The new emir of
Kano Sanusi Lamido has two wives. He got
married to his first wife, Hajia Sadiya - the 7th daughter and 16th child of
late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero - 25 years ago.
"I knew I was
going to be betrothed but I didn't know when since I wasn't being asked when. I
met my husband through my own family - he is like my brother. He grew up in the
Emir palace and I thought he was my elder brother because he was always with my
older brothers. I grew up seeing him in our house so I was surprised when he
started to show interest in me. I later discovered we were not related and
married him.
I thank the
Almighty Allah for the great gift of children. When I married him, I didn't
have a child immediately till about three years later. When we had our first
son, we were filled with joy. As for marriage, staying married has to do with
patience and obedience - these two have helped my marriage. Your husband should
always be the head of the family no matter your status "
"My joy was
when my husband was tur-banned because we looked forward to it but it came when
we least expected it. I was so full of joy that day."
Looks really yiung
