ORANYELUEZE I OF AWGBU
The Igbo Think-Home Development Initiative (Igbo Economic Initiative) receives with profound sorrow the news of the passing of Chief Sir Dr. Okey Ezeibe, MFR, Oranyelueze I of Awgbu, a distinguished son of Awgbu, a respected leader of Ndi Old Aguata, and a notable figure in the economic and community development affairs of Anambra State.
His passing is a great loss to his immediate family, Ndi Awgbu, Orumba North and South, the Old Aguata Union, Anambra State and, indeed, the wider Igbo community.
Chief Sir Dr. Okey Ezeibe was more than an accomplished individual; he was a man whose life reflected enterprise, resilience, leadership, generosity and service to humanity.
Through his contributions to business and enterprise, he created opportunities and supported the livelihoods of many people. Through his community leadership and public engagement, he contributed to the advancement of unity, empowerment and development. His wisdom, generosity and commitment to the wellbeing of others earned him the respect and affection of many who encountered him.
For the Igbo Think-Home Development Initiative, his life and legacy also remind us of the importance of our philosophy:
THINK-HOME • INVEST-HOME • BUILD-HOME
A man who invests in people, creates opportunities, builds enterprises and contributes to the development of his community leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond his lifetime.

Awgbu has lost an illustrious son.
Orumba has lost a respected community pillar.
Old Aguata has lost a distinguished voice.
Anambra has lost a notable son.
Ndigbo have lost a man whose contributions and personal relationships touched many lives.
At this solemn moment, we extend our deepest condolences to the Ezeibe family, Ndi Awgbu, the people of Orumba North and South, the Old Aguata Union, friends, associates and all who mourn this painful loss.
We pray that the Almighty God will grant the family and the entire community the strength and fortitude to bear this great loss.
May the memories of his life, his enterprise, his generosity and his service continue to inspire those he left behind.
As our people say:
«“Aka nri kwoo aka ekpe, aka ekpe akwoo aka nri.”
The right hand washes the left, and the left hand washes the right.»
May the legacy of Chief Sir Dr. Okey Ezeibe continue to remind us that the strength of our homeland is built through the contributions of individuals who invest their talents, resources and wisdom in their people.
Adieu, Oranyelueze I of Awgbu.
