IT is true that the total joy of life comes from an encounter with love; hence there is no greater joy than stimulating happiness in the life of someone else.

As you read this, Mrs. Maryam Abacha, widow of the late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, is joyful at the moment, because of the recent addition to the family.

One of her sons, Sadiq, and his popular Abuja-based fashion buff wife, Hudayah, last week welcomed a bundle of joy into their fold.

The happy couple got married in 2013 in a carnival-like wedding that shook the entire northern region to the roots.

The arrival of the little tot has no doubt brought fulfillment and more laughter to the Abacha dynasty.
