| One big happy family |
In case you don’t know her love story:
Ibinabo Fiberesima’s love story begun while she was in the University of Ibadan.
Ebuka was her school mate and best
friend – however she went on to have kids with someone else while he
also went on to have kids with another woman….but fate brought them
back together.
“I know I am blossoming
but that is what happens when you are in love. I have found my soulmate,
my friend, my brother and that is why I am glowing. It’s not that I
suddenly found love, the love has been there and we have been best of
friends since our school days at University of Ibadan and when we met
again years after, we remained best of friends. His kids and mine have
always been wondering how the both of us can be this close, almost like
brother and sister. I think they planned it. They were like why don’t you
two just get married and we started thinking and after a while, we felt
this is God telling us its time and that’s it”
Why she said yes without thinking when he proposed to her + how her children and his planned the proposal:
“I
think it was God’s will because I just said yes without thinking
about it. Everything was just perfect. Perfect timing also. He is an
Igbo man. I think the kids planned it more than we did. That’s how it is
because the day he asked me, his kids were calling and the kids were
all abroad while we were in Nigeria so everybody was eager to know my
reply. The kids were like daddy have you asked, mine were also calling
to say mummy hope you said yes. It was a beautiful moment and everyone
was happy” she said.
On what she admires about
him:
him:
“He looks after a woman every well. He
adores me and he is a family oriented man. He loves his family. He
loves us totally and he is committed to his work. He encourages me a lot
in what I do and we pray a lot. We have the fear of God which is
paramount in our relationship. I think we are heading the right
direction and of course with my kind of lifestyle, and the kind of work
that I do, every man would withdraw but no, he is always there, giving
me the strength, support and ideas to better what I am doing. So I
really do admire him”
