I wonder how his female contemporaries would have been feeling then, anyway he made the right choice” , Open Salawu stated .

The Septuagenarian!, with each new year comes another wrinkle. Invaluable wishes to a man who has so many wrinkles he can donate. Happy Birthday Sir. We love you”, Engr. Muftau prayed .
