To say the least, the late Mrs Concepta Enyioma Iwuoha (nee Uwaoma Agwemba) lived an exemplary life and those who knew her have all testified to that fact. For those who never met the woman in question closely when she was alive, below is an insight into her life.

According to the facts Umuaka Times gathered, the late Concepta Iwuoha was born a New Year baby. She was born on January 1, 1967 to the family of Umuoma Agwemba of Umuakpuro Amiyi in Umuakadi Ancient Kingdom in the present day Umuaka Ebe Iri of Njaba L.G.A State. She was enrolled into St. Paul Primary School, Amiyi Umuaka where her primary school education began. Around 1974, she was taken to Zaria in the present day Kaduna State by her elder brother, Mr. Aloysius Uwaoma to continue her primary school education which she completed in 1981.


After the completion of her primary school education in Kaduna State, she came back to Umuaka Imo State to begin the second phase of her education. She enrolled at Akajaku Commercial Academy Uba Umuaka. In 1987, she completed the commercial education and officially signed out from the school and went to Lagos, on the invitation of her cousin, the late Mr Ezenwa Iwu who was known as Eze Tony. The reason for being taken to Lagos, Umuaka Times learnt was to undergo apprenticeship for a certain minimum of years in hairdressing.

When her mother was informed that she had completed her hairdressing apprenticeship, she sent for her to come home so that she too would also impact into her, the native intelligence, education and Christian values she needed to make herself a complete woman.

She was overseeing the activities of GC Archland building materials and POP.

According to the advice from the Jamaican Reggae icon, Bob Marley, Mrs Iwuoha did her best to emancipate herself from mental slavery. One certain evening, she informed her husband of her decision to acquire more academic education and immediately the husband gave his blessings. She was then admitted into the University of Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State where she studied Political Education and graduated with Second Class Upper Division in 2011.
