Dear career woman, please, when it is time to make a lifetime commitment, do not marry down.
If you want to enjoy both your career and your marriage, be careful about marrying a man you are significantly ahead of academically and financially.
As time goes on your career will grow. Your income will grow. Your exposure and responsibilities will grow. If your husband is unable to grow with you, that gap will eventually become a source of conflict in the marriage.
Do not make the mistake of thinking love alone will close that gap. You may live to regret it.
Choose a man whose ambition, capacity and mindset is greater than yours so you can always look up to him.
If you so desire to be an exception, then good luck to you.

I’m here to sha remind women about my own agenda for them to be as intentional about their own rights too as men have shown to do & will always do. In this life, it’s Allaah first, then YOURSELF.
If you like, accept fātihah for your mahr. If you like, don’t be insistent on getting provided for in terms of all your essentials, including cooking utensils & other similar items to help you settle that they’ve culturally turned to you & your family’s responsibility (yes I’m stubborn & repetitive. Cry 🌚). If you like, don’t pursue your halal financial independence (which doesn’t have to be office job, and which he absolutely doesn’t have the right to stop you from). If you like, stay & endure all sorts of nonsense that internally kills you & cause you unbearable harm you because of all the gaslighting about divorce (of course only when necessary).
At the end of the day, both men and women cannot do without the other, no matter how much these folks try to make you think it’s just a feminine issue. “Nobody will marry you”, I promise you nobody will marry them too if y’all stand on business & start being similarly intentional about your desires and rights. “Marriage is not just about rights”, lol, I pity you. Classic كلمت حق يراد بها باطل.
Half a word is enough for the wise sha. May Allaah rectify us all and may he grant good people good people and only allow the demons across both aisles to find one another.
I watched Cute Abiola’s documentary all 1hr+ and I have thoughts☺️
Before I say anything else whether he made it for content, for money, for clout, or for all three combined that is between him and his Creator. I am not his judge and neither are you.
But I want to talk about what I actually saw. Because a lot of people are so busy being offended that they completely missed the lesson.
I am not just a random person with an opinion on this, I was once married, once pregnant and I delivered a child not by CS though but I know what it feels like to be in that vulnerable space🥹
Your body is doing something extraordinary and terrifying at the same time, and everything you need in that moment is just someone to hold you steady
Some of us didn’t get that
I was 8 months plus pregnant when my ex husband told me he would throw me out of the house. His exact words to me "mio fe wahala kankan, tio ba wo mo ma le e jade toyun toyun ni." Just like that
No "let me hear your side of the story" No pause to remember that his pregnant wife was standing right in front of him. His sister-in-law said I was giving her attitude and that was enough for him to deliver a verdict. I didn't even have an altercation with this woman she just reported me and he believed it. At 8 months pregnant
I got war while I was carrying a life inside me, I got unhappiness, I got days and nights of tears during a time I should have been protected.
So when I watched that video and saw how that man moved around his wife the reassurance, the way he prayed over her, the sheer presence of him I felt something shift in my chest
Before they even left for the hospital, his mother prayed with them at home. They walked into that hospital already covered and in that theatre, he was right there with her praying, holding space, not scrolling his phone in a waiting room somewhere pretending he wasn't scared.
You cannot manufacture that. 2 people who are not genuinely rooted in faith together cannot perform that level of synchrony when everything is on the line. His wife was going in for her third surgery in four years. Three surgeries. Her body has been through it. And she was still open, still willing, still at peace. A woman who feels used or exploited carries it in her face. Watch it again. That woman was not performing.
She consented to every frame and her spirit showed it.
Even after sharing about the ectopic pregnancy people are arguing about 3rd surgery in 4 years and about content,privacy and monetisation
But can we also talk about the fact that there are men who have never once considered that their pregnant wife is not just carrying a baby she is carrying fear, physical pain, hormones, uncertainty, and the desperate hope that the person beside her is actually with her? There are women who watched that video and felt grief because they realized they never had that and didn't even know they were allowed to want it.
And the women who went through what I went through threatened, dismissed, unseen, during the most vulnerable season of their lives we watched that documentary differently. We weren't watching a content creator. We were watching a standard. A reminder of what should be normal but isn't.
If this were a western documentary now you people would be crying in the comments and awwiing here and there 😂😂 but because it is one of ours, some people called it stupid content
We really need to do better.
Take the lesson or leave it. But the lesson is there.
Pray for a kind partner. Not just a fine one. Not just a successful one. A kind one. One who will stand in the theatre shaking and still choose to pray instead of panic.
May Allah continue to bless their home and keep it from every evil eye. Ameen.
And to every woman who carried a pregnancy in pain, in silence, without the softness you deserved I see you. You were not too much. You were just in the wrong hands.

The amount of men in those videos is sickening. If rape culture can bring out a such a huge crowd, just imagine what they are doing behind closed doors.

I don’t even want context or an explanation about what the culture is. If the punishment for being outside when you’re not meant to or breaking a rule is sexual assault, may you all burn in hell
Can’t walk on the road without men trying to touch you.
Can’t go to a market and tell men not to touch you without being called ashawo.
Can’t go out during a festival without being raped.
This is the sad reality of Nigerian women.
Some cultures needs to die, and if your culture is tampering on human rights, it needs to die!
If your culture tells you that there are days meant to rape and molest women, then that culture must die! It’s a useless culture!
