.....as Ogun top politician's daughter marries from Edo

The Ogun State Coordinator of Omoilu Foundation, Otunba(Comrade) Niyi Osoba at the weekend in Ijebu Ode enjoined Nigerians to inter-marry in order to foster greater national cohesion.

Osoba made the call at the wedding reception of his daughter, Dr. Omobolanle Atinuke Osoba and Mr. Oluwatosin Omoruyi from Edo State.

Addressing the couple at the ceremony which took place at the Christ Church Hall, Ijebu ode, Osoba told the couple that the secrets of marriage were patience, fear of God and respect for each other.

According to him, marriage is significant as it symbolises harmony, peace and unity.

“An ideal Marriage complements the peaceful co-existence the government at all levels have been clamouring for. To further achieve unity and growth in this country, our children must inter- marry’’, he added.

I think sometimes leaders get carried away and yearn rubbish. Just because his child marries into Edo now people should start marrying other tribes. Nonsense from this elder.

People should marry into other cultures with shared value system, not for national cohesion.

Not bad
