Hello,
I'm King-Jedidiah
Onyedikachukwu JOHN
Legal Practitioner and Content Creator
I am King-Jedidiah Onyedikachukwu JOHN, born in Anambra state and currently residing in Lagos state. As a Legal Practitioner and Content Creator, I am driven by integrity, empathy, and a passion for making a lasting impact. My favorite quote, "When you have Christ, you have access to everything," encapsulates my outlook on life.
My Heritage My Roots
I hail from the Igbo-speaking tribe of Nigeria, specifically Anambra state. The Igbo people are known for their rich culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong community values. Traditional marriage ceremonies are elaborate events symbolizing the union of families through gifts and celebrations. Core values like respect for elders and community support have shaped my worldview, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, resilience, and unity.
Family Stories and Traditions
My family has a rich oral tradition, sharing stories of resilience and entrepreneurship, like my great-grandfather's journey to establish a thriving business despite numerous hardships. We celebrate traditional festivals such as the New Yam Festival and hold Sunday family meetings to discuss important matters, reinforcing our family bonds and instilling in me the importance of unity and communication.
Personal Journey, Milestones
Growing up in a humble background in Lagos state, I learned that my determination and effort define my path. Attending law school on scholarships was pivotal, reinforcing my commitment to education and giving back. Co-founding Project SAVA, which aims to equip over 10,000 youths with animation and video editing skills, marks a significant milestone in my journey to empower the next generation.
