In 1988, Bianca Ojukwu, know as Bianca Ono, emerged as the most beautiful girl in Nigeria beauty pageant.
She also won Intercontinental pageants title in 1989
She became internationally recognized after these series of notable achievements.
However, in 1989, she decided to resign as the Most Beauty girl in Nigeria, to focus on her education after rumors made round that she was involved in a romantic relationship with Biafran warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
This controversial romance became a serious point of reference in the early 1900s, especially as it was rumored that She was pregnant for the warlord.
Neither Warlord Ojukwu, nor Beauty Queen Bianca debunked the news.
The beauty Pageant organizers, Silverbird, became very angry because, according to their policy, Title holders of the most Beauty Girl in Nigeria, were not allowed to engage in public love affairs during their tenure.
Beauty Queen forfeited her crown, despite not acknowledging or debunking her affairs with Ojukwu at the time.
The romantic relationship between the Warlord and Beauty Queen, was however set for failure as Bianca’s Father Christian Chukwuma Ono AKA Sisi Ono was a political Ally of Warlord Ojukwu.
Sisi Ono, A former governor of Anambra State, greatly opposed his daughter’s affair with Warlord Ojukwu.
Beauty Pageant Queen Bianca, got married to Her Warlord heartthrob, after graduating from law school, at University of Nigeria Nsukka, in an exotic wedding ceremony held in Abuja on 12th November 1994, against all odds. At the time, she was 27 years old, while Warlord Ojukwu was in his 50s.
Since her parents did not approve the wedding, they bypassed the traditional rites of marriage and procedded to celebrating just Church wedding in a Roman Catholic church.
Beauty Queen, Bianca’s parents, boy gave their blessings years later, after they came to terms with the couple’s love for each other.
Sisi Ono, Beauty Queen Bianca’s father, later requested an almost impossible bride price of 100 per independence copper coin.
In 2001, the traditional marriage finally took place. By the time, the couple already had three children together.
The couple were married for 17 years, before Warlord Chukwuemema Odumegwu Ojukwu passed away after a brief illness on 26th November 2011, in the United kingdom, at 78 years old.
