Do not hold grudges. Rebuild your relationship with your parents. The right time is NOW! You do not know how much time either you or your parents have to live. The future is not promised to anyone!

[@Kagwamas]

Big kudos to the interviewer!! Patient, impartial, accomodating, good questions that allowed them express themselves and allowed viewers to get a better understanding. Hope Tuko realizes your worth and compensates you well. The hypocracy of "christians" here is pathetic. People will be who they choose to be. God has not appointed anyone to help him judge.

You say how you look and your background nothing is wrong with you your background or your looks. Im happy your wife's father is supportive. But be mindful that if the father was not supportive, one of you would have be subjugated to honour killings. Or she could have been taken to Pakistan and forced married to her cousin. Wonderful Wonderful dad. Amazing beautiful love story🎉❤❤

[@charslifestylevlogs5163]

I don't understand, one minute she said her dad was supportive the next he wasn't expecting of them being together, also a Nika ceremony is only to permit sex. So no wonder the family don't agree, you just had a nicka to permit you to have sex with her, no celebrations or family this was just for sex. Then you both claim that your parents are not supportive of your relationship the next they all want to meet the baby and be in your lives, was anyone else confused because I was very confused 🤔

[@vickie7171]

Don’t say you cut off the parents, you need their blessings they’re like a second god to you, watch out parents see what we children don’t see,but all the best,,young man you’re so blind make up now when you’re still breathing it might be too late some day and you will regret big time

There is a painful truth about his relationship with his family. He talked about how he was treated as a child. I hope that he gets some counseling to be able to forgive.

And don't forget that nothing you'll do without parents blessings, ask me what happened in our family when my elder bro decided to move on and he were bitter with the parents more than 10yrs being abroad,he was getting money buy he was ever in pain but since he came back he has done alot within 4yrs

[@margaretkariuki7776]

Yes..... Sylvia and Koree really helped them to come and settle in Kisumu from the village. They helped them find an apartment. Gifted them with Washing machine, iPhone and house items to start off. They helped them boost their KZbin channel. Then Ian accused Koree of flirting with Anaika. How now? Can you even compare? Sylvia is a beautiful, sweet, kind and loving wife to Koree. She loves Koree family and they love her❤

[@niyasan5241]

The couple have been together for many years / the majority of their time together that they did not have friends. Their friendship with the Bichangas is happened recently through mutual collaboration of creating content. I am sure the Rakistani family are grateful for help they have gotten from them. This couple always express gratitude in their videos.

I watch their channel quite regularly, Ian is very controlling. He is keeping his wife isolated from friends they did make and their families. They could have supportive people from their friends families and playmates for their son. She should join a mothers group and have time away from Ian. Also Ian should get a proper job and stop sponging off strangers.

If they love each other, no problem. But, how i wish that it's the girl who converted to Christianity so that they could work together in prayer. With God, anything is possible. Maombi ingevunjavunja kila kitu until parents would come together ❤️ with love and favour. God is love, God can fight all your battles and make anything that seems hard to people to become possible 🙏🏻. In the mean time, they should try and embrace people. Going to church would assist in strong prayers. With time, their parents could come around finally. It would be so easy for them to conquer if they had God on their side ❤❤❤. Wish them well, though.

Thank you for sharing your story. The most important things in life can not be bought with money, as much as you are trying to earn a living, you have a small brother who does not have a father, probably given the chance he would like it, if you are just in his life. Money will never be enough so do not have that mentality that one day you will have enough to go back and support him, by then it will be too late, you will not have a relationship with him.

That's true but just realising on him and his decision and just following on is what seems to be what she's doing despite only being 10years when they met I feel like he controls everything and that's not healthy, she see is name in hers and so she follows what he wants like a god, nicka is just sex permission not a actual marriage or ceremony they said it them selves that they have not had a ceremony and it's not marriage like that.i see a lot of problems ahead.
