“Chief-Okechukwu onyijiji, a man with a heart of Gold, is one of the most powerful men I have heard his name from childhood growing up in the village.
Right after Dr. Ifesinatchi Okechekwu handed me over to Sir Bob Agbonye, an Mbaise Icon, My story continued, he drove downtown LA and said we are going to make sure you are taken care of and I have only one place in mind. I ended up with a household name in my community-
I have never experienced the level of hospitality I enjoyed which became home away from home for me. It was as though God already prepared someone to watch over me as I got handed by the First elected female National President of Enugu USA.”
