There are some secrets that are secrets but for those who are always In
the news, their secrets are sometime, open secrets. Amongst those who
fall in this category is the current Chief Executive Officer/Managing
Director of United Bank of Africa Plc, Tony Elumelu whose tenure as the
CEO/MD expires in June, as he was said to have enmeshed himself in a sex
scandals that resulted to him having a beautiful baby girl outside
matrimony with a lady named Carol. The 7 year old girl, according to
information, was born in January, 2003 and christened Helen but
nicknamed Chuchu.
Carol is a Christian but grew up in Jos. Her
mother is from Kogi State. Carol is a seamstress and contractor on the
side. Tall and fair in complexion, she has a prominent scar on her arm
from an auto accident. We gathered that the ‘Banking Cowboy’, as the
boss of one of the best financial institutions in Africais being
referred, offered Carol some millions of Naira to get rid of the foetus
when the news of the pregnancy was regaled to him by her. When Carol
seemed to be stubborn about considering abortion, inside source informed
yours truly that, he offered another N1.5m with all expenses paid-trip
to Germany for the abortion procedure, an offer Carol was said to have
deliberately refused.
Thereafter, Tony, we learnt, cut her off
and they don’t communicate but see each other at functions and look the
other way. Carol lives at Lekki where she’s coping with single
motherhood syndrome with her baby. Although, life, according to
findings, is not too posh for them, however, she’s able to send the
split-image of the banking guru, Tony Elumelu, Helen to one of the best
schools on the Island with the little profit she makes from her this and
that businesses.
Though, Carol herself has her own dark sides as
she was said to have romanced one of Tony’s cousin shortly after she
got delivered of the baby. We shall bring to you other secrets of the
big boy Tony, how he was said to have sent some thugs to eliminate them
and the other deeds that ensured between Carol and the out-going CEO/MD
of UBA next week. Keep a date with your soar-away magazine website, nfc.
