PHOTO OF NNAMDI AZIKIWE'S WEDDING TO FLORA OGOEGBUNAM IN 1936

Here is a picture of Nnamdi Azikiwe's wedding to his sweetheart and one-time First Lady of Nigeria, then Miss Flora Ogoegbunam in 1936. The wedding was held in James Town, Accra, Ghana. Hear what foremost historian, Max Siollun has...
to say about the late Zik of Africa: If Zik
had killed himself, there would have been no Nigeria today – period.
He more than anyone else (with the exception of Gowon) is responsible
for the continued unity of Nigeria.
The wife died in 1983 and Zik himself later died in 1996. Actually,
there was a time the great Zik wanted to commit suicide. In the words
of Bimbola Babarinde, an expert on Nigerian history, Zik's early years
in America were so difficult and at one point he attempted suicide by
lying across train tracks and waiting for an oncoming train to crush
him. A good Samaritan saved his life by pulling him off the track with
the train only a few yards from him. Life in America then for a lonely
young African man was terrible, especially with all the
discrimination, segregation and economic depression.
Also, he had other wives and his youngest wife might still be alive at
his Nsukka Onuiyi residence. One of them, Professor Uche Azikiwe is
still alive and is a lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
Enugu State. Flora had four children for him (three males and one
female), the eldest son is named Bamidele and Uche has two. There was
also another late wife named Ugoye who also had two. And a child born
out of wedlock from an English woman, the child was named Jayzik and
is dead. Zik also had a child named Nnaemeka with a woman named Ms.
Nelly Krupp, later Mrs. Mike Ibru (I am guessing that should be Jayzik
because this same Nnaemeka died a year or two ago).
He was a ladies' man and while at Yaba, he was well-known among the
female folk. He had eyes for good-looking ladies and his youngest
wife, Uche was a member of the renowned Afikpo traditional dance named
'Nkwa Nwite' which entertained him when he visited Afikpo. Zik set his
eyes on her and today, the rest is history…

I'm a proud biafran, don't know about you?
