SENAMI SOSU-IBORI WHEN LOYALTY IS MORE THAN GOLDEN!

Chief James Onanefe Ibori & Sename Sosu-Ibori
Can it be described as a typical story or case of from obscurity to prominence? Or better still from grass to grace? However one wants to read it, the erstwhile mistress of former Governor of Delta State and ex-felon Chief Onanefe James Ibori, in the person of Sename Sosu has come a long way and for her extreme loyalty above all, in the face of everything else, she's now the one smiling daily and occupying the position of the better half, of the supremely rich and highly celebrated Oghara Chieftain.

Forget that outlook which makes it look like, Chief James Ibori is still trying to get to grips with things after his long absence due to incarceration. For those who might not know or believe it, even while he was in jail in far away London, he was still wielding absolute power in the runnings and the affairs of the state he once governed, even as we speak.

All the while that he was embattled and was facing many obstacles and battles which tried his resilience to the outermost, which saw to it that many of those who had seemingly pretended to be loyal to him before, dropped him like bad habit, thinking he was done for, some despite all the insults, mud etc stayed put and one of those extreme loyalists was Sename, who prior to the misfortune that came James Ibori's way was just a "favoured mistress".

So the time of trial came, and the man of the house, from his high padestal, who was at a point one of the major kingmakers in the affairs of the country, was brought down to the lowest of the low, to a point where he became a runaway fugitive who was captured in another country Dubai, UAE and as a criminal shipped to another country London, UK to be tried and subsequently jailed.

All through this dark times, while everyone else ran, it was only this mistress that stayed, waiting, till her hero and knight with a tainted armour should come back to her! 

"Loyalty is Action without question", at least that's according to the very famous "Camila Mendoza" in the Series- "Queen of the South" that very popular series on TV. And like she said it, one person that has proven her loyalty via her actions is none other than the now new wife of the ex-convict and former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, in the person of Sename.

The powerhouse of Oghara, whose political sagacity is still Immensely measured in Delta State politics is one person that doesn't forget loyalty to him, especially that type well proven by actions. While many of his ladies who he was there for then, when all was great and rosy abandoned him in his time of great need, when he was incarcerated and things looked very bleak, like there was no light at the end of the tunnel, one angel stood by him despite it all and saw that time as a only a little blip. She kept the homestead okay and well till he came back many years later.

After all of that experience, Chief James Ibori who has since returned back to the warm embrace of his people and the woman who kept it together all through the stress, has rewarded that extreme loyalty so it seems by making her his wife, his jewel of inestimable value.

We do not know particularly whem the rites were performed or if they have been performed at all, all we know for now is that Sename Sosu is now referred to as Mrs. James Onanefe Ibori. "Love it seems as conquered all, after all".

Kudos again to Cupid!

FRIENDS, FAMILY MEMBERS, ASSOCIATES ET ALL CELEBRATES JAMES ONANEFE IBORI'S BIRTHDAY IN ABSENTIA WITH POMP!


BIRTHDAY BOY
IBORI'S DAUGHTERS

 
BIRTHDAY CAKE

The incarcerated former Governor of Delta State, in the person of Chief James O. Ibori, whose cousin is the present Governor of the oil rich state and most probably the richest state in Nigeria, is still very relevant in the scheme of things in Nigeria, especially in his state-Delta.


Though the former Governor is still a guest of Her Majesty the Queen of England, in one of her jails for sundry criminal offenses, his birthday a few days ago August 4, 2013 to be precise was celebrated in his home town Oghara, Delta State by his friends,family members,admirers and associates & many others with plenty of pomp.

It was a large gathering of many very important personalities and their followers from the Delta region, who all came out in large numbers, to show solidarity with and celebrate a man who has meant so much to them either in jail or outside of it. It was also a way to show how still very relevant the former Governor is.

Chief James O. Ibori, the very influential PDP Stalwart before he ran away from the country to Dubai from where he was extradited to the UK to face the court for running afoul of the law and was subsequently jailed, was a very influential power-broker in Nigeria (the well renowned CNN DESCRIBED HIM AS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL POLITICIANS in Nigeria in recent times), who was well celebrated with many titles while he was in ruling in Delta State; he would adding a new title to his many other titles- that of an ex-convict, by the time he comes out of jail in some months time.

If this birthday celebration is a pointer to what we should expect when he would be released, then we must expect a mother of all party, to celebrate the 'warrior who has gone to the battle field and conquered, winning a gloriously great victory.

The 3 days birthday celebration train began with a thanksgiving service at the First Baptist Church, Ogharefe, where the Pastor of the Church- Pastor Godswill charged those who attended to emulate the former Governor!

Hear the ' Man of God' What is that aspect of Ibori's personality that could attract such a mammoth crowd, which filled the church and overflowed outside, he had asked before answering his own question thus: ''It is a given that Ibori is a huge success. You have come to Oghara today because Ibori is  a man who after climbing high in the social, political and economic ladders of Nigeria, did not seize and throw away the ladders in the way that most Nigerian big men usually do; he made the ladders available for others to climb up too.

The 3 days birthday celebration of 'his grace', Chief James Onanefe Ibori, who clocked 55 years at the weekend- being born on August 4, 1958, would end today, Tuesday, August 6, 2013 with a topflight novelty football match in his honour set for the Ogbara Township Stadium.

All hail the birthday boy. Long may you live!!! You are a Lion par excellence!
