The couple
are indeed full of bliss and gratitude as they celebrate each other and their
marriage of 30 years. The humble, peace-loving couple celebrated last night
with a flurry of goodwill and congratulatory messages. But as the messages pour
in, Yemi and Dolapo immerse in undiluted fun, necking and giggling, and
professing love to each other with hearts reignited and set alight.
The madam was
more than happy that after all the matrimonial issues, she still has Yemi her
husband. Yemi and Dolapo have gone
through a lot in their marriage no doubt. Thankfully, several young couples
look up to them. Theirs is a relationship seemingly made in heaven and
consummated here in Nigeria.
However,
Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is not just an erudite man
of letters; his impressive understanding of governance is a top notch and so is
his respect for family values, which precede him everywhere he goes and even
stand him out on numerous occasions.
The Ogun
State-born Professor of law lives a life that is embodiment of many virtues and
no known vices. That he is a role model to many is not in doubt.
In spite of
these glowing personal traits, this man of the pulpit-turned politician is
hardly seen wearing a wedding band, a Christian tradition passed down through
generations and seen as a symbol of endless love and matrimonial unity.
In fact, Osinbajo has never been caught with
one before, a practice that has been a subject of recurring debates among his
supporters as well as critics who would readily concede that this practice of
his was not born out of untoward desire to be dodgy.
Findings have
shown that Professor Osinbajo chose to jettison the idea of wearing a wedding
band because one, his marriage to his beautiful wife, Dolapo, was not
solemnized with the wedding band but with the Bible, and two, he is not into
wearing jewelry at all. His simplicity has spurred his detachment from it.
The couple is
ardent members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), a church which
allows couples the choice of the Bible or wedding ring for solemnization of
their union. Osinbajo’s choice might not be unconnected with his conservative
religious belief as a pastor of same church and the need to live by example by
leading a modest life. So mischief makers, beware!
