Ebonyi Governor’s Father Who Married 30 Wives, 108 Children Emerges King by Dapromzy333(m): 9:05am On Dec 10
Chief Ezekiel Nwifuru Nwankpu, father of Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru, has been crowned the traditional ruler of Oferekpe Agbaja Autonomous Community in Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, News360 Nigeria reports.

Ezeogo Nwankpu, renowned for his extensive household, married 30 wives, although some who were unable to bear children eventually left. Currently, he lives with 17 wives and has fathered 108 children.

The newly crowned king is a respected farmer and patriarch. Among his children, 21 have graduated from higher institutions, including Governor Francis Nwifuru, who is one of the children from his fourth wife.

The traditional ruler’s coronation has drawn attention to his unique family structure and his contributions to the community through farming and education.


To rule over 17 villages

Ezeogo Nwankpu is superintending over 17 villages after being decorated as the Chibugo 1 of Oferekpe Agbaja Autonomous Community caved out from Agbaja community in Izzi Local Government Area the governor.

The governor presented a certificate and staff of office to his father, Ezeogo Nwankpu, noting that it was done in line with the law establishing Ebonyi State Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Cap 146.

Speaming at the ceremony, Governor Nwifuru went into memory lane on how the family suffered dejection, intimidation and molestation in the hands of the villagers.

He said they killed his uncle in the village square, and later forcefully acquired their land.

According to him, the land in question is now the primary schools where the father’s coronation took place – Oferekpe Agbaja Primary School II.

He described his father as a hard-working man, noting that he got married to 30 wives, but some of them left because they could not bear any child in the family.

Why my father married 30 wives – Gov Nwifuru

Governor Nwifuru said his father was once humiliated by his relatives, neighbourhoods, and the entire community as he was excelling above his equals due to his prospering farming business.

According to the governor, it was based on his villagers maltreatment or intimidation that isolated his father.

This led him into marrying many wives for companionship and helping hands in pursuit of his dreams as a wealthy farmer.

He described his father as a hospitable man, who loves his wives, children, relatives, and neighbours, adding that currently, 25 out of his children have become graduates.

The governor’s words: “My father is a loving father and husband, who take care of all his children and wives.

“All his wives and children work hard to train themselves in school and that is why we have 25 graduates in my family who struggled to train themselves with the efforts of their mothers.”

The governor advised his father as he ascended the royal stool, to be generous with his subjects, ensuring peace and unity in the community.

He charged his father to be just in discharging his duties as traditional ruler without being vindictive, but to reign in God’s direction and motivation.

Roll call

The Chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Power, Chief Godwin Ogbaga, described the installation of Nwifuru Nwankpu as the traditional ruler of the community as most commendable considering his contributions to societal development, particularly in the Izhi clan.

Ogbaga said the credit for Ezeogo Nwankpu’s coronation goes to his son, who is currently the state governor.

He added that Governor Francis Nwifuru created an enabling environment for the exercise by signing into law the document creating the communities as demanded and approved.

The ceremony attracted who is who within and outside the state, including the former governors of the state, Dr. Sam, Chief Martin Elechi and Senator David Umahi.


Others include the three senators and six House of Reps representing the state at National Assembly.

The state executives council members, local government chairmen, coordinators and other government appointees, among others, were also im attendance.

The Governor's father is a very bad example!
108 children, with only 25 who had to struggle so hard with their mother to put themselves through school.

Thank God his son became the governor, and he's now the king, and I hope with his increased salary and wealth he can support some of his other children through school and trade, which is highly unlikely, as a matter of fact he's most likely to take other wives than supporting the wives and kids he has now.

The father is a very selfish human being, 30 wives for companionship because he was ostracize by the community... This is absurd!

shocked African primitiveness @ its peak while the world is advancing in many fronts. The governor should not be proud of this idiocy.

“All his wives and children work hard to train themselves in school and that is why we have 25 graduates in my family who struggled to train themselves with the efforts of their mothers.”

That's a failure and an irresponsible father. Why give birth to children you refuse to train?

Carry your tribalism and get out from here

What concern obidients with this?

Always talk out of point

Is the Governor in LP or APC?

Even in your village, obidients are there.

Stop seeing everything with tribal sentiment and get a life undecided
