Jogezai

Jogezai (Pashto: جوګيزئ‌ , Urdu: جوگیزئی) is a Pashtun tribe of Pakistan.

[1] The majority of the Jogezai tribesmen live in Killa Saifullah and Loralai.

In the middle of the 18th century Ahmed Shah Abdali granted a sanad (certificate) to Baiker Nika, fourth in descent from Jogi and the head of the Jogezai family, conferring upon him the title and position of "Badshah or Ruler of Zhob".

The application of the British policy of Divide and Rule resulted into splitting and division of the Jogezai family into three different heads of one tribe.

[5] Nawab Mohammad Khan was a close ally of Muhammad Ali Jinnah[6] and rendered great services to the Pakistan Movement[7] and was the head of the Shahi Jirga of Balochistan.
