The wedlock has produced two lovely children; a boy and a girl. So what else is there to say? For a man clocking 60 and still talking about a marriage that has happened 2004/2005?
“We have been around for a very long time, so stories don’t bother us again.
“But I can authoritatively tell you that Bimbo Oshin is in my house, any time, any day. Since she has been in my house she has never left. She is my wife. And to prove to you, maybe that would put the issue to rest, I will call her now for you to talk to her.”
(He called his wife, Bimbo Oshin, and put the phone on speaker).

“I’m in my husband’s house and I have never left.” she said with laughter.
