I have known Neme since JSS3 back in Nigeria. Mate always had his school shirt ironed with a proper lines on them. We became really close in our uni days and hung out with with same set of friends. Neme is a great man and a great friend. When he told me his aunt introduced him to a girl. I was happy for him but when I met Chioma, I felt like it was the perfect match. I have watched his relationship grow and mature. I pray God continue to bless your relationship and your marriage.

I met Chi my freshman year of college at Sam Houston. She was my suite mate. We both were pursuing a major in nursing and bonded over the immense difficulty it took obtaining that degree. Whenever I think of our friendship I think of laughter. She is one of the only friends I have that I can laugh at any and everything with. When she moved to Houston our friendship deepened and she has always been a go to person for me. I cry at the thought of her getting married to Neme because I have watched their relationship blossom from the very beginning. It all just makes sense and I couldn’t picture a better life partner for her. I am beyond honored to stand beside her on their special day!

I can’t remember the very first time we met but I’m sure it wasn’t too long after coming to America! My earliest memories were always linking up at the Enugu state meetings back in the day! Over the years our relationship has definitely grown and I look at you like a sister! It’s always been nothing but good vibes and love from the beginning! My favorite memories with you are always the times when we haven’t seen each other in a while and just hype each other up!! It’s like we haven’t skipped a beat. I am so happy for you and this chapter in your life! I’m so grateful to God for you and all the amazing things He has been doing and what He will continue to do! I wish you a life and marriage full of love, happiness, and success! All the love you have given will be given back to you IJN!

A wise man once said friendship is not about how long but how well. I have known Neme since our secondary school-days. We became close here in United state and even much closer when I visited Houston with my family. In Houston, I had the privilege to meet his beautiful and down to earth wife, Chioma. She called OOO of work so she could spend time with my family. Thank you Iyawo!!! We spent few days with them and it was super amazing. I admire the way they love and cherish each other and I wish you them the best of Life together. God bless 🙏

I met Chioma through one of my cousins some years back. Although I have known here since we were kids, our friendship really blossomed about 5 years ago and has been growing ever since. She is someone that I can trust and confide (and vice versa). Through our shared laughter and tears I can honestly say she is greater than a friend to me, she is my sister. We have bonded over shared interests in music, Igbo culture, and God. I love her natural tendencies to give selflessly all while making necessary decisions to prioritize herself when someone or something is not positively impacting her. She embodies her name in every way. God is good. I pray you and Neme continue to be happy and choose each other everyday. Lean on one another all while building each other up. I love you both!

My name is Ruth and I’m from Mo City, TX. Chi I met at the one and only Sam Houston State University. Our relationship started off shaking body on the African Student Association dance team, and eventually grew as we spent summers in Huntsville binge-watching Skinny Girl in Transit. My favorite memory by far was attending the ICONIC One Africa Music fest, pre-pandemic (what a time lol) in 2016. Chi love, I’m wishing you and Neme the very best in this next season of life! Keep God first and he will surely sustain you. Also, keep crushing it on the cuisine front- that will keep ya’ll close too :)

Chioma, my girl for life! Chioma and I met in UIU Dallas. Ever since then we have been inseparable! Though we don’t get to see each other often, (because she moved to Houston :/) it’s ALWAYS good vibes when we talk or are together. Chi is literally my bush gehl sister! LOL. When I found out Chioma was engaged, I cried tears of joy. God is SO good! I can see the way Neme LOVES her and it makes my heart so overjoyed! I thank God for placing him in her life. Chioma, I’m so excited to stand by your side on your wedding day and celebrate both of you becoming one! I pray that you both have never-ending love, happiness, and peace in your marriage!! May this union continue to be blessed! I love you so much Chioma! Thank you for being such a blessing in my life. #TheUdeUnion is LOADING!!!

I always joke how Chioma and I knew each other since diapers but it’s actually a fact. Chioma is someone that I’ve known my entire life. She’s definitely more like a sister than a friend. One of my favorite memories of us is when we went to Sam Houston together. It was like having another piece of home with me. We literally did soo much together! I’m soo exciting and honored to be able to stand by Chioma on her special day. Chioma, I’m praying for you to have continued joy and happiness throughout your marriage. Now let’s get ready to turn up! 😜

It’s been so long we met, I can’t even remember your basically my sister. My favorite memory of us is when we were at the Enugu meeting and we were singing on stage and uncle's wife cussed us out because we we’re making too much noise and then we started crying lol. You have always been so caring to me. You don’t know how much of a blessing you were to me when I was struggling to find work. You’re heart is pure. I pray God blesses this new chapter in your life. I want u to know I am so proud of you and I see Gods light that is shining. I pray that this union exceeds all that God has planned for you in your life. I love you Chioma and I know you will only grow from here ❤️
