Early life and education [ edit ]
Charles Onyeama was born in Enugu April 26,1916 ("officially" listed incorrectly as August 5, 1917). He was the son of Chief Onyeama of Eke, a powerful ruler of the Agbaja region of Igboland.[4] Bonny and received his secondary education at King's College, Lagos . He later attended Achimota College in Ghana; University College, London ; and read for a degree at Brasenose College, Oxford , from 1940 to 1941.[5] [6] Lincoln's Inn .[7]
In 1944, he became an assistant district officer in Lagos, followed by serving on the Legislative Council from 1944 to 1946. After being appointed Chief Magistrate in 1952, he became a judge of the High Council in 1957.[5]
Onyeama served as justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria from 1964 to 1967. His contemporaries on the Supreme Court included Sir Adetokunbo Ademola , Sir Lionel Brett , Sir Vahe Bairamian , Justice G.B.A. Coker , Justice M.O. Ajegbo, and Justice Chike Idigbe.[8]
After a series of unpopular judgements of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 1966, African countries demanded greater representation amongst its judges. The Australian judge filling the seat dedicated to the Commonwealth was replaced with Onyeama after getting elected in November 1966, raising the number of African judges on the ICJ to two.[9] Taslim Olawale Elias .[10]
He was appointed as a judge for the 1971 Beagle Channel Arbitration .[11]
From 1982 to 1990, he served as a judge at the World Bank Administrative Tribunal.[12]
