had a deep trauma in his life that he had to go through. His younger brother
Bartholomew Owoh was publicly killed together with two other young men, for a
crime related to using forbidden substances, which they did not foresee the death

when he was killed. He says that he will never forgive the government for doing
this to his younger brother.
Many people think that Nkem Owoh is married to the famous

and wife. According to Nkem, they are in-laws. However, he refused to give a
lot of information on their family ties because they want to protect their
families from the media attention. This is a respectable decision because media
always want to create more rumours.

Nkem Owoh wife always supports her husband in whatever he does. As Nkem Owoh
says, he travels around the world a lot, but Ngozi is always understanding and
sensible towards him. She appreciates that he is the main source of money in
the family, and does not mind that he is often away. However, the whole family
spends as much time as they can together when Nkem has free time.
As for Nkem Owoh daughters, he kept them away from the
media eye for many years. He preferred for them to lead a normal life and not
always be in the objectives of the cameras. Therefore, their names and
occupations are also unknown to the broad public. However, there was one time
when he decided to bring his two daughters along with him to the business
event, which was held to renew his endorsement deal with MTN. This caused a lot
of surprise among the fans. His daughters looked great, and everyone could make
