Biography

Mba was born in Sydney, Australia as Nina Emma Gantman to a Russian-Jewish father,[3] Joseph Gantman, and a New Zealand mother, Dorothy.[4] Her father was born in Minsk, and he moved with his family to Germany during the Russian Revolution of 1917.[5] From there he escaped the holocaust by moving to Australia.[6] Nina was one of three children and is survived by her younger sister, Naomi Linda Wickens (nee Gantman), and the youngest of the three, her brother David Evsor Gantman.[7]

She met her husband at a university in Australia and the couple soon left Australia for Nigeria in 1966.[8] She completed a PhD in History at the University of Ibadan and her thesis was later published in 1982. She joined the History Department of University of Lagos where she was a participator and writer in the field of women's history and studies.[2] She contributed to the growth of research and teaching of women's history and studies in the country, opening up the issue of women participation in the historical development of the country.

She was also a columnist for Vanguard Newspaper and wrote a column titled "Insider/Outsider".

In 2001, in recognition of her achievements, Mba was conferred with the chieftaincy title Odu of Umudei in Anambra State.[9]

She died in 2002 after a short illness.
