Chief Vincent Obianodo was born on August 10, 1947, in Umueze village, Neni in Anambra State. He spent his early life in his hometown and when he became a teenager, he discovered that he had nothing to show or rely on, then he moved to Kano state in search of greener pastures and a better life. In Kano state, Chief Vincent Obianodo learnt how to fix punctured tyres and became perfect at it (a time when few people could do it), hence he had a lot of customers queuing up to fix tyres for their bicycles, motorbikes, and vehicles.
