Chief Edwin Chukwunenye Igbokwe,widower to the late Nigerian Lady of Songs, Christy Essien-Igbokwe has remarried.
He had his traditional wedding on Saturday April 19,2014 and the white wedding held on Monday April 21,2014 in Anambra state.
Insiders whisper that none of his children attended the wedding because they are not happy with him. .
It is whispered that his first son Kaka moved out of the house and right now they are not on talking terms.
The new Mrs Igbokwe who is in her early forties and has never been married insisted on a traditional, court and white wedding.
There are also whispers that both had been 'friends' before now and both attended Christy's memorial which the children frowned at.
Happy Married life to Chief Igbokwe and his new bride..i understand the children's pain but Daddy has to move on Dearies…
May God heal them...
*still waiting for the pictures ..Olofofo please send the pics na!
SDK - Daddy has to move on abi? Its a man's world.... Men can get married days after their wives die and no one frowns at this but Oh Lord!! Let it be the lady attempting to move on even 5 years after and she gets called names...... Why do ladies always get the short end of the stick?
ReplyDeleteA guy I know remarried barely one year after his wife died and his excuse was that "he couldnt stay". Only 1 year oh!! It means he was already courting his new wife months after his wife died..... Can society accept that kind of excuse from a lady? SMH!!
Oga Igbokwe!! enjoy your marriage!!! Na your luck!! Christy would most likely necer have remarried if you were the one who went first....
U r saying a man u know married barely one year after his wife died. My husband cousin married 3 months after his wife died of breast cancer. The whole family we no show up, even his father n brothers no go d wedding.
DeleteDrink panadol for their headache u hear. Men's biological formation doesn't allow them to stay without a woman for so long. Wuld u prefer d man sleeping with different women or carrying prostitutes? A man gat to do wat a man gat to do.
DeleteLoyalty after death dt woman do is pretentious and uncalled for. Eventually, d children u claim u want to take care of will all leave u some day n live their lives.
A young widow shld re-marry as soon as possible to erase the painful memory. But of course we have the 9ja factor, no one wants to marry u cos they probably think u av bad luck or killed the man.
Truth be told...life has to continue. Marriage is till death do u part. Therefore, women shld be wiser.
If this my yeye man die today, 2morrow I don dey search, I must live and survive, fuck him.
Delete11:22, "A man gat to do wat a man gat to do" abi? Tell God that when you meet Him.
DeleteThe children should mind their family and leave the poor father alone,marriage is to dead do them apart,if he want to remarry that is fine,the children will get used to it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the like button??? 9ce 1 @Naturelle. I rem ma uncle wey snr ma dad sef gettin married last 2yrs to 1 woman dat has reach menopause kwa. Every1 was shouting , 'Y?' she cant even giv him a child, since he had jus 1 girl frm his late wife. Nd i had to tell ma dad, marriage aint all abt procreation- companionship is also important. The wedding was so funny sha. D way dey strolled nto d reception, abi na d blak shoe da resemble police own ,dat d wife was wearing...haha
DeleteHahahahahaha tnx for making me to laff Barbie
DeleteTill death do you part. Yes o, but if na woman, why is she still frowned upon?
DeleteMarried at what age please!
ReplyDeletePepper ose oku ahu naihe chaii!
Good for him.
ReplyDeleteMen move on so fast.
I now advice women to do same.
No time to waste mourning 1 man for years.
RME.
I can feel the children's pain tho.
But hey, life goes on.
Shuu, how the children own be na, abeg make them park well abi dem want make their papa follow their mama ni. They better handle things maturedly. #Jesus Baby#
ReplyDeleteCongrats,,,Mr Igbokwe......may his late wife's soul continue to RIP...Life must go on,,,that's d bitter truth!!!
ReplyDeleteand you wonder why the stupid african tradition will harras the women from remarrying.....if a man needs company then a widow too needs company.but in africa if it was a woman they will ask what she needs a husband for especially if she has kids....is it her kids she will sleep with or keep her company?....Africans should stop the hypocrisy and stop oppressing widows, if she meets a man she loves and wants to remarry then let her be.....
