According to reports, 34-year-old Mustafa Aderonke, a resident of Epe, Lagos State, has opened up about the difficulties she faced when her mother tried to compel her to marry….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
After Aderonke completed high school and WAEC, she said on the Talk-To-B Podcast, a married man and his six kids began visiting them. Aderonke had already accomplished both of these things when this happened. She rejected him as a possible companion because he was previously married and had a big family.
