Bianca Ojukwu, Wife of late Igbo leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and Nigeria's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs who also served as a former presidential advisor and Nigeria's Ambassador to Ghana and Spain celebrated on her facebook page, the President of Real Madrid Football Club Florentino Perez on his Birthday anniversary which coincidentally falls on the same day as International Women's Day (IWD) 2026.
The Former Beauty Queen stated as follows,

'The King of the Beautiful game, Florentino Perez, Real Madrid President turns 79 today, International Women's Day 2026. Football is universally known as the Beautiful Game because of it's passion, it's unpredictability, drama and artistic skill that transcends language and culture. It is a unifying force.

Today, I pay tribute to an extraordinary individual who gave me a great deal of inspiration during my tenure as Nigeria's Ambassador to Spain.

Our Embassy in Madrid, Spain, is a stone throw from the Bernabeu Stadium, home of the Real Madrid Football Club, and some of my most memorable moments watching spectacular football matches were spent there in the VIP booth courtesy of Mr Florentino Perez. This was where I met the iconic Ronaldo for the very first time.

Today, IWD'26, I equally celebrate a man who appreciates the impact and momentum women bring to the beautiful game, and who has helped the women's football movement grow in leaps and bounds.

Florentino Perez is the primary architect behind the creation of Real Madrid Femenino, a Female Football Team, through the 2020 merger with CD Tacón. As president, he oversees this project, inspiring a new generation of girls and women to embrace the fact that this Beautiful Game is inclusive, and belongs to all of us!'

Kuriou:
A file photo of Bianca Onoh ( as she then was), who celebrates today, the anniversary of her first ever beauty contest victory , MISS MARTINI which she won decades ago while in her late teens as a college student in England. Encouraged by her pals, She had entered this contest , not quite optimistic of success and was on her way out of the venue…almost at the door…when she was announced the winner.

The star prize was a year’s modeling contract in Japan, a modest cash prize and the chance to appear in a glitzy television commercial for the Martini Rossi Brand, a dream she had nursed through her teenage years. Finally it had come true.
However, Being a student , with her final exams just a few months away, she had to make the tough decision to forgo the Modeling contract in Tokyo, Japan and by extension, the television Ad as both were linked. She ended up with a token cash prize, deeply saddened by the thought that she had possibly missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

Several years later, in 1988, she was presented with another opportunity to take part in another pageant, the MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN NIGERIA Pageant. (MBGN), which she won. From then on, she on to win Miss Africa ( In Banjul), Miss Drushbah (Russia ), and became the first African to win the Miss Intercontinental Beauty Pageant, as well as Nigeria’s Queen for Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. These wins also earned her several endorsements and numerous print and television ads for beauty and lifestyle brands.

The rest is history.
Bianca Onoh who graduated as a Lawyer later married the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and they had three children . She went on to become a businesswoman,Presidential Advisor, Ambassador to Ghana and later to Spain amongst other National and State assignments.

dominique:
Look at how Ursula looks like now. Do they still look alike?

How wonderful to know that the lady is still alive. She was a stunner in her day. She must be in her eighties now.

Gadafii:

The woman fine, no be small. Too fine

frankly01:
Aswear! You can hardly tell the difference between the two.

Exactly what I think. They look like sisters

Why wasting time and resources. After everything it will turn to cold case

Adewale1603:
power of money

All d money in the world cannot buy you that kind of height. Beauty maybe, but statuesque height? A definite No.

patrickcollins:
She came from a very wealthy family, married a man in Ojukwu Status that's the reason

You said it all

Only in Naija

RIP

Following the death of Namibia’s president Hage Geingob, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of late Biafra Leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu took to her fb page to pay tribute to the SWAPO(South West Africa Peoples Organization ) Liberation movement hero and anti apartheid activist who, after 27 years in exile, returned to become Prime minister when Namibia was liberated from South Africa in 1990. She also shared pictures from an event at the Namibia State House with the immediate past president who died yesterday as well as his successor Dr Nangolo Mbumba, who was also sworn in yesterday.

In a post captioned ‘SUN SETS FOR ANOTHER FREEDOM FIGHTER’, she stated that ‘ He was a true African leader who will be remembered for his unwavering efforts in the Namibia liberation struggle. I extend my deepest sympathies to his beautiful and resourceful wife, Lady Monica. They were one of the nicest couples I have ever come across, always welcoming and hospitable.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.’

