I met my husband at Nkrumah Circle – Mavis Asante

Gospel singer Mavis Asante has shared how she met her husband, Prophet Abruku Abruka.

According to her, they met at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra when she went to pick up a parcel sent from Kumasi.

At the time they met, she didn’t know he was a pastor until he was later invited to preach at her church.

“We met at Circle. I was going for my fees. They used to have this Ford, like now VIP that people send parcels to. So I was going to Ford Station to take a parcel from Kumasi, and he was also going to take something from there. That time, I was walking with somebody, so the person was waiting for me somewhere. We were in the queue; he took his parcel first before me, but we didn’t talk, and he left. When I took mine and was going to meet a friend so we could leave, he was chatting with my friend, and she introduced me to him, but we didn’t exchange contacts,” she narrated in an interview.

A few months later, they met again at her church and exchanged contact information. That was how their journey officially began.

“Four months later, he was invited to our church to preach, and that was when I realised that he’s a pastor. After the service, we exchanged numbers, and he called me later in the evening.”

They built a strong friendship and started communicating regularly. He later encouraged her to participate in the Mentor music reality show, where she eventually became a music star.

She stated that she knew she would marry her husband while they were still in the friend zone because of how he supported her when she needed help.

“He’s a very good man and very supportive. He’s somebody who has my interest at heart; he hates to see me worried. He really did support me when I went to mentor, and I knew that he was the right man for me.”

However, before she met her husband, she had always known that she would marry a pastor because the majority of the men who approached her and showed interest in her were pastors.

Hence, she wasn’t surprised when she eventually found out that her husband was one.
