Read what the OP typed in his story and you'll find out that he is just a factory worker with HND while the girl has first degree and a masters and works in a big organisation in Lagos.

Habba! The two of them no be mate na. If not for NYSC, they would never have met at that kind of social level.

The OP sounds to me like a gold digger. that wants to use the girl to escape poverty and the lady's dad was wise to his conny tricks

NYSC brought them together of course, and that is why I want HND NYSC to be different from that of DEGREE.

Op put yourself in her father's shoes, you train a girl, you give her the best form of Education you can afford in the Country, Now she is of marriageable age she brings someone that is way less qualified and Educated.

To be honest with you, what kinda of Jobs will people with OND/HND get in Nigeria, only a handful of them get good paying Jobs, the discrimination is systemic , and most of them end up with low paying and contract Jobs. You clearly do not fall into her social class and you didnt even attend one of the best Polytechnics in Nigeria.

My advice forget love now, go and work on yourself, improve your skills,Education, Get a good Job, make money. Girls will come and you will be proud of yourself....

Now you can easily be taken for a Gold digger.

Brotherly,

I feel your Bro, it's amazing that even in the year 2020 some parent could still discriminate about academic qualification to marry, and you will begin to wonder if academic qualification is the yeard stick for success, most successful men today that i know today never owned a degree most were even college drop outs not to talk of someone that had a Higher National Diploma.

However I will advised you not quit, if you do it means you don't deserved the girl from the one set, not good comes easy, you have to fight for it I will advised you do the following.

1. Get enrolled to any of the reputable University for a degree or a post graduate studies, schools like Unilag, Backock, University of Ibadan e.t.c.

2. You haven't mentioned if you have rented an apartment if you have not ensure its a nice area, like Maryland, Adeniji Jones, Surulere, Yaba, pls ensure its near and we'll package environment.who knows the mum could decide to come on a secret mission to see if you are up to the man you said you claimed to be. Afterall a real man should have a decent place of abode before deciding about marriage.

3. Guy for Lagos packaging na be the secret oo, you've got package your self well, do you drive if you don't it's high time you get a small ride even ifts Golf 4 but atleast a decent ride for start.

4. Find every way to win over her mum, the father has spoken but the mum is the final decider after the most mum are fully attached to their daughter.

5. Pray very well, if possible fast prayer move mountains with God all things are possible pls don't give up quitter don't win, winner don't quit.

I wish you all the best.

in one word, he should just do everything possible to impress the gal's parents. undecided

Typical rantings of a major failure.. It is nobody's fault that you failed your exams. Deal with your failure.

You hate people who have achieved the success that you have failed to achieve. You hate the universities just because you were not intelligent enough to make it to the universities.

The niggar sounds like a gold digger to me though!!
he dey find rich man pikin. Men should believe in themselves and work their way through to the top. look for a lady from a humble background, and marry. with God on your side you must blow!! and most importantly stay incharge of your marriage without any miscreant looking down on you.

We can not say categorically that he is a gold digger cus he said they met during NYSC and he might not probably know her background then. My own observation is that the guy is not ambitious, dreamer and a goal getter and the man saw that in him during their conversation. Not everyone will start big but our dedication and determination to be become big drives us to greatness, the man himself might not start up big but he worked his way up through dedication and duggednes and those are the basic attribute the man expected but the guy could not present his manifesto to reflect those things.

I graduated from Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.
She also graduated from Babcock University.

We both met in 2015 during our NYSC at River State. We serve in the same PPA. She is good, lovely and caring. And to crown it all she is beautiful. I mean so beautiful.

It all started with friendship which later led to relationship. We share so many things together during our time in River State as per what the future holds.

After our NYSC, we both went back to our various base. She is based in Lagos while I reside in Osun. Immediate I finished my NYSC, I got a job with a private organisation as a factory supervisor. But she went further for her Masters in Covenant University, Otta. Despite the distance we still communicate from time to time and at times I do find time to check on her in Otta, while she also do check on me in Osogbo.

After her M.sc, her dad got her a job with a big company in Lagos.

Last year December she came to Osogbo as usual to check on me but fortunately she met my parents and my siblings at my place. They all love and accept her. When she was leaving the next day she told me that her parents told her that they want to meet her fiancé.

12th January, 2020 I travelled down to Lagos to meet her parents. When getting there I met her parents with her only sister. Her dad ask of my parents, state, my qualification and what I do for a living. I told him and immediately he stood up and told me he will never allow his daughter to marry an HND holder.

He said he can't send his daughter to a university & end up marry an HND holder. Never!!! Though my gal is not in support of that, even ever since that time till now she's not her self in that house.
I truly love her and I know she truly love me too. But her parents is the major concern.
Should I call it quit?

Please your advise is needed, what should I do?

Let's be realistic here, can u send ur daughter to private university for B.Sc and M.Sc, sending millions of naira and she now told u her BF is a factory supervisor. The man no get fault o

Yes you have a point, but brother let me brag small, I am a born genius. If I was a white, I am supposed to be in the league of late Albert Einstein and co.


The person you are chatting with here finished reading Physics by Abot while I was in SS1, started studying Physics, Further Maths, etc right from Junior secondary. There was no Internet in my time.

