“We met in 1988, few love letters later we became friends. The pursuit of higher education pulled us apart, but destiny brought us back together. On the 1st of September 2001, in the city were we met and fell in love(Port Harcourt) we exchanged marital vows supported by family and friends.
God has blessed us with three lovely young adults, kept us in good health and has seen us through a turbulent world that is always changing.
We are not chasing records or trying to prove people wrong. We are just living our lives and showing to ourselves that we made the right decision…in love, trust, faith and humility.
