Two major wars have broken out in the family of 56-year-old Nigerian
government contractor and Managing Director of Kaztec Engineering Ltd., Emeka Offor, as
he prepares to perform the traditional
marriage of his new 24-year-old wife, Adaobi Ufondu, in Anambra State on
January 3, 2014. This is because his two wives and siblings are fighting
against his acquisition of third wife. Immediately his first wife, Nkiru (nee Emoke) from Imo
State, who has not left her mansion on Osborne street in Ikoyi, Lagos to
Oraifite for many years, heard about Offor’s wedding intentions, she announced that
she would celebrate the Christmas and New Year at Oraifite.
Meanwhile, Mrs Nkiru Offor’s decision to be home for
Christmas and the New Year has caused the husband to start building a house at
the back of his own castle where his new wife will live so as to minimize
contact with the first wife, for fear that any contact between them could lead
to a fracas.
Construction started on December 19, 2013, and work has been
going on round the clock in the hope that it would be ready as much as possible
by January 3, 2014, when the traditional marriage ceremony will be performed.
Second war started few days ago when Offor revealed that he
would pay the dowry of the second wife named Joy once he concludes the marriage
ceremony of the newest wife.
As if to worsen matters, Offor also announced that he would
participate fully in the 80th birthday celebration of Joy’s father, Sir Enoch
Chukwureh, holding this weekend at Ubahu, Orodo in Mbaitoli Local Government
area of Imo State.
These disclosures have infuriated Offor’s siblings who feel
betrayed because they have been in support of his third marriage as a way to
spite Joy whom they accuse of being responsible for the first wife’s
abandonment.
Both Nnamdi and Menkus, Offor’s younger siblings, were not
only present at the dowry payment for Adaora on Saturday, October 12, 2013, at
Umuezopi, Oraifite, but also served as bouncers as they collected cameras from
guests and damaged them in full public view in a desperate attempt to prevent
the public from having details of the event.
Fearing that his newest wife cannot withstand the tremendous
tension in his extended family, Offor has already informed Adaora’s father,
Chief Alexander Okey Ufondu who is a trader based in Onitsha, Anambra State,
that his daughter will return with him to his house after the ceremony, instead
of being with him (Offor) for the time being.
