A social media user on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a detailed account of her father’s remarkable response after a man declared his intention to marry her, sparking widespread discussion online.
The X user, identified as @BukkyOA, revealed that the incident took place while she was still in school. According to her, the man who declared his interest in marrying her began sending cryptic messages and even made threats, creating a tense situation that she initially kept to herself.
Details of the Tweet
In a tweet that has garnered over 2 million views, @BukkyOA recounted how she chose to remain silent for the first few weeks despite the man’s persistent attempts to communicate with her. However, one particularly concerning message prompted her to inform her father about the situation, realizing she needed protection and guidance.
Following this, the man went to her parents’ house demanding to see her. The family refused to open the gate for him, forcing him to spend the night outside. The incident quickly drew attention online as a story of parental vigilance and spiritual intervention.
Father’s Spiritual Response
According to @BukkyOA, her father undertook a seven-day spiritual fast immediately after learning of the situation. During this period, he held night vigils, praying and seeking divine guidance, without involving her directly. Remarkably, after the fast concluded, there were no further messages from the man, nor did he attempt to see her again.
His decisive spiritual action and protective measures were praised by many online users as an example of strong parental care and faith-driven intervention.
