Still on the matter. This is the second part of YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine’s series on 50 society ladies who have children for powerful, popular and influential men. Some of their names and details will shock you…
BIBIANA OHIO – Hope you still remember her? The leggy damsel was at some point our Miss Nigeria. Sweet and svelte, the ex-beauty queen who acted in Zik Zulu Okafor’s Time Bomb and speaks five languages, including French and Spanish, has a daughter for His Excellency, Christian Van Driessche, the then Ambassador of Belgium to Nigeria. Both of them had a whirlwind romance that culminated into the birth of the child sometime in 2000.
TOYIN FAGBAYI – A society lady and politician, she used to be hot on the social scene until she decided to lie low. TF has a daughter for maverick politician and ABN chieftain, Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe. At some point a regular face in Nzeribe’s suite at Lagos Airport Hotel in Ikeja, the current status of their liaison is unknown. And especially after the ex-Senator married someone else.
PERO ADENIYI – She is the daughter of Prince Jide Adeniyi of the Poatson Musical Jamboree fame. Married hitherto to one Kunle Borokini, she has two children for African Queen crooner, 2 Face Idibia. In fact, their romance was so hot then that many were waiting for them to tie the knots until the music star dumped her for his current wife, Annie.
TABITHA KWAJAFA – Tabitha is the daughter of erstwhile NDLEA boss, Mr. Fulani Kwajafa. Her sister, Comfort Nyam, who is late now, was one of those implicated in the monumental FCMB financial mess which rattled Otunba Subomi Balogun immensely. She has a son for controversial businessman, Terry Waya.
FUNKE ADEDOYIN – FA is the daughter of the Prince of Commerce, Samuel Adedoyin. From Kwara State and very close to former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, her only child is for Segun Fowora, ex-husband of Senator Gbemi Saraki. The one-time junior minister under President Olusegun Obasanjo has been very quiet lately.
ENO OLAFISOYE – Initially known as Eno Etim Udoh, this South South lady also has a child (boy) for controversial businessman, Terry Waya. Before that, however, Eno was married to Ondo born businessman and owner of the Lord’s Nightclub in Maryland, Lagos, who she also has a daughter, Omotade, for.
BUNMI BANJO – Yes, her name may not ring any bell, but she is the mother of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first son, Seyi. Educated abroad and currently being courted by many because of the huge influence his father wields in the political firmament of the South West, the guy is majorly into government contracts and business now.
OMO-OWO – She’s the widow of Alhaji Omotayo Omo-Owo, a rich businessman from Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. Three of her four children were discovered at some point to allegedly belong to our late Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige!
NIKE ADEDOYIN – Nike is a sister to Funke Adedoyin, the former minister we talked about earlier. She’s also the daughter of Doyin Group boss, Prince Samuel Adedoyin. She has a daughter for Lagos socialite and auto dealer, Tunde Onakoya, aka Tunde Debasco.
COLETTE ESABAMEN – Now late. She had a child for Nigeria’s former military ruler, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (rtd). The girl, now grown up, goes by the name of Pamela. Neglected and abandoned initially, it took the intervention of her step brother and IBB’s first son, Mohammed, for her to finally have a taste of her father’s stupendous wealth.
