Despite the initial meeting going well, the man's hopes were shattered when the girl's mother contacted him later.

She revealed that they had reservations about him because he hailed from Rivers State, stating that "our marriages don't last."

This unfortunate bias led to the girl suddenly ceasing communication with him.

However, in 2019, the man's life took a positive turn as he relocated to Germany. Unplanned, he met with the same girl and shared the remarkable progress he had made.

Intrigued by his success, the girl decided to approach her parents once again. To his surprise, the family began apologizing for their previous behaviour and even began pushing the girl to pursue a relationship with him.

It became evident that the family's perception had shifted due to his newfound status and achievements.

Suddenly, the notion that "Rivers marriages don't last" no longer held weight.

He found himself questioning the genuineness of their newfound acceptance. He realized that status and money should not be the sole determinants of a successful relationship, prompting him to prioritize his well-being and happiness.

He wrote;

"In 2017, I asked one babe out, she asked me to come see her parents in Abuja if I was serious, that her father wanted to see me.
"I booked bus and entered Abuja. As a good boy, I went with my relative, and we say the dad. Everything went well and I entered bus the following day back to PH.
"As I was walking back home, on my street, the mother called me and asked how my journey went and told me they would be considering me because I was from Rivers State and "our marriages don't last".

"I begged and asked to speak with the husband aunty Ghost. The babe also stopped responding. In 2019, I moved to Germany and somehow reconnected with the babe. After hearing all the work God was doing in my life.
"She went back to speak with her parents. Suddenly, they started apologising for 2017 and even forcing the lady on me. Then, I realised that status and money stops nonsense. Out of the blues, Rivers marriages start to they last. I ran for my life.”
