‘Don’t marry an illiterate’ — Sandra Iheuwa advises lovers
Sandra Iheuwa, the Nigerian businesswoman, has advised lovers never to marry an illiterate.
Iheuwa, who is married to Steve Thompson and a baby mama to Ubi Franklin, was speaking about what makes marriages tick in a post via her Instagram.
She also highlighted the importance of being able to have intellectual discourse in marriages.
“Imagine you have a master’s degree. And your partner is a high school dropout. The level of thinking won’t be the same. You can’t have a meaningful intellectual conversation with this person. It will never work,” she wrote.
“In whatever you do, make sure you marry a kind partner, not a useless and wicked one. This goes for both genders. I forgot to add this one. Don’t marry an illiterate.”
Public figures have had differing opinions about what partners should consider red flags in relationships.
In 2016, Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), advised the youth against marrying ladies who are weak in prayers.