I conduct physics and chemistry experiments in my room as a Junior secondary school student. When I got to senior secondary, chemistry, physics, further maths, etc were like book of my bible stories for kids for me. I was way above my mates right from nursery school.

I was a wonder kid. I won lots of school awards growing up. I do multiplication, division of even decimal figures with my head without calculator.


I helped so many people write waec, jamb, etc and they all passed. I was just too good academically.

I read virtually anything readable; holy books, science books, newspapers, magazines, even awake I never missed any of their publications all thanks to my wonderful Jehovah Witness friends that visit regularly for Bible study then.


I hardly go out cos I was engrossed with reading anything I see. I finished oxford dictionary page to page, Bible almost.


My point is, life experiences have taught me a lot, academic degrees, paper qualifications are nothing....wisdom, intelligence, success, smartness is not by your academic degrees or qualifications.


I didn't further after my first degree cos I saw no need, I saw that academic qualifications are a waste of smart and talented people's time, so I quit but I am far more exposed, learned, knowledgeable and better than most professors.


My mates call me prof till date cos they say I am a born prof.


So you guys should quit those paper qualification crap u use to measure people's success, future and intelligence, it's foolishness
that's is the real education bro thumps UP

1) Who's fault was it that you failed your exams?
2) Who's fault was it that made you faile JAMB so many times?
3) Who's fault was it that made your parents to waste their money only for you to fail in school? Olodo wey you be
4) Who's fault was it that made your life into a wasteland?
5) Who was it that made your life a permanent failure?

The OP is just a gold-digger as he cant convince anyone that he never met other diploma girls of his status but he is adamant on marrying a successful lady from a rich family
if you live long a enough life will teach many lessons. Poverty in Africa is a big problem that people mistake love for gold digging.

Should I call it quit?

Please your advise is needed, what should I do?

OP, don't be deceived. It's not really about BSc/HND Stuff, moreover your write-up attest to the fact that you're scholarly to a good extent. Her dad only said the best thing that would make his daughter see reasons for his disapproval. Certainly, he knows his daughter better than you, and how best to get her to comply even if she struggles through it for a while. OP, the real reason is because you don't measure up when ideally, you should be far above her or at least at the same level, and not just academically. I believe her dad is a Yoruba man, and God help you if he is from Ekiti State. smiley

Meanwhile, you shouldn't feel bad at all, nor hate the man rather you should thank him. Why? In reality, he saved you from future misery, not necessarily from him but his daughter. Because that thought pattern is not exclusive to her dad o. I dare say more resides in the lady though she is not exhibiting it at the moment. And to be honest with you, it's not the fault of either of them (both the one showing it now and the one that will show hers later). They are rich and connected while you're not. You just don't measure up. Sorry, but that's the raw fact!

See, it's not easy to get a husband these days, particularly with continuous pressure from parents so she is settling for you because she is out of options. But she would crumble your ego countless times in the marriage as she would re-echo that and more to you. You said she is good, bla bla bla. Of-course, she's got to be. It's only a crazy lady seeking marriage that wouldn't be good. Have you even placed her on series of tests to confirm important virtues? Or you're among gullible guys whose senses have been overtaken by supposed love, only to get shocked at what they married? Anyway, she is not living with you so you don't really know her content as you think. And don't wait till that time when she would start displaying it to you in the marriage because that would be the day you would realize that her dad was really nice with his. For me, love isn't enough for marriage. In fact, I think a man should enter into a relationship with a lady he loves but only marry a lady he is confident he can live with, all the days of his life.

If you forcefully go ahead and marry her, the only way you would make that marriage work is for you to actually become financially successful. And if you ever become successful, it would already be too late because the marriage would have been severely battered. In fact, you wouldn't see her as someone who patiently (humbly) lived with you throughout the struggling period. And depending on your type of person, you could successfully ignore the anger/malice that would have brewed up over time and live with her happily ever after. But some things are easier said than done, that is even if you ever become successful. Because the atmosphere that would continually be generated in that marriage would easily breed poverty/misfortune, repeatedly.

It would have been manageable if her dad was the one that accepted you and she is the one struggling to because her dad would always fix her head on your behalf during the early days of the marriage and also help (connect) you to quickly become successful to balance things up. So Oga, help yourself by coming down from that horse you are trying to mount and go and marry a lady you would be able to successfully head without foundational issues (unending headache) as such would guarantee your marital and financial success, and all other forms of success in life.

The man shld more be concerned abt the guys maturity, intelligence,personality n his spirituality over educational qualification because it can b obtained later on.
Pastor kingsly of David christain center met his wife according to him when she was doing her master's n him with just OND without a job. My uncle married his wife with bsc with just HND.
It is the poor girl I pity for because she's the only victim I see here shld Op move on and the girl find it hard to get a responsible man. She will hate that man for life.
The Op too might just be another victim if he strong-headed marry that girl because any of his shortcomings will be linked to his educational qualification n this might affect his home.

Master degree is only helpful when you have lots of relevant work experience in your field...unless you want to join the inexperienced league of Nigerian lecturers with PhD and no relevant experience, teaching nonsense in Nigerian higher institutions and turning Nigerian institutions to mediocre because they only teach what they read on paper without any real life experiences gained from work.
