One of the most intriguing tales I’ve heard in a while, in my opinion. Gordon’s mum seems to be the protagonist of an unwritten story. Gordons went into great detail about his mother and her extraordinary life when asked how he felt about his mother just getting married during his most recent talk with the women at Wake Up Nigeria. It is definitely worth reading.
Here is what Gordons had to say about his mother, who at the age of 72 became the third wife in seven marriages.
“Last year your mum got married, how did that make you feel? How did you feel when she introduced you to her husband?”

No, there was no need because they had lived together for twenty years. So I’ve been visiting her, seeing the man there. You know, it’s just old people who fell in love at a very very old age. My mum is a vibrant lady. A woman who was very pretty in her prime. Every man wanted that woman. For your information, that was not her first husband. That was not her first husband, that was like her sixth husband. My mum is the [Elizabeth Taylor] of Nigeria. She had like six husbands before that man. So that can tell you how beautiful she was. That she’s given birth to like 8 [children] and she still could get married. So I don’t understand when young girls these days come and say “I no see man marry”, really? My mum got married at 72. I was there. It trended. And they were happy. And I know for sure. That man, my mom is the third wife. My mom is the third wife and she’s the oldest among the three. But he prefers to live with my mom. Because my mom has what we call charisma when it comes to feminism. If my mum wants to quarrel, she dresses up for the quarrel. I’m not kidding. She would go and make up and do everything, you will think she’s going out. No, na quarrel. So by the time she starts to bring all those things, the husband would just be like “cool down na”. Cuz the thing that makes men drive women from home is the fact that you’re not even appealing in the first place. So they say in our place that when you’re quarrelling with your wife and she’s going, don’t look at her backside because you might say come sit down make we talk [laughs]. But a lady has to be a lady. My mum has been a lady, she didn’t go to school but she’s been a lady. When I was growing up, I saw young men coming to toast my mom. She knows how to package herself very well.
