From Kokolet to Diplomat’s Wife – Koko Mansion’s Chioma Akuezue reportedly marries Consul General of Germany in Nigeria

Chioma Akuezue Walter von den Driesch  - February 2013 - BellaNaija002
You may remember Chioma Akuezue as the cute aspiring musician from D’banj‘s 2009 reality TV show “Koko Mansion“. When Chioma signed up for Koko Mansion, she shared her previous struggles yet emphasized her focus on her goals and values. According to her, many people had tried but failed to take advantage of her under the guise of helping her with her career, “I want to be a superstar, but not at the expense of my integrity”, she said.

Chioma made a good impression in the house but was evicted as she was deemed “too quiet” compared to the other contestants.

The ex-musician made the news this week as she was introduced as the wife of the head of mission for the Federal Republic of Germany Consulate in Lagos, Consul General Walter L. von den Driesch. This was during an official visit Ekiti State where the Consul General met with Governor Kayode Fayemi and other state officials in Ado Ekiti.

Many were surprised by the introduction as no news of their wedding had been announced prior to this time.

Other than a few red carpet appearances, Chioma has kept a low profile since she left the Koko Mansion house. She enrolled in a professional course with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and worked as a Key Account Manager for Lufthansa in Nigeria. Walter von den Driesch is a career diplomat who has worked in various parts of the world.

Congrats to the couple!

      nice one

    • ihuoma February 2, 2013 at 4:11 PM

      Well well she made something of herself after the show….nice but. Nne if u r reading this please dress for success u know like u own it people will take u seriously. Whether her hubby is complaining or not we judge people by appearance. This her dressing her just says she got. Him by “runs” which could be false since she worked for luufthansa and tinzzz….lol anyways u go girl believe u won’t dull ur people tho ;)

    • Nma February 2, 2013 at 4:16 PM

      This people too like slim girls, what happened to thick babes ehhh?

      • Ji mama February 4, 2013 at 7:12 PM

        You mean fat babes? Nigerians definition of thick is the kind of fat that almost leans towards obesity. A name which I wouldnt call is considered thick/curvy simply because her waist is smaller but she is fat. Oluchi is skinny/lean but if she said she was slim..some people will almost bite her head off. Embrace whatever size you want but one shouldn’t live in denial. Whatever floats your boat. :-)

        Anyway, Chioma no try with this her out of place outfit and hair. Wrong for the occasion. I am yet to see a Nigerian male/ female marry a physically attractive white person.

    • Nok10 February 2, 2013 at 4:21 PM

      Hustler, lol! But she should have dressed accordingly na and follow protocol. She kinda looks like a runs girl. A longer dress would suffice.

    • ogags February 2, 2013 at 4:26 PM

      This babe tho,I remember her wella in Koko mansion u be correct gal jor

    • i no send February 2, 2013 at 4:27 PM

      lovely girl ..i know she’s young but i agree that for a formal meeting with a governor she should have worn something more formal..congrats girl

    • Meme February 2, 2013 at 5:44 PM

      What the hell is she wearing?

    • Edmond-joe February 2, 2013 at 6:15 PM

      She is looking good and no prob with her dressing let her be its her style

    • BC February 2, 2013 at 6:37 PM

      I believe her name has changed now, right? Except they aren’t married already.

      • bukky February 5, 2013 at 12:17 AM

        What if she didnt change her last name?

    • timi February 2, 2013 at 7:02 PM

      pretty girl. but she needs a class in appropriate dressing asap.

    • Teefah (www.that1960chick.com) February 2, 2013 at 7:36 PM

      Good for her
      But I cannot believe she wore that for an official meeting with state officials
      And the hair OMG!
      Someone get this woman a knee length dress, it can be fitted and still sexy but what she has on now is such a fail for the occasion

    • ifemi February 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM

      She’s very beautiful.

    • Bey February 2, 2013 at 8:09 PM

      Ode How Did u know she married for money..Guess yuh a Diamond Digger too. Cox Birds of the same feathers Know themselves ewu

    • kay February 2, 2013 at 8:27 PM

      I agree that one’s dressing should be appropriate for an event but she’s new to it she will learn eventually!But for you guys saying runs and all that crap if perchance she did marry him for money he didnt marry her cos she’s ugly or obesed either!! She’s young and hot and beautiful and that didnt hurt in his choice of marrying her.

      • mims February 2, 2013 at 8:42 PM

        Kay.. You have spoken well… Money is an added advantage. she’s lucky. those that say it’s runs… go and run your own. lol

        • Nwanyieze February 4, 2013 at 11:30 AM

          Thank you for informing them.

      All you jealous b****ches should just get out. Is it your gold, that she is digging, or it is your brothers gold that she is digging, or the owner of the gold is complaining that she is digging it. Look at their mouths, as if if you had the opportunity, you will not jump at it, or if the man as married as he is comes to toast you, you wont jump at it. We know all your types, chasing after married men. I just laugh when people talk about “gold diggers”, as if the people they married had been jazzed, they didn’t go into it with their eyes open. A man who has accumulated wealth, or done well for himself career wise, will not be stupid or foolish to just marry a “gold digger” if he too is not getting something out of it. Women please take several seats. It is s a symbiotic relationship. Both parties are benefitting. If she is digging, bros has given her the Master Card to dig, and there’s something she is fulfilling too in his life. So unless he came to you to complain. Shut up. Be there be envying. The small girl there has a red passport, and is enjoying the lifestyle, the honour and respect accorded to a diplomats wife

      • Mz Socially Awkward.... February 3, 2013 at 12:04 AM

        WOW. Honestly, in 2013, we need to stop the women-upon-women violence. I mean, who needs men to put us down when we’re so capable of doing that to our own selves?

