below:
Congratulations! How does it feel finding love?
It feels good. I give God all the glory. I also thank God for His unspeakable gift.
How did your path and his cross?
It was a divine direction. He saw what I made (clothes) for someone
and asked who made it. So, the guy gave him my number, that was it.
What was the attraction?
His love for God.
What do you cherish most about him?
He is very humble and the Bible says, humble yourself and God will lift you up.
How long have you been dating?
For a while now. We met in 2011, though on business basis. We became friends and here we are now.
How did he propose to you?
He proposed in a lovely city, somewhere very cosy and romantic in Edo
State. In the middle of our chit chat, he just said he had a gift for
me. He went to his luggage, brought out a gorgeous silver studded ring
and asked me if I would marry him. He went on his knee to propose. I
looked straight into his eyes and I said yes.
Since he is based in Abuja, what will happen to Tesslo Concept, are you relocating the business to Abuja as well?
Tesslo Concept will still be running. We will establish more branches. Sure, Abuja automatically becomes our base.
How many children are you looking at?
We leave that to God Almighty.

‘The attraction was more spiritual than physical’ – OHIMAI
Congratulations! How does it feel finding love?
Love is a beautiful thing. Without love, man is dark, hollow and
empty. Finding love is finding happiness and completeness. Since I
found Tessy, I stepped into a new realm of happiness and completeness.
How did you meet her?
I met Tessy in 2011 in the course of an official assignment while I
was Special Assistant on Advocacy to the Minister of Youth Development,
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, who is now the Minister of Sports. It happened
when I asked my good friend, Tobi Sanni Daniel, business manager to Ice
Prince to introduce me to whoever makes his clothes because he has this
uniquely stylish dress sense that always stands him out. So, the
introduction was done, Tessy came to take my measurement at Sheraton
Hotel, Lagos, venue of the launching of You Win Business Plan
competition for South West zone. That was where the spark was ignited
and today, the rest is history.
What was the attraction?
I believe the attraction was more spiritual than physical. There was
something irresistible about us that just clicked beyond our natural
senses. There was no argument, no stress and no issues despite the
challenge of distance because she is based in Lagos and I am in Abuja.
Since we met, there has been this feeling of peace, happiness and rest
that I enjoy. The type I believe you find only in a woman that is God
fearing, loving, hard working, resourceful and dependable. Clearly,
Tessy is the woman designed for me and me alone and I am happy I was
wise enough to realize that early.
What do you cherish most about her?
What I cherish most about Tessy is her love for the things of God.
When you have a wife who loves and fears God, you can go to sleep
knowing that your home is in safe hands.
Tell us about yourself.
