A couple, Mr Moses and Mrs Hanive Teghtegh, from Benue State, who recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary
If I didn’t have children with my wife, the marriage would not have lasted this long. Children are the fruit of marriage, if they are not there, the marriage may not last long.My wife and I married before independence. We got married in 1957. The war was fierce and a lot of people died. Awolowo helped and did what he could do. There was nothing significant that I can recall, except that many people suffered. We were in a place where the fighting did not extend to.At that time, it was difficult.
Benue has recorded a lot of bloodshed in recent times. As a resident, what are your thoughts about the killings in the state?The governors, the President and other politicians have not spoken out rightly against the killings. Internally, people are being robbed, and we hear a lot of things happening in Benue. The government has not done enough to stop the killings.
I recall that life was very good in those days. We used to travel through the northern part of Nigeria. We lived like brothers and sisters. My husband’s job took us to places like Kaduna, Lokoja , Ilorin , Niger, Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa and Ogoja, where we had our first daughter, who is now deceased. Now, we have divisions; political officeholders do not treat people well. Poverty has increased and life is miserable.No, but indirectly, we have heard about people who lost their lives.
