Coool bro! Really a nice one!
Nice piece!Keep it up
But for the Igboman aka Okoro,
I think this is his case;An average Okoro(Ibo man) is trader. It takes a long time for junior Okoro to finish boyboy (apprentice), set up shop and marry. Another reason is that the Onitsha Market trained okoro, wants to marry a graduate whom he contributed towards her education, so as to domesticate her (most forget the hit song of the 70s-Christian bu enyim nwanyi) and when it happens, Okoro is already advanced and must be compelled to marry.
For the Okoro who has seen the four wall of the university, he still has to wait for his elder brother to marry. Morealso, a good number of Okoros, don’t enter that university at early age (though its changing now).
Another contributory factor, is must Okoros are yet to break away from the competitive spirit of you don build upstair, why you won marry mentality. Or the how many car you don buy before you won marry and aptly put nna men, container is still on the high sea, why marry now when you no fit call Oliver de Coque to play at the reception!

i wondered wats going on in your head while writting this, you are a bomb! kip doing it. cherished!
