God in his infinite wisdom gives every generation\u00a0 a great soul of unmatchable courage ,\u00a0 who becomes a human instrument in the hands of God for all round generational impact.
The\u00a0 Okewulonu family in the\u00a0 rustic community of Amaeke Avutu in Obowo local government Area of Imo State, was endowed with such an instrument of God on the\u00a0 15th March, 1957.
That was the\u00a0 day when\u00a0 angels and men welcomed\u00a0 the birth of Chukwuemeka Polycarp into the family of Late Chief Godwin Uchewuba Okewulonu and his wife, late Mrs Agnes Patience\u00a0 Ego di mma.
His parents, late Chief and Mrs Uchewuba Okewulonu\u00a0 were wonderful couple, enterprising and of great repute and influence in Obowo and Umuahia.
Chukwuemeka\u00a0 Polycarp was the first child of his mother and the eldest of his direct siblings.
As a young child with sharp intellect,\u00a0 Chukwuemeka Polycarp started his education carrier at St. Micheal’s Primary School Umuahia.
