The first breath of marital conflict is the freest; after it, constraints aping marriage develop and dig their claws, like the toxic roots of a poisonous plant. This is particularly true of most silverspoon marriages. Many a rich, spoilt kid or misguided scion plunge into wedlock taking the glitz of an elaborate wedding ceremony as the essence of marriage. Eventually, they encounter the sad bitter truth that becomes the bane of all silverspoon marriages – discord and the most garish forms of separation.
Ask Bimbo Okoya. The beautiful daughter of Alhaji Rasaq Okoya watched helplessly as her marriage to Liberian-born dude, Prince Urey crashed. Ever since her marriage with Prince Urey hit an iceberg, the daughter of business mogul and owner of Eleganza Group of Companies, Alhaji Rasaq Akanni Okoya, has refused to allow any other man into her life. Having confided to her very close friends that romance and remarriage are the least of her priority at the moment, Bimbo decided to reassemble the shattered pieces of her life by immersing herself in work. After her marriage failed, it was expected that her beauty, success and pedigree would attract fresh suitors to her but it appears Bimbo is not in a hurry.
When she got married to her estranged husband, their wedding was supposed to be a model for most celebrity weddings. Alas, the marriage has crashed irretrievably. While it lasted, they had no child. Both have since gone their separate ways perhaps ruing what was and what could have been.
