Male Female

Thank you very much. My goal at some point was to get married and also to travel. This was around the last day. I had everything planned out; I was going to get married to my girlfriend. Everything was set, but it became so difficult to achieve these things because, in Nigeria, when you want to get married to your girlfriend, the first thing you need to do is introduce yourselves to your families, then have the traditional marriage, and then pay the bride price. After that, there's the wedding itself. All these were really ringing in my head, making it so difficult for me to concentrate on my daily activities because I was thinking about the introduction, the money, the funds for it. These were my plans to get married, but the difficulty involved was the funds, the money needed to actualize all this. I was working, but my income wasn't enough to give me the kind of outcome I was looking for. So that was challenging. Additionally, another factor that made it so difficult was traveling. What I did was help to pause the plans for the marriage and instead focus on traveling out of the country. So that goal is still ongoing, and I know it will be achieved in time.
