A young Nigerian lady narrates how her mother aided her sister’s divorce due to concerns with her husband’s request that she quit her job.
This came following a conversation sparked by an X user about how women sacrifice their professions and education to support their men/husbands.
In her words;
“Women will decide to stay in Nigeria because of man. Pick universities because of man. Stay in a man’s house during law school, choose nysc state because of man.
Have you ever sat down to ask yourself why? Why are you making such heavy decisions for a man?
Why must you bend? Why must your own education or career suffer for a man? You don’t love yourself? Can you please be selfish???”
In response to the tweet, user @KhadijaGarba19 supported the accusation by describing her sister’s situation as a married woman.
According to Khadija, her sister’s husband was against education and chasing careers. Her mother stepped in when the man forced his wife to stop her career and become a full-time housewife.
“When my sister wanted getting married, there was a verbal agreement that she’ll further her education & also work between my family and the said man. 🫠
Few months into marriage, she got Msc form & started chasing admission.😆
When she got the admission, this man said “NO!” 😣😵💫
My Mom pacified my sister since it’s second degree and that she should wait til atleast a year. 🥲
That was how she wasted money for form & acceptance fee. 😩
Few months later, this man proposed she quit her job since it’s not like she’s giving him the salary to share & do as he pleases. 🥲
In conclusion, my Mom encouraged the marriage scattering herself. 😂💔
How she go sponsor Pharmacy, a whole five years professional course which extended to nine years for my sister thanks to ASUU & not making Dispensing twice and not work???? 🥲
God forbid! 😆
My sister is about to become a PhD holder while being a lecturer too. 💪”
