Late Osuji Aja Nwokoro

Pa in his Umuogbuna family was a blessing to them and this made many of them to name their sons after him as their way of appreciating him for his good gestures towards them in the like Abaah okoro, Njoku Una, Egwuatu okoro, He married 6 wives, lived with three and today survived by two. God blessed the marriage with many children, numerous grandchildren, great- grandchildren and great- great grand children, in -laws, relations.

He was both a professor and senior consultant in the discipline, knowledge and field of Uburu culture, tradition and history. There is in no single tradition, culture and history of Uburu that he did not know, practice and teach to letter. Any issues that bothers on the culture, tradition and history, Ndi Uburu consults him from fourteen villages in Uburu.

He practiced the culture and traditions of Uburu to the letter such as Ohuneri tittle
Ohu-nuu ji tittle

Igbu inyinya title- this he did to all his children and families.
Iko Njoku ji culture
Ikwa madu tradition- which he did for both his father and mother
His cultural personality was so pronounced that he had a specially designed Ukara cloth .
By Providence since 2018 he became the eldest man in uburu (ogirinya Uburu). This was confirmed by a woman who was sent by the Ndi icha ( uburu ancestors) to the Uburu Traditional Rulers Council at the palace of peace, Egu- Ugwu Umunaga
He ventured into many businesses and among which are Palm wine tapping, provision store, Farming, Domestic animal keeper and seller, kiakia (Dry gin) and Okaiyi seller, Yam and Rice Trader,
He was a chief priest ,War Lord, Wrestler, Crusader, Foot Soldier.
The transition of Osugbuna nwebuna,the veteran war Lord, Osuji Aja Nwokoro unto glory is a huge loss for uburu tradition and culture truth, honesty, and justice with no replacement.
