The heir-apparent to the ‘’Babangida empire’’-Mohammed Babangida, who is the first son of the man everyone has come to know by many monikers- some call him Maradona, while others love to refer to him as the ‘Evil Genius’, the former Military President of Nigeria-General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, hit the big 40 a few days ago.

He was at a point a Special Advisor to Santa Isabel Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Company.

The actual birthday date was Thursday, February 2, 2012 and to celebrate hitting the very significant age-40 years old (a number that has come to symbolize a rebirth or the beginning of a new life), family members and friends threw for him a private party that had ‘just about a hundred guests’ in attendance. The venue was the very imposing mansion atop the hill in Minna i.e. General Babangida’s Hilltop Mansion in the Niger state’s capital, which many have said is a replica of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa. Some of those in attendance said it was a fantastic party. We are still waiting to receive the party pictures to bring to your viewing delight.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO THE QUIET GENTLEMAN.
