His progenitors migrated from Ndi Oku Compound, which was the first royal family compound of Agbaja community in Nkporo, and settled at Ndi Mgba compound in Okwoko Nkporo. However, because of the size of his health, his residence in Ndi Mgba could no longer contain him, and he looked for a wider space, which what led him to resettle in Ndi Ebianyi, which is where he resided until he moved his residence into the church land ( which then spanned spanned from Ndi Mang to Akparata ).

On both his paternal and maternal families, he was born a noble and a great man with royalty on all sides.

Before converting to Christianity, he took part in all the initiation of the community, culture, and traditions of his days from youth to adulthood.

Elder Chief Kalu Oji Inem was a great farmer, both in crops and livestock. He was popularly known for clearing and farming in virgin forests, which would explain the quality and sizes of his yams. He amassed so much wealth and became wealthier than his peers. But all these notwithstanding, his greatest achievement in life, for which he will prefer to be identified with, is the bringing of the Church of Scotland (which later came to be known as the Presbyterian Church) to Nkporo.

The first attempt at bringing a church to Nkporo was made by Elder Awa Okereke of Ukwa Nkporo, who attempted to bring the Methodist Church, and later by Elder Ometa Ogbu of Agbaja Nkporo, who tried to bring the African Gospel Mission (AGM). Their attempts were met with stiff opposition, which led to a lack of growth of the Churches for the period of about two years. They were later advised to meet with Chief Kama Oji Inem, who was then a wealthy and influential figure. The meeting was held in his residence in Ndi Ebianyi, in Okwoko Nkporo.  He consented to support their quest under one condition that he would prefer the Church of Scotland Mission (CSM), which by then already existed in Ohafia and Abiriba for about 13 and 12 years respectively. Thereafter, he led the delegation that set out to discuss with Rev. Collins (who is popularly called Etubom Collins). After the successful discussion (that year 1924), Etubom Collins led a host of Elders from Ohafia and Abiriba to Nkporo to establish the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria in Nkporo under the care of Chief Kalu Oji Inem, who later became the first ordained elder in 1927 of the Presbyterian Church in Nkporo. This first Presbyterian Church still stands today in Okwoko Nkporo and is now known as St. Stephen's Presbyterian, Okwoko Nkporo.

Elder Chief Kalu Oji Inem later led the crusade to start a church in Ndi Elu Nkporo. It was a symbolic move in which they tied a hurricane lamp on a bamboo cane and marched down to Ndi Elu Nkporo on an Eke market day, with musical instruments and with such pomp and pageantry. This act later became a chant in which the people proclaimed that “ Kama ji ife’ bia”, meaning that Kama (Elder Chief Kalu Oji Inem) came with the light. During this outreach, a lot of converts were won in Etitiama and Amurie, including the likes of Elder Ama Ibe, who was ordained in the year 1934.

With the Church also came the first school at Nkporo at his request. The school started as a catechism class and later metamorphosed into a formal education class at Ndi Agbo Nkporo with one teacher called Mr. Uduma. Later, another school was established in Ndi Elu Nkporo.

Another notable achievement of Chief Kama Oji Inem was the payment of school fees for many school Children. At this point, many Nkporo people were not allowing their children to go to school. So, the few who insisted on going to school were denied school fees by their parents. So Elder Chief Kalu Oji Inem, out of his magnanimity, decided to pay the school fees of such children, and to feed them.

After his conversion to Christianity, late Elder Chief Kama Oji Inem publicly denounced his membership and commitment to heathenism and all the society to which he used to belong with a symbolic washing of his head with wine and water.

The society saw him indeed as a real Christian. It was popularly said that, “ Onye obula siri na ya n’ekpe chochi, ya kpe ya leghe Kama Oji Inem”, which means anybody who claims to be a church man should do it like Kama Oji Inem.

Indeed, Elder Chief Kama Oji Inem was the bedrock on which the Church of Scotland Mission ( CMS ) was founded in Nkporo in 1924. He was a crusader. He, with the church, fought stiffly against and stopped many of the heathen practices that prevailed at that time, such as: human sacrifices, killing of twins, cutting of human heads, and displaying them as heroes, etc.

He was one of the early native court judges in Nkporo, in the then Afikpo Division, and later in Bende Division. In the early 1930s and 1940s, his house was used as a prison yard by the then Bende Division to imprison those found guilty of criminal offences.

Elder Chief Kama Oji Inem was so popular that a section of the Ironyi stream behind the St. Stephen Presbyterian Church, in Okwoko Nkporo, where he used to go and take his bath, was named after him, “Iyi e Chicha” (meaning Teacher’s Stream). The seabed of this section of the stream had some slippery stone, called Ukwaka in the Nkporo native language. At his old age, he fell into that stream due to the slippery stone and hit his hip on a nearby Achi tree.

He took nothing for granted in his life. Only the best was good for him. Though he never went to school, he was a lover of education and sponsored many through school. He was widely known as a man of justice and fair play. He was loved by many and was greatly missed at his death.

He died in February 1951 at a ripe old age of 125 years.
