Education / Re: Morenike Toyin Folayan: I Divorced Because Of My Career by Atlantia(f): 10:22am On Feb 22, 2018 |
naturalwaves:You're right..Failure is relative. So you'll forgive me if I don't agree that she should be labelled as one. I take exception to the UK comment and I'll throw the question back at you. Why do you think they aren't responsible? You analysed the write-up perfectly and I'm sure you observed the tone of regret. She regrets not 'treating' her children differently. I use the word 'treating' because you might end up misconstruing my use of the word 'raising' like you did earlier. It takes a strong person to own up to their mistakes and that's what you don't seem to realise. She doesn't regret choosing her career over her home... That's what you have a problem with. We do not know the children's source of funding and we would be wrong to assume that she has not contributed one way or the other to their upkeep. Holidays and jamborees? How do you come up with these things? Stop making assumptions based on sentiments. |

Tollzara: As much as I respect your views, I have to disagree with a few points you made. Not everyone is cut out for marriage. Not every woman can handle being a mother. You raised a salient point when you talked about the responsibilities she had towards her children. I also agree that she should have stayed single if she knew she couldn't juggle a career along with the burden of raising children. Seeing as I'm not aware of her private affairs and she didn't divulge all the details of the divorce, I have no way of knowing what went on between she and her husband before their separation. There are several avenues to consider and calling her irresponsible and self-centred will change nothing. What I do not agree with is the name-calling. It's always easy for us to judge people and the decisions they make without having first-hand knowledge of what made them follow that path. 1 Like |

naturalwaves:According to you, she's a failure for not being able to juggle an educational career and a balanced family life. That's your opinion and I respect it... does your opinion affect her as a human being? No it doesn't. Does it affect me? Not in the least. She raised up responsible and independent children. Although she regrets not having a closer relationship with them, I say she's a success. But then... we cannot always agree, can we?! 1 Like |

donstan18:Sacrificing your career? How cool does that sound to you? Look at it this way... Everyone has dreams. Some women dream of being home makers while some women dream of being movers and shakers in their various fields. There are a select few who dream of combining the two..Women who believe that they can build their homes and still make great strides in their chosen field. I would say the woman in question belongs to the second category. Why should she be faulted for the choice she made? 2 Likes 1 Share |

The comments on this thread though. Not every woman sees marriage as an achievement. I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to understand that. She would've been unfulfilled if she had given up her career for the sake of her family. What works for one person won't work for another. In life, we all have to make sacrifices. The fact that her decision doesn't sit well with you doesn't make it wrong. 2 Likes |

I actually like the song. "Eni to mọ way lo mowe. Awa lomo to mọ way. Kowo ti pe kowo wole. No be everybody wey go school lo mowe" Unfortunately, a certain group of people will take this as a form of encouragement to continue their 'runz'. 12 Likes |
