Our Love Story was That of 'Love At First Sight' - Akeredolu Widow

"I met my husband in Enugu, he was a youth corper then in Enugu. I was also posted to Enugu. So a friend of mine visited me and she came along with her boyfriend who also came along with my husband. That was how we met and it was love at first sight. I think people frown at love at first sight but it worked for us.

I fell in love with his broad shoulders. Then he was really looking very cute. I can still remember what he was wearing that day – a red shirt, long sleeves and jeans trousers. That was 37 years ago. He couldn’t even take me out because he didn’t have money as a youth corper. It was quite magnetic and that was it.

There is a 3-year age difference between us. I am older than him anyway. I was like 25 then while he was 22. It was love that really endured. I had graduated and in my place (Owerri) when a girl graduates from the University suitors come from left, right and centre. And your parents would expect you to go for a made man with everything, but I have always known that there was no way I could have married a self-made man. I will better build a home from the scratch with you because I want to have a say in my home"

Rest On Aketi

Love sweet

But

Verily we belong to Allah, and verily to Him do we return

Rest on Aketi

Not bad

love is wonderful. love breaks barriers.

She survived breast cancer, with Akeredolu close by her all through her journey to remove the cancerous cells

Cheers for the update

Awwww. So romantic. She must be hurting right now. May God grant their family the fortitude to bear the loss.

For the love of Aketi, I won't say what is on my mind.

He should continue to gallantly rest in peace.

It does break barriers. Even though I have my reservations about how she hijacked the state in the last few years past, It's all bygone now. I only pray God comforts her.

I feel her pain but she didn't do well in Aketi's last days

Sweet story.

I am sure she really enjoyed her love life. May the Lord console her.


I pray that all good women fall in love with good and caring men. That's how love can be enjoyed

Why are some people attacking Betty? I can't understand. I suspect that because she and her husband were impregnable and their marriage heavily fortified by their love and respect, some just had to hate the woman, Betty.

RIP bro

Akeredolu was one of the most handsome and smooth looking governors in Nigeria
With his classic white beards.

I really feel for this woman, this will truly hurt

P.s
I have noticed that Yoruba and Igbo love dey strong well well.
Especially if the guy is Yoruba and the woman is from Igbo.

Because at the later stage of Aketi's governance, she took control like in the case of Turai.

Losing a loved one is always painful. You won't understand unless you've had the experience.

Didn't know she is an Igbo woman. Nice one.

Continue to journey well, Akeredolu.

Okay

Take heart Madam Aketi.

One never knows how it hurts to lose a much loved one till it happens to them.


May the soul of the departed rest peacefully.

Love is beautiful
