* The Things His Name Does For Her
Marriage was never popular with Mariam Kachikwu because it combined the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity. She would never be moved by such squalid lusts. Mariam truly loved her husband, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, until irreconcilable differences caused their marriage to crash irretrievably.
Despite the passage of time, Ibe Kachikwu’s name opens doors for Mariam, as the clouds part to let down rain. For the ex-wife of the Minister of State for Petroleum, her former husband’s name and character remain immune to the ravages of time.
It grows as a worthy compliment on her, improving her being rather than render passé, the enviable attributes of beauty, nobility, and greatness that distinguishes Mariam from peers.
There is no gainsaying Mariam epitomises exquisite but enduring beauty.
So fulfilled is she that she has no plans to remarry very soon. Sources close to her claim that she discovered the beat that made her heart skip in Ibe Kachikwu and since their separation, she has found it very difficult to love another man.
Mariam and Kachikwu left each other years ago but unlike her, since their separation, Kachikwu has moved on with his life.
But while high society obsesses about the sensational details of their love affair, Mariam, a senior management staff of SEPLAT has been having a blast.
Although she has aged considerably, Mariam has learnt to cope with the rigours of work and daily life. She has perfected the fine art of conversation with NNPC officials. Her amazing capacity to tolerate others makes her worthy of people’s trust and adoration.
It’s not surprising therefore, that people kowtow to her within and outside SEPLAT. Yes, Mariam is that powerful. There is no gainsaying Mariam has found purpose in her work and she would pay no worship to garish lust.
