Unknown to many, former president Goodluck Jonathan has two wives. While many are familiar with Dame Patience Jonathan who was the first lady during his time as president, not many are aware that the former president took a second wife who has been behind the scenes and prefers to live a quiet life.
While Dame Patience who recently bagged a doctorate degree bore her husband no kids, there are speculations that it is the singular reason Jonathan decided to take a second wife by name Ayima Lott-Jonathan – someone to bear him children and ultimately extend his legacy. They have two sons.
Well, Ayima who knows a thing or two about discretion is an accomplished woman. It wasn’t until her latest feat in the world of academics that her identity became known publicly. She recently bagged a PhD in Education a testament to her intellectual commitment and professional distinction.
A legal practitioner by training, Ayima hails from a family of high repute. She is the daughter of Chief F.D. Lott, a respected legal luminary and former Attorney-General of Bayelsa State. Her deep-rooted heritage in public service and the law has undoubtedly influenced her poise, discretion, and leadership acumen.
Ayima is also a cousin to embattled Diezani Alison-Madueke, the former Minister of Petroleum, making her a member of one of Nigeria’s most politically recognizable lineages. Ayima’s ability to maintain a life of quiet influence while contributing meaningfully to her family and society has sparked conversations around the value of discretion in a hyper-digital age.
Beyond her legal background and political ties, Ayima is an education entrepreneur. She is the founder and proprietor of Aduvie Montessori International, a prestigious private school located off Blantyre Street in Maitama, Abuja. The institution is widely regarded as one of the finest early learning academies in the Federal Capital Territory, drawing high-profile clientele and setting standards in quality education delivery.
Those close to her describe her as a woman of class, intelligence, and quiet strength. A role model for women who value substance over spotlight.
