BIOGRAPHY OF CHIEF DR. C. MOORE OBIOHA JP OZUOMEE 1, ARONDIZUOGU

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved you [as my chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you [and] appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5, Amplified)

Chief Clement Moore Obioha, was a ‘living memorial’ to the truth of the word of God.  God had a
calling for him before he was conceived in his mother’s womb, and like father Abraham, he fulfilled his calling.

Clement Moore Obioha, was born on the 30^th of October, 1924, in the village of Ndianiche, Arondizuogu, in the eastern part of Nigeria. His parents were Mazi Gilbert Obiagboso Obioha and Mrs. Mgbekeocha Obioha (nee Ezeokoli Ezeufondu, from Agbiligba Nanka). Nothing in the circumstances of his birth gave any indication about a future of great achievements; he was just one of seven children of his parents.  Even his now late parents had no idea that a great visitation of God was afoot in their humble home. Only God knew before his conception in his mother’s womb that he had ordained him for greatness, and led him to become the “Ozuomee 1” (the one who plans and executes faithfully) of Arondizuogu. He was Ozuomee in word and in deed.

Though, he had limited formal education,  Ozuomee pursued excellence in business, and despite the setbacks from the Nigeria civil war in 1967/70, he built up his fleet by acquiring large trucks providing  haulage services on contract for the major multinational oil companies in Nigeria like MOBIL,TEXACO,TOTAL.  MOSCOL TRANSPORT, which Ozuomee founded, is presently one of the few select companies providing petroleum products haulage services in Nigeria for the French owned multinational oil conglomerate, TOTAL OIL.  Due to his success in transportation, many people over the years have associated him with the name “MOSCOL”.  In addition to achieving great success in transportation, Ozuomee diversified into the automotive distributive business acquiring franchises from Diamler-Benz of Germany for Mercedes Benz truck sales, and HONDA Motors of Japan for the sale of cars and power products. When HONDA established a Nigerian manufacturing company, he was elected a Director to represent the interests of Nigerian shareholders in the Board of Directors. Ozuomee founded and served as the Chairman of various companies including: C. MOORE OBIOHA SONS & CO. LTD; MOORE NAILS AND STEEL INDUSTRIES LTD; PESTKIL NIGERIA LTD; MOSCOL OIL & GAS CO. LTD; AND MOSCOL TRANSPORT. Ozuomee was a philanthropist!
