A boy of 21 engaged his girlfriend..
A 21 year old boy in Nigeria is probably in higher institution or learning a skill or trade and still getting daily meals from his patients.
And if he has girlfriend it will be a private thing.

Or what do you guys think
I think i prefer their way of life sha..
Most of them are given Freedom early.
That’s why you’ll see young entrepreneurs...
You’ll see a boy of 18 inventing software that a 40 year old Nigerian graduate cannot think of...

21 nowadays self dey seek admission into higher institutions plenty.. so annoying ..
Anyways, congratulations to him, love is a beautiful thing, when u HV a right attitude and also with someone u HV almost the same believe..

Most people in europe enter university at 17, graduate at 21 & are already at a full time job.
The next proper thing should be to settle down. (Some of them have been working jobs since 14 years old).

Its modernity dt has changed this progression to early marriage among whites, but if you check their traditional families, religious families, they still adhere to the early marriage rule. Nigeria used to practise & some still practise early marriage too, so no big deal.

Women in ancient europe married as soon as they had their first bleed, which was usually between 12 and 14 years old, so 21 is a vast improvement, especially for one who has been training to learn a skill for over 7 or so years.
