Ossai, a Nigerian man, has followed his heart by converting to Islam in order to marry his wife, May Haidar.
An Hausa Instagram account, named Arewa Fashion and Style, shared the story on Monday, November 21, 2022.
The bride, a native of Kaduna state, posted this on her Instagram page: “Alhamdulillah I get to share my life experiences with you ERKEGIM. I am grateful that we took the steps together amidst the trials, hurdles and difficulties of life … I know the life ahead won’t be all rosy, but with Allah we will be fine… Thank you for sacrificing a lot for me, I won’t take it for granted… The best part of my existence is with you, for you and by you.”
According to the bride, who responded to a congrats message under her post, her father was originally skeptical about the conversion.
She said, “I went to see my dad and told him about it, at first he was not happy cos he was sceptical about the conversion and scared if he would go back to his old religion. My dad finally accepted and we did an introduction on 4th June and wedding preparations started, we were supposed to get married in October but he lost his mum so we shifted the date and Alhamdulillah it came to pass.”
Ossai posted images from their wedding on November 17, 2022, as he called May the love of his life.
The Nigerian man said, “Congratulations to my lovely wife and I. She’s the bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. The absolute Love of my life.”
