Peoples Club was founded in 1971 at Aba, Nigeria, by
Nigerians who were impelled by the desire to foster good
relations amongst mankind and to sponsor and promote
charitable and philanthropic causes.
According to Uwagboe and Ume (1988, p.3):“If there is
anything [that the Founder of the club], Prince T. I.
Ume-Ezeoke cherished soon after the Nigerian civil war,
it was socialization; trying to get the common man meet
and have a place to interact, forget the wounds of the
war and the attendant agony and excessive loss involved
on all sides. …[the Founder] believes that nothing could
be a more unifying factor to Nigerians torn apart by
civil strife as Love, Unity, and Service to all. … [the
Founder also strongly believes] in the Biblical saying
of being ‘your brother’s keeper’ through fellowship and
brotherhood based on love and trust”.
Membership is open to all irrespective of race, religion
or tribe. The Club is non political.
The Motto of the Club is Reflected in PCNI Ring
