Not many are aware that former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-kayode and former beauty queen, Mrs Bianca Onoh were heading for the altar in the late 80’s, but the wheels of their love life was clogged by an unexpected event.
Bianca Odinaka Olivia Onoh, the sixth child of Late Chief Christian Chukwuma Onoh, the second republic governor of the of the old Anambra state, had met Femi Fani-kayode while she was studying for her A- levels in Cambridge Tutorial College. The latter was also attending the University of Cambridge for his Master’s Degree programme in law.
Sources revealed that the beauty was already a queen before they met.
Bianca had won the MISS MARTINI, a beauty pageant organized by the beverage company known as Martini Rossi, while schooling at Yorkshire in England. Then, Femi, whose father was the second Queen’s Counsel{Senior Advocate of Nigeria} that Nigeria produced, was finishing his Master’s programme, while Bianca was settling down for her combined honours degree in Politics, Economics and Law at the University of Buckingham.
The two later found each other in Nigeria. While Femi had finished the youth service programme, Bianca had also transferred to the University of Nigeria, Nzukka, where her father had compelled her to study law. Late Chief C.C Onoh, a lawyer and expert in land matters had genuinely and strongly guided his children into reading law.
Later, as the current Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain was done with her programme and out of the university, the former aide to ex-President Obasanjo was getting set to join his father’s law chamber. Around this time, another lady, Miss Saratu Attah had equally found a place in Femi’s heart. She soon got pregnant for him. The pregnancy of Saratu Attah, whose father, Alhaji Adamu Attah, was the second republic governor of Kwara State, reportedly set the relationship between Femi and Bianca on the edge of ruins.
Sometime in 1997, at the wedding anniversary of Ide Ahaba, Chief Sonny Odogwu in Asaba, Delta State, Bianca, who was already married and equally expecting her first child then, had told a frontline celebrity journal, when she was asked about his botched marriage plans with Femi Fani-kayode that “it [the marriage] was not meant to be… I met FFK in London and we both dreamt of having a beautiful home, but things didn’t work our way. I know that he’s married now,” she said.
The marriage plans collapsed because Femi had impregnated Saratu, who later gave birth to Folake, the first child of Femi Fani-kayode, who now holds a Master’s degree in law. Bianca went on with her law programme and later joined her father in his chambers.
However, our source did not provide further on the level of intimacy between Bianca and FFK. We were told that such is left for the duo of Bianca and Fani Kayode to disclose.
