Bianca Ojukwu and I were intimate for years, says Femi Fani-Kayode



Controversial ex-minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, who is at the centre of a fire-storm for a series of alleged anti-Igbo articles, added a fresh layer to the testy debate on Tuesday with a boastful revelation of the Igbo women he dated “intimately”, including Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of ex-Biafra warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Mr. Fani-Kayode had sought to counter criticisms that trailed his initial articles in which he appeared to celebrate the multiple massacres of southerners – mainly Igbos – in the north in the 1950s and 1960s. Critics said he was anti-Igbo, and accused him of tribalism.
Bianca Ojukwu, currently Nigeria's ambassador to Spain, started dating the late Emeka Ojukwu in 1988.

Mr. Fani-Kayode’s first articles came as a reaction to the controversial deportation from Lagos of more than a dozen indigenes of Anambra State by the Lagos State Government.
In a rejoinder published on several outlets on Tuesday, the ex-aviation minster, who has increasingly gained notoriety for spiteful essays particularly attacking the Igbo, dismissed criticisms about his ethnic intolerance by detailing a long list of his pro-Igbo efforts which he claimed demonstrated the falsity of his critics.
The efforts include “longstanding” affairs with at least three Igbo ladies – Mrs. Ojukwu, currently the Nigerian ambassador to Spain, whom he said later married the late Mr. Ojukwu; Adaobi Uchegbu, who works at the National Headquarters of the ruling PDP, and a third, Chioma Anasoh.
Ms. Uchegbu studied at the Onabisi Onabanjo University; she is currently “engaged”, and appears to have left her post at the PDP, according to her social media profile. She merely writes “Former office of the national chairman at PDP”.
“I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Bianca Onoh, an Igbo lady, who many years later married Ojukwu and who is now our Ambassador in Spain,” Mr. Fani-Kayode wrote.
“I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Chioma Anasoh, another Igbo lady, who I almost took as a second wife. I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Adaobi Uchegbu, another Igbo lady, who was exceptionally close to me and who is now at the National Headquarters of the ruling PDP.”
