The marriage of polo-loving gentleman and scion of the Ibrahim
Babangida dynasty, Mohammed, to his first love Umma has crashed. Umma
is the lovely daughter of Amb. Aminu Wali, Nigeria’s Ambassador to
China. Though Mohammed and his friends are keeping the news close to
their chests, it is already a common topic of discourse in high society
circles.
We gathered that Mohammed is especially sad and shocked about how
things degenerated to the point of separation between them. But he is
taking solace in the fact that nothing happens without the imprimatur of
the Almighty. What is said to be causing the easy-going son of
Nigeria’s former military president sleepless nights and sour days is
the fact that Umma was the first woman he ever fell in love with.
Though he would later get married to Rahama Indumi, daughter of
billionaire businessman Mohammed Indumi, he didn’t stop thinking of Umma
and what life would be like as her husband. Four years into his
marriage to Rahama, Mohammed had announced to the world his decision to
take a second wife.
And trust the Babangidas whose wealth and vast
contacts have earned them a prime place among the world’s aristocrats;
they stopped at nothing to make the marriage a grand affair. Mohammed is
not just any son; he is the heir apparent to the Babangida dynasty.
With Ivy League education, impressive strides in the corporate world,
and an eye on the governorship seat of their native Niger State, his
parents knew if he decided on a second wife, then, that was what he
wanted. They gave him all their support. Alas, today, that marriage has
crashed. Mohammed is now back into the arms of Rahama, while Umma is
bracing up for life after Mohammed.
