Memories! 11 days after my 23rd birthday! I still have that pearl set! Pure exclusive real pearl! Ndi Enugwu ukwu came to my father’s house for introduction and to pay dowry and they were asked to only do the introduction and return for dowry another day. My family chose to use that tactics to stop the process and be sure I was going to be ok marrying at that age. Some family members had good intentions to protect me while some didn’t. There was an impasse. “Gozie is too young to marry and should face her studies first.” “This little girl, where on earth did she meet this high flying man?” “So this man we know that’s flying all around the world couldn’t find gals his age to marry and it’s this little gal.” These were some of the comments and statements and the impasse continued from 1993 and crossed into the new year of 1994. One day, my uncle sent for me. He asked me to see him in his house at Ogidi. I did. I remember his smile and countenance when I walked up to his sitting room and greeted him. I was edgy not knowing why he invited me and being the kind of person he was, he wasn’t given to frivolity so I knew this was a serious matter. “Goziem kedu? I invited you to have a heart to heart talk with you seeing that you are not ready to back down on your decision on this Enugwu ukwu man. He is my friend and we belong to same lawn tennis section of the lagos country club and your Aunt, my wife is from Enugwu ukwu too. Now, talk to me, convince me about this decision. Why this man? What is it about him that has made you to stick to getting married to him?” My uncle asked me these questions. “Brother, thank you for giving me the chance to have this conversation with you. I love this man and he loves me. I know all the reasons why everyone is opposing and some are reasonable while some are baseless. He is a good man and we are good friends. We didn’t even have plans to marry ooo, he asked me to help him find a wife on campus and I charged him a fee for it and along the line the story changed. Brother, believe me, if he wasn’t good I won’t be insisting on him like this.”
