Lagos-based lady, Gift Joseph-Egenti, who married a physically challenged man, tells MOTUNRAYO AKINRUN what attracted her to her husband and how her family reacted to her choice of man How did you and your husband meet? My name is Gift Joseph-Egenti. I’m from Imo State. I obtained my Secondary School Leaving Certificate and also trained as an auxiliary nurse. Currently, I’m working as a clerical member of staff in a hospital. My husband moved to my area when I was staying with my parents around 2015. I went to visit my classmates then, and they were talking about my husband because he just moved to the area and they were discussing his height and shape. They were laughing at him and saying he liked women a lot, that they’d been seeing him with different women since he moved in. So I already had that hate feeling for him based on what my friends said about him. One Sunday afternoon I was fetching water after church and he was passing; immediately I saw him, I just knew that was him because of the way they described him. He called me that day to get my number to talk to me but I didn’t answer him based on what my friends said about him. It happened the second time when I was going somewhere, he was calling me and I didn’t answer.The third time I had to answer because his car bumper pulled out and people gathered around him. All the louts gathered and they were trying to help him and they were like boss what happened. He then came down and he was like it was this girl I was trying to call, I’ve been trying to call her, she has not been answering me, so I wanted to catch up with her, that was how my bumper got damaged. I now had to stop and I was like what happened, so it is because you want to talk to me that’s why you want to spoil your car bumper. He said yes, that he had been trying to call me, and that anytime he tried I was not answering him. So I just told him immediately that I’d not been answering him because I didn’t like him.