        “You jealous b****ches”, “Women please take several seats”? Really??? What makes you so certain, so determinedly sure that it’s only women leaving negative comments here? Take nich for example who’s made his stereotypically narrow-minded stance known above; just about any regular visitor to BN knows he’s a boy (I won’t even deign to call him a man) but in your mind, it’s only women that post derogatory statements like that on these pages because, and to paraphrase your own statement, said women would jump at the opportunity to be toasted by the groom in question, afterall “[You] know [our] types, chasing after married men.”

        Interesting but very sad… I’m honestly praying that somewhere in your own future, you don’t get repeatedly whacked by the same yardstick that you’ve measured all of your own sex against.

    • fatty February 3, 2013 at 6:49 AM

      love you girl, haters go and die. I have friend who married her rich white boss, he was assigned to the company from Europe and the first day at work he saw her, he told the person introducing the staff that he has found his soul mate, he pursued her endlessly for 3yrs even after he was posted out of the country, she refused to marry him because of what people will say. But now they are married and with 2 kids, its 8yrs now. People need to change their mentality, because not all inter racial marriages are based on money.

    • Aduke February 3, 2013 at 6:51 AM

      Beautiful girl!…Happy for u and all the BEST!

    • Mma February 3, 2013 at 6:18 PM
    • Adeola February 3, 2013 at 9:33 PM

      She is pretty ,all thoes yelling about gold diggingd should relax oh! Diplomat na civil servant! She needs to step up her style game to a less girly one as a diplomat’s wife’s attitude and dressing reflects on him, word of advice dear ,think structured dresses ,midi or knee , strategic brooches silk scarves . Clutches. After hours you can do what you will but in public events its a different ballgame

    • Tosin February 3, 2013 at 10:14 PM

      She doesn’t have to change her name. She doesn’t have to dress like Angela Maerkel either. Different strokes for different folks.

    • somzie February 4, 2013 at 12:43 AM

      i am with nich on this one too! its da same ol’ story. our women will do anything for the paper and a secure lifestyle and then they wonder why dey get played ova and ova again.

      Most naija men know the game, use the cane, twist their brains, cos ‘em shame n watch em complain again n again.

      its da same ol’ same. anotha brotha just sayin’…….

      • Teni February 4, 2013 at 5:46 PM

        She married the guy. It’s not like it’s a fling so what’s the issue here?

      • Don't Judge February 4, 2013 at 7:10 PM

        • Ndidiamaka February 7, 2013 at 4:53 AM

          “Convulse and vibrate!” ROFLMNNO!!! nwannananananana! I laugh in Igbo! Nne eh, if you see as guys were insulting me when my Romanian friend and I used to hang out in my school days eh?! It was so bad! & the guy was happily in love with this Naija/Russian chick back in London so there was ZERO going on between us! Razzness! I know first hand how Naija guys will just turn ayamatanga overnight once there is any single breeze abi na hurricane of man that is not naija hanging around their girls, even if the guy is another African man from say Ghana or Senegal! These same guys will be the ones parading their “fine” babes from other countries/continents. Just so double standard!!!

    • adelegirl February 4, 2013 at 4:13 PM

      Haba! We have become so cynical in this country. I mean, give her the benefit of doubt now, considering that she maintained on Koko House (or whatever it’s called) that she wasn’t willing to become a superstar at the expense of her integrity and was eventually voted out for being “too quiet” (meaning she wasn’t acting ratchet), who says this couldn’t have been a love match like one of those BN puts up on BN Weddings? Even if she didn’t marry for love, these days how many people really truly marry for love? Some people get married to foster a partnership and because they have reasoned that it will be a sensible mutually beneficial partnership. At the end of the day, that’s what marriage is – a partnership. Let’s not forget that marriages of yore, which tend to last longer than “modern” marriages were based on sensible reasons or were arranged also based on objective reasons, not anything frivolous like love

      Only thing I frowned at a bit was her inappropriate attire for a state visit. Even Carla Bruni, when she married Sarkozy, toned down her style and dressed more befitting of her husband’s office. Except perhaps, she was caught unawares and didn’t realise she would be attending a state function.

      Anyway, Chioma looks like a nice sort, so please leave her alone and stop slating her based on uniformed speculations.

      Even some of the people who wish this couple the best,cant help themselves but include some spiteful,jealous bad-minded comments.WHY?
      Just find your own partner now.Its not that hard,all you have to do is stop wishing others what you wouldnt want for yourselves.
      Nijah sef. Una too know.

    • kankey February 4, 2013 at 9:22 PM

      I am ashamed for you all…can a girl not just marry whoever for whatever reason?

    • Dayo February 4, 2013 at 11:35 PM

      Congrats to the couple!

      They each got something out of the union: in purely physical terms, the man has married above his league; while in social terms, the kokolet has married above hers. God luck.

    • Sylvia February 4, 2013 at 11:39 PM

    • Graco February 5, 2013 at 12:24 PM

      Aww. I just love, love. So if that’s what she found i’m soooo happy for her. Heck..people marry for different reasons so what’s the problem? Diff strokes, diff folks. Race, gender, money…none of these can guarantee happiness. I wish her happiness, cos its a great thing to be happy and at peace.