ReplyDeletewhat he has done is the reality of life so the kids should just bear it....its not easy but he has tried. at least he is better than all this pastors that did not even wait up to a year sef.
Brilliant comment. Av seen a woman who remarried after 3mths dt her husband died. And she told everyone who cares to listen that, she usually suffer stomach pain if a man doesn't sleep with her for long. She moved out of the husband's huse after d burial, went back to her parents huse n did another wedding sharply. Lol. No dulling at all.
DeleteThen,she didn't have kids.
DeleteNot really Easy with Kids though! Am happy for him... Please children bear with your Father I guess.. life happens!!!
DeleteWhen a man dies,the woman mourn him for lifetime,some don't remarry while others remarry after 10yrs.
ReplyDeleteWhen a woman dies,the men mourn for 6months.. Many remarry 1yr later while others marry after the burial...
Why would you continue with the wedding your kids refused to attend?That's disrespectful; respect is reciprocal baba;we too shake to marry this days oh,Parents are shaking,what would the young ones do? secret wedding.
ReplyDeleteKaycee u no make sense @ all! Dis kids r old enuf 2take care of themselves 4 cryinq out loud. They myt b married too. Y r dey so bitter over their father findinq joy aqain? Will stayinq unmarried brinq back d late mother? Last tym I checked marriaqe is till death do us part, if I understand so well dats exactly d situation here. So how did he disrespect d children? Some of u r sayinq women mourn lonqer dan d male folkz, dat is true. But datz d nature of a woman. U can't seperate women 4rm emotion n compassion. Wen a woman looses a child she mourns him 4ever d man 4qets afta a while... If ur spouse is qone n u can't stay alone, d bible say u shud remarry its no sin! So d children shud park well abeq. Na dem dey even disrespect d fatHer.
DeleteKaka is the Second son and not first.
ReplyDeleteHelloooo!
ReplyDeleteHow many days' ago did his wife die?was he waiting for her to die or he killed her,which one?hmmmmm it's actually not easy being friends' with a forty something year old and never married spinster,shes already a desperate housewife',anything can happen #rme#
Stella, I have to disagree with you on this one. No doubt 'daddy has to move on', but if indeed it is true that they had been together before christy's demise, then his children are right to be unhappy with him. Most especially if they did attend her memorial together.
ReplyDeleteClick my name for all your celebration cakes n cupcakes, cheers.
Can't wait for the pics...olofofos o,do the needful abeg...lolz
ReplyDeleteI believe the only reason dt doesn't make women re-marry on time is lack of suitors. We all know how difficult it is for a beautiful single lady to find a committed guy talk more of a widow. The man's family will shout out. They will so critique the relationship so much dt the widow will find her way.
ReplyDeleteIf u are a widow n can find someone to marry u---biko do d needful.
Gbammmest, we women can like to play the victim hahaha in reality we are very smart and cunny
DeleteI cudnt aqree more!
DeleteI once met a widow in my church. We got talking and I asked her why she hasn't considered marrying someone else. She told me she can't get married again cos she never enjoyed d man dt died. She said she suffered in d marriage so she doesn't believe in love. She believes men are d same, dt she was not happy wen her husband died but she was thankful dt she's problem free. Different strokes for different folks.
ReplyDeleteOut of point.
DeleteThis is the real eze wanyi lol
DeleteYes,the real Ezewanyi agadaga. Nnukwu nwanyi
DeleteLolz
DeleteObiora is the first son not Kaka
ReplyDeleteTrue that..chioma Okeke is dis u
DeleteShe died since July 2011. Wonder how he rushed into marriage after 3years of mourning. Children always frown @ the idea of another woman taking their mother's place even in death. I'm a witness ok? But life must go on, so the kids can like to cool down now abeg. Daddy needs love n care and sex that d kids cant give. Better this than having several secret affairs outside
ReplyDeleteHian!
ReplyDeleteMake una free d man jhor!
Christy wore d trouser in d marriage.....
Its oga's turn now!
He even tried sef.
You sabi igbokwe family wella, my aunt shares a fence with them.
