Asu Ekiye shares
“I used all my savings both home and
abroad to print this card. Every other thing in preparation for the wedding was
by Faith.
I went round the whole of Port Harcourt begging for
support for the wedding. I grew so lean soliciting for funds because the money
was no where forthcoming but I was determined not to miss my vision-based year
for marriage.
On my wedding day, I passed out due to stress,
frustration and fatigue because I was a “one man committee of friends”. My
elder sister of Blessed Memory, Mrs Nursere Ukiri, had to force milk mixed with
malt as an emergency aid to resuscitate me. Life was very frustrating.
We had no house because the only house I rented in preparation for the
wedding was seized from me prior to the wedding day, since the house rent was
paid to a dubious Landlord, so we had to prepare for the wedding without a
house.
My shoes for the wedding was borrowed from my friend Nare
Batubo, equipment was borrowed from Rev Christy Bature Ogbeifun, the suite for
the court wedding was borrowed without permission from my cousin Konboye Waritimi
and many more stuff like that. INFACT I wondered at the motivation behind this
young lady who agreed to marry a scary looking man like this that was also very
poor.
7 years after our marriage we could not bear even one
child. It was a mixed bag of poverty combined with childlessness. But we walked
so much by Faith and by cheer determination and a dogged and compromising
penchant to succeed.
Today the story is different. Check out for yourself the
transformation. Not just on our faces but in our home with children and the
blessings of life.
I salute the courage of this woman who agreed to stay with me In spite of the bleak future.
If my wife was looking for an SUV driving husband, she would have missed a blessed ASU.
Kudos to the wife of my youth who after God, is the very pillar behind my success today.

That’s why I advise my friends, please get married before you become Rich or Famous. Then you will tirelessly locate or identify your true Love.
Please join me to thank the Lord Almighty for the journey so far”
