Renowned Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has shared insights with young women on the importance of choosing the right life partners.
Speaking at a recent event titled Dream Count, Adichie emphasised that the choice of a partner significantly influences the trajectory of one’s life. She urged women to exercise caution when selecting a life partner, stressing that settling for the wrong person can have long-term consequences.
The author further underscored the importance of self-fulfilment in women, encouraging them to pursue their passions and interests.
She said, “It’s so important for a woman to have her own, a sense of self fulfilment, it doesn’t matter what it is. It is really important who you choose, sometimes as a young woman you can tell that the person you are with is not a good person, but you are desperate to get married. Do not settle, be careful who you choose, the person you choose as a life partner will make a huge difference in your life. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it will make all the difference, there are good men out there.”
The writer’s words sparked a range of reactions from young women, who shared their experiences and perspectives.
Here are some of the responses:
@alhaja_wendy said, “Well said, who you choose to marry will affect your destiny either positively or negatively.”
@her_majesteeze reacted, “She spoke facts, who you choose to marry will affect your destiny.”
@dr_pinesol wrote, “I am grateful to my partner, God’s gift to me, Peace of mind and his kindness wan wound me.”
