Hello nairalanders did babaginda really snatch Maryam from the legendary singer bongos ikwue that made him sing searching for true love or is just hoax

No solid evidence supports the rumor that Babanginda "snatched" Maryam from Bongos Ikwue, it’s probably just a spicy myth!

[quote author=SoftSport post=134295764][/quote]Nobody snatched anybody....

It's true... Google Regina Daniels to know whether u will hear about somadinna...

Marian didn't marry him, but they were dating just like it happens to every young ma growing up.. bigger guyz comes and steal ur barbie

Rumours...

That's same way one guy started coming to my usual olosho joint.

He started offering higher (100k) for TDB.
The olosho left me with the speed of light because I dey give her 10k for all night.


Meanwhile, I dey Ore like this, where can I see two big yansh olosho this night. Budgey na 7k for two oloshos

Bongos ikwue has debunked the rumour

The logistics of the January 1966 coup is as follows:

Ifeajuna led the Lagos faction that went to Tafawa Balewa’s residence…. He is Igbo

Nzeogwu led the Northern faction in Kaduna…. He is Igbo

Nwobosi led the faction that went to Ibadan and killed Aare Akintola…. He is Igbo

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ademulegun’s house and killed him and his pregnant wife. He is Igbo. 

Timothy Onwatwegu led the faction that went to Ralph Sodeinde’s house in Kaduna…. He is Igbo. 

Ezedigbo led the faction that went to Okotie- Eboh’s house…. He is Igbo

Chris Anuforo led the faction that went to Col Kur Mohammed’s house…. He is Igbo

Donatus Okafor led the faction that went to Maimalari’s house. He is Igbo. 

Lt Oguchi was sent to the East to kill Okpara…. He spared his life…. He was Igbo. 

Everyone who died in the January 1966 coup was killed by Igbos. Nobody from another tribe pulled a trigger that killed anyone in the January 1966 coup. 

To imagine that the January 1966 coup was not an Igbo agenda is an insult on the memory of the innocent victims that were brutally killed for no just cause.

Stop the Gaslighting ! THE NORTH PLANNED A COUNTER COUP IN JULY 66 AS A REVENGE AFTER THEY REALISED IT WAS AN IGBO AGENDA

THE NORTH COUP WAS WIDELY KNOWN AS “ NORTHERN COUP “ why ? Because most of the soldiers that carried out the coup were of Northern origin . We dont see them crying about it . They own it !!

Stop the victim crying already and stop disrespecting Dead because you are too weak to take responsibility for your actions ..

🪬🪬🪬

Stop wasting your time , a pussy will always follow the highest bidder, it doesn't need forcing.

They wont.

And you know why?
Their fathers that lost the war told them lots of lies on why they lost a war they couldn't have won anyway and their offspring took in all the lies
Thats why you see all this revisionism

Yes, he snatched the prostitute

Bongos was really heartbroken when he lost her to IBB, but to her people she has been a blessed daughter

Maryam brought state capital to Asaba.... And her brother , Sony Okogwu has tried several times to govern the state...... Would have been possible if Maryam was still alive.

From IBBs it's clear that's a lie

Mariam had two kids for Bongos Ikwue. She was actually married and had two Sons.

The two kids never survived because Babangida stylishly killed them via hired/ arranged assassin. Yes, he plotted their dead thru a hit and run driver. You can't blame the military man because there was no evidence against him. IBB is truly a devil's incarnate. You never can predict him.

Bongos has denied ever having an affair with Maryam. There are interviews all over the web of him saying that.

Na for everything them marginalize una?

Used to hear this story in the 90's

Lie.

Two legends in conversation

I have written a lot about one of these legends, so I'll focus more on the other legend in this post.

I woke up very early every morning between 1989 and 1993 in order to listen to the breakfast show on Radio Nigeria 1. RN 1 began transmitting at 5:30 every morning and they'd play the National Anthem, the pledge and then they'd have Christian and Islamic prayers. There'd be a brief news bulletin at 6am and then Radioscope woul begin.


Radioscope was hosted (on alternating days) by Manny Onumonu, Zakari Mohammed (Captain ZM) and Evelyn Russell. It was a very interesting show. Manny usually began his shows by playing "Everybody Plays The Fool" by Aron Neville.

It seemed like Manny vanished after 1993, but then he suddenly appeared on the BBC c1998. He hosted Network Africa, the BBC African Service's breakfast show, a few times for around month in 1998 and then he vanished again.

He has now reappeared on Channels TV and he has his own talk show on the station. Here he is, interviewing Bongos Ikuwe.


I have written about Bongos Ikuwe many times on this thread, so I don't need to write much again, except to say that he debunked the popular myth in the second video below.

There is a very weird story that Bongos Ikuwe and Mrs Maryam Babangida were in a relationship before she got married to General Ibrahim Babangida. Rumour mongers claim that his popular song, Maryama, was about Maryam Babangida.

I debunked that crazy rumour on a Nairaland thread a few years ago, but some people kept arguing with me. I provided a link to an interview of Bongos Ikuwe's daughter in which she said that her father only met Maryam Babangida once and that was many years after he wrote Maryama, but someone was still arguing with me, so I challenged him to provide proof that they were ever in a relationship and that's when he stopped arguing.

Of course Manny asked Bongos Ikuwe about the rumour. Mr Ikuwe said that he doesn't like talking about the issue, out of respect for the dead, but (when Manny pressed him) he said that he only met Maryam Babangida once. He then explained the origin of the song.

He said that a British man heard him singing on the radio and called into the station. The man said that he would have loved to be Bongos Ikuwe's promoter but he didn't have any money. However, he made an offer to Bongos Ikuwe. He said that he would cook for him every weekend and invite his British friends over and Bongos would sing for them. He told him that he would have to work very hard because his friends wouldn't want to hear the same songs every weekend, so he would need to write a lot of songs. Maryama was one of the songs that he wrote.

IT IS THE POLITICIANS AND CIAs THAT USE IT FOR FALSE FLAGS.Futhermore most of the top officier then were ibos. A junior can't carry out coup. you get access to armory?

Most Nigerian's knows it was an Igbo coup. IBB book has been condemned by almost all section of the country. Only igbos are praising the book. Not Igbo coup and military personnel from other zone were killed and his own were left out.
