68 year old former two-term PDP governor of Kogi State, Ibrahim Idris, on Friday April 6th, married his 13th wife; a 27 year old woman named Ramotu from Okene who lived in Abuja and was hawking senegalese cloths at the Presidential villa prior to meeting her husband.

Juju girl meet money miss road,atleast she wud have a slice of d tax payers money stolen by hubby
Linda, you have pulled the trigger for comments. Some mothers do really have themoooooooooooooooooo
What's insane about two adults who are in love getting married? Would you rather he kept her as a mistress? Pls get a life!
I puke at this!
the girl 27, if she no marry, you go talk say biological clock dey tick. ooooo, so she marries person she see, you still dey talk abi. I don't think any lady will want to settle for this, but when family and friends start to put people under pressure, girls take decisions that may not be the best. Like someone saying on ladun's blog that regardless of any success you have, you are a failure if you do not marry. Please leave the girl alone.
people too dey talk
INCREDIBLE!!!
I once lived somewhere in KOGI STATE (Here).
Then, I learnt that some people in certain area of the State believe the wealth of a man and strength depends on the number of wives he marries
Who knows the Gov may still be counting...
the ladies strategy worked for her as per hawking close to d presidential villa she found herself a hubby *winks* congratsooooo lol
Really dnt c anything wrong with dis. Atleast he is responsible and man enough to marry an ordinary cloth seller instead of just taking advantage of her - smthing we no many men will do.
Also, d girl has now transformed and lifted her family from poverty.
I wish dem d best of luck
Congrats!
If a young guys marry someone older people will saying he is looking for something tell me what this girl wants from her grandfather he has children older than her anyways it all abt d money if he can buy her a house and a car i guess she will marry him goodluck
Congrat 2 d lady, no more hawking @ d villa..... Jst take care of d ex governor.. Ok?
Little wonder the state is still where it is today; to have been led by such a one. What is the man still looking for in wife 13th- trouble and more trouble.
gosh i cant stop laughing
na so d husband scarce for her side....mshewwww
Wondering If itz d guy dat iz disgusting or d chick! Hiannnnnn!
WONDERS SHALL NEVER CEASE
See what our society is turning into.. More grease to ur elbow.. Continue d countdown to wife no 20, na ur power...
pretty gal.... congrats!
As long as she's not underage, and she gave full consent to the grand papa! I hope she finds what she is looking for!
Useless man. I am from Kogi state and openly attest to the fact that this man wasted nine years of Kogi's progress and resources. He should be cooling off in Kirikiri for his stolen billions and not marrying a girl the same age as his grandchild. I don't blame him o, I blame the total degradation of the country and the inability of the EFCC to prosecute financial crimes to logical conclusions...thank u jare Linda!
Y d hell iz a 68yrz old man gettin married 2 wife number 13 huh??? Nd d babe sef, serzli! Datz her father *if not grandfather'z* age!
the love of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I can say is the gal is local, who wears a long gold necklace and a long local bead together, apart from that she must feel she is to Ibrahim wat Shade is to Okoya.. LOL
desperado wife.guys Una de see ba.our papa dem de collect our own again.hmmmm
He goat''oke mkpi''
money talk, bullshit works!
Is that supposed to be her mother in the pic? She is the biggest fool for allowing her dota into d den of this he/goat monster!!! Oloshi ojikokoro..tchewwwwwww
After d grandpa don leave office nai she kno say she go com marry am? Well xcept dy were dating while he ws still in office then dts ok.well i believe d gal aim na just to eat em money since d young chewing gum naija guys no get anytin to show all dem sabi na straffing. Gal am fully in support of u

After d grandpa don leave office nai she kno say she go com marry am? Well xcept dy were dating while he ws still in office then dts ok.well i believe d gal aim na just to eat em money since d young chewing gum naija guys no get anytin to show all dem sabi na straffing. Gal am fully in support of u
Well, i can't help it but wish them a happy union. What i am praying against is that the young lady should not start looking for young guys to satisfy her except the ex gov uses drugs for enhancement. Also the man will still take wife no 14 and so on. Besides children fathered by men of such old age have tendencies of having one abnormality or the other. Abi is she trying to be like Bianca?
Sometimes one cannot help but wonder if these things are ordinary. The bride looks educated and inteligent, if it is money she wants, how much money and peace can a woman get from a marriage with other 12 wives?
#odikwaegwu.
