DeVita Anagha Ejem was a seasoned writer. Since his earliest times in life, he always had a passion for reading and writing. His creative powers started surfacing when he was only a teen. Between 1971 and 1975, his short stories, local history, drama, and poems won many certificates at the State finals of the East Central State (now Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi States) Festivals of the Arts. His collection of short stories, entitled: Just Another Victim, was one of those selected to represent East Central State at the Pre-FESTAC Events of 1974/1975 in Lagos. Devita had to his credit books such as Nkporo: It’s History and Developmental Milestones (a local history of Nkporo), a collection of poems written within 28years, from 1964 to 1991, entitled: “Waves of Light’; a novel entitled, Chidi; a collection of short stories entitled, Austerity; religious treatises entitled, Dish of Psychism and New Faith from Africa, and many other works, some of which he sadly did not publish before his sudden death.

DeVita was a community leader and the palace secretary to the traditional ruler of Amurie Nkporo Autonomous Community, Ohafia L.G.A, Abia State. He was a key member of the Amurie/Etitiama Congress (AE Congress) where, in 2003, he delivered a touching speech entitled, Mantram of Unification. On that occasion, he advocated for the unity and solidarity of Amurie and Etitiama communities and, by extension, the Nkporo people. It was a point of view he sermonized until his death.
DeVita Ejem, at various times, attended the Divine Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Assemblies of God Church, and New Faith of God Mission. His hobby was farming. Until his death, he ran the Human Synthesis Unit of Service, which he founded as a branch of World Goodwill with Headquarters in London, New York, and Geneva, on April 12, 1975, when he was teaching at Ututu/Ihe High School, Arochukwu.
DeVita was, until his death, a student of the Arcane School, London. His admission into the school was due to what he called his “self-initiated resolve to be of service to Humanity in keeping with the promptings of [his] soul, in partnership with the New Group of World Servers.”
