Well, as the Senate in our Country Nigeria refuses to approve the request Bill on 'Open Gay Marriages and Relation ships", a Vicar and a Nigerian are making theirs public, I just hope this gets to the law makers in Nigeria!!!
What do you think about this people???
To former vicar Colin Coward, it is nothing short of a marriage made in heaven. But the 65-year-old is expected to raise a few traditional eyebrows when he walks down the aisle with the man in his life – a 25-year-old Nigerian model called Bobby.
Mr Coward and his African partner are due to hold a civil partnership later this year, followed by a service at the vicar’s church, St John the Baptist church in Devizes, Wiltshire.
The couple met at a Christian conference three years ago, and are planning to make their relationship official in a few weeks’ time.
Bobby Ikekhuame Egbele, a fashion designer and model, grew up in Nigeria and runs an online clothes shop. Currently in the UK on a holiday visa, he and his ‘husband-to-be’ are waiting for the green light from the Borders Agency, which has requested details of their relationship and residency.
This is expected to be a formality but the ‘marriage’ cannot go ahead until permission is granted. Mr Egbele, who will then become a British citizen, said yesterday: ‘I’m excited about the wedding and that people are interested in it.
‘We want it to be a public thing to inspire other people, but a marriage is also private so that feels a bit strange.’
