How did you meet your husband?
I met him in Jos through a secondary school mate and friend who happens to be his niece. I had just started my undergraduate degree at University of Jos. My friend was already in the university and living with her uncle. So I decided to go in search of her in her uncle’s music studio. There were no mobile phones then and I didn’t know if she’d be there but I took the chance. She wasn’t there but her uncle was. He gave me a warm welcome and made me feel at home while I waited for her to return.
