The first son of the ex- Military President, Mohammed Babaginda is in a jubilatory mood. And this is not in account of his father’s presidential ambition but the birth of a bouncing baby boy recently delivered by his first wife in the United States. And when the news of the new child broke last week, the first question on people’s lip was, are they still together? Is he still married to her? We thought Rahama moved out when Mohammed took a second wife?, amongst other questions. This is because for quite some time now, there has been different speculation in town their that marriage has been undergoing crisis ever since Mohammed married a second wife Umuani in 2008 who happened to be his longtime lover for 14 years. And it was alleged that because of that development, the dude has not having a good time with his first wife, Rahama, whom he married amidst pomp and glee many years back.
It was also alleged that Rahama packed out of their matrimonial home with her kids while Mohammed staged a multimillion wedding with Umuani. The reason for Rahama’s anger was the fact that she was pained that Mohammed was still seeing Umuani despite the promise he made when they got married many years back.
Rahama, who is said to have moved back many weeks after the wedding took place, was convinced to move back into her matrimonial home by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, whom she is said to have a lot of respect for.
An insider also hinted that Rahama was persuaded to return to her matrimonial home in other to prevent her from totally losing her hubby to his self professed first love. But ever since the marriage, Rahama has been worried that she is sharing her husband with another woman.
What has continually pained her is the fact that Mohammed had kept the union from her until few days to the wedding. When she was being persuaded by friends to wait behind for the wedding, she defied all entreaties to be on her own for a while.
Even in an interview Mohammed granted shortly after he got married to his second wife, though he denied all the allegation that his marriage was in crisis, he also acceded to the fact that there were some kind of issues and discomfort over the choice of him taking a 2nd wife coming from his first wife. And the fact that Rahama was not in full support of him taking a second wife. According to him, Rahama had always thought its something that will definitely blow away after some time but it never did. And as we all know, no woman wants to share her husband with another woman. But right now, she has come to the realization that its God’s will and there is nothing that can be done about it.
City People gathered that it took a couple of months for Rahama to come to term with the idea that her husband does have a second wife. And one of the things that kept her in the marriage at that time was Mohammed’s parent. It was gathered that in the midst of the heat, they intervened, and because she holds a strong respect for them and the fact that they have treated her like their daughter in the 6 years of her marriage, she decided to let sleeping dog lie. Moreover she had always been the perfect wife from the outset right from when she was dating her husband and couldn’t afford to let them down.
But the arrival of the new pregnancy, even before the baby was born actually made them closer and ended all the ongoing animosity between them. The recently delivered baby boy is their 4th child, as the couple already has two girls and a boy.
