…How he married Senami Sosu before his incarceration
If she were a cassowary on the plains of Timbuktu, Senami Sosu would flex her wattles like she is the last of the Casuarius breed in the world. Senami is happily married to James Ibori.
We reported it last week that Senami is now called Mrs Ibori. We can authoritatively report that Ibori married her shortly before he was arrested and later sent to prison.
It was a great ceremony that attracted close friends of Ibori in the socio-political milieu.
Only a few women ever get over their first husbands, and a few men, their first wives. Many ‘move on’ only to pine eternally over soul mates they carelessly let go. But a few smart men simply choose not to sulk, hence Ibori’s choice to remarry for a second time.
Interestingly, his case is like that of a Roman, divorced from his wife and being blamed by his friends, who demanded “was she not chaste, was she not fair, was she not fruitful,” held out his shoe and asked them whether it was not new and well made, “and yet, ‘none of you can tell where it pinches me”.
You couldn’t have forgotten so soon that Ibori staged a classy 50th birthday for Senami’s mother before his incarceration. It was an expensive party. Ibori has really helped Senami and her family. No doubt, the population of Nigeria will increase as soon as Ibori returns. They will start raising their own kids together, hopefully.
