Nigeria’s VP Yemi Osibanjo’s daughter to tie the Knot with Muslim billionaire’s son
In the spirit of Valentine, Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osibanjo, took to twitter to announce the engagement of his daughter, Oludamilola, to Hajia Bola Shagaya’s son, Oluseun Bakare, this morning.

This announcement is seen as a great achievement for the two major religions in the country.
However, some members of the public who are shocked by the announcement have accused her fiance of being a Muslim and have said that the church of which he [Osibanjo] is a pastor, enforce strict standards on marriage in accordance with “biblical standards”.
Your pentecostal pastor Vice-president’s daughter is about to marry a Muslim billionaire’s son.
So at no point during couple’s counselling did they bring up being unequally yoked with unbelievers or is that a teaching only poor church members have to follow?

If it was your child what are you gonna do ? You think he has a choice?

These are 2 adults for God’s sake, even after counselling, people still have the right to choose who they marry. Although it is advisable to marry someone with same religious values to avoid marital tension.
Making this about money already defeats the veracity of your tweet.
