My sister Anita had a date with a young man, Fred okoro for her High School graduation party at Lagos City and Fred brought his friend James, to be Anita's friends date, Lucy. James was quite a gentleman for sure. He was handsome, cool and about 6 feet tall, dark skinned, skinny and left his beards unshaved.
James asked Lucy to have a dance with him and he was a very good dancer but Lucy wasn't really a good dancer. The party ended and they exchanged numbers. James called Lucy the following week and asked her out for lunch and Lucy already accepted to go on a blind date with a guy but she called it off because she liked James a lot. He asked her out and they started seeing each other. They were so in love and weren't scared to show the world. Years passed and James had to travel out of the country for his masters degree , it wasn't going to be easy on them staying apart for long but where there is love patience and strength it would work.

James convinced Lucy that he would come back for her. That it is just for a year and he would be back before she knows it and she summoned the courage and wished him well. They communicated daily until his arrival. He came back to Nigeria and took his family to see hers for introduction and they set a date for the wedding. They both got married and are living happily together.
In conclusion, love is all that matters in any situation we find ourselves.
