Eedris Abdulkareem, Nigerian musician of the Nigeria Jaga-Jaga fame, has lauded his wife, Yetunde, for donating her kidney to him when he was diagnosed with kidney failure.
The singer made this known in a heartwarming social media post celebrating his wife as they marked their 18th wedding anniversary, in which he acknowledged that she was the reason he now has a second chance to live.
The rapper said that he would be eternally grateful to her for providing him the opportunity to live a normal life.
“Yetunde Sekinat Abdulkareem, when my life is saved due to your precious gift, there is no word to express my gratitude. Please know I will always cherish the gift and be grateful forever.
“I will never be able to tell you all the feelings that I have for you, but I want you to know how grateful I am for the chance you have given me to continue living a normal, productive life.
“Words can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to you. I have grown to appreciate life and I do not take it for granted,” Abdulkareem said.
He further said that God had been the foundation of their marriage for the past 18 years as he and his wife had experienced victories, setbacks, joy, and sadness together.
“Lord, we praise your holy name for watching over us for the past 18 years we have been married.
“In that time, we have shared each other’s happiness, celebrations, triumphs, accomplishments, losses, sorrows, and laughter.
“Your grace has led us through every challenge that life has brought, and we can never forget how your unending love has been the cornerstone of our marriage.
“Today, we look forward to many more years of love and happiness. We pray for blessings such that even the generations that come after us will testify that you indeed blessed our marriage.
“Amen! Happy Wedding Anniversary my love,” the singer added.
