Mr Tamba said: ‘She’s 18… It (the first time Mane saw her) was more than two years ago.’
‘I knew that Sadio and his whole family are very good and humble people. Sadio is just the reflection of his family.
‘But as a father I also had to know more about him, his education, his faith in God, humility. And I found out much more that he is a good person.
‘Sadio and I talk a lot about the projects, but we also talk about life in general and he has taught me a lot, even though he is still young. He knows a lot about life and I have learned a lot from him. That is why I did not hesitate to accept his request to marry Aisha.’

“I’m not used to having so much attention drawn to me, because we’re a very private family. We don’t like to show off and talk about our private lives. I’m a very down-to-earth person, that’s how I was raised, and there won’t be anything different just because of this marriage.”
