When Mohammed Babangida Stepped out With Umma

It was Richard Bach who said:  “True love stories never have endings.”

When you read the compelling story of Mohammed Babangida and his wife, Umma, daughter of Ambassador Aminu Wali, a former Nigerian Envoy to the United States, you will understand better.

It all dates back to over 23 years ago, when both met through , their mutual friend.

At that time, Umma was a young undergraduate at Bayero University, BUK, Kano. She later travelled to the United Kingdom to further her studies.

But before she moved to the United Kingdom, the Babangida scion had expressed his desire to marry Umma. So seriously involved was he with her that he even gave her a diamond ring, as a symbol of his commitment to her.

 Unfortunately, the relationship suffered a big crash when their parents, reportedly, opposed their affair.

As a result of this unpleasant development, the handsome dude later got married to his “approved” wife, Rahama Indimi, daughter of Borno State-born oil magnate, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, in an elaborate wedding that had many top personalities in attendance.

But just as the saying by Richard Bach, Mohammed’s love for Ummah never ends; he still has his heart with her.  In 2008, he was able to convince their parents and married her.

However, the marriage seemed like a mistake at the beginning, as his first wife, Rahama, would not have any of it.

 The mother of four was forced to leave  her Minna matrimonial home for several months and moved into her father’s home in Abuja. Later, she was pacified and persuaded into moving back to her home. However, Rahama was said to have refused to accept Umma.

The rivalry between the two wives was intense and bitter.  Reason: Babangida  reportedly didn’t help matter as he pitched his tent with Rahama who showcased her superiority tendencies. This development made Umma to be very bitter and unhappy.

She couldn’t cope with the powerful forces that confronted her home, with the realisation that she failed to have a child in the marriage. 

Eventually, when she could no longer cope, she decided to move out of her matrimonial home again. But Mohammed ran back to her and brought her back home.  This, again, infuriated the daughter of the oil mogul that she finally left home.

Luckily, beautiful Umma had reason to smile again as she finally had her baby in 2017.

Today, the Kano State-born beauty is enjoying the love of her life. Last week, the woman stepped out with her husband for the birthday bash of stylish woman, Hajia Bola Shagaya.

We gathered that was the first time they would have been seen together publicly after a very long time. 

They were seen holding each other hands and smiling like young lovers that have just fallen in love for the first time.

Aisha Achimugu’s Glamorous Rendezvous With Paris

Published

on

By

Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.
Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.
Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.
The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.
For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.
Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.
In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.
And as the lights of Paris dimmed on another fashionable season, her appearance left behind the unmistakable impression of a woman who understands that fashion, at its most powerful, is as much about presence as it is about clothes.
