Love can light up human life in a way that nothing else can. Love is like Thomas De Quincy described: an assuaging balm…that with its potent rhetoric steals away the purposes of wrath, and to the [old] man for one season gives back the hopes of his youth. No one knows this better than Prince Michael Tunde Ponle, the boss of MicCom Cables & Wires Ltd. After finding love with former Osun State Deputy Governor, Grace Titi Laoye-Tomori, it has been one petal of satisfaction after another petal of sweetness.
Marriage does things to people. Of that fact, there is no doubt. A good marriage, of course, does the best things. Whoever sees either Madam Titi Laoye-Tomori or her happy hubby, Prince Ponle, would acknowledge this fact. The pair are living it up, never minding that the glow of youth has long tapered off, and not even its embers remain.
Folks will recall the awe that followed the news of their wedding in 2019. Many people could not understand the kind of affection that would drive a supposed 70-year-old woman into the waiting arms of a supposed 80-year-old man. But life is full of surprises, and the love life of the now-celebrated lovebirds is a delightful addition to the shelf.
Before their current attachment to each other, Madam Titi and Prince Ponle were engaged to other people. The former Deputy Governor had reportedly been married to a professor and conceived four children for him. But the union did not work out. In the case of the MicCom boss, his wife passed away in 2012, so Madam Titi brought the light of companionship into his life seven years later.
A happy marriage, a happier companion, and enough joy and laughter to last another lifetime; what more would anyone want out of life? So it is with Prince Ponle and his bride. Even after two years, the conjugal glow is still very noticeable.
