“Nonsense! So because you didn’t hold her we should shut down the whole world for you? All these over religious and hypocritically religious people can be so annoying with their warped mentality. How is holding the hand of the woman you intend to marry a sin?”

“If u like don’t look at her face ..not to talk of holding her hand…
“My question is why the long courtship??
“As christains are we supposed to court for that long ?? U are giving chance for the devil to tempt u !! And what if u change ur mind ? U just wanted another person’s time !!
“Once u hear from God and the sister accepts you is it not straight to wedding preparations??”
Ezinwayi Chinwe said:
“Why are you people shouting congratulations. Did understand that. Five (5) years, which should have been how many kids? I can never buy this idea. Six months to year is enough.”
