How my lover’s family stopped my wedding – BBNaija’s Boma

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Boma Akpore, has recounted how his plans to settle down with his partner were abruptly brought to an end after her family rejected him outright.

Speaking during an interview on the WithChude podcast, Boma revealed that he was already preparing to propose to the woman he deeply loved and believed he would marry.

The reality star disclosed that he was set to travel to the United States last August to purchase an engagement ring, noting that his intentions were serious and well-planned.

According to him, everything took an unexpected turn when his partner’s family became involved and dismissed the idea of their marriage, insisting it was “impossible” based on things they had heard about him.

Boma said the rejection was painful and discouraging, adding that his public image, shaped by his time in the entertainment industry, played a major role in the family’s disapproval.

He said:

“I met someone I really liked and I was going to marry. I was supposed to be engaging her last August. I was going to go to America, get the ring and bring it back because I liked her and I told her I was going to marry her.

It was an amazing relationship — yes, with normal ups and downs — but I thought it was perfect. Then the family got involved and said, ‘This guy? Hell no, impossible.’

That collapsed everything and it was discouraging. If I wasn’t in entertainment or in the public eye, nobody would know some things about me. Once you come into the public, that is the price you pay.”
