Nigerian filmmaker, Ugezu Ugezu, has faulted the idea of sponsoring a lady’s education with the expectation of marrying her, urging men to stop nursing such idea to avoid heartbreaking situation.
The renowned filmmaker and actor took to his social media platforms to share this piece of advice to men, who sponsor their women for education.
According to him, a man helping a lady through school does not mean that he must marry her. There is no guarantee that the person will marry you after her education.
“That you paid the school fees of a maiden and assisted financially in shaping her life does not mean you must marry her.
“There are things a man must do and leave for the universe.’ Ife Ana Emelu Enu’.
“If she finally says no…. walk away. Echi ga bu echi oma,” he wrote.
“It has been suggested that it is better to marry ladies first before taking full responsibility of sponsoring their education and support them with no strings attached if you can afford it”.
