In this life, inasmuchas we have choice but sometimes our choice do not alwayz com to pass.....in the beginning, Robust lady (Orobo) waz my choice as future wife. When i got one, barriers sprang up......Religous barrier, tribal barrier, Genotype barrier. We had to part ways. Alas i had to settle for an average lady cos time no longer on ma side...... Last month, it was on the shocial media about a lady who crave to marry tall guyz but finally marry a Short man. It is good we look forward to gettin married to a degree holder But remember, as you hope for the best, Expect the worse 1 Like |

Wow! This is a very nice topic. In fact, it is actually good and helpful to me. I do not possess any university degree, I have dropped out from now fewer than three(3) reputable institutions in this country due to financial constraint. I wanted to obtain a university degree and I tried all I could, but all my effort proved abortive. My mother is poor, my father had died long time ago, I had to fend for myself. So, it is not my fault that I do not have a BSC or its equivalent degree. Why then am I unsuitable to marry a degree holder, why can't I marry a wife who possess a university degree? Is BSC degree a prominent criteria in marriage? 3 Likes |

khalhokage: Only a third of the richest men in the world are drop outs. Less than 12% of US Forbes Billionaires are drop outs. The remaining are all educated with over 35% being graduates of elite schools. Over 40% of US leaders are also graduates of elite schools. And a very minute percentage are drop outs. The facts are on the internet. Drop outs of Havard... Programmers with lots of certifications you can't attempt in your life. Yet you chose to call them 'drop outs'...issokay! 2 Likes 1 Share |

HRHQueenPhil: This country is not in need of any more educated people, just more enlightened people, Nigeria has such a large number of educated people around the world that passed through the walls of higher institutions without gaining any useful knowledge. The majority of our leaders in this country are degree holders, but we're still in this mess, what we need are intelligent and compassionate people. An idiot will remain an idiot educated or not. It's like an acquaintance of mine, This guy has a very very good memory, so school work is a breeze, but he lives on weed, always makes stupid decisions and has a ignorant world view, education can't help such a person. You should change your mindset and be more open minded, education can never be the measure of a man, because we have Youth corpers in this country calling themselves corpses and wishing heart attack on themselves because basic English spelling eluded them. |

crixuss:The analogies are not in any way flawed. Individuals have preferences and they have the right to pursue them. There are people who can't marry a police officer for the reasons best known to them, they are not wrong for their choice, the same way you are free to like or dislike a certain group of people.
I think you are being a literalist. If I say that ex-convicts have at one time done something wrong and I don't want to have anything to do with them, it doesn't mean that there aren't some tiny percentage of them are actually innocent. Degree holder in this context can be taken to mean educated. Please note that intelligence and education are not the same. There are intelligent uneducated men and there are also educated men with below-average intelligence. A college educated man is more exposed and has a progressive life experience than an average non-degree holder. It doesn't matter if there are some unicorn non-degree holders that are very educated, after all, there is hardly anything in life that is absolute. There is a clear difference between someone who studies history at the university and the unicorn who studied history on its own. The former acquired more than just knowledge, he gained different perspectives, absorb various ideas and learned different cultures from student-student interactions and lecturer-students interactions. Finally, he isn't just someone who studied history but one who has been certified by intelligent people that he actually understood what he studied. The overwhelming majority of non-degree holders can't hold a meaningful non-mundane conversation with their educated counterpart. To avoid frustration or suspicion, it is advisable that one dates within their class(whatever it means to an individual). It is bad advice to consider every group because some outliers might exist in a non-desired group even if one could miss out on some rare gems. Sound generalizations are useful human tools, without it, we would be paralyzed in our decision-making process due to too many choices. Being a degree holder is a non-issue since most people won't start discussing academic thesis in their first meeting. It is easy for an educated person to weed out the uneducated(degree or non-degree holding) from a few minute interaction. I am not aware of anyone wearing a "degree" badge on their head so it isn't even part of a first impression. |

HRHQueenPhil:Away from the topic, the country is more in dire need of sensible and reasonable people than educated people. There are enough graduates though we need more too. Many of the leaders are educated even with foreign degrees but they behave like animals. An uneducated but reasonable person that has opportunity of being exposed will be eager to plant the comforts of life he's been exposed to in a foreign land into his own country, at least to earn a good name. |

khalhokage:We need more educated people, you seem to be confusing being a student and being educated. At least 50% of our uni students have no business being in college in the first place. Intelligence without education is useless when it comes to solving modern problems. Nigeria's mess is as a result of a complacent uneducated population who are easily fooled Any educated person cannot be an idiot. He is just a degree hustler like many Nigerians who have no business in tertiary institutions. Education can help anybody!
Education is a valid measure of a persons' class, thinking style and worldview. I determine a person's level of education from their conducts since nobody people don't inscribe "degree" on their forehead. 1 Like |

I know a female PhD holder married to a Secondary school dropout. The woman had a MSc degree before marrying him. The dropout husband is always jealous of the success of the wife. He even gossips his wife with bitterness and hatred to his friends without reservation. The woman started a business for him but he couldn't sustain it. She gave him her car to be using but he damaged it. All repairs, food, e. t. c. is on her. The husband became like a bone in her neck. I'm afraid that the husband will kill the wife someday. So back to the question, I really don't think it's wise to marry below your status except the man/woman has proven to be mentally educated without academic education. 1 Like |

The iconic Larry King of "Larry King Live" never went to a University, the iconic Sunny Okosuns never went beyond primary school but you would never know because of the quality of education then and he was very fluent in English with good diction. I can give more examples of people who are primary school or secondary school graduates, but I'll stop here! |
