Man Who Sponsored Young Wife’s Aviation School Faces Mixed Reactions

A Nigerian man has stirred conversations online after revealing how he has been supporting his wife’s education since their marriage. According to him, he married his wife while she was in her first year at university and, despite being jobless at the time, worked hard to ensure she completed her degree. 

Taking to social media, the proud husband shared how he took on responsibilities after her graduation, securing a job to sustain their family. However, when his wife later expressed her desire to attend aviation school, he continued to support her dream.

"After graduating, I jejely looked for work with my first degree to feed my family. I married her in 100 level without a job, but I managed as a jobless guy to sponsor her through her degree at Uni Agric. After her degree, I never went to any other school, but my wife said she wanted to go to aviation school, so I had no option but to support her," he wrote.

He also dismissed the belief that a more educated wife would disrespect her husband, stating: 

"I am one of those few ones who never believed that if your wife is more educated than you, she will not respect you. When I no get strength, she go train my kids. Kunav girls no deh mumu."

While many praised him for being a supportive husband, some critics warned that his sacrifices could "end in tears."

"I just pray she doesn’t meet someone better than you in aviation school," one person commented.
