While listing out some of her suitors in Igbo language, she said one was from Cameroon. Susanna added that all her siblings are married to Catholics, and her dad wanted the same for her.
When quizzed about why she did not go against him, Susanna said it was difficult for children to oppose their parents years ago as there were consequences for doing such.
