Even though Oduko Na Mba didn’t attend a formal school, she was an inspirational woman who possessed wisdom that guided the educated and the powerful. In Wisdom of the Rare One, Oduko’s daughter, author Dr. Chinedu Christie Nnamah Okoye, offers an insightful look at her mother’s life.In this memoir, Nnamah Okoye blends real-life events with fictional excerpts to share her mother’s story. Born around the year of 1925 and married off at the age of fourteen, Oduko, through her faith in God, raised nine children and left a legacy many envied and even emulated. She consistently exemplified her rarity at every level of her adult years of life, her character remaining consistent during times of peace, war, scarcity, and plenty. Wisdom of the Rare One shares the author’s mother’s practical and everyday wisdom, rooted in Biblical principles, that helped others build positive and healthful relationships. It pays tribute to Oduko while offering a host of anecdotes and stories that highlight the vision and acumen of a woman born at a time and in a country that placed little value on a female’s existence.
