WE THE NWOKEJIS' ARE DESCENDANTS OF NWOKEJI IBEAKAOKWU OF ERIM VILLAGE, AKUMA TOWN, ORU-EAST LGA , IMO STATE. NIGERIA. NWOKEJI HIMSELF MARRIED SO MANY WIVES AS IT WAS THE TRADITION IN THOSE DAYS AND GAVE BIRTH TO SO MANY CHILDREN , GRAND CHILDREN AND GREAT GREAT GRAND CHILDREN.

THOUGH WE CANNOT REALLY SAY WHAT THE FAMILY POPULATION IS BUT WE ARE SURE TO BE ABOVE 800 PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP THE NWOKEJIS'.
THE NWOKEJIS' HAVE PRODUCED MANY PROUD PEOPLE IN THE FORM OF PROFESSIONALS, BUSINESS MEN/WOMEN AND OTHERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE SOCIETY . GENERALLY WE ARE KNOWN TO BE PROUD AND STUBBORN BUT VERY COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE. THE NWOKEJIS' CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD ESPECIALLY IN NIGERIA WITH THE HIGHEST POPULATION AND THEN FOLLOWED BY EUROPE AND AMERICA WITH A CONSIDERABLE HUGE POPULATION ALSO.

THE NWOKEJIS' LOVE THEIR FAMILY WITH A PASSION AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP EACH OTHER AND PROTECT THE FAMILY NAME. THE PRIDE THAT COMES WITH THAT NAME CAN EVEN BE NOTICED IN THE NWOKEJIS' OF YOUNG AND OLD AS THEY HAVE A WAY OF CARRYING THEIR PRIDE WHERE EVER THEY GO.

FAMILY MEMBERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NWOKEJIS' AND EVEN IF YOU ARE BLOODLY CONNECTED TO THE NWOKEJIS' SOMEHOW, YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE REGARDED AS A CORE FAMILY MEMBER.

FREINDS AND INLAWS ARE AS DEAR TO THE NWOKEJIS' AS THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO. GENERALLY NWOKEJIS' ARE ONE AND SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR STRENGHT. WE ALSO HAVE THE WILL TO STRUGGLE FOR SUCCESSES IN LIFE AS THIS CAN BE NOTICED WHEN YOU VISIT THE DIFFERENT NWOKEJIS' FAMILIES BOTH IN NIGERIA AND ABROAD. NO MATTER WHAT ALL NWOKEJIS' REGARD ERIM AKUMA, ORO-EAST LGA, IMO STATE AS OUR FINAL RESTING PLACE AND THE REAL HOME.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BROWSE THROUGH OUR SITES, MORE INFO WOULD BE UPDATED ON OUR WEBSITES REGULARLY. PLEASE USE THE IMAGE LINKS BELOW TO HAVE A FEEL OF OUR FAMILY WEBSITES.
THANKS
