John and Helena have been in a relationship for a long with the hope of getting married immediately after they graduate from the University. Both of them came from the same state but different towns. They have been dating for a long, and the parents of Helena are aware of their relationship, whereas, for John's parents, it was only the father of John that was aware of John's relationship with Helena.
Finally, they both graduated from the University and were sent to the same state to do their National Youth Service and things were going well for them. John was saving his money so that immediately after their service year they would both get married as they had planned right from when they were in school.
After their service year, John officially told her parents about his intention of getting married to Helena, and his parents including his mother were happy happy his decision to get married as he was the first male child in his family.
John's mother asked John who he wanted to get married to and he told his mother the name of his fiance and her background. John's mother felt discouraged about the tradition and culture of her people and she then said the marriage wouldn't work.
