I Chose My Fiancée Because Of Her Spiritual Life – Cross Okonkwo

Former BBNaija housemate Cross Okonkwo has shared why he decided to marry his fiancée. He recently revealed what made him decide to spend the rest of his life with her, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he met his woman in church, and her spiritual life is one of the most important qualities that immediately drew him to her.

Cross added that he once dreamt about marrying a tall, beautiful, and light-skinned woman, and his fiancée fits that description perfectly.

His words, “I love the fact that she’s very sweet, calm, and calculated. She has a very big heart and loves God deeply. She can pray and fast, and that’s a quality I’ve always wanted in a woman. I know that if anything were to happen to me, God forbid, she would look after my home and family. She’s just like my mum; a capable woman who knows how to take care of me. And she’s beautiful, both inside and out.

She also listens. I remember telling her two years ago to go into tech, and today, she’s doing really well in that field. I met her in church, in Abuja. She was standing outside after service, waiting for her sisters and cousins. I was in the car with my sister and a friend, and I pointed her out, saying, ‘Look at that tall girl, she’s so beautiful.’ My friend asked if I liked her and told me to go say hi. So, that shy boy went over to greet her; and here we are today. We exchanged pleasantries and numbers.

When I was younger, I had a dream about my future. I saw myself at the ages of 40, 50, and 60. In that dream, I also saw the woman I would marry. She was tall, beautiful, and light-skinned. I didn’t clearly see her face, but my fiancée embodies all her features. Over the years, I’ve dated other women, but none of them gave me that same energy or calmness. When I met her, my spirit felt at peace.

And when I had that encounter with God last year, I also saw her spirit in heaven; and she winked at me. That’s how I knew she was the one. It’s something God has ordained. It’s all about timing.

I learnt a lot from my past relationships; patience being the most important lesson, and communication too. Back then, communication was difficult, and that made things worse. Now, I understand how crucial it is. I have also learnt to set boundaries, because when you do, you avoid disrespect; both ways.

At that time, I didn’t understand the principles of God like I do now. There are things I can and cannot do anymore. The most important thing is that I’m now in a relationship where God is at the centre; and that makes everything more peaceful.”

WOW.

The first season of the show first aired on DStv Channel 37 from March 5 to June 4, 2006. In a twist to the game, two new contestants were introduced on Day 23, much to the excitement of the remaining housemates.

Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.

Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
