Happy married life to one of an icon in Nigeria

Happy Anniversary sir, I remember my mum told me she trekked to his wedding all because their teacher told them they must attend so as to discuss in class.

So Gowon ruled Nigeria for over two years as a bachelor ? Am just imagining I was the mother of his wife back then, at least two oil wells for dey inside the dowry list aside other largesse ... Quote-insult me and die hanging upside down from a metallic cross.

BTW Happy 50th wedding anniversary General "G"... Tonto Dike and other Nollywood folks should learn from you Sir.
