Meanwhile, on her own handle on Instagram, Amara decided sharing throwback photo of when her husband asked for her hand in marriage when she was 18 years!
Then, she revealed that she was off social media and didn’t even join Facebook until 2011.
“Marriage is a growth process and I learn on a daily basis. I got married as a teenager. I was young. I think I jumped into the deep end and I simply went with it. It takes a lot of determination to keep things going because irrespective of your age, marriage throws a lot of curves at you.The main thing is being able to bounce back after being hit with a surprise or what you do not expect,” she said of her early marriage in an interview sometime ago,
Well, Amara recalled her early days as Kanu’s lover today as they mark their 17th anniversary and wrote, “He said, I have come to marry you. She’s like whaaaaat, why ?, pls don’t come near me. 😅.
The marriage has produced three children.
