Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu, Former Ambassador of Nigeria to Spain and currently the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, on the 14th anniversary of the death of her husband, the Igbo leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu revealed in a facebook post, the secret death pact between Ojukwu and the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero.

See below

Witness to History : Kaleidoscope of life and times.....

“ The Ikemba, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, during his lifetime, and in jovial mood would at times, recall a death pact he had with the now late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero.
Apparently, both men, who shared a special bond and friendship had agreed, during one of their lighthearted moments, that if one died before the other, no matter in which part of the world they might be, the survivor of the two must show up before the departed friend is buried, and call his name. If that voice could not rouse him, then that would be final validation that death is fact.

I thought it was an amusing story, and nothing more.
One can only then imagine how jolted I was when on the morning of the funeral of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu a long retinue of vehicles pulled up at our residence. As the visitors walked in solemnly, I was astonished to behold the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, in company of Prince Arthur Eze, and Chief Austin Ndigwe, who was then known as Uzu Awka.
'Where is my friend'?, the Emir asked in an emotion laden voice. Bewidered, I gestured towards the Ikemba's private library, where he was lying in state. The Emir advanced to the partition and halted, obviously overwhelmed by what was before him. It was a tender moment as I heard him softly mutter....'Emeka....'

It was as if, in that split moment, he had hoped that this was a mirage, but alas, his cherished friend had gone the way of all mortals, on that journey from which there would be no return.
Forlorn, he withdrew.
It was at that point that I realized that what had appeared to me as a joke, or at best, mere talk was indeed real.

Emir Ado Bayero remained present through the extensive funeral events of that day ( He can be seen in the pictures above at the State Ceremoy at Okpara Square, Enugu, seated next to Ghanaian President Jerry Rawlings ). Emir Ado Bayero died in 2014, the longest reigning Emir in the history of the Kano Emirate.

The glory years of this country were shaped by men who cherished friendships, who showed up for each other in times of adversity, and who wore the crest of honour like a centurion's breastplate, irrespective of tribe or creed.
May their noble souls continue to Rest in Peace.

On this Anniversary of the death of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the trumpets are raised in tribute to this poignant demonstration of the promise and potentials that this nation can hold.”

Ursula Andress is one of the surviving Hollywood legend.

She’s the first Bond girl. She was in clash of the titans too. I watched Dr No way back . It also featured Sean Connery who is the best James Bond ever

This man go suffer. Who go do his nails in cell?

Mrfeel:
You are not following my story , the war lasted for 3 yrs eastern region money was used later in the war for same weapons ,food , fuel landmines, etc do you even know how much ojukwu was paying his mercenaries monthly? Some of eastern region money was confiscated at an airport in one of these west African countries about 30 million Nigerian pounds which ojukwu was trying to dispose of the money cause Gowon changed the Nigerian currency from pounds to Naira


And about Christopher okigbo read again I said ojukwu was sending him before the war started, that aircraft crashed before the war started

My friend do you know what a fighter jet is ?
Ojukwu bought a fighter jet plus 5 mini fighter jets biafran Babies

My guy, you are too much. Encyclopedia

Most international beauty queens and models are tall.

Only girls with extra height can model clothes well.

This Union and fight be like 5 and 6

Queen Cleopatra must have looked like this

PROUDIGBO:
Damn...she looks like a goddess! So beautiful!

Never mind a thousand ships....she looks good enough to raise the Titanic!

Right on point!

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

Air travel, even local route have gone out of reach of the average Nigerian. Soon, even to walk with ya own leg will attract local tax

She’s so classy and doesn’t tolerate nonsense. I love how she dealt with that stewpid governors wife.

This is not the concern of Nigeria youths. Their only interest is in Big Brother or breaking Guinness world record. They have little interest in the qualifications of government officials and leaders that refer to them as Lazy youth, and unemployable.

That's what many of us don't understand,,,,
Money is not everything,, what you do\act gives you respect

Very true.

Imagine ,the case took ten years before judgement

What's wrong with black man ?
Why didn't they claim the properties while Ojukwu himself was alive?
Wicked Uncles.
Did Ojukwu also not left a will on his estate?
Sure this will likely go on appeal till Supreme court, but the children will win at last.
Their mother will fight for their inheritance not to be taken away by Dhylock uncles

This is typical situation for Igbos because they are fond of bad widowhood practices where brothers always like to collect everything to the last Penny from the widow of their dead brother and dump her and her children in the street.

Desusi:
This is a story for another day.l thought l had heard enough.Would you please tell us more of this info you hinted us?Behold! Nothing is hidden under the sun.May God have mercy on mortar man!

Where do these slowpoke people crawl out from?

Burberry Queen.

Bianca is my heroine ever since she slap the demon out of that Obiano wife who have been bullying the entire Anambra State for 8 years. Bianca Nwanyioma.

Owopariola001:
Lol. Are we not saying the same thing?

I said if this picture is truly taken in the USA, that means humans' mode of dressing affects picture coloration, that is, the appearance and perspective of pictures.

Or how else do you create an "authentic Igbo rural setting" if not through the mode of dressing? Or don't they use Trampoline in the USA or there is no natural vegetation in the USA rural areas?

But wait, do you at all understand English or you're suffering from dyslexia?

Village people don bring their wahala and battle to this thread.

jeromestarks:
If you didn't disvirgin your wife, then at least one of your children is not your own.
Prepare to spend your hard earned money on a child you didn't father.
Note that as soon as her ex shows up, she will fvck him again and again.
Once a woman starts misbehaving, know that she has started seeing another man.
The woman who loves you will not stress you. God bless igbo
. God bless Nigeria.

Chai, Dis @ jeromestarks Don suffer.
Dude has been traveling all over Nairaland dropping the above on every post
Poor thing
Who shafted you, Bro?

Lovely
Culture is very important.

pyyxxaro:
Hope she won’t slap somebody there

Bianca delivered dat slap on behalf of the entire people of Anambra State. We are very proud of her for slapping that whisky drunkard Ebele Obiano into outer space.
I love bold women.

bolanto24:
Classy and beautiful lady. My wife to be must be as beautiful ooo, no compromise on that.

Beauty with Brains

Always a cut above the rest. One of the best beauty queens Nigeria has ever produced. Naturally and effortlessly beautiful, elegant and intelligent. Classy too.

Even as the tummy trainer belt Dey show. This lady go fat, eh if say she no Dey suffer to control her weight. She still look chubby.

ExcelDeBaron:
Useless man. A fooolish morron who has zero knowledge of what governance is all about.

. Pure fact

When judges still have good taste to choose the beautiful one, not like these days when they choose ugly girls as beauty queens. Bianca is an all time great

Adebola314:
Abi O. This was the time when beauty queens were truly beauty queens. They were regal and composed. I maintain that Bianca Onoh remains the best and finest beauty queen Nigeria has produced till date

Just saw these pics on her Fb page

Yankee101:
Either sack this aide or Obiano is frigging jealous

Of course is Obvious that Obiano is jealous of Obi. Obi has a bright political future, and made Obiano everything he is today.
Without Obi , Willie Obiano would have been just a obscure bank worker with fidelity. Obi brought him out of retirement from America where he had retired to a rocking chair. Hebowe Obi got everything he is today.
Obiano is jealous of Obi too because Obi is respected and a Obiano is a laughing stock in Anambra. All the big men laugh at him because he worths nothing.
Obiano is known as ‘promise and fail governor’ who cannot be trusted. Upon that he is always on drink. Even Mbadinuju is better than Obiano today in Anambra State.
