A Nigerian man has stated that age is inconsequential in the actualization of one's dreams so far as long as one is given all the needed support.
@TheIgboWolf shared on Twitter that his mum got married at the young age of 22 with only an SSCE and a clerk job at a bank.
He went on to reveal that she stopped bearing children at 30 and pursued a diploma at LASU at 32.
@TheIgboWolf recalled how some female folks made fun of his parents, particularly his mum about how she struggled with going for classes and keeping up with work.
She eventually became a barrister at 44. Some of those women who mocked his mum started school two years later.

He added how his dad was understanding and supportive of his mum all through the challenging period.
His post gained traction on social media. While many opined that finding a supportive partner is rare, some disagreed.
@ofurenosa_ said:
"Your dad was supportive. It's rare to find supportive people as partners. People are just getting selfish and egocentric by the day."
