    New lease of life for Chika Mbonu

    The traveller who finds a rock in his way has the choice of making it a stumbling stone blocking his progress or a stepping stone onto a higher plane. For a while, it seemed that former MD/CEO of defunct Assurance Bank, Chika Mbonu, had chosen the former option. This followed his disappearance from the social scene after he ran into trouble with the authorities.

    But the former CEO of defunct Citizens Bank has now retraced his steps and decided that the second option is better. Rather than sink into the swamp of oblivion following a series of revelations that rocked his life and marriage, Casmir Chika Mbonu has re-emerged on the social scene stronger and wiser.

    For a while he had no choice but to excuse himself from public view in order to rebrand himself and wash away the stains of the past. He has been spotted at a few private bashes as he begins the process of reacquainting himself with high society.

  • Chika Mbonu in steady rebound

    When tough times appear like violent waves lashing against the ship and tearing it apart, some people sink in the ocean, some try to go along with the waves hope they carry them to the shore, while others swim against the tide until it abates and they retrace their steps. The last scenario is the case with ex-socialite and former MD of the defunct Assurance Bank, Chika Mbonu, as he takes tentative steps back to relevance after a series of misfortunes.

    Chika once wielded the reputation of a hardworking businessman besides being a top pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God for many years. But as it is sometimes the case with reputation, everything fell apart after a saga that shook the social space in Lagos to its foundation. It was a development that came with serious consequences for the Anambra-born financial expert’s family as well as his pastoral duties and caused him to lie low for years.

    Recently, however, the former deputy MD at Chisco Transport staged a comeback. Although his return was not with any fanfare, Mbonu is steadily appearing at select shindigs towards a return to his glorious days as an icon of high society.

    After the storm comes the rainbow. Former Managing Director of the now defunct Citizens Bank, Chika Mbonu, is in his season of rainbow after the series of trials that almost destroyed his marriage.

    Over the years, he seems to have adopted controversy as a companion. His constant dance with the media has managed to rock the once steady boat of his career and marriage.

    Mbonu, who was also a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has had his fair share of negative publicity. The social life of Chika, who used to be the toast of the banking industry, went under after his encounter with EFCC and the collapse of his marriage.

    But a new era seems to be on the horizon for the banker. He appears to have got rid of the past misfortune and fixed his marriage and social life. Lately, he has courageously begun his return to the social scene as he has been spotted at a few private grooves. But he is only relating with those he is intensely familiar with.

  • Happy times for Chika Mbonu and wife

    Happy times for Chika Mbonu and wife

    For Chika Mbonu, the former Managing Director of the defunct Assurance Bank, and his lovely wife, Amaka, these are indeed happy times. Recently sighted at Nnami Okonkwo’s 50th birthday party, the couple was all over each other like two young lovers who had just been struck with the cupid arrow. They were seen passing one gist after the other to each other.

    Their sight at the birthday bash definitely told a story of a resurging love affair. Without doubt, Chika and Amaka’s marriage has weathered many storms, as many will recall how the union almost reportedly hit the rocks. The world of Amaka was almost jolted by the report that Chika was done with her and was already considering a world in which the loving, dark-complexioned Amaka would not feature. It was speculated then that Chika, who had everything at his beck and call, was planning to dissolve the marriage for reasons best known to him.

    The period nearly ended their marriage, but for the timely intervention of friends of the family, who doused the tension and helped restore the marriage. All that has, however, been dumped into the dustbin of history, as the couple are now happy together.
