Early Life:
Fred Doc Nwaozor born May 25, 1985 as the last
child of his beloved parents Mr & Mrs Fidelis Nwaozor who hail from
Awo-Omamma in Imo State (the Eastern Heartland), Nigeria. Amazingly, being a science-oriented
student, Fred Nwaozor intended to
study Medicine but he willingly gave up the longed nurtured dream for
Engineering because he couldn’t afford forfeiting or doing without Mathematics
which was his best subject while in secondary school. As a growing child, he
was preoccupied with series of fantasies which included becoming an astute
societal leader as well as emerging as one of the world’s respected activists
cum humanitarians. Since childhood, he had been known for his quiet but smart
and brilliant nature, which had fetched him several favours and opportunities
from mentors, relatives and associates. Above all, one unique idiosyncrasy
peculiar to his person since childhood remains his ability to create/initiate
ideas, which had attracted countless and endless accolades from his fans and
friends.

year in the university, his degree project work was on ‘Design, Construction

that exposed him into the actual mechanism behind Power/Electricity supply. He

weekly column on Public matters titled ‘Fancy
Facts’ – a column that is still awake till date in spite of his current
countless writing commitments; needless to say that he is no doubt an enigma.

known as ‘Radio Nigeria’; Orient FM – a subsidiary of Imo Broadcasting

He’s
a Blogger par excellence; since 2013 he established his Blog entitled ‘Fred Nwaozor’s Blog’ – where he
publish most of his works, he has been relentlessly publishing series of
research-oriented works done by his person. The intriguing part of his mind-blowing
Blog is that it comprises different areas such as Public matters, crimes,
sports, current affairs, as well as creative works like short stories, poetry
and inspirational quotes manufactured by him. Being a creative thinker,
motivational speaker and a gifted orator, he had been invited both in the past
and present to various public lectures, seminars, workshops, conventions,
conferences, and what have you, to do justice to what he knows how to do best.
His inspirational instinct motivated him to established a Centre named Docfred
Continental Special Clinic – DCSC (Centre for Counselling, Research, &
Career Development) based in Owerri, Imo State, where he counsells people on
different areas of human endeavour such as leadership, citizenship, marriage
and relationship, as well as grooms talented young ones in various careers.
As
a trained and chartered technologist, he had always dreamt of being an employer
of labour rather than the reverse. Owing to this aspiration; in January 2012,
he came up with a firm named Docfred Enterprises that majors in Engineering,
ICT and Media consultancy, which was later in the year, September precisely,
duly incorporated with Nigeria’s Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as DOCFRED (NIG.) ENTERPRISES. The company, which is still maintaining the status quo,
is operating vigorously across the country and beyond.
