Dr. Onyekwere Jideofor Ransomed a.k.a Son of the Kingdom was
born into the family of Chief Onyekwere Felix Ugwa in Onoli, Awgu Town in Awgu
Local Government Area of Enugu State of Nigeria on 5th September, 1986. He had
his Nursery Education at Presentation Nursery School, Awgu. Thereafter, he was
enrolled into Community Primary School, Awgu for his primary education, a
school which was headed by his father. He was the fifth child of his parents. A
quiet and obedient child who enjoyed staying at home to help his mother and
older siblings in domestic activities. During his early primary school days, he
mingled with his peers in childhood plays and adventures with little or no time
for studies until he was motivated by his father who planted in him the seed of
desire for academic excellence. Driven by this passion, he began to pay much
greater interest to his studies both in reading and in writing which marks the
beginning of his academic excellence evidenced by a dramatic change in the
position he used to take in the class, from 25th position to 4th position.
As a means of demonstrating his scholarly
tendency, he had written a letter to his father at primary four, whose content
and grammatical expression displayed a great deal of intellectual maturity
beyond his academic age. At primary four, he had already built a template for a
formidable intellectual prowess as he never contested with anyone for the first
position in the class. He had represented the school on several inter-school quiz
competitions for which he won different awards and trophies.
On November, 1999, he was enrolled into
the College of the Immaculate Conception (C.I.C), Uwani, Enugu for his
secondary education where he continued to exude academic excellence and moral
discipline. He had maintained the first position from the beginning of his
secondary education to the end and was revered by his contemporaries who
esteemed him to be a rare intellectual genius. He had won the scholarship award
of the Old Boys Association of the school as the overall best student in class
three and class five.
At class five, choosing between science
and art class was almost challenging as the young lad was both arts and science
inclined. He knew arts slightly more than science. At class four, his scores in
Literature, History, Government,
Economics and Christian Religious knowledge ranges between 94 - 100% . However,
due to the popularity of science in their days, he opted for a science class.
In the pursuit of science career, Dr Onyekwere
J. R gained admission into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) to study
medicine. He had his undergraduate clinical training at the University of
Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu. He is multi-talented. In
addition to being a dedicated medical doctor, he is an enthusiatic preceptor
imbued with deep sense of pedagogical ingenuity. His style of teaching has the
propensity to awaken the sleeping intellectual faculty in every student that
comes within his tutelage. He has taught a myriad of students who
are now swimming in the ocean of intellectual affluence. He is a gifted writer
who has written several smashing books both for academic and literary purposes.
An artist that takes pleasure in drawing and painting. A great motivator with
inherent ingenuity in stimualting the young academics towards maximizing their
intellectual potentialities. Moreover, he is a Godfearing gentleman imbued with honesty, hardwork and generosity which form the
framework of his personality.
