Comedian Zics Aloma has emphasized that men should achieve financial stability before getting married.

Speaking on Instagram, he argued that societal pressure should not force anyone into marriage before they are financially ready. He stressed that a man without a steady income is not prepared for the responsibilities that come with family life.

Zics Aloma shared from personal experience, explaining that even though he is financially secure, he still feels unprepared for marriage because he wants to provide a particular lifestyle for his future wife and children.

“I remember my mom calling me on my 34th birthday, asking when I would get married. Even though I’m financially stable, I still feel I’m not ready because there’s a kind of life I want to give myself, children, and wife,” he said.

He also recounted a friend’s experience, who rushed into marriage without financial readiness, often seeking help, which eventually forced Zics Aloma to distance himself.

“He sent me an invitation saying he wanted to get married, claiming marriage brings blessings. Soon after, he told me his wife was pregnant. I tried to help, but eventually, I had to block him because he wasn’t ready to be responsible as a family man,” he added.

Zics Aloma advised young men, especially those in Gen Z, to focus on building skills and financial stability early to prepare adequately for marriage.
