In a previous report by Legit.ng, two lovebirds took the state of Anambra in South east Nigeria by storm and left many in awe with their beautiful love story.
The saying that love is blind literally implies that people do not see the faults of the people that they love and the holy matrimony of the beautiful Clementina Nwamaka Obidike and her husband is a resounding testament.
The reason is not far-fetched as Clementina found love with her new husband Christopher Nnamdi Mbogu who is visually-impaired.
