+ Njoku Macdonald Obinna

Accra, The Republic of Ghana

The Republic of Ghana is one of the leading nations in West Africa and across the black continent; as it is endowed with natural resources like: gold, diamond, timber, oil, bauxite, manganese, etc, These natural resources, no doubt, contribute to making Ghana among the wealthier nations in Africa; while its economy remains one of the most stable, sustainable, and successful economies in the region.

Therefore, it is no surprise to see a deluge of Nigerians and other Africans including foreign investors throng to the West Coast not just for business exploits, investment opportunities and tourism, but also for more greener pastures as Ghanaian Cedi towers above many of her contemporaries within the African region.

Among the Igbos and Nigerians living in the Republic of Ghana, who have distinguished themselves in their different fields of endeavors is High Chief Emmanuel Emeka Nnokwute (Ugodinobi I of Umualaoma, Akubueze I of Ghana), the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Emmaco Pharmaceuticals Limited, Emmy Farms Limited, Nnokwute Football Academy Accra, Ghana, who hailed from Umualaoma Community in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria.

Chief Emeka Nnokwute, although from a humble beginning, climbed the rigorous ladder of success by dint of hard work, honesty, determination and focus with a 'never give -up spirit' as God eventually rewarded him with undeniable and all - round successes both in his family, private and public life as a business mogul, philanthropist, respected community leader and sports ambassador.

There is no way a comphrensive list of successful Igbo businessmen and Nigerians who are doing exploits in Ghana will be complete without reckoning with the contributions of the Umualaoma Ideato, Imo- born business mogul and philanthropist, High Chief Emmanuel Emeka Nnokwute (Akubueze l of Ghana), having contributed immensely to the economic development of both the host country, Ghana, and Nigeria at large.

Remarkable to note also, is that his chains of businesses in plumbing materials, welding construction, fabrications, and related business conglomerate also pay taxes into the coffers of the governments while employing a handful of young men and women from the two countries for national productivity and sustainable economic development.

Apart from a number of Igbo young men and women he has practically established in Ghana, back home in his Umualaoma Community in Ideato North LGA, Imo State, Nigeria, Chief E.E. Nnokwute has contributed in no small measures toward the progress and development of the Ideato nation more than many of those parading themselves as leaders in his immediate community where he donated free supply of water and installation of electricity even when he is not a politician or occupies any public office. Indeed, charity runs in the DNA of this kind-hearted man and dangerous giver.

At 51, High Chief Emmanuel Emeka Nnokwute is already a success story. Looking at his track record and attendants in business, sports, philanthropy, selfless community service and other spheres of life, Akubueze l of Ghana has proved beyond every reasonable doubt, by the grace of God, that he is diligent , a responsible father, caring husband, a God fearing christian and committed man who can be trusted and rely on both in private and public sectors.

Chief Nnokwute, who is majorly into pharmaceuticals, farms, welding construction, plumbing materials and football academy, has touched many lives not just in Ghana but across Nigeria where he came from by giving hope to many people through selfless service , direct employment and empowerment programs. Today, there are more than 10 graduates who are direct beneficiaries of his free educational scholarship awards in Ghanian and Nigerian universities.

While he was deprived of good education due to his family background, he made a vow to give his children the best of education and also to outsiders; adopted children whom God has kept under his watch as a good shepherd and father - figure.

In an exclusive interview he was granted by a Nigerian eye -witness reporter and publisher of 4thestatereporters, Njoku MacDonald Obinna , at his palatial mansion in Accra, the Republic of Ghana, the humble, outspoken and cerebral Ideato Imo-born Ghana based successful businessman, Chief E.E. Nnokwute, ceased every opportunity the medium created to recount his growing up from a poor home, his early challenges in life as a business man, the grace of God upon his life, the successes he has recorded and his drive to give back to the society through philanthropy and other humanitarian outreaches.

Tipped by many analysts as the next President of the Imo State Community in Ghana ahead of their elections, High Chief Emmanuel Emeka Nnokwute maintained that it's a call to serve God , Imo people living in Ghana and humanity; not for personal gains as God has already blessed him in all ramifications.

Married to an Amazon of a wife, Pharmacist Julie Nnokwute, the Ghanaian beauty queen and celebrity make -up artiste has complimented her lovely husband by playing duo roles of a wife and business partner to the man loved by his family and ndigbo living in Ghana. And the marriage is blessed with ten beautiful children with over 5 adopted children under his care and benevolence.
