“Getting married to a Nigerian is the best thing that has happened to me. If given the opportunity, I will do it over and over again”.
These were the words of former Miss Masslin Munemo a Zimbabuwan from Mount Pleasant Harare, who on Friday December 28, 2012 tied the knots with, Mr Anselem Oguamanam, at Christ the King Chaplaincy Alvan Iloku College of Education, Shell Camp in Owerri, Imo State Nigeria.

An elated Mrs Oguamanam described the day as her happiest, adding that she will encourage other single Zimbabuwan ladies to marry Nigerian men.

“My husband is caring, soft spoken and hard-working. He knows how to make his woman happy and loved. At first it was difficult but with time things started falling into shape.
“I will encourage my sisters and friends to marry a Nigerian Igbo man because they know how to take care of their women”, she said.
She said she met her husband when he came to supply goods to one of his customers who has an office in her father’s shopping complex in Harare.
“I did not know he was looking at me, he had interest in me. He collected my telephone number from a close friend and called me to express his interest and that was how we started”, Mrs Oguamanam explained.
