I'm a 21-year-old girl, who is dating a 28-year-old Nigerian. We have been dating for almost a year now, and he loves me so much. He never shows me any signs of cheating, and I trust him very well. He is a devoted Christian too. Early this year he took me to Nigeria to meet up with his family members and I spent almost a month there.

Now we are planning to get married, but the problem is my parents are so much against Nigerians. They say I should never trust any foreigner, especially those from Nigeria. My dad said he would not accept lobola from my boyfriend if ever he comes to pay the bride price. He has been spoiling me so much, and I don't think I will ever love someone else besides him. How do I convince my parents to loosen their hearts? They love Prophet TB Joshua and Pastor Chris but they don't like other Nigerians.
