“Broken Engagement Is Better Than Broken Marriage” – OAP Destiny Amaka On Calling Off Her Engagement

It’s not easy to break off an engagement but as Destiny Amaka rightfully points out, it is much better than a broken marriage.

The Cool FM OAP took to Instagram to share with her fans the story of her broken engagement and how she has no regrets about walking away from the relationship as they were preparing for their traditional marriage.

Here’s her story in her own words:

Broken engagement is better than broken marriage. Paris 2011 he popped the question, I saw the ring???? my mums face, my friends and family who flew in cheering for joy. The money that was spent, the effort from family and friends. No one would know the heated argument we had few hours before this pic was taken. Fast forward few months, during the entire preparation for our traditional wedding we weren’t speaking, but they will tell you its normal, it happens. Its not true! It takes immense courage to walk away from something you’ve been building for years. I was young, won’t say much. @nickiminaj tweets few weeks back hit close to home. No regrets! No hate, I strongly believe he gave his best, and with that knowledge its up to you to determine whether their best is good enough for you. Gratitude???????? #throwbackthursday my soul craves for a little bit more from life???? I gave the ring back, the cars, the house, our investments all! And with my little savings I was hidding in my friends account I moved to Lagos 2012 started from scratch, with no friends or family members I really knew???????? what a journey!
