Nigerian billionaire businessman, Emma Okonkwo's son, Ugo Okonkwo, has disclosed an unusual tradition that he faced before marrying his wife, Kene.
In an interview with media personality Cynthia Obi-Uchendu, Ugo shared that his in-laws gave him a 3-page exam to write as part of his marriage process.
According to him, Kene’s parents asked him to pen down why he wanted to marry their daughter—a task with a set deadline.
“They gave me a date to submit. I met with both her parents on Wednesday. They said submit it Friday 2pm, for example. That's a 22nd. Exam,” he said.
Ugo recalled how he ran to his father for support, only to be told: “You see, if you want to marry, you go and write. If you don't want to marry, you go to school. Please, let's discuss business.”
He took the task seriously and drafted a detailed letter, structuring his reasons into five key points before submitting it to Kene’s mother.
The billionaire’s son admitted the experience was nerve-racking, especially after hearing no feedback for days.
“I submitted Friday, no reply till Monday. I said, Kene, is your mom around? She said yes. I said, I've lost. If I submit my answer Friday, and Saturday, Sunday, Monday, no answer. The examiner has not said anything. Nothing. You must have failed now. They don't know how to tell you,” he said.
Ugo still has the letter and plans to frame it for their children to see. He also stated that anyone coming to marry his daughters must do the same.
