Chinyere Ngonadi is one of the most celebrated female
personalities within the Nigeria social circuit. This lady, who goes by the
sobriquet, Big Chi, was a top official in the Nigeria Custom and Excise. For
many years, she held sway in Tin Can, Apapa, Lagos. Big Chi was reported to
have made quite a fortune during this period. Her closeness to Kofo Olugbesan,
a former top official in the Custom, also helped to accelerate her rise within
the system. Before she retired, Olugbesan, who was the highest female official
in the Custom, was Big Chi’s god-mother. But somehow, some forces within Custom
felt uncomfortable with Big Chi’s lifestyle, which was expressly portrayed
through her voracious appetite for attending parties. Before long, this ‘cabal’
moved against her and ensured that she got demoted from her position. Big Chi
was then moved from Lagos to Calabar, and this later affected her strong
inclination to socialize. Subsequently, Big Chi decided to retire, having found
it hard to cope with her demotion. From what has been seen of her lately, she
appears to be enjoying her life in retirement.
