Tope Alabi, a gospel singer, has disclosed that she was turned down by four men before marrying her spouse.
She claims that the men left her after she asked for spiritual guidance regarding their relationship.
The 55-year-old singer, in a video posted to Instagram, described how, as a young woman prepared for marriage, every time she introduced a man to her parents, things would take an odd turn.
“When I became an adult and it was getting to a stage that I needed to take men to meet my parents, something strange always came up. The men would just say they needed to go and pray about it and afterward, they would stop reaching out to me,” Alabi said.
“One of our intermediaries once told me that one of the men had gone to meet prophets who told him I was not okay to be married to,” she said. “I can count like four men that stylishly left me. Would you then tell me not to thank God whenever I remember that?”
“The man promised to marry me, but I told him that’s what all men say. I told him to go and ask about me,” she recalled. “After he told my parents he would come for proper introduction, we stopped seeing each other. My father had already given out my hand in marriage to another suitor before he travelled.”
The gospel singer, who was previously married to Lekan Olaoye, with whom she had a daughter, Ayomikun is now married to Soji Alabi, her longtime producer and manager. The couple share three children.
“When I look back, I just thank God for how everything turned out. It was not easy, but it was worth it,” she concluded.
To all the singles out there I will want you to know that God’s timing is perfect. While the wait may sometimes feel long, trust that He is preparing the right person for you at the right time.
Stay hopeful, keep faith strong, and continue to focus on becoming the best version of yourself.
Your future husband is out there, and when the time is right, everything will align beautifully. Keep trusting God’s plan—you are destined for great things!
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