This is how HIV spreads #gettested
nsogbu uwa ehika - wahala too much... wife number 13 this is incredible. but what exactly is d man looking for? may be he is waiting to born a gorilla as a child den he will stop. according to some mythical jokes -they say wen person born too much e go born monkey, dog, gorilla and other assorted species...lol
in btw congrats to them e no easy
I luv d girl gut jooor if i hav such opportunity,gosh!! i will grab it with both hands n legs after all nobody like suffer.as d sayin gos,PROVERTY is a SIN. The aspect of her hawking has being defeated atleast she now has a life shE has ben dreaming of living since young guys, they know nothin. I believe she had a Bfrnd, n she must hv been beggin him fr money to rent a shop or change her business but forwere, instead d guy go they straff her forgeting hes adding shape to her ass for d ex-gov to admire. Na babe like this i they like.
Some people are just insane..forget the age for a mo..what is a man looking for that he hasn't already seen in wife 2-12...pure insanity..ill gotten wealth makes you do crazy things..bet Kogi State is well impoverished!!...this are the people Tuface look at and say maybe I'm not that bad...
this is no different from 9ja dudes marrying those old Oyinbo women..for papers..and a supposedly "better life"
In this case Money talk, bullshit works. Not gonna blame the grandpa, I fink it the gurl that we should talk abt. This baba is gonna die soon,why marry him dis gurl? Av you got no shame........abeg abeg I dey vex self. Av a good life idiot.......mtchewwwwwww
Na wa ooo!!! Bia linda I knw why u put her name.Only igbos will laff at her name cos its funny wen translated to our language. LWKMD oooo
Hmmm guess u r married 2 a man 50yrs older than u.. Let me go look 4 My life b4 u ask moi 2
Noooo, she should stay single and be hawking on the streets. Most of you commentators are big FOOLS! When you meet your 30yr old boyfriend who has slept with 20 girls before he met you, you will say he's better. How? He may have more STDs than this 68yr old man who gracefully marries a woman he likes/loves. When you are struggling with your 30yr old, and he takes his financial frustrations out on you and turns you into a punching bag,maybe even kills you, then you will shut up.
I'm a married woman, married for 7 years. The best advice I can give any young girl is marry a spiritually strong, financially stable man. Ignore age. Most men under 40 cannot handle marriage.
Congrats jare! Don't mind them
lol...at least he is not sleeping around behind his wife's...I mean wives back.
Ewwwww! Imagine you have to kiss that ##Puke!!!Green,sick Face***
I am from Kogi state and I can authoritatively tell u that d ex-governor had no wife as at the time he got married to dis lady. The former first lady, Haj. Zainab had been separated wit him few months before he left office. So, I Don't where u got the 13 wives from. Also, d wedding took place on Friday, 30th March, 2012 and not 6th of April. Moreover, I personally do not see anything wrong in their marriage. if she can date him, then why can't she marry him?
That background looks like a shrine sef...LWKMD
AM SUPRISED AT HOW NIGERIANS THINK. WIFE NUMBER 13? AND PEOPLE THINK ITS OK. IT IS OBVIOUS THESE MEN ARE LIVING IN THE PAST. THATS WHY NIGERIA CANNOT MOVE FORWARD. HOW DO U LOVE 13WOMEN? THIS IS WHY THEY KEEP EMBEZZLING MONEY. TO SATISFY THEIR SELFISH INTEREST. (yankee boy)
@Bamidele boring as usual.... urrrrghhh
STUPID GIRL THEY ALWAYS HOPE THEY WILL BE THE LAST AND MOST FAVORED WIFE...OR IT MUST JUST BE FOR THE MONEY AND SHE CAN CONTINUE HER RUNS ACTIVITIES!!!
GIRL YOU BETTER RAN O!
Linda publish my comments on tonye princewill oooooooo
What the heck you guys should free the girl abeg! Are you not happy that you've gotten one more girl off the hustle-or-die streets of naija. The girl was hawking so she should keep hawking for the rest of her life when God has sent someone to relieve her of the burdens? Is it not better than her falling into runz/prostitution?
Please lets chill and see the bigger picture before we judge.
27 year old girl marrying 68 year old man!!!! Whatelse can I say when her name is "Ramotu"? Oya go ahead and "rawa otu"...Ndi ara!
