In an interview with Channels TV yesterday, First Lady of Lagos state, 
Dame Abimbola Fashola opened up on how she and governor Fashola have 
been able to manage their home despite their religious differences. 
She's Catholic. He's a Muslim. She said;
"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, 
that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since 
then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. 
There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house
 where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my 
rosary and everything and  everyone is minding their own business. When 
its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus 
Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all 
that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them
 to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him.
Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she 
wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would
 not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become 
important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be 
documented and passed to her husband because  that is how he says he can
 manage the homefront and the state effectively.
