They met in secondary school, but because of how life is dole you have to get something strong to hold you in life, fast forward to 2017 when I was in school I pushed him to just go to their house and make it formal since we are so familiar with the house.
They attend our family functions, like wise to tell you the strong bond we have, in the same 2017 we took, we took na gani Ina so money, which went well and we got accepted hannu bi biyu, for she has waited for him.
She lost her mom n they suggested that immediately after the marriage she’s going with their last born which is a baby, toh me I didn’t make any comment on that because it’s a huge step, then moving on to now when I n few others pushed him bro just do the needful, Because time is not of the essence, from the family they think he comes from definitely they are going to have a big wedding n a cool house, forgetting we are all managing/ surviving so right from the day he told her get got a house in a specific location where there.
