Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo infuriates Nigerians as he explains why a man should be married at 24
Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, a well-known Nigerian cleric, has enraged people with his most recent assertion.
At a recent event, the relationship counselor and coach gave an explanation of why a man should get married at age 24.
He pointed out that many people in affluent nations don’t live with their parents when they are 18 and are already exposed to responsibilities. He made reference to the large number of kids in Silicon Valley who are already billionaires and working on innovations that are reshaping the planet.

One Incredible MC wrote, “But I agree with the part where one should leave his parents early. It helps one become responsible and think up ways to make it. About marriage, when you stand well. Marriage will happen

One Mayor wrote, “Age doesn’t determine when someone should get married. It’s a personal choice and timeline. For this economy
