'I cried and prayed to God' – Queen Mercy Atang recounts first encounter with her husband

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Queen Mercy Atang has talked about how she first got to know her husband, King David Oyekanmi, in 2023.

The reality star is grateful to God for the spiritual skills that enable her to recognize her true love and act on her gut when it comes to posting on Snapchat.

Queen Mercy Atang described how her spouse messaged her, they exchanged contact information, and the rest is history.

The mother of one continued by pleading with her followers to face and conquer their fears, as fear nearly caused her husband to walk out on them.

She is grateful to him for his love and patience, for holding her hand as she prays, and for constantly reminding her of God's plan and purpose.

According to her, her husband is the nicest thing she's ever had, promising to adore him forever.

She wrote: “Thank you God for the fruit of the spirit.
2nd November 2023, I will forever cherish this date. I was on my way back from a movie set. I was already home but I had done a snap chat video. Something kept saying a post on Snapchat.
I really don’t like posting on snap but I just obeyed and posted. The next day I noticed King David had dropped a msg. I replied, then went ahead to view his snap. In my head, wow David is so fine. His girlfriend is lucky I dropped my phones and went ahead with my business. Few minutes came a reply from my king. He asked for my phone number, and I sent it.

My darlings, there’s a lot in the other side of fear.
How I almost allowed this precious jewel to slip off my hand all because of fear. I was tired of giving it all when it comes to (LOVE) at some point I just wanted to enjoy life. I was done, I was tired.

"Thank you David for not giving up on me so fast, thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for loving me the way you do. I thank you for all the times you hold my hand in every situation and say baby let’s pray. Thank you for being my personal pastor. Always reminding me of God’s will and purpose for his children.

"I prayed and cried to God. He saw my heart and gave me a precious gift which is you my love.

"I will forever love you my king. You’re the best I have ever had. I promise to give this my best. Forever is the goal. Happy Birthday my king, my precious jewel, My intentional man. I love you cr*y king David.”
