Just Married: The Love story of Tosin and Bukola Yusuff

‘…this is the woman that I love, she’s the centre of my joy. This is the woman that I love, no one else could make me say ‘I do’…’. Those are some of the words from the song that Tosin performed for Bukola on their wedding day the 8^thday of September 2012 and he meant every word. The engagement ceremony was held at Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, they said their vows at the Anglican Church of the Ascension Ikeja and the wedding reception took place at Times Square also in Ikeja. For every woman anywhere who has ever said or thought that Nigerian men are not romantic, Tosin is evidence that you are not entirely right.
