His father thus named him “Amiepamoyefa” which in his native Ijaw language meant there was nothing his antagonist to could bring to fruition, this were the beginning of this great life. Those times, uncles were valued even more than parents and at about the age of nine, young Newton Igali went to stay with his uncle, Mr. Matthew Ogbianaowei, where he started his education in St. John's School, Eniwari.
