Eva Edochie, born on June 5, 1972, is the second child and only daughter of Nigeria’s legendary actor, Chief Pete Edochie, and his wife, Josephine Edochie. She was born and raised in Enugu State, where she spent her formative years immersed in the cultural richness and warmth of southeastern Nigeria. Though her ancestral roots trace back to Nteje, the headquarters of Oyi Local Government Area in Anambra State, Eva’s early life was shaped by the values and traditions of the Enugu community her family called home.
She attended City Girls Secondary School in Enugu, where she received her foundational education. Committed to furthering her studies, Eva went on to pursue higher education at Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT)—formerly known as Enugu State University of Applied Sciences—where she completed her tertiary studies.
