Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Advises Young Ladies On Choosing Right Partner by DyshApp(op): 10:53pm On Jul 03, 2025
Renowned novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie advises young women on the need to choose the right partners for themselves.

During a recent event, the ‘Dream Count’ author urged ladies to take great care in making decision about whom to marry.

She noted that one’s partner shapes how their lives turn out eventually.

Chimamanda noted that ladies should endeavour to choose a kind and supportive man, because she made the right choice.

The writer said in part …
“It’s really important who you choose. It’s really important. Young women, choose wisely,” Adichie said.

“Sometimes as young women, you can tell that the person you’re with is not really a good person, but you’re desperate to get married.

“You’re desperate to have somebody who’s your partner. Don’t settle. Be very careful who you choose.

“The person you choose as your life partner will make a huge difference in your life.

“If you choose somebody who’s kind, supportive, it will make all the difference. So I can tell you that I chose well, there are some good men left.”

Ladies, "Until a Man Has Married You, He is Not Obligated to Be Responsible For You. Whatever He Does , It is Out of The Generosity of His Heart ,You Should Never Feel Entitled to His Money"

The followers of these sets of ladies are the biggest losers.

They start with feminism and lead millions astray. After they have been caught sitting on a Pennis with glaring evidences, they shift the topic to “how to find a good man.

Why the likes of Linda Ikeji will not make heaven.

Their are no perfect persons out there. look for the qualities that are most important and non negotiable to you. look for those qualities in your future partner. Then the other not so good qualities the partner have you have to find a way to live with and work around them.

Shawarma, iPhone, front seat, urgent 2k, Gucci top, bone straight and more are the determinants for my gender these days.

Are u married Miss chimamanda? When did u have the right to give advise when u are a single mum?

There is something really really wrong with feminism honestly . She wants to give advise that she herself didn't follow.

This can't be over-emphasised enough. The man you marry will either make or mar you. Same thing applies to the men.

Why didn't she come home to chose a Chinedu abi Okafor?

She is married to a white and giving advice.

Of course, she is smart. She does not want to end up drinking corpse water. She does not want her head shaven gorimapa.. And of course, she does not want to be thrown out by wicked , hungry in laws when her husband dies .

Instead of her to campaign against such , sheis in rhe comfort of obodo oyinbo talking trash.

Enyi a, stop embarrassing yourself.

It's an abomination to use a smartphone to be posting yeye.

Use Google to search if she's married or not.

Husband name is Ivara Esege. Nigerians doctor based stateside. He is a black man with light complexion.

And marriage to a white man does not mean the marriage will be happy. Marriage na marriage. It is as good as you make it.

I know one white guy , friend of my brother. Married a black ( not Nigerian, from another African country). Marriage broke down after 3 years.

Whites are not perfect spouses. Like us there are good ones and bad ones.

I wanted to propose but I saw that you're married already, because it's very rare to see any young girl this days to reason in that direction.

Why advising them

They keep learning with experience grin

Some are now looking for any kind of man on their old age.

But madam calm down, you're bragging with your husband because he is rich.

If the man is poor would you have considered only his good character or brag with his gentleness huh

You all are still on same page
