Why I Wont Remarry - Bianca Ojukwu

Bianca Ojukwu, the widow of former Biafran leader, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu and Nigeria Ambassador to Spain has said she won't remarry.

She stated her reasons, in a recent chat with Vanguard.

Here her: " People marry i think because they need to come together, live together, raise a family together. It's a rite of passage and i think i have fulfilled my part.
Why i said that is, i have gone through marriage, lived with what a consider a wonderful man who gave me 23years of happiness, of fulfillment, i literally felt i was the luckiest woman to have had a man who gave me utter dedication and, above all, wonderful children. So my pledge to him is that,  i will devote my entire life to taking care of our children, raising them properly, teaching them ideals that he cherished and held dear and trying to carry on with his legacy. So i don't have any compelling need to remarry and, in any case, my time is very limited; so i am trying to channel it properly towards raising my children."

When asked how she's able to contain romantic advances from men

"Nigerian men are not aggressive; they may be aggressive in business, in their career pursuits, but in that particular area of aggressively pursuing a romantic interest, i have been very impressed by the level of decency and decorum they project. I mean, it might be just my own experience. They have treated me with a lot of respect, defrence - they have been protective in a way as if to say this is a treasure that we must protect. I get on flights, and i see people stand up, take my luggage to my car, they have been amazing. I haven't encountered that sort of pursuit and i have been very touched and humbled by the way they have treated me."
