This is the best thing Daddy has ever done for me, I was telling my wingman Comrade Tersoo S. Orbunde yesterday and to the depth of my heart I meant it.
Thank you Daddy for this Christmas gift and a new chapter in our lives.
Finally we now have a mother that would be receptive, a shelter and a refuge for all the orphans in the Dajoh dynasty.
I have not forgotten...It's too soon.

A Christian President with a Muslim First Lady, George and Zaynab. This marriage is a good move, something more than a marriage. It will appeal to the Northern Hausa/ Fulani hegemony, politically.
