Landmark86, just hustle and stay focused so that you will make a lot of money. Ever heard the saying 'Money stop nonsense'? Well, it is very true. When you are very OK and doing very well financially, no one will care about that HND. They will all be eating out of the palm of your ur hands. Guy, fashi the babe and go and hustle if they family is giving you too much trouble.

Look for another girl. There are many other girls out there.It may not be easy,initially. Don't marry her by force o.

But come to think of it, is the man's preference for her daughter.

The babe already has M.Sc , not just B.Sc or BA, the guy with HND .The issue is a case of M.sc vs HND.,not B.sc.

Though, that doesn't determine the future o.

The guy still need to do PGD before going for M.Sc.

Are you implying he rather gives his blessings to a poor and jobless degree holder than to a rich and successful school dropout?

You are totally naive to believe it's all about your educational background, its your Bank Account!



Your options —

1. She can find her voice and convince her dad that you are success and marriage material.

2. You can go back to school for a degree. grin

3. Elope together without his blessing.

4. Get rich quick, google 'Robbin Banks' for tips.

5. Quit and move on. ( Preferred option!!)


May God forgive you. If you don't have any reasonable contribution, why can't you keep quite.
Does been wealthy guarantee happiness in marriage? I pray you don't continue like this.

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?
Her dad funny die

What matter most is what you have upstairs & pocket, higher academic qualifications is just a plus

BTW, her father sees you as someone who can't have fat pocket in nearest future whereas he's not 100% right

Goodluck bro

I can see where her parents are coming from. Every parent wants a better life for his/her kid. The expenses they spent on school sef no go be small money.
With your qualifications, you might never be good enough for there daughter. Just leave the girl, work harder and try to further your education to avoid family wahala.
I think it is a social class problem, them dey feel say you no reach their class based on money.

Probably. Thought so too.

I have always said that Racism (though terrible ) is a scapegoat. Other forms of Prejudices are rife in our world today.

Forget about her and move on! Don't deceive yourself she must have been losing interest in you already cuz the moment you stepped out of their doors, her dad must have give her a good reason not to marry a man with that level of qualification. If you marry her, you will surely have a problem. And I want you to know that it is not about qualification it is about what you are doing for a living with the HND certificate you are caring about, the chances of getting a good job with it is very slim. If you were to be a successful business man, her dad wouldn't have rejected you. Forget about her, move on. When you were in NYSC camp, don't you notice the discrimination between University and HND graduates? You sure must have noticed it man. See! All in all, forget about her, move on.

She has to convince her parents. If not, don't waste your time. I don't know some parents are still shortsighted to that extent in 2020. There are a lot of PhD holders that will box their daughter to stupor at home. I am not HND has automatically made you responsible, but you are the one she loves.

Oga, you need to upgrade your income. From the look of things, you're still managing.

I would have told you to ditch the girl but you both have mutual love for each other.

I believe you can still both marry if you're determined.

Call the girl and be frank with her. Tell her that since her dad is against the idea, what's your best move? That does she see any future?

Try and work out a plan, preferably a 5 year plan. During that 5 year period, you work out how to upgrade your income (maybe you go into business), upgrade your education (maybe attend open or online university) and also get married.

You need to understand her father's fears. There are only 2 of them and obviously loves them dearly. To now invest so much in his daughter and she now chose to marry someone whose financial future is shaky is a non-starter.

Also, he'll like someone that will match his daughter at least equally. He might want to get you a job for instance but your qualification stands in the way.

You'll have to brush up your English. Sorry to say that. It's important to people like this. Start reading literature. Mix with well educated people, if possible live with them. 9ice English was awful in the past but not any more.

Yours isn't awful but some upgrade is necessary. Your future father=in=law will want someone he can present to his friends and family. He's put in too much into his daughter and wants to see it bear bountiful fruit.

I am sorry to say this but her father is looking for a man that is very rich like you said she went to covenant and Babcock university.Those schools are for big men children,School fees are in millions.
For example,a rich man will like his daughter to get marry to maybe a politician child,a rich business man or an oil worker.That is what the father want,but if you are able to work up to the standard her father wants,he will accept you with his whole heart even with a HND degree.

Mmhmm, some people say give her belle. Still may not work and l don't support that. Some parent wl stl force their daughter to abort the pregnancy which is automatic the end of the relationship. I think the dad not after your HND, he has weighed it and felt you below her daughter educationally and that maybe you not rich.
If you are so rich with your HND, papa may not think of HND.
Continue with the relationship, be a man, don't be timid or weak, don't feel inferior, be caring and understanding to the girl, and lastly chase the cheque and continue to work hard and smart legally.
Time will tell.

Mr brother, don't stress yourself. Her parents are not God and your education is good enough. Just let the girl know that you love her, but if she can't take a stand you won't wait forever. There are PhD holders looking for any man available to marry. Her father is a narcissist... I know their type, eventually the girl may end up being unhappy for the rest of her life.

Please look for any University obtain PGD form with your little saving from your work continue don't stop until you get a PhD.Let this be sudden decision in your see if she really love you she will convince her father.Prove to him that you have stuff and not saw dust pack in your brain.Iam a product of Polytechnic but today iam doing my PhD program with many professional qualifications including IPAN.Bros upgrade yourself.

You have a serious work to do to convince the parents. But not that difficult if the lady truly loves you.

First, don't portray yourself cheap anymore to them. Sit your woman down and find a way she can help you convince her parents. Often times, its a simple threat most parents put forward to see how you will handle it.

Let her find a voice that her parents harken to. Seek their assistance. But they also will require strong conviction. You will need to put your best foot forward if necessary.

If you survive the hurdle and could make them to approve you, trust me it would be the best thing that would ever happen to you.
