Nestled in a beautiful estate in a small community of
Oba in Okirika town is the palatial home
of Patience Jonathan , wife of the
president of Nigeria His Excellency Goodluck Jonathan. She hails from the urban
city which is one of the most developed town in River state. Located very close
to the abode of a popular King OLi,the first lady’s neighbourhood is a sight to
behold.
In the massive compound, there over 6 magnificent structures basically blocks of flats built side ways to each other. Among the 4 buildings inside the compound, construction is still ongoing on one. The first building is a block of about 12 flats that is directly beside a big church, which shares the same fence with the villa. Right in the middle of the compound is another similar building which has been completed but currently being painted. And behind it is another big bungalow all with the same black colour roofing. One very unique thing about the vicinity is that all the houses within the
neighbourhood are all being renovated. Some were one storey buildings while
other where either duplex or a bungalow. It was gathered that the first lady in
her usual philanthropic nature ,took the responsibility of renovating some of
the poorly built shackles around there and transformed them into a more conducive
home, a way of giving back to her community. This was revealed by a villager in
the community. The house was barricade with an average height fencing with
railings and flowers which gave it an aesthetic view. The lane that leads into
her abode is flanked by heavily armed soldiers who are guarding the vicinity
hence penetrating the area is not without very heavy scrutiny, especially
whenever the first lady is in town
