Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The one who said \u2018va ma love you can die\u2019 didn\u2019t see this man coming. In the morning, Blantyre central business district was greeted by a birthday billboard, thanks to her husband\u2019s effort. The man braved people\u2019s negative opinions about love and went on to place the billboard, in celebration of his wife\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

The billboard which accommodates the wife\u2019s image is captioned, \u201chappy birthday my dear wife.\u201d This has shocked some people as they believe that real love does not exist. Others share the view that this is strange in Malawi considering many people\u2019s humble economic statuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this real love or the man is following a movie script? I can\u2019t believe this kind of love exists in Malawi, anyway let us give him benefit of the doubt although their love doesn\u2019t concern us,\u201d said Nyox Gondwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we thought pa ground patelera (the economic situation has gone bad) someone decided to surprise his wife in such an extravagant fashion, strange not so?\u201d Commented Shabina Molande.<\/p>\n

Some passersby thought the billboard is marketing cosmetics, until they were assured that it is a real birthday message from her husband. The woman in the billboard is identified as Mrs Chiwanda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
