Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80452, member: 636"] So a Nigerian politician just married a royal ex-wife while the country burns. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, is the guy, and his new wife is Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh. She was previously married to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. The announcement came from a family member, Abraham Double-d Dajoh, through a Facebook post where the Dajoh family welcomed her to their clan and to Benue State. This personal news is happening against a national backdrop of severe security issues involving terrorist and bandit violence. The family's social media message expressed happiness about the union. They framed it as welcoming her to the political leader's home region, calling Benue the Food Basket of the Nation and referencing Mbakor as a center for Tiv leadership. They asked for supporters to back Akume in this new chapter. The bride's past marriage to the Ooni of Ife began with a traditional ceremony in Benin City and a reception in Ife, but ended after roughly a year and a half. This marriage occurs during a period of intense national crisis. Security forces are contending with widespread attacks from armed groups targeting civilians. In a related international response, a former U.S. president once authorized military action against terrorist locations in Nigeria's north-west. Separately, an explosion in Kwara State caused alarm among local residents, highlighting the pervasive climate of fear. The personal celebration for a high-ranking official stands in sharp contrast to these ongoing national emergencies. [/QUOTE]
