Ojukwu's Will, Bianka gets the lion share.

=Unknown daughter tops list of children
From PETRUS Obi, Enugu
Controversy followed the late Igbo leader, Dim
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, yesterday, as his
much-talked about Will was read in Enugu yesterday,
where he named an unknown woman as one of his
children. Other shockers were the non-mention of
Sylvester Ojukwu, who had dragged the Ojukwu family to
court for preventing him from performing

the ‘dust-to
dust’ rites at the late Ojukwu’s burial, in his Will as well
as the willing of only one property, in Umudim, Nnewi, to
Emeka Ojukwu Jr.
In the Will, read by the Chief Registrar, Enugu Judiciary
and probate registrar, Mr. Dennis Ekoh, Ojukwu
apportioned the lion’s share of his estate to his wife,
Bianca. He also appointed Bianca, the late Igwe of
Oraukwu, Emeka Ojukwu and James Chukwuneme as
trustees and executors of the documents. The Will
stated that only the eight listed people should be
regarded as Ojukwu’s children.
They are: Teni Harman, Emeka Ojukwu, Mmegha, Okigbo,
Ebele, Chineme, Afam and Nwachukwu. Bianca, who
arrived the Enugu High Court premises in a black Prado
Jeep at 8:30a.m, could not hide her surprise when the
strange name of Teni was mentioned among Ojukwu’s
children, as she started whispering with family
members, who were in the registrar’s office with her.
She was all smiles later, as the will awarded her
Ojukwu’s Enugu mansion ‘Casabianca,’ located at No 7
Forest Crescent, GRA, Enugu, which also was named
after her. Also, the controversial position of the late
Ikemba, in the Ojukwu Transport Limited, was
transferred to her and kids.
According to the Will, “Bianca and her children should
take over my place at my transport…She may also wish
to appoint somebody to represent her at the board….”
Bianca also got two property located at Plot 20 Jabi,
Abuja, with Certificate of Occupancy number 4405 as
well as another property located at Kuje, Abuja. Ojukwu
also willed all personal effects, money and cars to
Bianca and her children. He also allotted to Bianca two
hectares of land at Umuezeani, Umudim Nnewi, if she
doesn’t remarry. Ojukwu’s strange daughter, Teni, was
allotted Jubilee Hotels, Zaria.
However, when the codicil was read, it was observed
that the hotel had been sold, thus she would receive the
proceed from the sale. Ojukwu further willed a hectare
of land each to all his daughters. He willed a landed
property at the traffic light area, in Nnewi, to Afam and
directed that his Nnewi property should “remain a
binding legacy to us for generations to come.” He willed
all his interest at 56 Onwudiwe Street, Enugu as well as
his interest in his mother’s plot at Thinkers Corner,
Enugu to his nephews, Tom and Robert Bigga.
The late Ikemba directed that every other remaining
property, apart from those mentioned in the Will, should
be managed by his trustees, who will have the right to
dispose of them, to offset any debt in his name,
including debts that may have arisen from his burial.
None of Ojukwu’s children was present at the
registrar’s office when the Will was read yesterday.
Family members were however, urged to apply for
copies of the Will as well as the codicil, which was
prepared by Barr. Emeka Onyemelukwe on December 16,
2009.
When reporters sought his comments on the content of
the Will, Bianca declined comments in some and just
said a little in others. When asked for comments about
Teni, whose name was listed as one of Ojukwu’s
children, Bianca refused to answer questions from
newsmen. On her nomination to replace her husband in
the Ojukwu Transport Company, she simply said: “God
is able.
