Speaking with Afrimax, 21-year-old Brian recalled how his father left his mother when he was younger. Brian’s mother raised him and sent him to university, where he met Brianna.
“So, we met at a party in school, just a random day. The school had organised a party. That’s where we met through a friend.
“We met through a friend who said like, you and a friend I know, you have some similarities.
“So, she organised that we had met. We met that day and she was fun, she was cool that day. And that’s how we started liking and talking to each other…,” Brian explained.
Corroborating Brian’s story, 19-year-old Brianna told Afrimax. she met Brian through a friend and they clicked right away. She said:
“I met him through a friend who mentioned that there was a guy she knew who had a similar personality to mine and I was curious to meet him. I asked my friend to introduce us when we met.
“We clicked right away and really enjoyed each other’s company. We didn’t know we were related at first. We quickly became best friends and then fell in love.
“I felt so strongly about him that it seemed nothing could stop my feelings.”
Many months after their relationship, they soon found out about the truth. Brian shared how he discovered Brianna is his sister. In his words:
“One day, we were relaxing on the bed after a long day at school then she showed me a picture of her dad and I was very shocked. Because the same father she was showing me is also my father.
“And I was so nervous because we have already committed inc.est and I was so worried about what so many people are going to think, all my relatives and what my mum was going to think.”
Brian, who broke down in tears during the interview, said people judge them but it is not their fault.
While his mum supported their relationship, Brianna’s people cut her off, leaving the young couple at each other’s mercy regarding fending for themselves.
This is because Brian’s mum is not well-to-do.
Another couple had discovered they are related after eight years of marriage.

“Men go around having babies and not even providing for them. These mothers solely took care of their children and look at what’s happened here. Imagine this man having 6 different children with different women, her grandchildren can also get married
“Such a shame. Men should be responsible.”

“The moral of the story is, that when you meet anyone new, get to know them well including their parents before getting intim.ate. Especially if you don’t have or never met one of your parents, you be more careful. The end.”

“The only people that will support them are people like them… in Nigeria it is a big abomination and she might not be able to give birth to that child until the necessary cleanse rites are done…”

“The guy is more emotional about the situation than the girl, it seems like she doesn’t care at all, she is the one who is pushing the relationship more, she is not wanting separation, the guy might.”...READ FULL ARTICLE
