Rev. Fr. Ernest was born on June 21, 1993 to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel and Late Agatha Nwosu of Nenwe in Agwu LGA, Enugu State. Ernest, by providence, was the second child out of four of this blessed union. Nonso, as he was fondly called by admirers had his elementary education at Infant Jesus Nursery School Ogui Road (Enugu), Immaculate Heart Nursery/ Primary school Ogui Road (Enugu), Divine Home Nursery and Primary School Akpakpa Nike (Enugu), and finally at Model Comprehensive Nursery and Primary school Nnewi where he concluded his primary educations and as well graduated with distinctions.

Nonso was lively, soft spoken, easy-going and had flair for music, musical compositions/musical instruments and that attracted him the nick-name "Melody." Indeed, Nonso's life remains a manifestation of the sufficiency of God's grace, which was subsequently concretized by the fulfillment of his desires to serve the Lord.

There, at the junior seminary, Nonso distinguished in reading, writing, playing the basketball, singing and most especially playing the Keyboard and the Violin. Music, Musical compositions and the basketball were very dear and special to him. His excellence in both the musical and basketball fields has led to his participation in various competitions and tournaments both within and outside the seminary setting.

After his investiture at St Gabriel's Ozubulu, he was posted to Pope John Paul Major Seminary, Okpuno-Awka for his philosophical studies which lasted for 4 year, graduating with double degrees; Bachelor in Arts (B.A) and Bachelor in Philosophy (B.PHIL) from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka and Urban University Rome respectively. At Blessed Michael Iwene Tansi Major Seminary Onitsha, he completed his theological studies.

Today, Rev Ernest completes this journey of a 17 years cycle of formation to the priesthood through an ontological transformation at Christ's altar, as such, becoming another Christ. Indeed, this is one of that long awaited day the lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.
