His wife refused to tell her pastor

In a lengthy Facebook post, Nelson recalled how his wife refused to tell her pastor about their wedding plans for fear of being rejected.

According to Nelson, their church differences meant it was almost impossible for them to wed, despite receiving support from both their families. In his words:

“My wife was Dominion city Pastor. “I was a charismatic member in Catholic church. “By nature of our extremism in our Christian faith it was almost impossible to get married. “Everyone aside our immediate family members kicked against it.”I told a Rev father, he told me to convert my wife to Catholic church before we got married. “My wife refused to tell her pastor because she knew how brutal he would reject the marriage base on previous experiences.”

Nelson and his wife carried on fearlessly

He shared how one of her senior pastors bluntly told his wife not to marry him, referring to him as an idol worshipper due to his faith.

He said they prayed and ran with it. The couple, whose union is blessed with two kids, look back on their decision to wed with no regrets.

“We have been good friends for 9 years and compliment each other in many ways. We met in higher institution. She was my junior in the same department.”My wife is just like me. She is the opposite version of me. We have a lot of things in common. She is a villain and ambitious as I am and she has high moral standards,” Nelson wrote.

He attributed his successes to her and criticised the church war that he claimed has rendered many marriageable folks single.

“…Many young ladies are still single today because their pastors or priest or parents refused them from marrying a good man because he is from different church. “Who did this to Africa?”If I didn’t marry my wife, today there won’t be homland Group. We wouldn’t have created the jobs we created today.”

Where Nelson and his wife wedded

When asked where they eventually wedded, Nelson told Legit.ng that his wife had to leave that particular church branch.

“The church wasn’t happy with her opinion so she left them and moved on with me regardless. We wedded in Catholic.”

On how they deal with their church differences as a couple, he replied:

“We are flexible with where we worship. We worship in both Catholic and Dominion City. Any church she wants us to go between this two churches, I go with her.”
