“When a couple gets married, having a baby in the first year, is ridiculous, dumb and dangerous. It has nothing to do with fertility or sexual activeness. We have allowed it to become the norm for just about every couple in Nigeria and it is annoying. I’ll tell you why. There’s a certain mindset that comes with actually knowing you’re married to a person that courting with them will never give you. This is by the way, moving on. You get married today and a month later the woman conceives. 3 weeks later, the opportunity to become a team with your lifetime partner is gone. Just about everything you see her do, may very well not entirely be her at that point. Took me a while to understand this. Newly wedded couples barely know how to live with each other, I mean they both might not be comfortable enough to do things together in front of one another, and having a baby too soon would shorten the time they have to let all that settle in…”
There, you have it!
