20-year-old Maryam Adamu from Gombe State University (GSU), has announced that the Academic Staff Union of Universities’ (ASUU) prolonged strike has compelled her to begin looking for a husband.
Adamu, a 200-level student, noted in an interview with Daily Sun how the strike has messed up her plans of graduating before turning 20.
According to her, she wished to finish her education before getting married, but the elongated strike completely crushed her initial plan.

She insisted that all her desire right now is to get married and start a family.
Adamu said:
“I cannot take it anymore. Our continued stay at home following the shutting down of academic activities since February is not going down well with us. Many of us have lost the spirit. As I speak now, if I am asked to choose between going back to school and marriage, I would put marriage first.
This strike has forced me into an urgent search for a husband because that is what I could think of while staying at home with no assignments and studies to keep me busy. Most of my friends who had married earlier when marriage was a no-go area for me are today nursing their one or two children and I am in a way jealous.
“ASUU and government can continue with their games, all I care about and I am worrying about now is to get married so that I will not fall into things I will end up regretting because I don’t even know what I will be going back to do if schools are to be reopened today. They have killed the interest in me and so many of school friends. My parents have now picked interest in giving me out in marriage.”
