Rivers state College of Education where she was
pursuing her Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE)
and B.Ed while he was a lecturer at the department of
Biological science, First Lady Patience Jonathan said
what attracted him to her was his religious
background, and good looks..
"My first impression of him was of a tall, dark,
handsome young man. I also found that he came
from a good Christian home just like I did. His
humble and gentle disposition caught my
attention and most importantly, his intelligence".
Dame Jonathan, who married President Jonathan in
1993, said praying together and discussing everything
together has been a sustaining force in their 21 year
marriage.
"Both of us are from Christian homes and our
complete trust is in Jesus Christ. We pray together
as a family every morning. What keeps us together
is that we are each others best friends and soul-
mate. We discuss everything that comes up and
advice each other accordingly. We depend on
each other. We do not let the sun set on our
grievances" she said
The couple are blessed with 4 children, a son
Arewera Adolphus, Daughters Aruabi and Abayola
and Faith Sakwe-Edwards, their foster daughter who
had a grand wedding in April
