A hilarious video featuring Nathaniel Bassey's father-in-law has sparked widespread reactions as he shared the amusing reason he gave his daughter, Sarah, to the gospel singer in marriage. The elderly man spoke at a gathering, recounting the events that led to the union and why he feels more comfortable staying with the couple despite having sons abroad.
The Father-in-Law's Story
According to the father-in-law, when Nathaniel Bassey first approached him, he was accompanied by a man named Kola, who introduced him as a trumpeter. The elderly man recalled reacting with surprise, saying, "Trumpet ke?" He explained that he initially told them his daughter, who was in her 200 level at the university at the time, would not get married until she graduated. This was meant to discourage the gospel singer from pursuing her. However, Bassey waited patiently until she graduated and returned to see him.
He further revealed that when the gospel singer returned, he promised to bring Pastor Ben, who was then the Commissioner for Economic Development in Lagos State. Sarah's father admitted he expected the promise not to be fulfilled, so he could label Bassey a liar and end the relationship. But to his surprise, Bassey eventually returned to Eket with Pastor Ben to formally seek his daughter's hand in marriage.
Why He Prefers Staying with Nathaniel Bassey
The father-in-law added that he has witnessed the love of God in Nathaniel Bassey's home, which is why he feels comfortable staying with him. He noted that although he has sons in Lagos and Canada, he prefers to stay with Nathaniel Bassey's family. This statement brought laughter from the audience and admiration from fans online.
Fans React to the Video
Netizens flooded the comments section with humorous and heartfelt reactions. One user, @maduka_bella_, wrote: "Pastor Sarah just wants the ground to open, mummy leave your scarf alone abeg." Another, @ovilla10_28, commented: "Whatever you do as a man please have an authority over you. Someone you submit to. Be accountable to someone. Listen to the part that wasn't said. Imagine if Pst Nath didn't have Pst Ben as a father or as an authority over him, this probably would not have happened."
@kuyet_kaykay added: "Hearing this story from Pst Nath during HC is funny but hearing it directly from the father in law is even funnier." @blisdynasty reacted: "What is his job?...He blows trumpet. What GOD cannot do does not exist." @cleanerspestcoachafrica shared: "Tell him oo my daughter is in school, trumpet ke ... Lol so real grandpa thank you sir."