The lady is wise oh. And to all pple complaining, if me sef see Dehinde Fernandez, I wan marry oh. He is my dream man. I think he should be over 70.Let me tell you I am abt linda’s age. I only have one life to live and to enjoy. Those older men cherish women than the useless young guys that that doesn’t appreciate us. Giving one headache over their endless unfaithfulness and wife battering..
That is the mentality of most Nigerian Politicians. They are Muslims, that religion allows men to marry multiple wives. Even Muhammed stole his friend's wife and married her. Islam is an eye sore! The religion is backwards and any Nations with many of them will also be backwards.
@ Anonymous Apr 10, 2012 02:38 AM, that's exactly my sentiments. The young lady has strategised effectively and she is now an important woman. By this marriage her parent's and sibbling's lives will never be the same.
It's just so easy to criticize and play god over other people's lives in matters like this. But faced with the same challenege, background and education as the person we criticize, you find that some of us may take even more disastrous decisions.
However, the young girl should know that this ain't uhuru. She will have several challeneges to overcome particularly the home she's coming to. There will be oppositions to her especially from those who would see her as a gold digger.
Then also the matter of fidelity. The man is 68 and she just 27 and he has 12 other women to service. Right now she may be highest in the pecking order, but for how long? Sooner than you know it if she's not disciplined she may start cultivating an affair outside and there lies disaster in waiting. For now it's home sweet home for her and her family.
She don hammer! Considering the wealth and clout any former Governor in Nigeria wields, this lady is smart. You are looking at her family getting a share of the national cake as in employment, capital to do business, connections etc.. This is basically an economic decision period
Ana Nicole Smith married a man that was almost 100 years old... Na where she find love
But this man no go learn??? After what his now divorced former first lady take e eye see?? The woman chop e money dump am after e lose election even take am go court for America wan collect house for Yankee join.
Main while the the Aisha lady was runs girl number 1, she was Abacha and Diya's girlfriend. The girl (now old woman) no be even from the North quickly she convert to Islam change name to Hausa name.
This Baba never even recover from wetin the woman do am e don enter another one?? She drag am go court for Yankee make she collect house and make e day pay child support for the pinkin wen she born for am...
Turns out dem go do DNA for there pikin no be Baba own sef!!!
Toriii!!!
Linda pls clarify is it 13th or 3rd wife???
Linda,these infos are quite misleading,I know this gal and her name is vicky,except she was re-christened after the wedding.she isn't up to 27also,bout 22-24 at most. And whoever told you she hawked at the villa, she was very comfortable and owned houses in Maitama and gwarinpa and other luxuries courtesy of a present governor she dated by now.
o ga ooo
The girl is doing this to help her family. Marrying an old man with money beats hawking clothing under the hot sun, can anyone blame her when her parents are probably finding it hard to educate her siblings, pay rent and provide for basic needs? I don't agree but I understand. I hope the other 12 wives and their children and grandchildren treat her well after all they are all in the same miserable boat.
This man is disgusting! If you can't find what you need in one woman then you will never be satisfied. To him women were created to be used like car, ride it until it shows age then it's replaced with a brand new one. May God be the one to judge him.
I dont think dis lady used her right senses to marry dis man. May be she just tried to get some cool cash from him and d man now use jazz to hook her. May God help her
nigerian women and the love of money wooooow
You know exactly what the reader means. And yes it is pure insanity, would you wish that for your daughter or sister?
Or would you like that to be your father?
Do you know the amount of strife that may be going on in that household? I can only imagine. We are all meant to marry once to ONE for a reason.
And please what did the comment have to do with being a mistress, its pretty obvious that you would settle for anything and everything, and on that note I think its you who needs to GET a. LIFE!
LOL!!1 Babe abeg no finish d papa money O
:p hahaha
Abi na runs girl strategy
Senegalese cloth seller no be ordinary,d cloth dey cost oh
ONOME says.......................
If conscience is dead then there is no hope for mankind.Call a spade a spade and not a big spoon.A 27 year old cloth seller marrying a 68 year old governor as his 13th wife is in it for the money,nothing else!But anyway each to his own.People marry for several reasons,some for fame,fortune,children,abroad waka,love,respect,as a result of old age creeping on etc etc
Ramotu you are not wise o but you are crafty.A wise girl would have packaged herself properly and gotten a younger but still wealthy man to marry.As you dey sell the cloth so why u no go school?With time you would have still become rich.But then again I don't exactly have details of your life history so make I no too throw stones.Afterall Bianca was a lawyer whose father was rich yet she married a man 36years senior to her.Now she is a widow#sigh#But then again if she had married a young man,he could still have died young and she would have still been a widow.Hmmmmmm.Life!No one ever truly laughs last.Noone has a crystal ball as to how events would have been if things were different.
