"My Journey to Finding Love" ♥️♥️(part 1 )by ogbuozobe chinelo ify ✍️ ✍️ I remember when suitors started coming my way during my third year at university. I was 23 and this young man was eager to marry me immediately. But I let my doubts get the better of me, thinking I was too young to settle down with someone who wasn't financially stable.I called him one evening and told him I had changed my mind. He tried calling me back several times, but I had made up my mind.After graduation, I was posted to Gombe State for my NYSC. That's where I met another suitor from the North. His handsome, responsible, and caring. But my doubts crept in again, and I started thinking about the distance , cultural differences and what my people will say, so na like this now ,chinelo will become Hausa woman by marriage hmmm. odikwa possible? I asked myself.I eventually rejected him, citing concerns about our compatibility. I was then redeployed to Port Harcourt due to the crisis in the North.In Port Harcourt, I met another suitor from Ogoni. He was handsome, charming, and caring. I thought to myself, 💪💪"This is it. I've finally found the one." No distance barrier But just as things were going smoothly, Not until one Saturday morning, I called my guy, just to say hi but noticed a kind of distraction from the background, being curious, I asked him whether he is in the church program? he said No that he is in the church service. Are you a sabbatania? yes baby. Hmmm, I dropped the call immediately and my doubts resurfaced again. I didn't want to compromise my own faith, so I rejected him.My roommate suggested that I could have still married him and maintained my own faith, but I wasn't convinced.based on the idea brought by my roommate, I called the guy. Mr man told me that his grandfather was the founder of the church, his father is even a pastor that such thing cannot happened,. I couldn't even get leg to come down from his car.( finally, Church agbasia)😭😭😭As the years went by, I continued to reject suitors for various reasons. I was 25, then 27, and before I knew it, I was approaching 30.Gong back to Lagos after Christmas event without a geniue relationship. in that motor, I sat like people that went for a football match been defected with 5:0At 29, I started to feel the pressure, and my desire for marriage became more urgent .voom I changed church, and join winners chapel , I attended every program, and even joined the choir. I was determined to find a husband.But despite my efforts both transportation faire to Otta every Sunday, I remained single. I turned 30, then 31, 32, and 33 come!! Chinelo, are sure you're at the right place? I started to lose hope.I repacked myself back to my Anglican church and started afresh.It wasn't until I turned 34 that I realized I needed to re-evaluate my approach. I started to focus more on my faith and less on my desire for marriage.And then, something unexpected happened. A suitor appeared, and I thought to myself, "Finally, God has answered my prayers."💃💃💃But when I visited his home, I was taken aback by the state of his living room. It was dirty, and the smell was overwhelming. My doubts resurfaced, and I rejected him again.Five months before my 35th birthday, two Odogwus suitors appeared. I thought to myself, "This is it. I've finally found the one."this time around, I need to pick from the two suitors. as Anambra woman, my sisters and my brothers this is how I picked a very big stone that nearly crushed my teeths and landed me to square 2 Single.🤣🤣🤣I hope my story can serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who's still searching for love. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Keep an open heart and mind, and trust that God will bring someone special into your life when the time is right.
