CLASH OF INTEREST: CHIDI MOKEME ROMANCES HABIBA ABUBAKAR
For those people who are following events in Nollywood, they will
agree with me that things are really happening in the make-believe
industry popularly referred as Nollywood,

Years back, it was rumoured that Chidi Mokeme was in a relationship
with the former Senator and one-time special adviser on NASS issue to
the former president, Chief Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo. So pronounced was
their relationship to the extent that no party was in town that time
that the two estranged lovers would step into together. As at the time
of this on-going rumour, the two never gave a hoot about it but
another actor, Jim Iyke who, we learnt, romanced the woman after she
'dumped' Chidi.

Well, time, they say, heals wounds, but not with Chidi as he waited
till this moment to have his own pound of flesh. If you recalled that
this informative and entertaining website, www.nigeriafilms.com
recently carried a story on Jim Iyke and her 'partner, Habiba
Abubakar, the stupendously rich woman, married, who invested some
millions into a project said to have been introduced by the gangling
actor. When the business went soured and the two 'friends' went their
separate ways, one man that was said to have been behind the whole
brouhaha is just married Chidi Mokeme.

As you are reading this, the two controversial personalities are in
the news and busy dolling out money, gifts to the less-privileged in
the society.
According to a brief sent to this office, we learnt that the rich
Abuja based multi-millionaire married Hausa woman who invested N16.5m
in Nollywood actor Jim Iyke's Untamed Company, together with her
husband, Ambassador Abubakar, and Nollywood actor Chidi Mokeme stormed
Kano and Bauchi to distribute cash, food items, clothes and other
materials to Churches, Mosques and Quranic schools. In Islam this is
known as Zakat.

Every year Muslims all over the world remove Zakat (some percentage)
of their total wealth both cash and property and distribute to
those in need. And judging by the amount of wealth accumulated by
these property gurus, one can only shudder at the amount of money they
doled out this year.
