Hilarious but true LegitBachelor: True you would need to meet in person and take pictures to prove your relationship. However it is not a must that your fiancee comes to Nigeria. You guys can meet any other place. It can be Dubai, UK, France, India, etc. It is not compulsory you guys meet in Nigeria or the US. The most important thing is that there must be a meeting. It can be in Sambisa forest, Lagos, Sokoto, Ghana, America, Asia, Africa, etc. The place is irrelevant . 1 Like |
