Lady hints on eloping from family
In a touching video posted on TikTok by @quappileee, the lady revealed her father’s relentless pressure to pursue a career in law, despite her passion for music.
She explained how he forced her to study law and now insists she attend law school to acquire more professional backing.
The lady, who has completed her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), feels her dreams are being crushed.
Her father’s expectations have reduced her to a “sales girl,” she said, emphasising her desire for independence.
Desperate to escape the toxic situation, she considered eloping but hesitated due to concerns about her father’s health, specifically his high blood pressure.
In her words:
“I need to leave home. These people don’t want me to follow my dreams. I’m done with school my dad has made me his sales girl. Talking about me working in the bank after NYSC. Forced me to study law. Still forcing me to go to law school. How do I explain to this man that I want to do music? Like you have the money to sponsor me for God’s sake. I don’t like it here. I want to elope but I’m worried about his BP.”
