What would Lakunle rather prefer to accomplish before child bearing ?
Good kissing habit
Formal education
Racial and sexual equality
Church wedding
Explanation
Lakunle would prefer to have a church wedding before childbearing. This can be seen in his response to Sidi later on. He quotes a passage from the Bible:
"And the man shall take the woman
And the two shall be together
As one flesh"
This implies that he would rather prefer to have a church wedding before childbearing begins.
