Unconditional Love Banke has been in the banking industry for 7years when she met Toyin. Though, she was in her early 30s but not too desperate about getting married because of the busy nature of her job as a marketer. When Toyin initially approached her, she object because of Tony her fiancé in Germany.
Luckily enough for Toyin, Banke's cousin saw Tony with his wife and children in Germany. She then asked Tony in a way that he couldn't deny it and that was the end of the distance relationship. Initially it was painful for Banke because she practically foot all the bills for Tony's journey. She eventually got over it and now gave Toyin a full attention.
Banke did not know how to present Toyin to her dad because her mum is late. Her hesitation was due to the fact that; Toyin was still learning how to sell car spare parts, he lives in a room, he has only matress and fan and to crown it all-he is a Primary 6 graduate. He can not even use the base of a bottle to write zero. It was that bad.
After much thought and consiferation, they boldly went to meet her dad and to their greatest surprise, Banke's dad accepted him and pray for them. But, papa asked both of them thrice 'are you sure you love each other?', they both chorus 'yes papa'. Then he told them to go and read the true meaning of love in 1Corinthians 13vs4-8. Which they did and make up their mind to stand in love, come what may.
It was not an elaborate wedding. They went to the registry and pastors came to bless them during the engagement with less than 40 friends and family in attendance.
They had a very humble beginning! But they were not lazy. As at the time I met this unique family in year 2006, their 3 children were already in the secondary school which is the best in town till date.
God blessed them with two boys and a beautiful girl. The man have been to over 10 oversea countries. He knows how to use computer more than his wife and he is indeed an international business man.
When the children were still very small, they ask their mum if he actually marry their daddy because of money and she was glad to tell them how they started. So they probed further, 'why did you now marry him?' then she said 'is because I love him, he respect me and he is very humble'. From that moment, those children started teaching their dad how to speak simple and correct English and he also prove to be a good learner.
I miss them so much when he moved them to the USA. They are such a happy family. Banke's friends who neglected her for marrying a low class fellow now wish they are in her position.
On the other hand, Banke miss one thing! Toyin did not allow her to further her education to her desired level. He stopped her from the banking job and establish her in a big way. But she really want to have her Masters degree and probably a PhD-according to her.
So do you think the man is selfish for not allowing her pursue her career or he's afraid? I think he just doesn't see a need for it! What do you think?
