He had his secondary education at Holy Ghost College, Owerri, and attended Christ the King College, Onitsha, for the Higher School Certificate. He then proceeded to Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone for a combined degree from the University of Durham, England, in mathematics and physics. He was appointed as education officer (science) in Eastern Nigeria and later posted to teach at the Alvan Ikoku College of Education, Owerri. Shortly after, under a USAID scholarship, he studied for an MA in education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He returned to teach at the Alvan Ikoku College and was sent under UNESCO sponsorship to study for his PhD at the University of Western Australia in Perth.
Dr. Ebegbulem returned to Nigeria to hold various positions in the Imo State civil service: chief registrar in charge of examinations, state director of education, and director general/permanent secretary of secondary education. He was also a fellow at the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP), Paris, and a member of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
On retirement from the Imo State government, he returned to UCLA as a visiting scholar. He thereafter taught as an adjunct in universities in California, and in schools in the County of Los Angeles.
Dr. Ebegbulem’s published poems have received awards. He is a 2007 poet fellow at Noble House, London, England. He now resides in Los Angeles and can be reached at paternostercpm@aol.com.ver menos
