A man who lost his sight after armed bandits attacked him while he was working as an Uber driver has hailed his wife while narrating how she proposed to him.
He explained that he lost his sight at the age of 27 and was depressed. He added that what little money he had was spent on hospital bills following the attack.
He said all he had in his account was N50,000, yet it was during that moment that his then-girlfriend suggested they get married.
He said he was surprised seeing as all he could afford was a sitting room wedding. However, he said he vowed to give his wife a bigger ceremony on their 10th wedding anniversary.
He wrote: “I had only 50,000 naira/$40 in my account when my wife, who was my girlfriend back then suggested we get married.
“Mind you I had just become a blind person at the age of 27 as a result of armed band1ts that attacked me while driving Uber, one of them sh0t me in the face with a local gun and it damaged both of my eyes, I was still depressed and I had exhausted almost all our finances on hospital bills. and there she was about two months after the incident telling me that we should get married, the same way you are surprised now reading this was the way I was surprised and surprisingly she said to me, baby don’t worry, we will grow together. God is with us. so we went ahead with our decision,
“I proposed to her eventually, and we got married a year after I became blind.. We did only sitting room wedding just family members came together and we did traditional and court wedding., No fancy elaborate wedding in the hall.
“But I eventually told my wife that I promise her that on our 10th year anniversary. She will have that big wedding that she would have loved to have and guess what guys I am the one always talking about it she doesn’t even think about it. she deserves to be celebrated.
“And one thing I’m grateful for is that we are not where we used to be. We may not be where we want to be yet, but we give all glory to God.. We have been married for five years now and we believe God is just starting with us..”
