Northern Soldiers And Their Relations with Igbo Women In Post-Biafran Nigeria by odumchi: 6:52am On Oct 21, 2014 |
We've all heard about how commonplace it was for Northern soldiers (known then as 'Ndi Oma') to 'marry' and 'take' Igbo women back with them to the North during and after the military's occupation of the East in the 70s. I remember there being a thread about this topic before the data loss, but it's no longer there. I'd like to get more information on this, please. 2 Likes |

dboss444: How wicked the white men were, advising them to take to procreate with animals because they felt threatened by them, thank God the northerners in their infinite wisdom put the white men in their place, 2 Likes |

Lieeeessssssss!!! I have lived in the north all my life, I have never met a northerner married to an igbo woman or any northerner with igbo blood in his veins, not saying there aren't, but that's just how scarce they are, and I doubt any (if there are) of them would admit it!!! Rubbish!!! Probably the dumbest thing I've read on NL, and I have read a lot of dumb things!!!! But maybe in the north central (middle belt) 1 Like |

yeah. IBB, Yohanna Madaki, OBJ etc. Even Gowon was engaged to Edith Okongwu but the marriage was called off owing to civil war sentiments.(Heard she took in for him too). plenty northern soldiers took wives from the former biafran enclave. If you see any igbo lady (late 20s, early 30s) that says her father is from the North, chances are that her father was a soldier and got married shortly the war.I grew up in the barracks and saw quite a few of them. (dunno where daisy danjuma is from, though). 2 Likes 1 Share |

dom: ^^^^ Daisy Danjuma is from Itsekiriland. I attended a Northern FGC decades back and had a wonderful classmate whose father is from Kano and mother from Onitsha. My friend and classmate by the name of Mohammed used to travel to the U.S. for holidays so he came from a family of proffessionals. The father was not a military man. A former Presidential aspirant by the name of Alh. Galtima, a very articulate man and ex-student of FGC Enugu or Owerri (I can't recall offhand which of them) from Maidiguri is married to an Ibo woman. |

There's this family I know so well in the middle belt who have this set up. The father was a soldier who participated in the civil war from plateau state and their mother is from either Imo or Abia state. Their mother named them Igbo names: Kelechi, Uche, Ogochukwu etc Some of them esp the males were interested in their mother's side unlike the females. Unfortunately their mother passed on when the girls where just getting matured. |
