Sometimes, fate leads man through defeat and humiliation to a better future and a brighter day. But more often than not, its leads the fraught mortal to everlasting and full disgrace. And no one perhaps understands this bitter reality better than the amiable son of General Ibrahim Babangida. Yes, the heir apparent to the Babangida dynasty has tasted the flipside of marriage.
All through last week, the acerbic news was about the whereabouts of the two children left in the custody of his ex-wife Rahama Indimi after their marriage hit the rocks. Mohammed was said to have obtained a judgment from a Sharia court giving him custody of the children only for Rahama to file an objection at an Abuja court. It’s very hard to fathom that a bowel that spews the deepest desires, often also emit the deadliest hate. The rabble of medieval English county families baying for broken glass pales in comparison with the rancour currently tearing at the heart of Mohammed.
Since his marriage with Rahma hit the rocks, he has known no peace. Having suffered the action and counteraction that projects the reciprocal struggle of discordant feelings in wedlock, Mohammed was devastated to see his marriage crash to the disharmony that resulted from his protracted marital blues with Rahma, the daughter of billionaire businessman, Mohammed Indimi. Although the sordid details of their relationship was an open secret in high society circles, Mohammed, his family and friends tried to keep the news as a closely guarded secret.
