Ric Hassani, Nigerian singer, has reacted to a lady who is contemplating to choose between her boyfriend and a scholarship offer abroad.
On Saturday, Rita Orji, a Nigerian researcher based in Canada, had in a Twitter thread narrated an email she got from a 22-year-old lady.
According to Orji, the lady recently got a fully-funded scholarship admission for a master’s degree programme abroad.
She said the lady, however, faces a tough situation as her boyfriend threatened to break up with her if she decides to pursue the programme.
According to her, the undisclosed lady appeared to be scared of losing the boyfriend as he already promised to marry her.
The lady, Orji said, had written her to solicit her opinion and that of others on what to do.
“Woke up to an email from a lady who got a fully-funded admission for an MSc abroad Her ‘boyfriend’ told her to choose between the admission & him. She seeks advice,” she wrote.

I don't interfere in relationship issues but think it's unfair to put her in such a state

The post has continued to elicit several reactions, with many Nigerians sharing their views using the hashtag ‘#She’s22’.
Weighing into the matter, Hassani urged the lady to choose the scholarship offer over her boyfriend.
The musician also promised to grace the lady’s wedding if she completes the programme and eventually finds the man “meant for her.”
“At 22′, if you’re reading this, please leave that guy/imbecile, block him on all platforms, go for your Masters Degree and Flourish as God has intended you to. I will sing at your wedding when you meet the man really meant for you. I hope you see this,” he wrote.

Here’s what others had to say on the matter:
no sane man will ask you to choose between advancing your education and himself, the fact that it’s even up for debate is preposterous, that woman should go for her Masters, she’s 22, she got her entire life ahead of her to be restrained by relationship

If at 22 you’re not focused on making it big but rather focus on pleasing your lover then you deserve what ever you get in future.
If She’s 22 and don’t know what’s right for her how did she graduate from Uni?

She’s 22, let her to be serious and get the MSc abroad. That promise is not guaranteed biko. The guy is not serious.

On the issue of the lady with a fully funded scholarship who was asked to pick the Msc or stay and marry.
Everyone is saying, a partner that doesn't want you to go for Msc doesn't want the best for you. I don't agree to the absoluteness of that claim and I'll explain.

She’s 22 give her time to decide on what she wants. Don’t pressurize her too much, Support her career, pray for her & push her to be a better version of herself. At 22 all she needs from you are all these things listed, not for you to give options to pick between you & her career
