Congratulations to you guys. I wish you a happy married life. I’m a Nigerian married to a beautiful Kenyan lady too. My first visit to Kenya in 2016 was met by a very disappointing welcome by the Kenyan immigration at the Jomo Kenyatta international airport.

I was discriminated against for being a Nigerian ... Maya, I appreciate your great work, and I will be very happy to see you continue to use your media to enlighten Africans not to let boundaries created by colonialism tear us apart. One love.

One thing I admire about this whole union is its simplicity. Yes, they could have chosen to spend their life savings and have a 'million dollar' wedding but yet they had a simple but nice ceremony. May God bless and unite this union for as long as they both shall live. Long live AFRICA. Congratulations WODEMAYA.