My big problem is how you want to cope with a man who already has 12 wives.You just mortgaged your emotional well being for financial freedom.#sigh#
Na you sabi sha.Each to his own.You have a right to live your wife the way it best suits you.
nonsense, she lives in zone 6 with her sister who pimps her out to rich men. her parents are poor, mother is a greedy deeper life woman leader in lokoja. the girl is 25(i swear to GOD).don't allow me get angry or i will finish their life history for you now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And who gave you that rule, that we are to marry ONCE and to one?? Is it universal? Must everybody believe in ur belief?? As soon as something is outside ur line of understanding, knowledge or exposure, u begin to panic and make stupid judgemental comments. TO EACH HIS OWN
Nigerian men are greedy! In fact, everyone in Nigeria is greedy. Men want to acquire everything. Women want to sit while men provide for their material needs. Foolish idiots!
I remember seeing this man last yr at the Dubai mall shopping for jewelry with a young gal. Looking closely,it just might be the same girl. It's a big shame,Nigerians now pursue superficial things,amass money for grandchildren or great-grandchildren,they might never see. Long gone r ideals such as honesty,loyalty to country,friends or self.
The trend of young women/ marrying men twice or thrice their age or young men servicing lonely older women will continue if we fail to prioritize and reevaluate who we really are.
Ibrahim Idris marrying Ramotu frm Okene as his 13rd wife only goes to show the decay I'm talking about.
Hmmmm! Wonderful
This babe don hammer for life so why all the beef?
Istly these older men are easier to handle bedwise and otherwise, very generous, caring and sure is tender at heart unlike the younger men that will batter u, cheat on u,cause u severall headaches.
And who told u guys that she don't have a good vibrator and a young dude to service her engine regularly.
This Idris man will soon die off,am sure he has amended his will as well as set her up real good.
These old men appreciate the young blood that took care of them in their old age,more like a nurse to them
Ramato biko go ahead with the ira of the out,nothing do u.
why is linda talking about this...this is the muslim tradition........if i was not a christian i would have wanted to marry more than one wife too....
Linda the man is not 68 years old
@ Onome, have always liked your submissions. You try as much as you can to present a balanced side to things and that is commendable.
I would therefore suggest that it will be good to atimes go beyond Linda's posts and run through some people's reactions before commenting.
I have found here that when Linda posts a particular story a good number of us just run with the emotions and sentiments of Linda's own conviction of that story and thus comment.
Some others bring in a different tangent to it and when they are personal stories you find there are people whose comments indicate that they know the subjects in question.
So I think it's proper to go through people's comments for these can help throw more perspectives for a balanced comment.
#Ushittingme# why would i agree to be a man's not even 2nd, 3rd or 4th but 13th wife?????
#gaddamit# shameless!
Most of you talking, your mother, grandmother or great- grandmother did the same thing.
Aint nothing new under the sun.
Anon 6:15am, I shook w anger when I read ur comment, but then I calmd myself cos I realised u're talkn out of ignorance which is somefin dat wouldn't have happend if u're a muslim. Reason being dat Islam teaches us 2 seek knowledge even as far as China. 4 ur info, Islam means peace n bcos some evil muslims engage in bad deeds doesn't mean they're follown d dictates of Islam. The holy prophet(pbuh) remarried 2yrs after his 1st wife who BTW was 15yrs older dan him died becos he was instructed by God(he was a living example n if he hadn't remarried, muslims who lose husbands/wife wld remain single). Neva in d history of Islam did I read of him snatchn his friend's wife. N even many out of his 8 wives were widows n slaves he took in 2 give his name, protection n security one of whom was an 80 year old woman. May d peace n blessings of God be with u.
This old man still looks good at 68. He has a lot of spunk,and he is getting some young pussy. So why all the beef. Most people poking their snouts here are frustrated young men or spinsters who are stll waiting on lady luck. You may still get yours, but let the dude enjoy something he has paid for. Pussy is not compalaining, so what's your stres?
who would you marry and you just have to choose one. TuFace or This ex governor Idris. Choose one
Chaiii.......u get corrupt mind ooo, how did u notice that ? But na true talk.
dont yab this girl. i have a friend who married a regular young guy. imagine, the guy no too dey, but comfortable enough to put her in his food flat. and she is DESPERATELY looking for aristo. I swear, it is true. Many young girls nowadays looking for big rich men.