She also noted his early life of struggle for freedom for Namibia against the oppression of the South African Apartheid Regime highlighting the fact that in 1960, the anti Apartheid activist was expelled from the Augustineum School for having participated in a march in protest at the poor quality of education for blacks. He was, however, readmitted and finished the teacher-training course in 1961.

‘He and three of his colleagues walked and hitchhiked to Botswana to escape the oppressive apartheid system. From Botswana, he was scheduled to go to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on a plane chartered by the African National Congress (ANC), but the plane was blown up by the South African regime. The bomb that had been planted on the plane to eliminate them mid flight went off prematurely, before the plane was able to take off. His exile years had begun.
Subsequently, Geingob remained in Botswana, where he served as Assistant (SWAPO) South West Africa People’s Organisation Representative (1963–64).

In 1964 Geingob left for the United States where he was granted a scholarship to continue his studies. He became the SWAPO representative at the United Nations and to the Americas.

He travelled extensively, with his colleagues, criss-crossing the United States, talking with people, and addressing gatherings. Ultimately the United Nations General Assembly recognised SWAPO as the sole and authentic representative of the people of Namibia. Namibians' struggle at the international fora, and their armed struggle launched in 1966, eventually led to the independence of Namibia in 1990.
He returned , after 27 years in Exile on 18 June 1989 and in 1990, Namibia gained its independence from South Africa. Sam Nujoma, SWAPO’s founding father became Namibia’s first president and Hage Geingob became the Prime minister.’

Mrs Ojukwu further stated that ‘ He was loved by his people and fought hard to retain the principles of their hard earned freedom in SWAPO’s administration’.

Dr. Nangolo Mbumba has been sworn in as the fourth President of Namibia. He is Namibia’s former Vice President and has held the position since 2018. He was also the secretary general of SWAPO from 2012-2017.

He was sworn in on Sunday by Chief Justice Peter Shivute in Windhoek, the country’s capital.

He is a member of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO), and its secretary-general from 2012 to 2017. He headed several Namibian ministries: Agriculture, Water and Rural Development (1993–1996), Finance (1996–2003), Information and Broadcasting (2003–2005) Education (2005–2010) and Safety and Security (2010–2012).

The Namibian nation has lost a distinguished servant of the people, a liberation struggle icon, the chief architect of our constitution and the pillar of the Namibian house,” Nangolo Mbumba , the New President stated.

T8ksy:
A virtuous woman is she with a high moral standards so I will say, the yorubs woman in the 1959 beauty pageantry is not a virtuous person.

I certainly wouldn't want my pretty daughter to dress half-naked for some dirty old men to ogle her just so they can determine, that she's the prettiest of the bunch.

Oga, park one side, joor. Papa Pastor, make you rest, na. Stop acting like a mad mob. Na your naked?

Undisputedly one of the most beautiful and elegant beauty queens, if not the most beautiful Nigeria has ever produced.

Firstorderwizard:
Mehn see beauty.
She's a real asset to the Ojukwu dynasty.
Representing her husband's reputation well even in death.
One of the reasons we should be careful of who we get married to

Her beauty no get part 2.
See height and elegance.

Check out our hustle

PANDA2:
The problem is that flights are too expensive for the common man, especially this festive season

The thing weak me, my brother. Common to get from Lagos to Abuja, you go sell your house and car

Colourful

MadamVanessa:


Ojukwu still remains the most valuable and respected leader in Nigeria. After the Biafra war, he was giving a heroic welcome by the Nigerian government, during his burial the Nigerian leaders and other African leaders and Nigerian army was saluting his corpse left right and centre. What a brave man was Ojukwu.

On point

Funny

Shameless drunk

Ok

THESE STOMACH INFRASTRUCTURE POLITICIANS HAVE NO SHAME. ALWAYS JUMPING FROM PARTY TO PARTY LIKE YO-YO.

PANDA2:
Ebele Obiano is d one who disgrace herself with her foolishness.
Know that Bianca is the daughter of a former governor of ANAMBRA state. Enugu and Anambra was the same state before
Is not some of Ojukwu’s children dat are angry and frustrated because OJUKWU left her a lot in his will that are d ones to determine who contests elections in Anambra State. Ebele Obiano who is from Anambra is also contesting Election this time. We shall see how she will end up
Ebele Obiano is the one who disgraced herself and her husband, hence her widely publicized apology to Bianca for walking up to the woman and attacking the woman first.

I totally agree.

pretydiva:
Ageless beauty

Her beauty doesn’t seem to fade.
