The\n2nd citizen of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo, haven\u2019t\nspoken about their love story for once. But many people who know the couple\nhave spoken about it. One of them is VPs brother, Akin and Dolapo Osinbajo\u2019s\nfather, Sir Tayo Soyode. It was revealed that Dolapo and her husband first met\nwhen they were much younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When\nwe were all younger, there was a time we were all worshipping in the same\nchurch in Ikenne,\u201dAkin started the touching story about how Dolapo and Yemi had\nmet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According\nto Akin \u201cPapa Awolowo would sit in front row and my own parents would sit in\nthe next row behind him. And one day we were all coming; you know during the\nChristmas we have thanksgiving. We the children, when it was time for\nthanksgiving, we were all asked to come out for thanksgiving. So, when we were\ncoming back, because we four boys, all dressed in suit, and as teenagers we\nwere all dancing, looked very gorgeous, and likewise the girls. Papa stood up\nand faced our parents and said one of the boys should marry one of his girls\n(that\u2019s granddaughters) And Mama said that can\u2019t happen. But Papa said in\nIsrael cousins do marry. That was about 15 years before they actually got\nmarried. By the time they were marrying Papa had passed on. When the two of\nthem came to say they wanted to marry later and the family said they could not\nmarry because they are blood relations, Mama said, her husband, the late Chief\nObafemi Awolowo, had said they should not be stopped from marrying, that Papa\nhad said it while he was alive that they could marry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amiable wife of the former Governor has been together with her\nhusband for over 2 decades and still counting. You can\u2019t help but admire them\nwhen their daughter married Hon. Abike Dabiri\u2019s son a few month ago. She\nrecently disclosed in an interview with this magazine that she met her husband\nwhile he was running his accounting firm.

He then came back and said\nNITEL has offered him a job and he refused because he needed to be in Kaduna\nbecause of me and that was how we started\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GOV.\nWIKE AND WIFE, JUSTICE SUZZETE <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n River\nstate Governor Nyesome Wike and his wife , Justice Suzzette have been married\nfor over 19 years and they recently shared their love story on their wedding\nanniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According\nto his wife, Justice Suzette on her love story \u2018its funny how life sometimes\ntakes us where we never plan or expect to go. For three years, we sat in the\nsame lecture rooms and halls but never passed a word between each other. It was\nonly after I chanced upon his law note books in the possession of a mutual\nclassmate that everything changed. At that time, the law books in our library\nwere expired and in most cases not available and we had to find other means to\nreport our Nigerian case law. Most of us resorted to copying from others who\nhad lawyer friends they visited in chambers and while there, used their law\nreports\/books. It surprised me then, to realize that he was indeed a serious\nminded student and not as I had earlier perceived. His notes were up to date as\nhe took time to report more cases than were cited by our lecturers, which\nnecessarily meant better grades if you can put them all down in your answer\nsheets during tests and examinations. I immediately coveted that notebook and\npleaded with my classmate to loan me the book after she had finished, promising\nto return it in two days. She refused. Another request with the promise to\nreturn it in one day as I was prepared to sit up all night copying those cases\nwas declined. My last plea to photocopy the notebook and return it immediately\nfell on deaf ears. She told me to seek the permission of the owner, with the\nbelief that I wouldn\u2019t dare.And, of course, she was right to think that as she\nknew that we had never once spoken to each other. At that point, I inquired\nfrom her, his name. She replied simply: \u201cWike\u201d. I wondered how odd that name\nsounded as I\u2019d never heard it before. I also wondered how to approach him as I\nbelieved that he disliked me as much as I did him. But the desire to have that\nfully- loaded note book was too strong. I could not give up without at least,\nmaking an attempt. As he passed by us, I called his name as I had just learnt:\n\u201cexcuse me, Wike\u201d. He froze and I noticed his shock and disbelief. I started\nputting my words together, expecting him to scowl at me, and thinking in his\nhead \u2013 \u201cOh! So you have decided to talk to me now that you need my notebook and\nthat was how we started\u201c. Suzette revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ROTIMI AMAECHI AND\nWIFE, JUDITH <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Former\nGovernor of Rivers State who is now Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi and his\nwife Judith have been in marriage for many years and still waxing strong.\nAccording to Judith who revealed their love story many months ago\u201cMy husband is\na very wonderful person. He is very kind-hearted. Just forget the\nmisconceptions some people have about him. He is a wonderful husband. This year\nwill make it 22 years of our blissful marriage. I was 15 years old the first\ntime I ever knew him. I met him again when I was 19. He met me for the first\ntime in my life at a wedding. I was quite young at the time. I think he just\nloved me from the beginning. And I grew into loving him as well. He didn\u2019t just\npropose to me at the first meeting. We dated for a while before we married.\u201d\nJudith xplained<\/p>\n\n\n\n GOV.

City People Magaizne once interviewed Erelu\nBisi Fayemi where she spoke about her age long relationship between her and her\nhandsome husband. She explained that she met her husband when they were both\nundergrads at University of Ife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According\nto her: \u201cWe were in the same class and when you are a student you interact. As\na student then you don\u2019t have to start looking at all the young boys in class\nas potential lovers. My own priority then was to focus on my studies, but like\nhe said, I had known him in class as someone who was quiet, but very bright,\ngoing by his interaction and behaviour in the class but when I saw him in the\nlibrary that day, I needed to get some books out and I didn\u2019t have my library\ncard on me. I looked around and saw him sitting in a corner of the library. I\nwalked up to him and asked him if he could take a book out for me which he did\nand that was how we started\u201c, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OBA SAHEED\nELEGUSHI AND OLOORI SEKINAT <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not\nuntil of recent, not many people know the real love story of Olori Aramide Elegushi\nand her husband of 13 years, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi.
