Millicent Omanga’s husband, Dr. Francis Nyamiobo, has shared a rare and detailed story about how he met the former nominated senator, giving the public a glimpse into their 24-year relationship. The couple’s love story began during their university days and has grown into a strong marriage that has lasted for more than two decades.
In a recent conversation, Dr. Nyamiobo was asked by Obina when he first met his wife. His answer surprised many people because he did not just give the year or month. He said he first saw Millicent Omanga on January 25, 2003, at exactly 6:15 p.m. According to him, that was the real beginning of their story.
Millicent tried to correct him by saying it was around 8 p.m., but Nyamiobo insisted that 8 p.m. was only the time they started talking. He said he had already seen her at 6:15 p.m. His very specific memory impressed some people, while others found it amusing and unusual.
Many listeners were left wondering how a man could remember such tiny details about an event that happened many years ago. The answer seemed to become clearer once they remembered that Nyamiobo is a doctor.
Some people joked that doctors are trained to remember important things very well because forgetting can be costly in their line of work.
The writer also reflected on the kind of mind doctors have, saying that someone who studied medicine must be very sharp. In the past, to study medicine, one needed very high grades, including strong marks in Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics or Physics, and English or Swahili.
That kind of academic background means a person is likely to remember things more accurately than most people.
