OUR STORY:
The story of how Aliyu and I met is
somewhat clichéd and somewhat weird, but in a sentimental way. You can call it
coincidence or pure serendipity; but I call it FAITH! My husband, Aliyu, is
actually a distant relative of mine and till date, our families are still
really close. I call it faith because 26
years ago, his parents’ home in Yola was where my mum’s Budan Kai (unveiling of
the bride) was held during her wedding to my dad. His older brother was the
leader of the delegation that took my dad’s introduction items (Goro) to my mother’s
parent’s house, to ask for her hand in marriage on behalf of my dad, and interestingly,
26 years after, the same older brother was part of the delegation that took my
own Goro to ask for my hand in marriage, but this time, on behalf of his own
brother. I find that Super Sentimental!
Anyway, he had been into me for a few
years and he often visited my father’s house alongside my uncle, but I had a
hard time viewing him in a different light other than my uncle; so I never
really paid much attention to it or bothered to give him my time.
It happened for us when I travelled
to Saudi Arabia for Umrah during the Ramadan, and as God will have it, he was
there on Umrah too. (I still believe he was there because he learnt from my
uncle that I was going to be there too) LoL. Jokes!
Anyway, having known that I was going
back to Monaco after the Umrah, and he probably wouldn’t see me for at least
three months, he seized the opportunity to join my family for a couple fancy
Iftar dinners (Breaking of one's fast). After seeing the kind of person he was,
I genuinely knew in my heart that he was the one. I even began to question
myself why I never gave him a listening ear; clearly I almost played myself,
ha-ha! I would have missed out on being with my very own Prince Charming,
literally!
Few weeks later, his delegation took the Goro
(Introduction/Proposal items) to my parents. Ultimately, I call it faith
because it happened in the Holy city and that was one of the main reasons it
felt so pure and right to me. By
