Our Patriarch: Okunwa

Chief Michael Obi Chukwumah, fondly known as Okunwa, was born in 1891 and lived a life marked by leadership, dignity, service, and deep cultural heritage. He passed on to glory on 16th August 1982.

His life continues to inspire generations—his legacy of strength, wisdom, and community stewardship remains the foundation upon which the Okunwa family stands.
