After years of being rejected by a lot of women owing to his height, Kwoyela Derick, a 39-year-old teacher in Bamenda, Cameroon, has finally found a life partner.
Derick, often known as DK, comes from Bali Nyonga in Cameroon’s Northwest Region and met his girlfriend, Kahboh Patience, 28, in January 2022.
The instructor said he loves Patience and wants her to be the mother of his children.
“Her character attracted me. She is perfect because she gives me maximum respect and she is God-fearing too,” he said.
They live in a culture that is “intolerant” of individuals like Derick. Most people would not want to associate with him, much alone marry him.
His connection with Kahboh Patience has passed multiple testimonies from detractors.
“One of our biggest obstacles was when we were planning to get married. Her friends and some people close to her were complaining and asking why she is getting married to short man like me,” Derick said
Despite the stereotypes, they both remained in love and are planning their wedding.
“I have promised to take good care of my wife. I want our story to be an inspiration to everyone, including those who have lost hope in love. There is a chance and someone special for us all,” he said.
Their traditional wedding has been scheduled on April 6, 2023, in Bali Nyonga, with the white wedding ceremony scheduled for April 8, 2023, in Bamenda.
Patience, a seamstress by trade, said that she is willing to remain by her husband “for better or for worse.”
