ABOUT US
PEOPLES CLUB OF NIGERIA INTERNATIONAL
The People’s Club of Nigeria was founded by Nigerians who are desirous to foster good relations among themselves and to promote charitable and philanthropic causes. Peoples club was formed in 1971 in Aba (present Abia state of Nigeria) by a small group of individuals led by Chief Titus I. Ume-Ezeoke. This was at a period of hopelessness following the devastation of the Nigeria civil war which ended in 1970. The Club was formed with the spirit of uniting people of like minds, for social interaction.
The formation was timely and extensively welcomed because of the Club’s founding principle which reads “be your brother’s Keeper” and was also embodied in its motto: Unity, Love and Service. Since its formation, the Club has grown extensively and could be found in most major cities in the world. By the year 2000, there was a branch of the Peoples Club in every major city in Nigeria. The club latter moved its headquarters to Onitsha, Anambra State of Nigeria.

CALGARY BRANCH
Peoples Club of Nigeria International – Calgary Branch started by accident of history. The history started in 2011 when Chief Paul Eneh and Mazi Ben Ezenta accidentally met at the TipTop Store at the Deerfoot Mall. Mazi Ezenta was shopping with his wife when Chief Eneh overheard them speaking the Igbo language. Chief Paul approach the couple and introduced himself and said that he overheard them speaking Igbo. He said that he is Igbo also and recently moved from Houston to Calgary. That sparked interest from Mazi Ezenta who had also lived in Houston for about 8 years.
Friendship soon developed which extended to both families including our spouses. In one of their social visits, Mazi Ezenta brought up the social life in Houston which is grossly missing in Calgary. Both men decided to create an organization that will provide a platform for social interaction since the only organizations in Calgary are the Igbo Cultural Association of Calgary (ICAC) and Nigerian Canadian Association of Calgary
