”She is the brightest star in my life, she is my jewel of inestimable value and I thank God for granting her good health."
The very elated First Lady made this known at a ceremony to mark her 55th birthday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Mrs Jonathan, last week arrived the country after being away in Germany for about two months.
On her arrival at the Nnamdi Azikwe Airport Abuja, some Ministers and other government official welcomed her and the First Lady denied been hospitalised in Germany.

He also thanked God for granting her good health.
The event was marked with thanksgiving prayers and presentation of gifts by family, well-wishers and friends.
Common sense is indeed not common.
