A love and marriage proposal letter penned by an Isoko man has been trending on social media after he openly expressed his interest in popular Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage.
The letter, well crafted and extended publicly to Tiwa Savage, comes shortly after the award – winning songstress revealed during her recent Lip Service Podcast that she wouldn’t mind being a second wife to the right man.
During the interview, Tiwa had disclosed that most of the men approaching her are either already married or much older.
The singer, however, stressed that she values peace of mind more than anything else.
She said: “I’m like a sugar mama, but I don’t want to be. If I meet somebody who can really marry me, they are either in their 50s or already married. So, I don’t know. Maybe I can be a second wife. I think so. I could be a second wife.”
Apparently moved by her statement, the Isoko man identified as Festus Awolowo Etame, who also claimed to be an Abuja- based management consultant, publisher, author and born into a polygamous home, declared his love and interest in Tiwa Savage.
He pledged to love and make the singer happy.
He wrote: “Almost one week ago, I wrote and submitted a marriage proposal to you. Indeed, I dreamed of having you as my better-half. It’s my belief that you’re too young and beautiful to be a second or third wife to any polygynist.
Men, by nature, view themselves as conquerors in spousal relationships. Becoming a second or third wife will atrophy your music talents. Spousal conflicts will negatively affect your musical inspiration. I speak from my knowledge of a son born in polygamy. My dad had 19 children. I grew up in a polygamous home where rivalries and petty jealousies between wives exist.
You’re too beautiful and talented to be in such a situation. It’s a battlefield, where, as a global brand, you’ll be enmeshed in diurnal blows. You need a husband who’s monogamous and willing to love you, and adopt your son as his. Marrying into a monogamous, nuclear family will give you an Eldorado — peace, perfect peace, love, beauty, and longevity.’
Sexual satisfaction from a husband with one wife will give you rest of mind. Such a husband will be fit enough to sexually perform ultimately for spousal good. Sexual satisfaction breeds peace and contentment.
Lest I forget, you had tasted marriage before. You cannot afford to go into another marriage to fight marriage wars. You’ve only one life to live. Once beaten, twice shy.
Yes, there are tens of marriage proposals flooding your Internet space. Most of these guys are out to chop and run. For me, I’m coming in to continuously water the garden. I’m going to add, not reduce, to your successes.
For the record, I’m a Nigerian. I’m Isoko of Delta State. In all modesty, I’m educated: an alumnus of the Universities of Benin and Lagos. I’m a Management Consultant, Author and Publisher of academic textbooks.
As I said earlier, I’m NOT coming to chop (eat) and run. I’m eminently qualified to run your music brand, tour plans and add to your release of more global serenade of evergreen music.
As you can deduct from my proposal, I’m single. I was once married to a beautiful and intelligent Yoruba woman of Ijebu stock. However, God made her to kick the bucket on Monday, 19th August, 2019. She was 59. I still cherish her care and evergreen counsel. If it’s God’s will, you’ll fill the void, won’t you?
I’m not looking for a perfect TOS. No! You’ve your own weaknesses. I, too, have mine. We’ll work out a way to bond our relationship. I know you’re sanguine in temperament. I’m choleric.
As a Christian, I do not drink alcohol; I do not smoke; I do not womanize. Even if you drink alcohol, I won’t castigate you. We shall have a Damascus-road encounter. Deep calls deep.
You please marry a Christian. Don’t marry any man, though a billionaire, who has four or five wives already. Most polygamous marriages are covens of witches and wizards. The wives already in that marriage will bring you down.
Accept my marriage proposal. I pray God to guide you in choosing a husband. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Festus Awolowo Etame, Abuja.”
