Bimbo And IVD’s Old Neighbor In South Africa Recount How They Always Fought And Made Up Before Relocating To Nigeria

Bimbo Ogbonna, the wife of popular Nigerian businessman, Ikechukwu Ogbonna popularly known as IVD, died recently and the incident has caused a stir on social media.

Following the demise of Bimbo Ogbonna after years of alleged domestic violence at the hands of her husband, IVD, the couple’s old neighbor has taken to Facebook to share her experience from living with them in South Africa.

Facebook user, Francess Olisa Ogbonnaya described Bimbo’s story as a “very complicated and near foolish one”. 

According to Francess, Bimbo and IVD got married around 2009 when she (Bimbo) was 18/19, while IVD was in his early twenties.

She claimed that their marriage was more of a “Bonny and Clyde thing”, as they loved themselves so intensely and also fought fiercely.

Francess recalled that most of them who lived in the South African neighborhood relocated to different countries in 2014, including IVD and Bimbo. The couple’s relocation however came after IVD became rich.

The Facebook user revealed that she was told that the money didn’t reduce their fighting and crisis, but rather it worsened it.

She also recounted how Bimbo would always accuse IVD of engaging in fraud and fetish practices during their fights, and also remind him that she gave up everything for him.
