Jogezai (Pashto: جوګيزئ , Urdu: جوگیزئی) is a Pashtun tribe of Pakistan. It is a subtribe of Sanzarkhail, Kakar.[1] The majority of the Jogezai tribesmen live in Killa Saifullah and Loralai. The current Nawab of Pashtuns is from Jogezai tribe namely, Nawab Muhammad Ayaz Khan Jogezai, who is the bloodline of Baiker Nika.
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".[2] The Zhob Tumandar belongs to the Jogezai family.
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. One of the leaders was given the titles of Tumandar, Sardar Bahadur and Nawab (S.B Tumandar Nawab Bangul Khan Jogezai) and the other two were given the title of Sardar Bahadur; (Sardar Bahadur Zarghun Khan Jogezai of Killa Saifullah) and (Sardar Bahadur Akbar Khan Jogezai of Loralai).
