Money is not everything. Sometimes, if not all the time, you need more than that to make your marriage work. In this our new series, we shall be serving you stories of children of the rich and famous whose marriages failed in spite of all the money and comfort at their disposal – and also the reasons adduced by either them or those close to them…
TOMBRA & STELLA ALAMIEYESEIGHA – Tombra, son of humiliated former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha and his estranged wife, Stella fell out after just 7 months. The union contracted amidst pomp and ceremony failed when the bride was allegedly caught in a hotel in Abuja with another man! They’ve since gone their separate ways, but many still talk about the unsuccessful marriage with both disdain and distrust.
AVEN & ONOSODE AKENZUA – Aven is a Benin Prince and from the popular Akenzua family while Onosode is the daughter of Esama of Benin Kingdom, Sir Gabriel Igbinedion. The city of Benin was practically shut down for their wedding on December 31, 2008. Unfortunately, it couldn’t stand the test of time as it collapsed on January 5, 2010. The only good thing though was that it produced a child, Alexander. Who is with the mother, Onosode, who just won a House of Reps. ticket to represent her people in Abuja. Allegations of battery trailed the failure of the marriage then.
