Newly wedded urged to imbibe tolerance to succeed in marriage
Barrister Prince Daniel Ekpo has advised intending couples to imbibe the spirit of tolerance to succeed in marriage.
Barrister Ekpo made the remark at the traditional solemnization between Dr. Bereley Ani Offiong and Dr. Daniel Anthony Ubokudan on Friday October 27, 2023 in Calabar, Cross River State.
Parents of the bride, Professor Ani Offiong of University of Calabar and Ntufam (Mrs.) Offiong Ani Offiong of Cross River State Broadcasting Corporation (CRBC-TV) expressed joy at the solemnization and wished the couple a fruitful and successful marriage life.
On her part, the groom’s mother Apostle (Mrs.) Ekanem Anthony Ubokudom thanked the bride’s parents for accepting to give their pretty daughter to his son in marriage in what she described as inter-state union between her family from Ekpene Obo in Esit Eket, Eket Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State and Ikot Ishie in Calabar Municipal Council Area in Cross River State.
Chairman of the occasion, Chief Emmanuel Eniang Offiong counseled the couple to avoid third party interference in their marriage notwithstanding challenging times as two persons from different parental and cultural backgrounds would normally disagree to agree to make a successful home.
Dignitaries at the ceremony include a retired Permanent Secretary, Comrade Victor Edet Inameti who represented the National Director of FGBMFI in Nigeria, Prof. Martin Meremikwu Management and Staff of University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTCH), University of Calabar, the Cross River State Broadcasting Corporation (CRBC) and members of the Golden chapter of Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI) in Calabar where Prof. Ani Offfiong is the chapter president.
