So i am advising every Nigerian parent to ask their son(s) this vital question before spending a dime on his tertiary education and beg him to tell you the truth...

"Are you ready to go to school and acquire a degree to become self reliant financially or are you nursing the thought of going to school and latter come out to start Y+ or other illegal business"?

Are you also forgetting the fact that men are getting married in their late twenties and early thirties and that is when they actually become financially capable. However most of them end up getting married to younger women. If a woman should wait that long, tongues will start wagging and the possibility that her bf will jilt her is also high.

So can you blame her if she settles for a man who is financially capable instead of a man at her financial level?undecided Who no like better thingsmiley

this obsession is a long a long underlying trait in MOST undergraduate or graduated ladies,as their true essence of goin to Universities is to
1.experience that sweet freedom campus life they hv been seing in the home videos.
2. To come out to the world and show what they have got above their fellow female folks you notice it from their values(latest clothes)
3. to answer that name GRADUATES so as to give the an edge over other wives,especially when ranting in their women gathering
4. As lazy and cawordice as they are,haven tought ahead and seen how "hard" life is in their little brain,they need a rescuer to cling to n "graduate" accolade wil attract values to the in marriage..nt knwin dt education empowers u to carry onus wch dey r affraid to compete

The OP seems silly. I bet it's immaturity at it's height. This is 21st century, it's sad that some people still think like this, well, your environment largely determines your exposure. But truth be told, there are a lot of female icons you could train your female child or children to emulate. They are everywhere even in our great country Nigeria. A child should be inspired/motivated to do well in life regardless of gender....Who are you moving with OP?..check your company,..it's a pity.

Definitely not these wide-eyed-over achieving ones we are raising now... Times have changed , give another decade and these ye ye bad examples to wipe off the rader for good.

I always say everyone's environment and experience shapes their thinking and perception in life. Though we've seen girls from hardworking moms practice money-mongering but always seems to be in minority. You barely see kids whose parents aren't goody two shoes and had good upbringing lax around in guise of long thro-ating.

Time , Time... Can't wait!

It is no longer a new thing that after graduation of a male child from a tertiary institution,there is so much expectation from him especially the one whose parents are from a very humble background and had to make huge financial sacrifices.

After graduation,this male child is expected to do his best as regards the ability to provide for himself,his aging parents and also prepare to start a family and we all know the financial demands that come with marriage ceremonies.

As if this is not enough for the male child,the female folks who have spent years in tertiary institutions to have a sound intellect and ought to be a succor in terms of encouragement and financial support have become an additional burden.

Please understand this...there is absolutely nothing bad for a lady be a graduate or not to want,hope or desire a rich or financially ok guy...which lady will not want that?

But it gets even crazier by the day cos most of those ladies who have no opportunity of bagging a degree are unbelievably hard working as we can see many of them doing one thing or the other legitimately to be financially independent while many acclaimed graduates just hope for one unfortunate maga to buy them..how sad.

Ok lets take a look at this..In Nigeria,both the male and the female child go to the same private or public schools right from nursery to tertiary levels,we had the same educational qualification because the last time i checked the University as well as polytechnic degrees are awarded to both male and female...

We go through NYSC together and start looking for jobs in the same labor market in the same country.It is even easier for a female graduate to get jobs compared to the male folks yet these same ladies expect these same guys to be "financially ok" enough to take care of them HABBA!

What happened to equal opportunity to be financially ok since we are faced with same economy conditions. What sought of magic are these ladies expecting the male folks to perform? It even becomes more unrealistic and wicked when ladies are looking for financially ok guys in their 20s and early 30s.


This has made me conclude that its gradually becoming a waste of money and resources for some parents to send their daughters to school since they are likely to come out and dump the zeal and qualification just to start scouting for "financially ok guys" before they can think of making a headway for themselves in life.

So if that is the case,there is no need to get a degree since they don't need that to get a rich guy as they can use their natural body degree to achieve that thereby saving the parents hundreds of thousands of naira.

So i am advising every Nigerian parent to ask their daughter this vital question before spending a dime on her tertiary education and beg her to tell them the truth...

"Are you ready to go to school and acquire a degree to become self reliant financially or are you nursing the thought of going to school and latter come out to start looking for a rich guy or financially ok guy"?

Read the article again and read your comments.

You just confirmed that many ladies are unintelligent,mentally shallow and acutely abusive cos from ur frst comment,you hve been misquoting my write up and cursing.

Please wat does my write up have to do with your comments?

The point is not about a rich or poor man but that every lady should come out of the higher inst not wth the mindset of meeting a made man as it is mostly seen these days but to also strige to be financially independent and a rich man will only be a plus.

Is this too much to comprehend?

I didn't write the bold qoute above, you did. You are giving reasons why higher education should be withheld from the female gender. There is absolutely no excuse for it.

After taking time to read all the comments I realized the message of the OP is lost on many.

I doubt OP is against female education but the mentality of the graduate ladies investing so much in finding "financially ok guy" to settle down with above all else, which I believe is what he observed in his environment.

Times are changing and we all need our mind sets to be reoriented and recalibrated to reflect better ways of adapting and dealing with the reality of the present, which is the primary purpose of education.

OP...your Opinion is just that, your opinion, Doesn't make it wrong to you, and it doesn't make it right to rational thinkers either.


but I have a question for you, Will you also tell your daughter to not have dreams, Aspirations?

Society is built on the whole idea of wanting more, wanting better, wanting whats best.

Going to School and spouse selection are two totally different things. Making that question a prerequisite for your daughters is the most archaic thing, I've ever heard.

If I had to guess from most of your posts, You've had some class struggles, falling for girls who didn't see you cause your pants didn't have pockets and you use this medium to lash out at the opposite sex.

Its Ok bro.... your time will come wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink

the female gender is naturally created to crave the finest and beautiful things of life tho some of us take control of it while others let it control them.let's go back to the beginning when God created eve Adam had everything he needed to survive and run a family Eve was created into abundance, women looking for a comfortable man is not like it's an easy way out it's just natural cos we crave to be taken very good care of so don't blame women blame God for making us so beautiful and amazing.

What the OP wrote is the truth... majority of educated Nigerian ladies are like this.

Nairaland ladies can attack OP all they want, but if they are less emotional and apply logic, the truth stares them in the face because several cases abound.

I have seen several...a lady that read Law, passed law school but now wants to be makeup artists. A lazy job IMO.

A lady that read English but now wants to sell hair attachments....if this is all you wanted, why waste time in university.

Majority of ladies in Nigeria see marriage as an achievement an are willing to stop trying immediately they get a man that drops the money. FACT.

I have several examples of ladies willing to resign just to stay at home under the excuse of I need to take care of my family. How are the illiterate hard working women that sells pepper and vegetables doing it that u an educated women cannot find an easier way to achieve same?

Men tend to be more purpose driven than women. Any job that has stress attached to it majority of educated ladies tend to run away from it.