You people are all foolish and gullible. My people say if its sounds to good to be true den it must be. This is AlH. Idris's 3rd and only current wife. The other 2 are divorced from him. Linda dem hav just shown us dat dey r common gossips n nutin more. Wat is wrong if a single man marries in his old age.
i dont care about the age, what's with the fried rice tho? i'm lost
If urs is bad or almost crashing doesn't mean dat all others re like dat Ɣ☺ΰ can move out before linda posts ur story of another woman killed by her hubby.the ex gov A nd D̶̲̥̅̊ girl re both insane Ђåvε̲̣̣̣̥ Ɣ☺ΰ nt seen girls who date big shots like dis A nd still marry their dream men it,from D̶̲̥̅̊ girl's name Ɣ☺ΰ ll knw she's dull olodo let's see how it ll go
Bamidele the marketer! You just dey push this ur blog by all means. I clicked on it sha and it wasn't that bad
I dont've any problem with the lady. If that's the route she has to take to better her life and that of her family so be it. Remember the money the man is spendin is our commonwealth. At least she did her own runs in a respectable way.
It's that agbaya that's my problem. What in the world do you need 13wives for? And an educated man for that matter
@Anony 6:17am stop saying what u don't know about other peeps religion and shot ur trap......BIG fool, what d Koran said is dat u can marry more than one wife if u can satisfy dem equally,show dem love equally,what ever u want to do for them or give dem must be equal.....is dat possible (NO)but we human being will capitalise on dat,dat d koran said we can marry more than one wife.what it means is indirectly telling you (NO) no body Holy pass eee !!!
Educated M̲̣̣̣̥Ɣ ten toes!! He is just a carpenter that bought certificate from university of abuja. Got into politics in his fetish ways and milked M̲̣̣̣̥Ɣ dear kogi state dry for 8yrs. Now his jazzman has told him to re-juvenate his age wit a young fresh gal. And d stupid hungry poverty stricken gal nd her family fell into his trap. Gbam!! Ojikokoro on both sides. Tufiakwa
odikwa egwu ihe ego na eme in this world
@ Anon 6.17am, in response to ur comment which is highly offensive,our religion of Islam allows 4 a man to marry up to 4 wives only! n not more dan dat,b4 u go about making comment about something,even d english man says do not judge a book by its cover! As for our beloved Prophet peace b on him, all women but one he married after his 1st wife were either slaves or widows whom he took under him to giv his name and protection!ever heard of d word 'selfless sacrifice'?! i dont tink i have eva come acroos any muslim dat openly insults Jesus peace b on him too. and as 4 d new bride n groom,congrats if it all falls within d confines of an islamic marriage!
Did you say wife number 13?and she said yes?Am shocked.
The backward Nigerian mentality.
A man's wealth is defined by the number of women he has. Polygamy destroy families. Jealousy, envy, wickedness, selfishness, and diseases come with the territory.
Conflicting info here. Most people have insider information about some people whose stories appear hear so I read the comments to know what to believe. How true is it that he married 13 wives? was surprised to see so, Kogites please tell us the truth cos no be everything I see on this LIB that I dey believe hook line and sinker. If she married him that is her choice so let her enjoy the good and the bad that comes from it alone. Its better than to be a toy for all those Abuja connection men with danshiki.
as far as i am concerned this muslim rule of number of wives should be reviewed cos its now like an excuse to cover up some mens wickedness, selfishness and to the woman , sorry girl i hope she knows wat she is doing , and hope shes not in for the money
at this age and stage is this waht he needs now , wife no 13
this is what you call a gold digger ole oloju kokoro another sade okoya in action
Is that a shrine? Did they get married in a shrine? Sure looks like one.
I can't believe what am seeing and reading, this is my not too close friend Na, her name is Vicky, and not Ramotu. Linda this story does not sound quite true to me.
Pls post my comment Linda,am just seeing this first of all he doesn't have 13wives.He has like 5wives and he is separated from two and d babe never hawked ohh,we went to uni together she was a big gal and she was dating Adams Oshimole.She is being avoiding ple dat wants to see her anyways I wish her well.
