Nono Elizabeth Ukamaka Chioke was born of Wilfred Ude Eneh and Margaret Nnokwo Eneh, all of blessed memory from Umuoka kindred Amachala village, Obioma. She attended Holy Rosary Primary School, Enugu where she obtained her first school leaving certificate. In those days there were very few girls in Obioma who were attending school, not to speak of reaching to the level of standard six. After primary school, she opted to undertake domestic training because of her early engagement to marry. During 1954, she trained in Onitsha under the tutelage of Mrs. Annah Eneh Nwautazi, a famous seamstress from Obinagu who had an established sewing and domestic training business. She trained there for one year and became proficient not only in sewing but also in other domestic services especially the preparation of appetizing meals. On 9th January, 1955, she got married to His Royal Highness, Igwe (then Mr.) Alexander Ene Chioke at St Theresa’s Catholic Church, Obioma when it was a station under Udi parish. Their union was blessed with six children who have distinguished themselves in their own careers. Nono Chioke lived a life of love for Christianity in true demonstration of the meaning of her second name, Ukamaka (“Church is Good”). Nono Chioke inherited leadership qualities from her father. In 1970, she took over the leadership of Catholic Women Organization, Obioma and led it for several years. In the early 70s, she founded an organization of Obioma women resident in Enugu known as Oso Di Eli Aku and headed it as chairperson for several years. In 1984, she was elected as president of Catholic Women Organization, Holy Ghost Parish, Enugu during the Bishopric of late Right Reverend Bishop Michael Eneje and led the Holy Ghost parish CWO for six (6) years. Her courage as leader was exemplary. Subsequently, she rose to become president of the Catholic Women Organization for Enugu Diocese. As head of the Diocesan CWO, she made so numerous friends among the clergy, the religious and the lay people. It was while she was president of CWO Enugu diocese, that she was selected to join a team of Nigerian Catholics led by Right Reverend Bishop Matthew Kukah (then a Rev. Father), Bishop of Sokoto Diocese who toured Mexico and Brazil and some parts of the United States of America. As a serving president of the CWO Enugu Diocese, she introduced the annual contribution of food items from all parishes under the diocese to distribute to seminaries, old people’s homes and orphanages. She served three unprecedented terms of three years in this post and retired in 1999. Nono Chioke has received numerous awards and certificates for her work in the church and supporting indigent people. In 2007, she was conferred with the title of Ada Zion by His Lordship Rt. Rev. Dr. Bishop Gbuji through the instrumentality of the Enugu Diocesan Catholic Men’s Organization (CMO). To crown it all, the National Council of Catholic Women Organization Nigeria conferred on her a National Merit Award as Ambassador of Mary. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
