On This Day in 1994: Ojukwu Married Bianca.
In 1989, several months after winning the Nigerian version of Miss Intercontinental, Bianca Onoh opted to resign rather than end it, after it emerged that she was in a relationship with Biafran leader,
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a political associate of her father who was 34 years her senior, a certain tabloid falsely reported that she was pregnant. Although the couple never confirmed or denied the affair until their wedding on November 12, 1994.
The pageant organisers, Silverbird Television frowned heavily at it as MBGN holders are restrained from having public love affairs, she decided to relinquish her crown despite not acknowledging or debunking her affair with Ojuwku at the time.
