Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo sparks outrage as he explains why a man should be married at 24

Popular Nigerian clergyman, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has sparked outrage with his latest statement.

The relationship coach and counselor, during a recent event, explained why a man should be married at age 24.

He noted how in many developed countries, at age 18, many don’t live in their parents’ houses and are already exposed to responsibility. He referred to how many teenagers in Silicon Valley are already billionaires and are developing things that are changing the world.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, a man is still in his father’s house at age 28 and is running errands.

“I don’t know why a man should be above 23 or 24 and not be married. Your mate in animal kingdom has grandchildren, and your mate at 18 in developed countries has left their parents’ house, which exposes them to responsibility really quickly.

But in Nigeria, you can be 28 and still be sucking your mother’s boobs, they are still sending you messages.

Your mate in Silicon Valley at 18 or 19 are already billionaires, they’re developing things that are changing the world”.

Many who were left furious and unimpressed with the statement, took to social media to blast him.
