According to him, his wife's family requested a modest bride price and did not make the marriage process financially difficult for him.

"Their people are very cheap. They didn't charge like Imo State people," he said.

He also disclosed that instead of placing heavy financial demands on him, members of his wife's family contributed towards the success of the wedding ceremony.

He shared:

"My wife's people even contributed to the marriage."

In another development, Blord also revealed why his wife, Francisca, no longer expresses affection towards him the way she once did.

According to Blord, the change did not happen overnight but was a result of his own attitude towards romance.

He admitted that his wife initially made conscious efforts to be romantic, but eventually stopped because he failed to respond in the same manner.

He confessed that he is naturally reserved and has never been comfortable with public displays of affection.
