Ojukwu's Will - Bianca Speaks Out!

Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria's Ambassador to Spain and widow of late Biafran leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, yesterday appealed to all those contesting the authenticity of the Will left by her deceased husband to sheathe their sword and allow his soul to rest in peace. Describing Ojukwu as a man of honour and dignity whose legacies should not be destroyed.

She told LEADERSHIP in an exclusive interview that the Will, which has become a subject of controversy since it was read at the Enugu High Court last Friday, was prepared in 2005, adding that all the executors mentioned in the Will were present at the time it was written.

Bianca, daughter of former governor of old Enugu State, late Chief Christian Onoh, added that all the property she inherited through the Will were those she and the late Ojukwu collectively acquired in the course of their marriage, explaining that she did not get any property outside the ones both of them built as husband and wife. Ojukwu died in a London hospital on November 26, 2011.

But Emeka Ojukwu Jnr, who was mentioned in the Will as the first son of the departed Igbo leader, reportedly described the document as 'fake'. He alleged that Barrister Emeka Onyemelukwe, who presented the Will, was a private counsel to Bianca and not that of the late Ikemba Nnewi.

The junior Emeka Ojukwu, who spoke at his country home Nnewi, Anambra state, reportedly argued that he had a copy of the original Will written by his father, "and not what he called the fraud presented as a Will".

But Ambassador Ojukwu, said that those dissatisfied with the Will know the best option to take, even as she advised that the legacies of the late Biafran leader should not be toyed with.

"For me the most important thing is that my late husband left a Will, and so all this argument is unnecessary. All those contesting the authenticity of the Will know the right thing to do.

"As former governor of the defunct Eastern Region, and later Head of state of defunct Biafra, Ojukwu did not appropriate any government property, and so he should be left with his integrity and dignity intact. Those contesting the Will may have their reasons for doing so, but they know the right thing to do", she emphasized.

Meanwhile, Sylvester Ojukwu, long touted as the first son of the late Ikemba Nnewi, but whose name is conspicuously missing in the Will, has also expressed doubt about the authenticity of the document, though he reportedly claimed to be worth more than the assets mentioned in the controversial Will.

The Will read last Friday before an Enugu High Court, gave Ambassador Bianca, substantial part of the property acquired by her late husband, including the famous Casabianca building on Forest Close, Enugu.

Father told me about love child......“authentic Will” yet to be read – Ojukwu’s son

Chief Sylvester Debe Odumegwu-Ojukwu

First son of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Mr. Debe Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on Sunday revealed that Teny Harman was his late father’s biological daughter.

Debe, who spoke to the Punch correspondent in Enugu, said there was no reason to question the paternity of Herman, as he (Debe) had always known about her.

He said, “That is his daughter, I knew about her; my father told me himself. The old man told me that Teny Herman was his daughter. I am his biggest and closest confidant; so there were so many things he laid bare to me which he never told others.”

Debe, also known as Sylvester, revealed that Teny Herman’s mother was a Northerner.

“Her mother is from the North – Kaduna State precisely but I am not so sure of her first name now,” he said.

According to him, the ex-Biafra warlord’s love for Teny embodied the love he had for Northerners while alive.

He said, “My father loved Teny just the same way he loved the northerners. Infact, Teny’s conception and birth was a hidden agenda he executed to demonstrate his love for the Northerners.”

However, he stated that the “authentic Will” written by his father was yet to be read, saying, “the Will purportedly read last week Friday at the Enugu State High Court is a script prepared by some people to suit their selfish desire.”

Debe added, “That is not his Will, you can see it from the reactions that have trailed it since it was read, so I’m not bothered. When the time comes, my late father’s Will would be read.

“Whenever it is time to read my father’s Will, Nigerians would be duly informed and no one would be taken unawares as was the case in Enugu.”

STYLEWATCH: Dressing To Suit The Lollipop Shape...What To Wear And What To Avoid

The Lollipop Shape:


Trinny and Susannah’s Lollipop shape is described as big tits, slight waist, slim hips and long legs.
Think tall and slender, almost boyish really. Legs and arms will be long and slim leading to hips that are slender and a waist that is barely there. A lollipop is sort of straight up and down, right up to the chest where suddenly there’s curves a plenty. This is the shape that Trinny and Susannah refer to as “tit’s on a stick”.
This shape is touted as ideal in our “slim is everything” society. Its just a shape like any other and comes with it’s own set of traps and downfalls.

