For Rahma, daughter of billionaire businessman, Mohammed Indimi, her divorce from Mohammed Babangida, the first son of former Nigerian military Head Of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.) has not only deleted her name from the Minna’s most powerful family records but cost her two kids which she can never have access to.
Recall that the 14-year-old marriage crumbled like a pack of badly stacked cards and it led to a battle for the custody of their four children.
The judgment afterwards allowed two kids to remain with her and the other two with her ex-husband, Mohammed.
If Rahmayi was pained, she always reveals this whenever the two kids who aren’t with her are having their birthdays.
Such occasion arose recently and the pretty daughter of Mohammed Indimi put up this post on her Instagram page:
War? Is the dark-skinned beauty fighting the Babangida family? Why has she been denied access to these kids despite being their mum?
A source close to the Babangida disclosed that Rahmayi would never visit her kids with Mohammed because she“messed the whole arrangement up, leading to the total breakdown of the marriage that produced four loving children.”
According to sources, Indimi’s daughter knew why she would not be welcomed by her ex’s family. They were surprised that Rahmayi could not visit the baby at home “if indeed she didn’t have anything to hide and if she has good records with her ex-in-laws.”
A follower, in the comment section, had written, “Happy birthday to the cute little girl. She surely looks like you.But Rahama, have you ever explored the possibility of seeing her rather than this social media stuff? I remember you went through this online last year. These kids were borne out of love, why the fight in the first instance. Custody fight have always been anything but palatable to kids. As someone who knows about that home, you walked away from it and you were not sent packing. The doors to your kids are wide open to you and you know what to do to have unfettered access to them. Again, as I said last year, coming online to show emotions may not help in the long run, neither would it help your child. We feel for you but, you also need to do the right thing You have two kids with you who have not seen their father for two years. The pains and feelings are likely to be mutual.”
Just as she posted her daughter’s birthday and whipped up much sentiments, Rahma also posted her step sister, Hauwa’s pre-wedding photos and advised her on how to keep her marriage intact.
Rahmayi wrote: “My dearest baby sis, when you sent me these lovely pictures I wasn’t sure to post it immediately or wait til the last minute (as I didn’t want to jinx it) I wish you all the best and happiness you can get out of your union. You have always been a good and quite young lady. Always listening to advise and making use of it. Well my advice for you is never go to bed angry, communication is key and he is always right obey and respect your husband. Do not tell anyone your issues. Be the best person that I know you to be. Always here for you I love you to the moon and back. May Allah bless your union. Ameen yarabb.”
Not a few wondered why Rahmayi did not observe all these virtues, while she was still married to Mohammed Babangida, who they said did all he could to save the marriage. Many northern blogs who reposted Rahmayi’s ‘marriage counselling’ had many comments on their blogs.
Not a few who came across the message, wondered when Rahmayi became a marriage counsellor overnight.
It is pertinent to add that all efforts made by the Babangidas to salvage the marriage, which produced four children, failed woefully as Rahmayi reportedly insisted on going her separate way. She was alleged to have packed out of her matrimonial home even, when her husband and her in-laws were making effort to settle the marital rift between her and her estranged husband.
