Their love story started 2 years ago when Mike was filming a movie at Nkechi’s godmother’s house in Abuja. Nkechi who was on holiday from Canada where she was pursuing a career in Medical Psychology. He spotted her and the attraction was immediate. Nkechi was not a Nollywood fan at the time so had no idea who he was. For over a year, Mike pursued beautiful Nkechi and she finally said yes and then their relationship began!
On Nkechi’s last birthday, she received a romantic surprise – a proposal from her heartthrob Mike and once again she said YES! This time, it was a commitment to spend the rest of their lives together.

The Igba Nkwu Nwanyi was beautifully performed by Nkechi as she navigated through the huge crowd and presented her cup of wine to her love, Mike with a beaming smile. Mike happily received it, took a sip and gave her a romantic hug while grinning from ear to ear.
