Oyibo and Chief

15. prosince 2006 v 22:55 |  Nigerie
Chief Benedict Mba, an Igbo high chief from Onitsha, got married over 30 years ago, but he did not pick a wife from the East. Neither did he go to the West. Instead, he chose to marry a white Australian, Prof. Nina Mba. She was so fascinated by the Igbo culture that she wrote her Ph.D dissertation on the contemporary Igbo woman in the twentieth century. Sadly, the lady passed away a few years back, after living in Nigeria for more than thirty years. Photographs used for her funeral programme showed her adorned in the full regalia of an Igbo female chief, complete with the huge ivory bangles and beads, identical to those in the Otu Odu society. She is still sorely missed by her children especially Nnenna her daughter, who graduated from University of Lagos Medical College in Idi-Araba a few years back. Nnenna got married to a Yoruba man, not too long ago.
Professor Donatus Nwoga, erudite scholar and writer taught English for many years at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. His Caucasian wife lived with him on campus and showered her husband with support and affection as he climbed the career ladder. Though she is not a Nigerian, she ensured that her children were well schooled in the Igbo culture and language. They were married for many years, until they were separated by death.

Peter Olisaeloka Okocha has an African-American wife, Michelle. Peter, who sits atop Chrismatel Holdings and Sadiq Petroleum, got married to Michelle an American nurse over 17 years ago, and she has been a tower of support in his quest for entrepreneurial excellence. With her watchful eyes and quiet guidance, Peter Eloka Okocha has established more than eight companies, which deal in products ranging from oil to pharmaceuticals. He is the largest majority shareholder in African Petroleum Plc. Their birthdays fall on the same date & they both live in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Professor Aliu Babatunde Fafunwa the former Minister of Education in Nigeria also has an American wife named Doris, and they have been together form more than 34 years. Their daughter Sheri, is a Fulbright scholar married to Okey Ndibe, an accomplished writer from the east.

Black and white, to je hezké dítě a vypadá téměř jako můj syn Oliver
