‘Her Family Got Involved And Said …’ – BBNaija Star, Boma Opens Up On Marriage Rejection
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Boma Akpore, has opened up how his plans to settle down with his partner were abruptly brought to an end after her family rejected him outright.
Speaking during an interview with media personality, Chude Chideonwo, on the WithChude podcast, the Nollywood actor revealed that he was already preparing to propose to the woman he deeply loved and believed he would marry.
The reality star disclosed that he was set to travel to the United States last August to purchase an engagement ring, noting that his intentions were serious and well-planned.
According to him, everything took an unexpected turn when his partner’s family became involved and dismissed the idea of their marriage, insisting it was “impossible” based on things they had heard about him.
Boma said the rejection was painful and discouraging, adding that his public image, shaped by his time in the entertainment industry, played a major role in the family’s disapproval.
The movie star described the relationship as amazing, despite the normal ups and downs.

“I met someone that I really liked and I was going to marry. I was supposed to be engaging her like last August, I was going to go to America, get the ring, bring it back because I liked her and I told her I was going to marry her.
“It was an amazing relationship, we had a little bit of ups and downs but it was perfect. I thought we had a perfect relationship till the family got involved and said ‘this guy? Hell no, impossible.’
“So that collapsed everything and that was very discouraging. If I was not in entertainment or public eye, nobody would know some things about me. Once you come on the public, that is the prize you have to pay.”
