      On Friday, January the 10th, 2020, the OCI Foundation joined the family of the late His Royal Majesty, the Traditional Ruler of Ikem Nando, the late Igwe Bernard Eze-Okafor (Eze Uzu the 1st), in mourning and celebrating the final “Ofala” Festival and farewell for the Monarch. The OCI Foundation was represented by its IT Officer, Mr Peter Okolie, and the Media Consultant, Mrs Njide Ezeonyejiaku.

      The event was hosted by Prince Uche Eze-Okafor, the first son of the late Igwe, and attended by many other other traditional rulers and dignitaries from Anambra North Senatorial District of Anambra State, Nigeria.

      The late Monarch was a true friend of the OCI Foundation, and endorsed our educational activities in the short time we related with him. Along with other Igwe’s from Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria, he graced the 2nd Edition of the IFOMSSA Awards Ceremony that was held on March 20th, 2018, at Aguleri, Anambra State, Nigeria.

      Two of the Igwe’s sons were also beneficiaries of the OCI Foundation’s Cyfed Undergraduate Awards in 2018. They are Mr Kingdom Alexander Okafor and Mr Bernard Okafor (Junior). Their Testimonials on receiving the Cyfed Scholarships can be found by clicking HERE.


Preserving Nigerian Heritage

Nigeria, known for its rich cultural diversity, is home to over 200 million people representing more than 250 ethnic groups, each with a unique history and lineage. From the ancient Benin Kingdom to the revered Sokoto Caliphate, Nigeria’s historical landscape is woven with stories of resilience, migration, and unity in diversity. Yet, as modernity and urbanization sweep across the nation, many ancestral stories are at risk of fading into obscurity.

To prevent this, the mission of our platform is clear: to become Nigeria’s largest repository of genealogical records, preserving the legacies of every Nigerian family for future generations.

Why Genealogy Matters in Nigeria

Genealogy, the study of family history and ancestry, provides a profound sense of identity and connection to one’s roots. In Nigeria, where family lineage and heritage have always been paramount, tracing ancestry connects individuals to their communities, cultures, and shared values.

This connection fosters a sense of pride in one's heritage and provides a deeper understanding of Nigeria's collective history. Genealogy also plays a critical role in resolving personal questions about ancestry, such as understanding cultural practices, inheritance traditions, and even answering questions about ancestral migrations and kinship.
