda, or they don't respect hard-work or they do not know the value of money and assets.
It means money does not have much meaning to them. And they most likely do not know how much your money or your assets mean to you. They may not protect your assets or may not understand when you are going all out to make sure your money doesn't dwindle.

I have a better plan BS, sell all the assets before getting married, use the proceeds to squander on Ur personal interests that are intangible, then acquire them together from scratch.

Hows that for a prenup?

@Onchedu, Everybody has got one mouth. The food that goes into your stomach is for you not for your wife. Every human is an individual. Marriage is for companionship. Marriage does not destroy individuality.

Selling all the assets is like trying to delete the past. It is foolish. And why would someone expect a successful person to destroy her wealth and start from scratch. It sure looks like insecurity to me? It sure goes to show that the guy has got ego problems. And how do u expect the factors to be favorable?



Marriage is meant to be bring two together as one creating a hybrid individual. The food that goes into Ur stomach, will it digest properly if Ur wife was looking sad or depressed?
Onchedu, you are being sentimental. If my wife is sad and I refuse to eat, I will die. Though, man shall not live be bread alone. But, it aint man shall live without bread. Ha hahaahaha ha haha.

Is it possible for someone that loves you today to hate you tomorrow?  Is it possible? Is everything possible in this world?

I'm being sentimental? U are trying to eat Ur cake and have it and I am being sentimental?

Yes. I want to eat my cake and I want to have it till I die. And when I die, I want my kids to inherit it intact.
And I want my wife to eat my cake with me. Only I do not want her to run away with half of it one day. I want her to eat the cake with my forever.

Any woman that doesn't understand that is suspect.

Yep. Nowadays, you can eat your cake and have it and share it and still have it. Always having; that is how I wish to be.

Ha hah aha h. But u haven't made your case. Yep give it a rest. I think you should go talk to divorced people. Ask them if they every dreamt of divorcing and they will tell you that initially it was like heaven. A man can not truely know why his wife accepted his proposal. A man can not really know. Only she knows. And women can take secrets to the grave.


I never really wanted money. Till I realized that even your loved ones hate you if you do not have money. And lesser men(mentally or morally) spit at you if you don't have have money. And when you speak people listen if you have money. And some think you are dumb if you don't have money. And if you don't have money you can't even ask a woman to marry you. How hypocritical. Men say will you marry me? when in reality it is the man that is doing the marrying. This is my reality. My society worships wealth. I do not worship it. But this mad society will not give me my due if I do not amass it. I intend to amass. I intend to protect it after I have amassed. If possible with guns. Lions kill and lioness kill to protect their cubs. My money is for my family. This is my reality.

Sorry, that prenupt makes sense. A man could seduce a woman and compromise her just to get to my money when I have amassed it. People have a lot of designs on money. Some stupid wify's friend could even set her up with some guy so she can get some wealth from her after the divorce. This is humanity. Humans are animals. Some are fools and are just animals. And some will do anything for money. This is life. And life sometimes is harsh.

There are no guarantees. In life. That is why serious people buy insurance.

Onchedu, I rest my case too.

Let every man judge for himself.

So, it’s time to think outside of the African box, huh?  Fabulous!  This site is full of surprises.  I noticed a huge contradiction here, i must admit.  Hmmmmm.....money! money! Money! Suddenly, the African mentality, and ways of doing things are out of the window. Wow! I feel  like a w**** girl in a dark skin right now.  So, i fit open my mouth to ask whoever i wan marry tomorrow (African) to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage........... Lwkm!!
 
Hold on,  is it not written somewhere in the bible that couples should sign Prenuptial Agreements before marriage? Hell no! The bible did not talk about Prenuptial Agreements hence not biblical.  Mind you, God’s instructions regarding our lives are clear through his words.  Signing a contract or whatever, that details the ending of a marriage is a definite inclination that God is not the leader in the beginning of the marriage.  Whatever happened to till death us do part or whatever?  No wonder people are shying away from marriage these days.

You're in a serious relationship, you decide to get married,
but he/she asks you to sign a prenuptial contract!
Will you do it?
What do you think about it?

l don't see marriage as a Contract, so if a woman l'm getting married 2 brings dis up, it will make me have a Rethink about her disposition 2wards me

l have a strong Conviction/feeling dat l will Consider calling the Relationship off

Hmmm!
Why that?
That would not mean that she doesn't love u,but maybe she would give her peace of mind,
in case that something unforeseen will happen in your marriage later in time!
That would also cover you as well, because the terms of it would be settled by both of u!
I really don't see anything wrong with it!

Why should yu be expecting something 2 happen?

in all these talks, i don't see or feel love in the air. Its as if some of us marry 4 what we gain not for love and the fact that u want to be with that person 4 the rest of ur life. It's not fair!

My dear l'm with yu on dis one

Esonu,a prenupt is signed exactly for protecting your assets!
In case of divorce, she'll go with what she came,nothing from your goods!
hmmm in U.S,i learn t how it is been done is, the richer spouse will share his/her asset but i dont know how it is been done in naija..but come to think of it,what if she came with nothing?

yap, thesame with Tiger Wood problem?

Nobody enters into a marriage with the will of divorce,but as somebody said,u can control your own actions,
but not the actions of your spouse too!
If you get married later,after u became successful in your career, worked really hard for everything u had now,
and u fall in love with a man who has almost nothing, but u marry him because u love him, why would u not
want to protect your hard work, in case he'll wake up one morning and asks for a divorce?
I don't see absolutely nothing wrong in that!

Anyway, everybody does as they think it's better for them!
