A story of choosing between Love and Personal progress trended on Twitter over the weekend and it led to a debate on the micro-blogging website.
A lady whose age was given as 22, apparently won a fully funded scholarship abroad for her Msc.
However, it was reported that the lady’s boyfriend wasn’t quite enthused with his girlfriend’s shining luck and he told her to choose between their relationship and going to ‘the abroad’ for her studies.
Prof. Rita Orji, who shared the story via her Twitter page, wrote ;
Woke up to an email from a lady who got a fully-funded admission for an MSc abroad
Her ‘boyfriend’ told her to choose btn the admission & him
She seeks advice
I don’t interfere in relationship issues but think it’s unfair to put her in such a state
People have diff priorities
My only question was:
What is at stake if you choose one option over another?
Based on this and your priorities, you can decide on what to do if he refuses to change his stand
She said, the guy may break up with her and he promised to marry her.
She is 22 years.
What would you do if you were the girl or her boyfriend?
Am so sorry…. Am so going for the MSC… What will be will be, what if I decide not to go for the MSC and something something happened and he said he is no longer interested in me nko?, Wo am going and I pray I no date such guy sef…. Na guy wey want better for me I prayed for
Inferiority complex, insecurity, bad mind is smelling here, please advise her to build her career, when she’s done then we’ll see if he will not accept her back. All these boys with grasshopper mentality.

Girl, unless it’s God your creator asking you to do His will in Nigeria, you have no business listening to any human being especially people who are not family, giving you selfish ultimatum.
