On Joy Prime's dating reality show, Make Me Stay, male contestant Bumba Ibrahim broke down in tears during his quest for love. In the show's inaugural episode, Bumba met female contestant Grace, known as Maame Serwaa, who challenged him to help her experience love for the first time. Grace had never been in love before but was eager to explore a romantic connection with Bumba, declaring, "I've never fallen in love before.
I want you to make me fall in love." Bumba agreed, stating, "Yeah, I will." As their conversation progressed, both contestants revealed that they were not virgins. When questioned about his views on marriage, Bumba mentioned that polygamy was acceptable in his family, provided the man could provide for his wives. However, he preferred a single wife if he found the right woman.
Grace seemed open to the idea but emphasized the importance of Bumba making her stay. Their conversation took a more intimate and emotional turn when they returned from the Lovers' Lounge. Bumba said that time away from other contestants had given him a fresh perspective on love and single motherhood after spending time with Grace.
He expressed gratitude for participating in the show, calling his experience a "one touch," even though he had several other options. Bumba revealed that getting to know her better during their lunch date changed some of his perceptions. He emphasized that being a single mother did not make a woman any less deserving of love and suggested that women should not be blamed when relationships fail.
Bumba promised to treat Grace better than her previous partner had, saying, "The guy lost; she did not lose. And I want to make sure I do what the guy could not do for you." The two shared a heartfelt confession of love, leaving the moment filled with emotion. Grace revealed that meeting other contestants had not been the best experience, but she found Bumba to be the best thing that happened to her.
They decided to move forward with their relationship beyond the show, becoming the first couple to fall in love during the season's premiere.
