Please continue to manage me like that.. I love you to the moon & back, sweetheart. #Happy25thWeddingAnniversary #TWOplus”
Wunmi Aboderin met Tunde Obe while an undergraduate at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in 1988 where she was pursuing a degree in Philosophy.
Tunde, an undergraduate of Lagos State University (LASU) was pursuing a degree in History Education.
