Dame Patience Jonathan, the wife of Nigeria's sitting president has a BFF that you may not know about.
Her best friend is none other than Hajia Bola Muinat Shagaya, the celebrated businesswoman and society lady.
The bond between these two friends was established when the late
Stella Obasanjo was the First Lady of the country. Bola was very close
to Stella Obasanjo and was always invited to state functions by the
wives of the governors. She was particularly drawn to Patience (whose
husband was then the governor of Bayelsa State) because of her amiable
nature.
When Jonathan became the Vice-President,
Patience sought out Bola to show her the ropes in investing and since
then they have become even closer. So close are these two women that the
whisperings of shameless gossips could not tear them apart. Turai
Yar'adua, ex first lady reportedly tried so hard to tear them apart
whilst simultaneously trying to ordain Bola as her best friend but Bola
chose to stay with Patience.
It is alleged that
Turai treated Patience with so much disdain and she and the Cabal within
her husband’s government, saw to it that the office of the
Vice-President had little or no funds at all. During this period, Bola
was one of the few women who stood by Patience and her family, giving
them a lot of moral support and because of this Patience always makes
sure that she plays a prominent role whenever Bola hosts any event.

Notable among some of Bola's parties that Patience had featured in
are her 50th birthday ceremony in 2009, her first son, Sheriff’s wedding
in 2010 and her second son, Hakeem’s wedding in 2013.
Bola
Shagaya is one of most formidable businesswomen in Nigeria. Her
tentacle spreads across oil and gas, photography, banking and real
estate. She is the Managing Director of Practoil Nigeria Limited.
Shagaya, who is one of the directors in Unity Bank, also looms large
within the real estate sector. She owns a sprawling estate in Abuja and
many commercial properties and real estates in Lagos.
