KUBWA, A Town Where Every Car Owner Is A Transporter

First darkness and then light. That is the best way to savour the beauty of a town: to arrive in the thick of night and wake up the next morning to capture the scenery; like photography, where negative prints slowly turns to sharp-coloured photos, sights and sounds etch on your senses, filtered through mellowed rays of light from the rising sun. That way, the novelty lingers.

The dynamics applies to Kubwa, a satellite town located 13 kilometres from the Federal Capital City of Abuja when I found my way into the town less than an hour before midnight like a man groping his way in the dark.

My mother in-law nearly wrecked my marriage -Richest black woman, Folorunsho Alakija

After almost four decades of silence, Nigerian-born globe’s richest black woman, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija, has revealed the many pains, rejections and frustrations she had to bear with equanimity in the hands of her mother in-law, prior and after their marriage.
The stylish oil baron and fashion connoisseur, unknown to many, fought and won several battles while trying to settle down with her darling husband, Modupe, especially in the early stages of their affair.
She met a very stiff opposition in her now late mother in-law, who blatantly kicked against her walking down the aisle with her son.
Surprisingly, unperturbed and determined Alakija, who was and is still madly in love with her man, the founder of Famfa Oil, stuck to her gun and refused to let go that which meant so much to her.
Alakija, the boss of Rose of Sharon Foundation and Famfa Oil, made this chilling confession, while delivering a lecture on marriage, as the guest speaker at the 21st wedding anniversary of Bishop Isaac Idahosa, the general overseer of God’s First Ministries (Illumination Assembly). The event held on Sunday, at the Lekki Light Centre of the church along Ajah/Badore road.
Speaking to a jam-packed church, she said her mother in-law never wanted a Yoruba woman and Muslim as a daughter in-law.
