About Andrew Ogbonna Foundation

Andrew Ogbonna Foundation

AO was born into the family of Chikwendu Ikegwu and his wife Akaji (nee Ibekwe) from Amaogwugwu Ohuhu in the present day Umuahia North LGA of Abia State.

His grandfather Ikegwu Ibeji was an only surviving child who was the youngest of six siblings made up of one girl and five boys. Ikegwu Ibeji had three sons, Chikwendu and his brothers Nwadinobi and Job. The recounting of his lineage is important because events in the life of AO would clearly prove the credence to the belief among the Igbos that “one’s name has a lot to do with destiny,” as name Chikwendu which translates to “God permits life and existence” clearly seemed to have guided and protected him in his journey through life.
