#illorin

Una fachada de una casa de Colombia y mi último post de mi país. Es una casa a la que fui mucho cuando era niño. Queda en un pueblo llamado Mosquera, muy cerca de la capital. Podemos ver a Serafina, un pájaro que visitaba a mi mamá en el balcón de la casa y Mia, un perro gosque de mi hermano. Mis papas, en la ventana viéndome partir una y otra vez, para una y otra vez encontrarnos de nuevo. Próximo país, Costa Rica.

Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs Olufolake Abdulrazaq, has secured an apartment for Risikat, the blue-eyed lady, who reunited with her estranged husband, Abdulwasiu Omodada, at a Nikkah held in Ilorin on Saturday.

Adeniyi said the key to the rented apartment was handed over to the couple on Friday.

He said the apartment was secured in a choice area of Ilorin as request by the couple.

Adeniyi, who said the programmes lined up for the blue-eyed lady and her husband by the governor’s wife and planned in phases, noted, “We wanted to secure a shop for the lady to sell patent medicine, but when we went to pay for both the shop and the apartment, we were told that somebody else had paid for the shop and we only paid for the apartment and asked the couple to look for another shop.

“Thereafter, the Ajike Support Group will obtain a licence for the lady to operate a patent medicine store and stock the shop for her.”

Meanwhile, the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has advised Risikat and Abdulwasiu to live in peace and be tolerant of each other in order to have a stable home.
