Many educated illiterates on this thread. So, after your secondary school, you didn't know what menu is abi? Na for uni dem start to teach you English? How do seemingly educated persons look at a secondarians as illiterates? Like how? I was already very good in speaking and writing English before I entered the university. And if you've been to the university yourself, you of all people should know they don't teach English there. Even GST 101 didn't go half deep into what I learnt in secondary school. In fact, that class was so unnecessary, I barely attended. As someone who've been to the university, I can authoritatively tell you SCHOOL NA SCAM. The only reason I dey enter school na to use the degree find work. If I see something way better to generate income later, my certificate would be totally useless. I know many graduates who can't speak good English sef. Why? Their educational foundation was faulty. You only need primary school and secondary school education to be able to speak good and sweet English. If you think otherwise, you're more likely an illiterate yourself >:


@me
Oga calm down. That statement was used to show the typical behaviour of an illiterate or semi-illiterate man. In the 21st century a school cert holder is at best a semi-illiterate person. I will not allow my son/daughter to marry such no matter how rich the person is.

Those that went to school and still claim that "school na scam" are those that went to school for certificate and not knowledge. Nothing polishes and emboldens a man like sound education. Money or no money.

rosalieene:

You clearly don't love her.

See the way you're saying SO BE IT with your full chest.

bukatyne:


I don't see his love shining through in the whole situation.

bukatyne:


Sister,

You need to learn to balance loyalty to man/husband and responsibility to your parents/family.

Tomorrow, they might have an opportunity that would benefit him and they will pass it up because 'he is bigger than that'.



You don't build a solid foundation on lies.

My brother, seeking knowledge has nothing to do with age. This attitude is not the best. I still advise you go to school and upgrade yourself.

Am hurt, 4 years relationship about to go down the drain.first time meeting her parents was last week Sunday, they did welcome me with a smiling face.
After all the introductions and making my intentions known to them I like to marry their daughter.

my girlfriend called me on phone yesterday that she's coming over, which she did and start saying that her elder bro and her mum is kicking against our marriage. i asked why? she said because am an Ssce holder.

yes I might be an Ssce holder, but am self employed doing well for myself (I noi de beg to chop) isn't that enough.

can't an Ssce holder marries a bsc, msc or a phd holder.
why the discrimination towards a brother because of a white man education?
because of a white sheet of paper.

GraciousGod190:


who told you am looking?
since yesterday she's threatening to commit suicide, when I told her we should move on, because am no longer interested in it.

she told me she has spoken with her uncle to talk with her parents, I told her blantly am no longer interested.since she has a master degree let her go get someone of same educational background. that's what her parents want.

toren:


On which lies? You know nothing. I know why I took that decision and that's how it'll remain until the time is right. There's time for everything.

ityP:



Like I said, dude is disappointed and angry. If you love someone truly and you planned on building a family with that someone, nurturing such relationship for 4 years, only to be ready to tie the knot and you're rejected simply because of your educational status, you'd also be angry and your "love" may also not shine through the whole situation. Like I said, it's natural. I would feel same too

pocohantas:






I will add that to my notes. Love after strategy. ;

Not only proper assessment, but a honest one. I was having this conversation with my friend yesterday. I know someone battling with same issue and keeps wondering why breakfast has become the other of the day.

Thanks.

The best fit in that sentence was honest assessment not proper assessment.

After breakfast na lunch.

All the fives looking for tens

What God cannot do doesn't exist.

You sha have to justify why He would give you a 10 instead of Moyin/Tunde who is also a five like you and praying to Him for a ten.

truthsayer009:


This is very accurate and the most eye opening thing about this is that, no matter how much money you have. Your physical looks can never be overshadowed by money if you are a 1 going for a 10.

For example, former Edo State governor Comrade Adams A. Oshiomhole's wife Lara Fortes doesn't seem to fancy him at all. Upon all the money he has showered on her, she can't look past his ugliness which makes me conclude that marriage isn't even the end goal. Just because you can convince a man or woman to marry you doesn't mean that your work has finished. You will also have to convince them daily when they wake up beside you and you look like a monster.

I can't compare Ned Nwoko's situation because the man is actually good looking in my opinion, so he his okay with marrying top beautiful women.

bukatyne:


I understand his anger and frustration.

However, he is not working out solution to resolve the issue, he is throwing in the towel like it is easy for him to move on.

He can even engage the family and alley their fears without going back to school sef.

bukatyne:


Ned good looking ke?

Wise man joined local insurance with his money.

And he seems like a man that would not give you access to cash however splurge on material things.

Instead of people to seek their level comparatively and grow to the zenith, they want to start from the top and become exhausted from stretching to manage the relationship.

truthsayer009:


In comparison with Adams Oshomole or Obasanjo, he isn't that bad looking oh.

I agree that he wouldn't give anyone access to his money because he knows the women came for money. Honestly if you know your woman has your best interest at heart, hiding money from her would never occur but this pay as you go marriage lol.

The level thing can also be tricky too, someone can be your level physically this year and next 5 years they have glowed up. Most of my high school or 19 year old female friends many years ago who were looked basic glowed up, while the ones who use to be the star girl became overweight and lost touch.

TheOldGods:

I will never allow my sister to marry ordinary ssce holder, is she mad. In as much it doesn't determine success, yet it still very important in today's world.

Find your class of ssce Lady and marry, since you have money. You only have ssce but yet you're looking for a bsc or phd holder, no be juju be that. You think everything na money.

Farfalla:


Help me understand something.

Are you the one who determines who your sister should marry?

And if so, is it a Nigerian thing? Or is it specific to certain ethnic groups in Nigeria?

I have lived many years on Earth but I'm yet to see this strange phenomenon where I come from. Is it a common occurrence to decide for an adult who they should live with in Naija?

Your response will be highly appreciated.

TheOldGods:
no I won't decide for her.that doesn't mean I won't reject the person

Farfalla:


Oh I see. You won't approve the union.

See, for a moment there I thought brothers in Naija can decide for their sisters who they should or shouldn't live with. I was ready to create a new topic to discuss the matter.

However, if it's just mere approval, no biggie.

BuddhaPalm:
Give am belle.

They go come beg you.

Mindlog:


What if the lady does not want to be/remain pregnant?

NigeriaIsGreat:
That girl no get sense.. Naso some Yoruba girls dey do. They are very cheap and affordable

Men take them for a fool. It's not her fault. Maybe she's from a faulty home

She was so shameless to the extend of saying it in a public forum. That's to tell you how useless some Yoruba girls are. She doesn't see anything wrong in what she does

So many of them are married free of charge without their useless husband paying their bride price and other marital rite

They are extra ordinary cheap like a callico sheet. Very disgusting set of people.

GraciousGod190:
upgrade myself?
so to you am not upgraded enough? because am an Ssce holder.
please bro this discriminations needs to stop.

dahmie2013:

My brother, seeking knowledge has nothing to do with age. This attitude is not the best. I still advise you go to school and upgrade yourself.

shawnquest:
My brother I can’t blame the parents. Nigeria is tough and If you can’t take care of her or your home cause of Financial constraints. Then you’ve failed. So upgrade. I for instance can’t marry or date a broke lady. Everyone has to support the family to grow.
