A 29 year-old pastor who is allegedly a virgin has tied the knot with his 28 year-old wife who is equally reported to be a virgin.
The groom identified as Pastor Oghale Ighele, and his wife Dr. Clementina Agbate got married at Holy Spirit Mission at Marcillina’s Place, GRA Ikeja.
The officiating minister, Charles Ighele revealed to the guests in the ceremony that the couple were virgins.
The groom who corroborated the ministers statement, told The Sun that was how his parents brought him up.
He said: “While I was growing up, my parents kept hammering on the need for me to keep myself and never mess up and I heeded their advice. I tried to make friends who would not deceive me into having sex before marriage. I was also fully involved in church activities and I thank God for guiding me.”
The bride also stated that it was not quite easy for her to maintain her virginity as there were lots of temptations but because she grew up in a Christian home she had to keep herself.
She said: “I am happy and fulfilled marrying as a virgin, though it was not an easy thing to do. I took the decision of remaining a virgin till I get married when I was a teenager. Meanwhile, I grew up in a Christian home. So, I had to keep myself.
“It was not easy for me. I was severally tempted by my lecturers while in the university. Friends also tried to lure me into fornication and men asked me out. In fact, I went through so many challenges. But what guided me was God and my principle.”
Some Nigerians have however shown disbelief at the couple claim.
The Lone Ranger: “We don’t have to know about your virginity.”
