Nwankwo Emeka Obiora (born 12 July 1991 in Kaduna) is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Levadeiakos as a defensive midfielder.
Obiora began his career with Lagos based club ECO FC, before he signed for Heartland F.C.. He left his club Heartland F.C. to join Wikki Tourists F.C. on loan in July 2008.
He then left Heartland F.C. to sign a contract with Real Murcia on 11 May 2009 that ran through 30 June 2010.
On 28 November 2009 it was announced that Internazionale signed Obiora from Eco FC. At first the youngster was a part of Inter's primavera squad managed by Fulvio Pea. Obiora made his first-team debut in a UEFA Champions League match against Tottenham in London, coming on as a substitute for the injured Sulley Muntari in the 53rd minute.
After not making an impact at the Milan club, Nwankwo Obiora moved to Parma on 31 January 2011 in a co-ownership deal for €300,000. The deal was renewed in June 2011 and again in June 2012. He was loaned to Calcio Padova in 2012–13 season. Parma subsidized Padova for €200,000 in terms of premi di valorizzazione.
On 6 February 2013, Romanian champions CFR Cluj announced that they brought the midfielder on a temporary basis, with a buyout clause to make the move permanent in the summer. In June 2013 Parma also purchased the remain 50% registration rights of Nwankwo from Inter (as part of the return of Galimberti and Mella to Inter), in order to re-sell the registration rights to Cluj for free.
