Who We Are

Okwesilieze Women's Club Of Nigeria®

THE REST WAS A STORY !

The Okwesilieze Women's Club Of Nigeria was founded in 1976 by the Wives of the Original People's Club Of Nigeria In Enugu. It originated with the Blessings from/ given by their Husbands, the then late founders of the People's Club Of Nigeria.(THE EZE ANYI-KWESILI) These were well to do Women of Substance. Women with Class!. Great Mothers indeed!

The First Induction took place on April 1st, 1978 in Enugu-Nigeria. Today, the club has grown extensively with Chapters around the world including the USA.
On August 16th, 1979 a promise was made to The Nigerian Chapter that one day this Elite Club will be formed in America. Since their missions were to promote Family Values e.t.c. It was a good idea indeed. It took 25 years to fulfill that promise.

On the January 21st, 2003 With compassionate feelings, The Texas-Chapter was founded and registered according to the Texas laws of the land by Kwesi Dr/Mrs. Gboliwe Chukwu also the Hon. President of that chapter. As she can remember back home then, they used to call being a member of this Elite club A NATURAL INSURANCE!. And when you are welcomed into this club, frankly, It is a privilege. And that's why it's not meant for every woman.

On the October 11th, 2003 with the Nigerian delegates headed by Kwesi/Chief/Mrs. Alice Nwandu, the Lifetime National President; the Houston-Chapter was launched as a non-profit organization designed for women of substance and means with common goals and objectives regarding issues that affect the quality of life for Nigerian Women, their families and Nigerian society here in the United states and back home in Nigeria.

Our mission is to keep promoting family values and to harness our members for wellness, economics and other activities, helping less fortunate women, abused and homeless people through our areas of operations to the best of our abilities and knowledge. The Club represents the interests and diversity among women from various professions. We have many benefits with fantastic rewards.

According to the Club's Founder/Hon. President, Kwesi/Dr. Gboliwe Chukwu. "a club where women with ideas can talk to each other with respect on a wellness basis and family prosperity, friendships, sisterhood, bringing awareness to issues that concern women such as healthcare, current news, our spouses and our kids living in this dangerous world, what works and what doesn't work. Remember it takes a village to raise a child.
Houston-Chapter is the first in North America fully registered and incorporated. We promise to keep that flame burning until the day we hand down that torch to our sons and daughters just as those wonderful mothers did 2003 in Houston, Texas.

Congratulations to the 2005 New Inductees. All these mean that the continuation of the oldest and strongest private Women Club in Nigeria is now fully functioning In Texas, USA with the authorization and power from the National-Nigerian Chapter.

Long live Okwesilieze Women's Club Of Nigeria! Long live Nigeria!! Long live USA!

 It shall be well with you all

Signed by,
Hon. Kwesi/Dr/Mrs.Gracie Gboliwe Chukwu
President International-OWCN- North America.

Ethica Trains 100 American Imams in Islamic Finance

Ethica Trains 100 American Imams in Islamic Finance

DUBAI, UAE, July 18, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

Two Months of Rigorous, First Ever Islamic Finance Training Successfully Completed

What does it take to bring 7 million American Muslims Islamic finance? Maybe training only 100 prominent religious leaders as a small first step. That is what the founding members of the American Islamic Finance (AIF) Project have now successfully accomplished. Jointly founded by Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance, Guidance Financial, and the Islamic Society of North America, the AIF Project seeks to promote standards-based Islamic finance among Muslim communities in North America.

The training program began with an inaugural address by Mufti Taqi Usmani, chairman of AAOIFI (Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), the world's leading standard-setting body. Ethica's spokesperson said, "Muslims in America rely on their imams for all kinds of information. By giving these community leaders direct training in the practical application of Islamic finance, Ethica now equips them with an understanding of global standards."

Ethica's two-month imam training program looks to become an annual event. The program was successfully completed this month after Ethica delivered a rigorous blend of e-learning, including case studies, exercises, and exams, in addition to intensive classroom instruction. With fewer banks and universities opting for face-to-face training, and more institutions adopting the increasingly popular e-learning option, Islamic finance is set to become more accessible to countries outside of the Gulf.

Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance

With over 20,000 paid users in more than 40 countries in 2011, Ethica (http://www.EthicaInstitute.com) is the world's leading accredited Islamic finance training and certification institute, with more learners than any other Islamic finance organization in the world. Ethica remains the only institute in the world to deliver standardized certification based entirely on the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), the leading standard-setting body in the industry.

Guidance Residential

Guidance is the leading US provider of Sharia-compliant home financing with over $2 billion in home financings. It is a subsidiary of Guidance Financial Group, an international company dedicated to serving the market for Sharia-compliant financial products and services. Guidance Financial Group offers unique investment products to institutional investors and financial intermediaries worldwide, and provides financial services to its retail customer base in the United States.

Islamic Society of North America

ISNA is an association of Muslim organizations and individuals that provides a common platform for presenting Islam, supporting Muslim communities, developing educational, social and outreach programs and fostering good relations with other religious communities, and civic and service organizations.
