Once had security operatives beat up her husband's mistress, a TV Presenter.

Was a member of Bongos Ikwue's Band when IBB met her in Kaduna as Ndidi Okogwu.

She is rumored to have had a son for Bongos Ikwue who died mysteriously in maturity after having being an embarrassment to her in the Presidential years.

Had a running battle with Maryam Abacha over seniority. She was First Lady, Maryam was wife of Chief of Army Staff(COAS) and was supposed to head the NAOWA (Nigeria Army Officers Wives Association. She made life miserable for Maryam Abacha during her tenure, refusing to cede the leadership of NAOWA to her and marginalizing her.

Better Life For Rural Women was a project that grew out of the �M' Team (Meaning Maryam Team). A Collective of wives of dignitaries she put together to fashion out a role and project for her. They included Chief Mrs Eno Irukwu (recently deceased), Mrs Margaret Shonekan, Mrs Rebecca Aikhomu, Mrs Josephine Akhigbe, Mrs Alfa and Mrs Gambo

Her Book, 'Homefront', was actually written by Greg Obong-Oshotse her former Press secretary.

Maryam was neither a kind nor generous person to her staff.

Once had Three Protocol Aides (two females one male) locked up in SSS Cells indefinitely on a whim until her husband was prevailed upon to release them by their relations.

Once had a Protocol Officer harassed for having the effrontery to date her son, Ibrahim. Banned the Officer from any duties that would involve the inner sanctum of the Presidency.

And at the end she died a painful death ( cancer) after all the wealth,power and authority.. life is indeed vanity upon vanity.
