Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) celebrated the third birthday of his triplets, Ragnar, Liam, and Aiden, with a lavish party over the weekend. However, the festive occasion was marred by controversy, with the absence of the children’s mother, Precious Chikwendu, and the presence of an unidentified woman who took center stage throughout the celebration.
Social media erupted with speculation and criticism as photos and videos from the birthday bash flooded the internet. The pictures depicted a vibrant, kid-centric party filled with balloons, cakes, and entertainment. FFK was seen beaming alongside his sons, with a well-dressed woman constantly by his side. The woman, adorned in an elegant outfit, played a prominent role in the festivities, interacting with the triplets, cutting cake, and even holding Aiden in some photos.
Precious Chikwendu’s Absence Raises Eyebrows
The most glaring omission from the party was the presence of Precious Chikwendu, the triplets’ mother. FFK and Chikwendu have been embroiled in a bitter custody battle since their highly publicized separation in 2017. The estranged couple has traded accusations and insults through media channels, making their co-parenting relationship strained at best. Chikwendu’s absence at the triplets’ birthday fueled speculation that she was either not invited or denied access to her sons on their special day.
Social Media Frenzy: #wherespree and #FFKNewWoman
The internet quickly picked up on the missing mother and mystery woman. The hashtag #wherespree (a nickname for Precious Chikwendu) trended on Twitter, with many users expressing concern and outrage over her apparent exclusion. Others focused on the unidentified woman, coining the hashtag #FFKNewWoman. Comments ranged from inquisitive to accusatory, with some questioning the nature of the woman’s relationship with FFK and others criticizing him for potentially moving on too quickly.
