I was in a workshop that was handled by this clean, handsome guy with excellent articulation. I'm sure a lot of people thought he was a Yankee schooled guy who decided to come to Nigeria. On the ending day, he told is his story. He was a dropout and even left the university TWICE! I was shocked. He had a graduate wife, was travelling all over the world. He was going to be paid a lot of money for the workshop. See colleagues struggling to take his picture and adding him on twitter and so on. I even bought his book and I kept my workshop certificate carefully. That is what happens when a human isn't limited by what he thinks the society thinks of him. And such a guy will definitely attract many educated women because his mindset is educated and he is more polished than most graduates out there. I would pick such a guy any day over a graduate with an uneducated mindset. If however you are not educated and are uncouth. dropping bombs with reckless abandon with every sentence you make, you don't make an effort with your appearance and seek to improve yourself to be relevant in this globalized world, then I'm sorry. Only a mediocre woman would have you. 3 Likes |

What is the big deal, graduate or not; is love not the key thing in marriage? Many Nigerian illitrate graduates are found of starting a dance that they cannot complete and at the end of the day they sees themselves ending up either a single mother or father. Marraiage is the only institution that certificate will be awarded to you even before you graduate which is not possible. The knowledge is not acquired through western eduaction, it is an in-built which can only last with everlasting joy if patience & tolerance is applied by both parties. Your level of edudcation plays a secondary role in marriage it therefore has nothing to do with what you study. To me, I will marry whom ever I love irrespective of his/her level. |

I believe that so long as the love and understanding of both parties is agreeable, why not... One shouldn't care about what people will say whether Ɣ☺ΰ marry a graduate or not. |

I'll marry a woman who can give me peace, see strength in my weaknesses, protect my interest at all times and correct me in love. A woman who is wise enough to know that life is dynamic and no condition is permanent. A woman who will not seek advice from NAIRALAND or friends first before communicating her feelings to me. Graduate or not, I don't mind. I'll marry a well groomed woman who fears GOD and RESPECTS man. I'll adore her till I take my last earthly breath. 3 Likes |

So what are you guys gonna do when the educational system fails, woe to them that lean on horses and trust in chariots or can't you take countries in Europe as an example who are undergoing economic hardship or what's the purpose of your degrees in a impoverished economy or do you think the global system of things and corporate world is too big to fail. Or do you think Greece, Spain, Portugal doesn't have degree holders within their countries or middle class citizens, in the state of their economy what use is their degrees if they can't find a job with it |

Or don't u know dat one of d PRIMARY duties of a woman in d family circle is cooking for d family? Someone is trying to make u understand d great importance of having an excellent cooking skill as a woman, nd u are here typing gibberish. If it happens dat u're a culprit of dis improper act (not knowing how to cook as a woman), why not learn how to do it splendidly well. LEARNING WON'T HURT. 1 Like |

The dream was always to marry a man who followed his heart. University is not an indicator for a great man. Actually... [size=2pt]a man who needed little instruction for his own success could be considered even greater. #JustWhispering [/size] |

Darkhorse007:Are u daft? What exactly is this incoherent jargon you have written here?? Yes, I am saying men can also do the cooking. Women do not have special abilities that make them better cooks, neither is cooking an innate power possessed by women. Everyone should be able to feed him or herself. I'm sorry, you and the fool before you are yet to tell me the supposedly "great importance" of having excellent cooking skills as a woman that men can't also benefit from. Stop fooling yourself; sign up in a cooking school and learn how to cook or better yet, go meet your dad or mum to teach you how to cook. It was their duty to teach you! |

SniperInADiaper: A time will come when they will need that decent conversation, at such time, sex cant take the place of good conversation. I was once dating a guy who is not a graduate but he was doing well, he proposed to me and i accepted but at the long run i found out we are not compactable. He was always reading meanings to whatever i say, his popular phrase is "is it because you are a graduate". Omo i find my square root 1 Like |

Shollypopz:I ain't here to pour out insults. U just poured out ur frustration, but there's still a chance to be that complete woman u've always dreamt of. Do u realy understand d meaning of what u just typed? We are talking about marriage here (something dat culminates into a FAMILY), and u are saying "everyone should be able to feed him or herself". Judging from what u just said, I suppose everyone should be able to PROVIDE for him or herself in a FAMILY circle, and not d duty of d man to provide for d family? LEARNING DOESN'T HURT. GUILT HURTS. |

Ikoniko:Being a graduate does not in any way confer a right to good conversation skills someone. I know of many school leavers whose wives are graduates and who are happily married too. Maybe you were always trying to emphasise your superior knowledge conferred on you by your degree. Love is a remedy to insecurity. Good you left him. He will still find a graduate with better understanding. |

shymexx: That's like marrying a PEJ equivalent - hell no.i know that what we're talking about here is Univsersity grad., but let's not 4get that an SSCE holder is also a graduate. Because the quality of our education in Niaja has come so low, a sec school grad shud be well educated, refined, converse well, and speak good english, read and write very well. I see univ education as where we specialize in particular fields, not where we learn the basics i mentioned earlier. There4 a well educated SSCE holder can make an equally good and enlightened wife as a univ grad, afterall happy homes are not made with certificates and specialization. Have you seen a univ. grad that cannot speak good english, they're everywhere, well life is all about wisdom and common sense, afterall what we learn in our univties some are what uneducated people discovered. And Dangote is employing us to work for him. |

naijathings: [size=18pt]When you meet a man or woman who has common sense and natural management skills and is street-wise and knows how to keep your secret and is homely, cheerful, honest.... then you start asking for a degree just because you MUST marry a graduate.. then you yourself have failed in wisdom.You are no doubt an epitome of wisdom. God bless u 4 making sense from a sound base wisdom. This thing you have and express, that's what we call knowledge, and it can be bought. @when you find the one 4 u, u will know, has summarise d essence of intimacy. Only d wise at heart knows this, not 4 everybody. |

barikay: u claim to be educated yet u do not know that education is not consist in speaking english. Their are thousands of educated people who can not speak english. What is education? Can you read? And where in my post did I draw a parallel between ability to speak English and education? There's a difference between academic excellence a la book smart and having a sound-mind/higher-consciousness. I was alluding to the latter in my post and not the former. The latter is what defines a person's level of education to me, not the former. Shyte, I might prefer someone who graduated from School of Hard Knocks to Yale for example. 1 Like |
