Mama Peace`s vocabulary really made her the most popular first lady on the continent.


You cant just take it away from her!

She was popular!

Nigeria has had 14 first ladies since 1963. Which of these women is/was the most popular at her prime?

1. Flora Azikiwe - 1963-1966

2. Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi - 1966

3. Victoria Gowon - 1966-1975

4. Ajoke Mohammed - 1975-1976

5. Oluremi Obasanjo - 1976-1979

6. Safinatu Buhari - 1983-1985

7. Maryam Babangida - 1985-1993

8. Margaret Shonekan - 1993

9. Maryam Abacha - 1993-1998

10. Fati Lami Abubakar - 1998-1999

11. Stella Obasanjo - 1999-2005 (only first lady to have died in office)

12. Turai Yaradua - 2007-2010

13. Patience Jonathan - 2010-2015

14. Aisha Buhari - 2015-present

which of these first ladies is the most popular?

For the records....
1. Flora Azikiwe's tenure could as well been from 1960 when her husband became the country's Governor & General upon our Independence - and not necessarily from 1963, when we became a Federal Republic (because her husband's appellation of "President" was merely ceremonial

2. General Yakubu Gowon was an unmarried bachelor on his becoming the Head of State in 1966. He married his wife Victoria only in 1967 - during the war.
Victoria's reign could not be from 1966

3. Mrs Olufemi Obasanjo could not have been termed as the First Lady during her husband's first outing as the Head of State between 1966 - 1979
Despite peace moves from Obas, Kabiyesi, Church Leaders, etc, it did not work out.
During this entire time, lady Permanent Secretaries, etc acted when the occasions demand for First Lady!

4. From 1 Oct 1979 - 31 Dec 1983 when Alh Shehu Shagari was the President, none of his wives was known nor ever presented as First Lady

Thank you

Its between Mariam Babangida and Stella Obasanjo. Both were top notch classy women.

Patience on the other hand na agbero. She was uncouth and unladylike. That made her popular for all the wrong reasons.

Mama peace was notorious, not popular.

If she isn't throwing grammatical bombs and bullets today, she will be busy bullying one governor or the other, or probably calling some group of people "born throway" undecided

She was such a huge comic relief and was instrumental to the electoral loss of her husband grin
