Bianca Ojukwu and Onyemelukwe are playing games with my father’s Will –Emeka Jr
The heir of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Emeka Jr., yesterday debunked the defence put up by Mr. Emeka Onyemelukwe that all family members were invited before the late Ikemba Nnewi’s Will was read. Emeka Jr said both Onyemelukwe and Ambassodor Bianca Ojukwu were playing games with the wishes of his father.

However, addressing newsmen in Nnewi yesterday, Emeka Jr said: “The issue is not about struggling for property. We, his (late Ikemba’s) children are all doing well. It is about a blatant attempt to subvert the wishes of my father. It’s a matter of principle.

Monalisa Chinda's ex-husband's estranged wife, Lamide, reveals why she packed out
I met Dejo on Facebook in 2009. In 2010 we became very close and started talking on the phone. I didn't know anything about him and in 2010 I was in Nigeria on holiday but we didn't get to meet. While in Nigeria I got to hear he was married to Monalisa Chinda. When I got back to the US I did Google his name and I saw the whole story about his marriage. At that point we were already very close and used to talk a lot. Due to the fact that we were very close, I asked him about what I read about him on the internet and he confessed that he was married and didn't talk about it because we didn't have the chance to talk. I asked him what he did wrong and why he was so violent to his wife. All these questions I asked because we were already very close and he started explaining how he met the lady in London and brought her back to Nigeria to become an actress. He stated that things started going wrong when she became a Globalcom ambassador and she started misbehaving. Infact he told me he was not legally married but they work together.

The cleric said this on Sunday during the first anniversary of the church in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
