"He promised his wife 10 years ago when he was a nobody and wooing her for marriage that one day, she will host the governor of Abia state in their residence, yesterday he fulfilled his promise"- Nigerian Lawyer shares inspiring message on Facebook
Barrister Onyebuchi Ememanka, Samsung's industries company Secretary had his family thanksgiving at his native Umule Abia state, in attendance was the Governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu.
The erudite corporate Nigerian lawyer shared this inspiring message how he assured his wife that they would one day host VIP's and the governor of Abia in their residence, this promise was made 10 years when he was not sure where the next meal would come from and does not know the current governor of the state.
Dreams indeed come true.
Read his narrative below:
A PROMISE KEPT
In the first week of January 2005, I met my wife for the very first time. As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one and I told her so. I really wanted to settle down then.
In the process of wooing her, I told her lots of things. One of the key things I told her then was that I will get her to play host to and shake the hands of the Governor of Abia State and play host to VIPs at our residence severally.
When I made that statement, I was just a few months out of NYSC and I didn't even know how the Government House Umuahia looked like. The closest I had gone to the Government House was in 1999 when as the PRO of the Law Students Association, Abia State University, I had gone to deliver a letter to the Governor soliciting for assistance for the association. That day, I did not go beyond the main gate of the Government House. I was asked to wait for one Chief Ike Victor Oye who was then an SA to then Governor Orji Uzor Kalu. He is currently the National Chairman of APGA.
The man was driving out of the Government House and saw me at the gate, he wound down the glass of his car, spoke to me for a few seconds, collected the letter, tossed it on his seat and drove off. I knew that was the end of that story.
When I made that promise, I had never heard of any person called Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.
When I made that promise, my wife looked at me in disbelief and just smiled derisively. I am sure she didn't believe me.
Fast forward to yesterday...
Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu joined us at our thanksgiving service at Umule. Not only did he come to our church, he stayed till the end of the service, spoke to our people and made a handsome donation to the widows in our church, sick pastors and then the church. Of course, he shook my wife's hands and those of our children.
He spoke very glowingly about me and called me HIS LEADER...Hehehehehe.
Imagine ordinary me o. Ntakwaranu ji ego ole mji awu my Governor's Leader?
Thanks to God and the magnanimity of my Governor, I fulfilled a promise I made my wife more about 12 years ago.
Ururuaja always keeps his promises. It may take time but I keep them.
