Yes, Olamide Akintayo has found his Eden. He has felt the cuddly curl of the heart and the passion’s soothing caress. He discovered in uncommon hours, where love’s lights and shadows lace as the wind lifts the clover. Immediately, he saw the luminous face of Mathilda, the beautiful daughter of billionaire Auto Dealer, Olutayo Ayeni, he discovered the sublime blindness of courtship and the acceptable follies of affection.
