“Women have no business getting married in their 20s. You don’t even know yourself yet,” she said.
The media personality further claimed that many women who married in their 20s now regret not waiting longer.
“Those who did are regretting it now. Even those who are still married, if they are being honest, they will tell you that they shouldn’t have rushed it,” Makinwa added.

"If you are at least 24, got a good job and a man or woman who "truly" loves you, bro/sis get married.... Don't let no miserable individual tell you otherwise."
@SirBonaventure noted:
"Why do we have to listen to those who failed at something to be the best teachers for what others did very well at? Some folks really assume this imaginary status as experts in all things that affect others they have no idea or knowledge of all the facts. Very condescending attitude and conversation"
