John Odion Ohioze, August 2018
“In Life we shall find many that are great and some that are good, but very few individuals that are great and good”
– Charles Cotton (1630 – 1687)
Let Us Tell You About a Father Like No Other
Affectionately known as “Baame (a term of endearment meaning ‘my father’)”, Odion John Ohioze was the eldest child of Josiah Iboi and Ilekutu Ohioze. His father – Josiah Iboi – was Chief Ohioze Idu’s second son. His mother – Ilekutu – was from Ivbiodohen.
Baame was the eleventh surviving grandchild of Chief Ohioze Idu. He and his twin brother – Omon – were the first set of twins born in the Ohioze family. Baame suffered the loss of his twin brother, Omon, early in life during their teenage years. Baame had four brothers (Ayodele Robert, Eniafe Jim, Uzebu, and Ovbige Joseph) and five sisters (Yetunde, Eniola Yaya, Oense, Ijanmi, and Idelighian). Only two of his siblings (Mrs. Ijanmi Omage and Ovbige Joseph Ohioze) survived him.
