In a recent interview, Hafiz described how he met his wife and their marital life. He said, “I met my wife, Olaide Saidat (Oyetoro)in AOCOED and finally got married at the age of 40. My wife was a final year student when I first met her and for me, it was love at first sight. She had come to my office for something and I got her name down. Later, I spoke to her saying, beyond being her lecturer I would like to be her friend. She said okay, thinking I was unserious.
“What attracted me to Olaide was that she looked humble and appeared to be a good Muslim. She is a graduate of Mathematics and has made a great home for me and our two kids. I love her so much. My friend, Gbenga Windapo aided in assuring her that I was the man for her. God has given me a woman who shares my vision. I don’t joke with my family”.