Delete3 months!! He was definitely dating his new wife while his dead wife was on her sick bed!! Good Lord!! Men! Men!! Men!!!
ReplyDeleteSure ur brain wasn't in d ryt position wen u read d post or u didn't read @ all!
DeleteHmmmmm,men? My mum is late,but wen she was alife,her n my dad wia nt d best of friends. My dad will alwayz want my mum 2 bring her salary n give 2 him.my mum made sure we neva lacked @ skool.my bro sumtym came back 4rm skool,asked 4 moni n he said no moni,only 4 me 2 open his fone n saw credit dt he sent 2 a woman n said 1500. It was hell.he beats my mum n all dat.we told dem dt if 4 any reason any of dm dies whoeva dats is living will neva marry. Fast forward my mum died,my sibs asked him 2 place his hands on mums casket n tell her he isn't going 2 remarry orwe won't carry her home 4 burial....:he had no option n he did dt. Do u knw after a couple of mnths he started sayin marriage. We told him 2 go ahead. When he told his kinsmen who wia aggitating 4 a wife 4 him wat happened in the morgue,dy started leaving one after d other. If dy wia best of friends,we wld have even gone 2 bring d woman 4 him. U find out dt most men who remarry after d death of dia wives wia nt leaving in peace b/4 death came. So I guess dats d reason his children wia nt in support of him remarrying. Pls don't call me name,I don't care if he sleeps around,but no woman will smell dt house as mrs. I'm d person wearing d shoe,I knw wia it hurts most. My younger bros r ready 2 face d hangmans rope if he pressurizes. But I won't let it get 2 dt. He knws his sons r ready 4 him. Hez nt even tuking of wo nw tuk more of woman.Men r jst selfish.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of talk is this?
DeleteWicked children with unforgiving spirit.
DeleteWho da hell is this nitwit? You and your brother are the most disrespectful duo! Don't go and plan your future.stay there and be doing 'washinite' for your Dad's 'Ekporoh'. Over see~ finish naim be this! May your kids determine how you run your life in future! Can you imagine what you re spewing forth from your narrow minded mouth? May God not let your dad catch HIV, because you the mumu would rather he plays the field. Tell me,how does it feel to be stupid? Your head must be loaded with 'happy thoughts'! Gerrout!
DeleteThis anons 1:08 dey craze oo, lol!! You need to see a doctor
DeleteIts so easy 2 meddle into ppl's affairs 4qettinq d fact dat dey r also human! Anon bet me ur kids will do same 2u! U r so wicked n hrtless... Gosh I can't deal! U even qet mind type dis trash here? Ur mind must b as d devil's!
DeleteWell,i used to be neighbours wit dem and hé has 3 Abi 4 grown kids.Obi is d first n d second Went to d same uni wit me.and is married.i understand how dey feel buh like Stella said,dey have to move on buh den it dépends on how daddy dearest handled it.no matter how big we r ,we r stil loyal to our dead parent or parents.so any attempt at ré marrying wil look to d kids like daddy is trying to "replace" mommy.buh dis can be sorted out by calling dem boys and ironing out why daddy needs to marry.d genetic make up of men makes dem vulnérable wen dey lose à spouse buh women r wired differently.a little caress to their sentiments would have done d trick.good luck to dem all as dey go via dis trying period....
ReplyDeleteUNEC babes I cu! publicity shy obi will cringe@ being discussed on a blog TIME sorts everything out. Give it time guys
DeleteSome men sha... I remember 1 of my dad's friend who remarried his friend wife 4months after his wife died, Nd d late woman was buried in his house.
ReplyDeleteSome people are just unbelievable, don't u guys expect the guy to marry again, I always encourage men and women to remarry when they loose their spouse, u want him to commit adultery, where he can conveniently remarry ? As for the children, they should all grow up.
ReplyDeleteDADDY HAS TO CONTINUE THE FxxKS GUYS MAKE UNA WAKE UP................LOL
ReplyDeleteHmmmm Stella oooo!!! U re so current eh! I fllw ma sugar dadi dere o! We wernt evn allowed to snap pic n ma sugar dadi warned me 2 shut up ma mouth! True! None of d kids were dere n heard frm a reliable source Dt d son kaka moved out with hz wife bcz of this who kasala. Yes! De were livin in same house wiv hz dad.. hian!
