Mudipapa sets the tone of family love
I am a Roman Catholic, 82 years old and was married to my dear wife, Helen, for 55 years and 9 months before she passed on, on 30thMarch 2018. I was 24 and a fresh graduate from the University College, Ibadan, when I first met my wife, and we were married six months later on June 30, 1962. My wife, née, Helen Anurukem, only 19, had just finished her secondary education at Cornelia Connelly College, Uyo, and after two days of meeting me would write: ‘I had made up my mind. I knew that I would marry this man.’
