It was in 2016 during the Headies Awards that we all watched rapper Eva Alordiah during her performance with Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, get proposed to. She was in the middle of her performance when out of nowhere, her then boyfriend Caesar slowly walked on stage, got on one knee and proposed to the then 28 year old singer. Eva was excited, the crowd was excited, everybody was excited. Only there was one problem - the wedding never came. What happened?
Now 34, Eva Alordiah reflects on that day and opens up about the lessons she's learnt since and her thoughts on love today. Here is what Eva Alordiah said.

Taking to Twitter, Eva Alordiah wrote saying:
My Dad called me yesterday. He wanted to know if I was in a relationship. He said, “You know, it’s good to have someone.” I told him - “Daddy to be honest, that’s not what’s been bothering me at all. I haven’t even cared about it.” “Why?” He could hardly mask the concern in his voice. I said to my Dad plainly- “Because I’ve been more concerned about my mental health. I couldn’t have been in a healthy relationship with my mind out of wack.” I have been taking care of myself, going to the dark places, healing my wounds, becoming a better person. I’d expect that if I am attracting someone now, it would be a much better match than back when I didn’t even know who I was. “Hmmm.. that’s true. You’re right.” he said. We went on to talk for another thirty minutes, about family, business, projects, life.
I think I may have earned an extra level of respect from my Dad. But first I had to earn that Respect in myself. I’m 34 years flourishing. I absolutely enjoy the bonding of man and woman, the cosmic dance and exploration of love, the blessing of Intimacy. I want all of that and more. But I’m far from desperate for it. In the past years I have invested more time and energy healing myself, paying attention to what I’m doing on this planet, what my Soul is yearning for. I have gained more clarity in the past week than ever before and I’m so excited for the journey that’s unfolding before me.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all other things will be added to you…”, “The kingdom of God is within you..” The most important task we get to do here on this planet is the task of our own Inner Engineering. You can’t get right until you get right WITHIN.
People often ask me why I quit music for 5 years. I tell them the same thing every time: “I went away to take care of Elohor”. There is not a task more important than the task of YOU. Please, take care of you 🙏🏽❤️
