About Osi : A proud American and a Kentuckian by choice.

Osi Onyekwuluje (Oh-see) (On-yea-kool-loo-jay)

“I will be honored, if you will elect me to serve you as your Judge”, Osi says. “It will be an excellent opportunity for me to use my skills, experience and legal training, particularly my recognized EXCELLENCE in Constitutional Law and work as a Commonwealth Prosecutor,  to continue my life of dedicated public service, to bring my common-sense conservative and family-friendly Kentucky values to decide, as you would want them to be decided, issues of great importance that we all cherish (and demand) to make  our  Commonwealth of Kentucky great”,  Osi continued. As a person who “has been on the other side of the world”, so to speak, who witnessed first hand rampant injustices, corruption in government, government oppression of its citizens and denial of the most basic human rights and the citizens' inalienable personal liberties, Osi is uniquely suited to protect our personal liberties and check government abuses of the peoples’ rights guaranteed them by their creator. “I GREATLY appreciate your vote and support on November 7th, 2006, to work for you”, Osi says. Osi’s journey began nearly 44 years ago in Africa when he was born. Osi Onyekwuluje, (easily pronounced: (Oh-see)   (On-yea-kool-oo-jay)),  is the second son and sixth child of devout Christian parents, who instilled in him the virtues of charity, hard work, personal responsibility, love for one another and that “to whom much is given, much is expected”. Osi’s father is a Barrister – a Lawyer trained in England – and the Registrar of the Anglican (Episcopal Church) diocese, where he has the responsibility of appointing the clergy (including the Bishop) and staff. Osi’s mother, who passed away ten years ago, Lord bless her soul, was a fashion designer who owned her own clothing line. As a young boy going through elementary  and high school, Osi read a lot about United States of America. He read that America was founded on the most virtuous of human principles:  that ALL of us were created EQUAL and endowed by our creator with certain rights that are inalienable, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He also read that in America, unlike in the other countries of the world, including the one in which he was born, that the government (divided into three equal branches) derived its enumerated powers from “the consent of the governed”, the rights of the people emanated not from their government but from their creator, and that America guaranteed (and protected) these array of personal liberties. The more Osi read, the more intrigued and interested in America and its  unique constitution he became. Osi yearned to be an American, and these yearnings led him to leave his parent’s home for the first time and journey ALONE to America,  over 26 years ago when he was just a TEENAGER. His love of the U. S. constitution led Osi to Law School to study law so he “can master that ‘sacred’ document”, as he calls our constitution. There his efforts were rewarded and his love and mastery of the constitution won him a prestigious award (the Delacy Award) for Excellence in Constitutional Law.  His constitutional law excellence and scholarship continues even today, as he practices law in Bowling Green. Osi is  very grateful to America for making him a proud American and Kentuckian by choice, and  for the vast opportunities America provided him to succeed. Osi feels he owes America and Kentucky great debts. He wants to repay these debts. The best way he knows how to do so is by being a law abiding citizen and by “giving back” and helping “form a more perfect union” of America where justice is established, liberty’s blessings are secured to ourselves and our offspring, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. Hence, Osi completely dedicated his life to public service. For the past 26 years since Osi has been in America, Osi has served you well as a Prosecutor, Attorney for the State Transportation Cabinet and Assistant Attorney General. Serving as your Judge will fulfill Osi’s lifelong dream and also be a natural progression of his life of dedicated public service. In his spare time, Osi loves to read, spend time with family and friends, volunteer for various noble causes, including Bar (legal) leadership, Advisory Councils for Western Kentucky University, 4H, where he also judges mock trial competitions and 4-H contests and Warren County Extension Board,  mentoring to kids, and coaching and refereeing little league football and basketball, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and National Rifle Association (NRA).
