Dad was just told by his father and his aunt, "Hey son, we've found a wife for you." And the rest is history. Mum and daddy are together for 42 years now. |

obadiah777: YES THATS WHAT I MEAN LOL. SHE WAS FEDEXED TO HIM. THEY GOT ON VERY WELL INITIALLY. BUT AFTERWARDS CAME THE VIOLENT FIGHTS LOL. I REMEMBER THEM DOING LOTS OF KISSING kissing and fighting (or vice versa), wow. let me clarify: you dont hear that very often with a nigerian couple. its either fighting all the way with kids popping out in between till they (couple) decides if they want to make a go of it or not, or its strictly business as usual with no new fangled white stuff like kissing interfering with the institution of marriage. especially back in the day. |

Didn't have to ask as we grew up hearing their story over and over again, they just loved talking\teasing each other about many things. Mum was very beautiful and had toooooo many suitors at a young age but she refused to get married even when she don ripe, her shakara was legendary, so one day someone who hails from the same town with my mum was discussing with another person who knew her about how she was refusing suitors. My dad happened to be friends with one of the amebo men and he was there at the time of the gist, he said he'd love to meet the woman and that was how they met, dad fell head over heels and she couldn't resist cos he just wouldn't let her be, na so me and my siblings take come this world. They still talk about my mum's shakara in her place, nobody don march her record. 1 Like |

Dad never went to school but was successful in business, he made up his mind he was going to marry a graduate. Mum just finished OND and had a friend who happened to be dad's younger sister. The rest is history. |

Dad was a junior in the same school with mum's uncle. Then he used to visit mum's uncle at home during the hols, from there he took a liking to mum. But mum's father opposed their union initially, though their love was stronger than any opposition. Dad did a bit of Introduction and travelled out for further studies, mum waited for him for 7 years. And he came back and did the honourable thing and took his bride. They were together and loved each other till death parted them. Mum is still Alive and cherishes the memories of her hubby. |

Dad was a full time womani.zer, funny to the core and very popular in his hometown consequently because of his jovial and mischievous nature. During one of his escapades, he meet on sweet woman who caught his heart. Then weeks later while he was returning from work, he saw the same woman talking to his friend/colleague. He collected her address and postal address from him. From then, her house became his bus stop, he did that for weeks (yes her shakara too much) till he met her father (who fortunately was his godfather in baptism)......that was it. |

My mom had come to visit her uncle who was like her dad then in Lagos because she lost her dad at an early age and then she met a Yoruba man who was schooling at UI. They exchanged address and started sending letters to each other. Fortunately, when NYSC was introduced in 1973, people were allowed to choose their choice of state so my dad used the opportunity to get himself posted to the old Bendel state so that he could be closed to the woman he had fallen in love with and 2years after they got married and were married for 34years before death separated them. My mom usually repeated the stories and some challenges she encountered when they initially got married and the stories then was to prepare our hearts for our marriage that it would have its challenges but that we would need to work towards making it as pleasant as theirs because what we grew up to enjoy had its initial challenge. |

Ezeufi: Dad was just told by his father and his aunt, "Hey son, we've found a wife for you." And the rest is history. Mum and daddy are together for 42 years now. Seriously, dat was how most of our parents met and they go on to live together for years, some of them 50ys, some 100yrs. Bt these days, despite courting and knowing each oda b4 marriage, people still end up splittin d bean, at times punching each oda like enemies, im talkin abt people who claimed to know each oda afta years of bein together. Where did we get it wrong? Wats going on these days? How many of our parents did courtship b4 eventually gettin married? I asked my parents how they met and it ws jst a funny scenerio. 1 Like |