ReplyDelete@kc, did u say sugar daddy? God is watching u on 5D.repent now!
DeleteLol @ saint ezenwanyi nauqhty woman!
DeleteWen I tell women ain't no point worrying urself 2 death over a man, dem no de feel me. If e too respect ur memory after u're gone e go give u 2yrs. U kpeme e go remarry, e kpeme u go dey like dat, hw many men wan marry widow? Jst live ur life nd b happy while u've got it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm..Men! If he was dating the lady before their mother died then that is very bad.
ReplyDeleteToh. EVE E UME
ReplyDeleteNa wao,life oh life..
ReplyDeletethe children are bunch of hypocrites,at least iremembered one of them got married less than a 3months after their mum was buried.Everybody was there for him,now daddy was to continue his life they are grumbling.It happened to me when my mum died,i couldn't bear him marrying another woman but now I have accepted her,because I want my dad to be happy.Even pastors when their wives die,they replace within a year.
ReplyDeleteI just hope both of them didn't kill the woman?
ReplyDeleteBenefits of being a man, he'll pick replacement before she even dies and will say he was adviced to remarry. While d woman mourns all her life and seen as a devil if she ventures into a relationship. D advicers no de see d women?
ReplyDeleteAny female paastors? Till eternity?
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh leave daddy nahh..
ReplyDeleteIf they were dating before she died, that was wrong, but if not, he needs to move on. Their contract ended when she died. Rose
ReplyDeleteI am a close friend to the family of the Igbokwe's, i also went to the same secondary school with three of them and the same University with one of them (Kaka). I have spent time with the late Christy especially when she threw parties for all to attend at their Adeniyi Jones residence. I want to say two things, even when Kaka was in Uni i told him i ran into his father and this lady he married when she was in University of Uyo, she shared a room with my sister and Chief Igbokwe (Christy's Husband) had been dating this woman for the later 15yrs he was married to Christy. It is so sad that none of the kids were sharp enough to notice. This same woman (wife number 2) with my sister use to wait for Chief Edwin at the airport when he comes back from international trips and take their share before Chief heads back to Christy, i'm talking expensive cloths, perfumes, u name it. Chief gave this woman her first 1million Naira, her first car even bought her a morano jeep a year after Christy passed away. My sister said the girl was so desperate to marry Chief that she suspects the two of them of foul play, reason being Christy found out he was cheating on her and locked up the man's funds for years as punishment. As for the Kaka not talking with the father is hundred percent true, he offered to stay with the father for 2yrs after Christy died to stabilise the man before he moves out, omly for the young man to notice the man was sleeping with a woman a month before the wife was buried, going out with the woman to functions before the one year remembrance and even seeing the woman come to the gouse without the father even introducing her to the boys. So he confronted his father on the issue after a year of his mother's death and told the father he should respect the mother and the family name because according to Kaka this marriage was to have happened in december 2012 if he didnt intervene but the father retaliated by blocking Kaka out of the family business & wealth. The young man left the house and started his own life leaving his father to God. But they reconciled last year only for the father to frustrate Kaka's efforts in launching Christy's foundation late last year which made things to go sour again that is why they are not in talking terms. I can confidently tell you i spoke to Kaka and he respects his father so much, i can also tell you the father fears Kaka. I know i have betrayed a friend by telling this story but i believe if i dont tell it someone else will. Marrying the woman you cheated on my mother with for fifteen years and you expect me to be happy? Sorry guys i stand with the kids on this one, the man no try, the kids are the victims here. When me sef hear the story e be like nollywood movie Lol. Stella we need pictures oh. MARVIN
ReplyDeleteMen eh!!!!! Hian!!!! If u r killing urself there on top ur husband matter, I hope u r reading this!!!!
DeleteOk marvin tanx 4 d naration! But friends like u...smh!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm Marvin! This is an expository may God fight for Christy's children. now we know we r on earth with demons some men need Jesus.