Dressing The Lollipop
As with all shapes it’s about finding balance, in this case keeping your long slender limbs from looking like sticks and your breasts from becoming the centre of attention so that you end up looking like a … well, a lollipop.
Do – broaden your hips and shoulders to create the illusion of curves
Don’t – over emphasize the length of your legs or they will look endless and the rest of you like a brick sitting on top of stilts.
Do – open up your chest to reduce the impact of your breasts.
Don't - cover up your neck and chest with swathes of material as you’ll end up looking like a snake that swallowed a couple of melons.

Clothing – what to avoid
Turtlenecks – or in fact any high necked top as they will make your breasts look huge and oddly out of alignment.
Shift dresses – a dress with no shape to it will just hang from your breasts and hide the rest of your shape.
High cut shirts or tops – the same with turtlenecks covering up your breasts creates unbalance.
High waisted pants – your legs will look freakishly long and the rest of you freakishly short.
Vertical stripes – you’re tall and slender as it is and vertical stripes just emphasize that fact and make you look out of balance.

Clothing – what shapes to look for
Corduroy Bell Bottom PantsKick flare trousersFlared trousers or jeans - the hems of the trousers will balance out your breasts and you’ll look impossibly tall and curvaceous. Stay away from high waisted pants and jeans and instead opt for mid to low rise.


Silk jersey Issa dressA fitted dress – something that opens up your chest so your breasts don’t seem trapped and emphasises your waist. Other than your breasts you don’t have a lot of curves going on and that just emphasises your breasts. Drapey fabrics are far better as they’ll lovingly hug your hips and again create curves.
Derek Lam cashmere button down tankScoop neck top – along with v necks scoop necks are an essential part of your wardrobe, preferably in knit fabrics. They open neckline will open up the chest area and take the focus off your breasts whilst the rest of the top will hug your waist and emphasise your curves.
Knit giletWaistcoats - anything fitted through your waist is going to both de-emphasize your breasts and create curves. If you don’t like waistcoats try a corset over a shirt although be careful because this will up the sexy quotient enormously.
Draped pattern skirtSkirts in drapey fabric - drapey fabric with hug your hips and legs. The fabric will move sinuously and the hem adds a little extra flip making your hips seem wider and sexier.


Fluted skirtFluted skirt – much like the pants with bell bottoms a fluted skirt, with its flaring hemline, will offset your breasts and make you look tall and curvy. This particular skirt is a more firm fabric but a fluted skirt in a drapey fabric would be even better as the fluidity of the skirt will further emphasize your hips.
Arta jacket berryWide neck jacket or coat - an open neckline is important for anyone with big breasts so make sure the jacket or coat has wide lapels. Buttons underneath the breasts, particularly two buttons as you’re so slender everywhere else, will accommodate your breasts whilst drawing attention to the narrowness of your waist. A flaring skirt or hem will give the illusion of curvyness through your hips.
Jimmy Choo Cosmic suede pumpsStilleto heels – your calves are slender and lean so a thin heel is perfectly complimentary.

Goldine Williams, Chicago Grandma Charged With Burning Grandkids And Forcing Them To Eat Cat Food



Shattering the image of the kind and loving grandmother, a Chicago woman has been charged with burning, biting and beating the very grandchildren she was expected to protect.

Police say the 6-year-old grandson and 5-year-old granddaughter of Goldine Williams, 47, were beaten with items like extension cords and accessories from a Halloween costume, burned with hair irons, scratched, bitten and even forced to eat cat food, the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to ABC Chicago, the abuse took place in October and at a different home than the South Shore apartment where Williams was living at the time of her arrest.

The Department of Children and Family Services said the kids had been taken from their biological mom in 2008 after "sustained claims of abuse and neglect," reports Fox Chicago. DCFS put the two children in Williams' care and worked with her until she was given guardianship in 2011, according to DCFS spokesman Jimmie Whitelow.

The two youngsters are with different relatives now, according to CBS Chicago. Meanwhile, Williams will sit behind bars, held in lieu of $200,000 bond on charges of aggravated battery to a child.
