This is even as he insisted that Ezeship in diaspora is very paramount for Igbo Cultural renaissance and posterity .

Born on March 18, 1976, in Enugwu Ukwu town, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria, Eze Dr Ifekandu’s life is a testament to hard work, dedication, and passion for excellence.

His academic journey began at Holy Ghost Primary School and Government Secondary School, North Bank, Makurdi, Benue State.

His journey into Eze Ndigbo title started in Lagos Island, where due to his large heart and Philanthropy , Oba of Lagos, traders and Igbo residents there gave him the title.

This title was officially cemented by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos Chapter under Chief Solomon Aguene, where he was crowned by  king Makers led by first president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo ,Chief John Uche, popularly known as “Akpatinsiegbe “.

 His humble background, rare achievements, including Ozonkpu title ,as he is fondly called by his peers, Propelled his love for the poor and Indigent People in the society.

 Little wonder he founded the Corporate Work of Mercy Initiative, which he called “Ezendigbo Welfare Foundation “

Speaking in an exclusive interview with our Correspondent in his Palace at the Green Field Estate, he explained that his humble beginning was very difficult, not Rosy, full of early stage hardship , hence his early poor background now motivates him to help the poor .
