Happily married – Nigerian woman says as she reels out her educational qualifications after Twitter user said “higher education makes women unsubmissive and unmarriageable”

Shakirat Raji, a Nigerian woman residing in the United States, has responded to a Twitter user’s assertion that higher education renders modern women “unsubmissive, unmarriageable, and foolish” by listing her educational achievements.

In reaction to the tweet that claimed the negative impact of higher education on women, Raji proudly shared her educational qualifications to challenge the notion. She sought to debunk the idea that pursuing higher education diminishes femininity, promotes defiance against male partners, and impairs wisdom, ultimately making women undesirable for marriage.

By highlighting her own accomplishments, Raji aimed to counter the belief that higher education negatively affects women, emphasizing that education should be viewed as a tool for empowerment rather than a hindrance to personal and marital fulfillment.

The Twitter user wrote;

“Most modern women cannot bear the burdens of higher education. The merits are numerous, but this is what it does to most: -Ruins their feminity. Makes many unsubmissive. Fight equality with their man. Made foolish than being wise. Overall, makes them unmarriageable.”

Commenting on the tweet, Raji wrote:
