Peoples Club of Nigeria

Peoples Club of Nigeria International, Boston Branch, is a community organization for Boston’s Nigerian community, listed with Hyde Park Main Streets. Guided by the motto Unity, Love and Service, it describes itself as a network for professional growth and cultural preservation, rooted in the idea of being one’s brother’s keeper. It supports its members, works to empower the Nigerian diaspora and takes on philanthropy in the wider community, while its clubhouse hosts fellowship, food and celebration.

The branch traces its roots to the summer of 1999, when Ikechukwu Asomugha, a native of Ozubulu who had arrived from London, organized it with 26 others. It was formally inaugurated on October 7, 2000, as 41 new members joined. Under Chairman Victor Ives Udoji, the club acquired its first clubhouse, then weathered more than a decade of legal battles between rival groups. A later expansion and renovation turned the clubhouse into a full community center.
