She was born on the 7th of August, 2005, as the seventh of eight children growing up in the town of Njaba.[2] She has played for seven-time NWFL Premiership champions Rivers Angels.[2]
On 13 January 2025, the NWSL's San Diego Wave FC announced that they had signed Okwuchukwu on a one-year contract, transferring her for an undisclosed fee from Rivers Angels.[3] She scored her first NWSL goal less than two minutes into her debut, which occurred in a 2–1 defeat to the Orlando Pride on 29 March 2025.[4] Okwuchukwu earned her first start with the Wave in the following game, a 2–0 defeat to the Kansas City Current.[5] She made one more appearance with the Wave in 2025 before a leg injury forced her to miss the remainder of the season.[6] At the end of the year, Okwuchukwu departed from San Diego upon the expiration of her contract.[7]
