1913

(19 December 1913 – 17 March 1977) was a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church in Nigeria.

Okoye was born on 19 December 1913 to Okoye Nwazulu and Ada Oji in Ifitedunu in the Eastern Region of Nigeria, now Anambra State.

1947

He was ordained to priesthood by Most Rev. Dr. Charles Heerey, the Archbishop of Onitsha, on 27 July 1947.

1950

In 1950 he became only the second Igbo priest to be admitted into the Congregation of the Holy Spirit.

Okoye was heavily involved in events around the Nigerian Civil War, and his explicit support for Biafra raised concerns among fellow priests that they would be targeted in Nigeria.

Historian Adrian Hastings described Okoye as a "devout Biafran hawk".

He was the first Bishop of Port Harcourt, serving from 3 September 1961 to 7 March 1970.

After leaving the diocese of Port Harcourt, he became the second Bishop of Enugu, succeeding Bishop John Cross Anyogu.
