My husband was shy, he could not propose – Bishop Peace Okonkwo of TREM

Bishop is a very shy person and he could not talk to me. After the Civil War, everybody started to go to church because there was nothing to look forward to; he could not propose to me. It was his elder sister that walked up to me on his behalf. The lady just liked me, she is a pastor now. He went to tell his sister and told her that he liked me and she promised to talk to me on his behalf.

The first time she spoke to me on his behalf I shrugged it off and told her that we fought every day in church because I felt that he was arrogant. He drove his father’s car while we always trekked and whenever he got to church, he always wanted his voice to be heard. I later realised that was his person.

When you look at him at first glance, you would think he is a proud person. But on the contrary, he is very down-to-earth and simple.

When his sister insisted, I told her that I would think about it but I had to go to school first because my aunt was planning for me to join her abroad. I knew his parents and all his family members, so that made things easy; here we are today.
