N. D. UKACHI ONYEWU
N. D. Ukachi Onyewu (1929 - 2007):

Africanist Scholar and Political Theorist

by

Dr. S. Okechukwu Mezu

"His casual, jovial, forever cheerful and relaxed demeanor however belied a strong and determined mind, unwilling to follow the crowd or compromise principles for the sake of personal aggrandizement. He had no complexes."

Born in Umudulu, Emii, in Owerri North Local Government seventy-eight years ago, Dr. N. D. Ukachi Onyewu was one of the very few enterprising individuals who went to study outside Nigeria in the 1950s. Some (like Bridget Ogbonna and Zita Dozie of Ezeogba, Emekuku) were sent by missionaries to Great Britain, others like Dr. Onyewu, with some Emii communal effort, made it to Washington D.C. (USA) arriving by boat in January of 1955. In this group were the likes of Dr. Osuji of Ezedibia, Dr. B. C. Njoku of Azaraowalla and Fred Konyeaso of Ezeogba (who studied in Canada) all from Emekuku. These pioneers opened the gates to education and overseas studies to a new generation of indigenes (friends and extended relations) from these areas. Whether or not the beneficiaries of their efforts appreciated their sacrifice, history must remember them as some of the pioneers that changed the educational landscape of Owerri North Local Government in Imo State, Nigeria.
