OPEHI / UMUKORO

OPEHI / UMUKORO
THE TRUE REPRSENTATIVES OF MALTREATED AND NEGLETED PEOPLE.
Perhaps, if man was to chose his place if birth, and origin, certainly not many would have chosen to come from their place if not because nature has being unkind to them, but because man have decided to treat his follow man like ………..? Even monkeys are better for at least they may have their needs or be allowed to go back to the forest. It is worst when such treatment comes from your own race especially the same geographical locations who even drink from the same river or swarm.
The people of opehi / umukoro, a community in ozuzu autonomous community in Ngor Okpala local government area in Imo state Nigeria for many decades have remained voiceless. The very high level of mass –illiteracy among the people,have been a very high advantage to their neighbouring communities and even their very few sons who manage to learn to write their names which gave them the opportunity to represent them at the local government level seem to be treat to their development.
It is very interesting to know that Ngor- Okpala is known as the food basket of Imo state, but it pains the heart to know that one of the few communities that made ngor-okpala the food basket of the state is opehi /umukoro, but the people find it very hard to mention even one basic amenity. Is it motorable road, health care centre, market, electricity, pipe born water? Not even a single secondary school to educate their children and wards. This is a community that their four fathers worked very had to ensure that their off-spring will have something to rely on and even develop more economically, technologically, social etc. I find it hard to discover any community in Imo State that have the kind of agricultural products that are abound in opehi / umukoro. Are we to take of the rubber trees plantation, the pineapple orchard, the palm tree that one man has claimed ownership at the expense of the poor and voiceless community which covers many hectares of land.The people are highly blessed with a very fertile land good for the production of cassava, cocoyam, maize, Mellon, corn, vegetables, wild fruits even the shell company have always been around in search of the national treasure called crude oil etc.
The heterogeneous states of Nigeria, no doubt created room for sentimental skirmishes across the length and breath of Nigeria. The government of Nigeria has constitutionally tried to allay the fears of the minority in a country so tribally divided, but much as the government has been doing it, its best through the instrumentality of federal character principle, the evil of marginalization has continued to rear its urgly head across the country. The creation of states in the country is one of the ways through which people who felt dominated in a particular state or local government to take their own destiny in their own hand. Ngor-Okpala as a local government in Imo State is supposed to be a channel through which those at the grassroots will fill the impact of the governance. But those inhabiting Opehi/Umukoro under Ngor-Okpala local government in Imo State are not given this opportunity by been provided with the essential needs as mentioned above. What is obtainable in Opehi/ Umukoro is a story a people systematically denied of equal right and privilege in a nation, state and locality they call theirs. A people whose fate is stunted, stricked, captive and paralyzed politically, socially economically and educationally by people who are supposed to be their brothers. People not allowed to catch the spirit of governance, they live somewhere around it but not of it.
Imagine such injustice, man inhumanity against fellow man. Do you relieve some one from hunger by merely given the person eba (garri) without soup to swallow it? Around 2006 a Japaness company was give the contract to install solar electricity to the rural communities which the people of Ophei/Umukoro managed to be remembered, yes the people were happy believing that their messiah has finally arrived at least to redeem them from the bondage of darkness. Little did they know that they were once again been used to exploit the federal government of Nigeria. Yes I am a bonafide indigene of this politically briefed community, therefore I will not fail to expose evil when it is available. Every well thinking electrician talk less of an engineer knows that solar systems electrical energy gives the type of current called direct current, this direct current is not very common among Nigeria elites talk less of my rural people. It is also a known fact that basically 99.9% of our electrical appliances in the Nigerian market makes use of what is called alternating current. Then, installing a direct current for a rural farmer whose interest is to watch television, listen to radio, iron his cloths and easily buy his 40, 60, 1000 and 200 watts bulb from the next shop is basically useless without installing the inverta which converts the direct current (D.C) to alternating current (A.C). The so called Japaness contractors in connection or agreement with the project supervisors only installed, a battery of 12V, the solar panel of 24V, 10AMPS, 150WATT for each building not minding the number of rooms or occupants, and off cause the regulator. This to those who are electrically inclined is just a direct current of low voltage. And alternating current appliances which are very common. In other words, the said installed electricity to the voiceless Opehi/Umukoro community remains useless top the people even as the direct current bulbs installed are now bad and no available once to replace them. Worst of all, no trained technicians to manage the facilities.
To further deceive the people, transformer was given to them around 2004/2005 when other communities were given but till now not even a single wire or cable has gone up yet the nearest community umuagwu which is just a stone throw enjoys electricity.
Oh! What an injustice to the voiceless people of Opehi/Umukoro? I understand that we have mass illiteracy in my community but that is not enough reason why my people must be continuously be deceived, this is not why my people must be continuously be deceived ,this is not why during elections, elements called politicians would just come and paint our six rooms community primary school which was built by our fathers who meant well for us, this should not be the reason why politicians continuously deceive my people especially our mothers with cups of N5.00 (five naira) salt.
If silence is all it takes for an injustice of this magnitude perpetuate, it is time to break it. It is a long way to go, but the essence of a step in thus journey of miles need not be over emphasized. This situations need to be purveyed for all and sundary to see especially authorities at the state and federal level. The entire members of Opehi/Umukoro community and the generations yet unborn face an unpleasant and bleak socio-political education and economic future if this dangerous trend is not corrected. Infrastructural development is rarely extended to them. The community is never considered in the sitting of government institutions even amidst of abundant natural resources like palm trees, rubbers, pineapple, land, rivers, etc. The collateral impact of this age long premeditated atrocity is perceptible in all spheres of human endeavour in the community. Critical infrastructural base is lacking the economic development is at its lowest ebb while unemployment especially among the youth is the order of the day. There is no home- grown institution to engage the teeming number of young men ad women in the community. The result is yearly mass exodus of people to cities in search of green pastures which is must cases they over stress themselves while some die very prematurely in the hands of their masters. Others stranded at home engage in various antisocial vices as a way of survival.
If democracy is a game of he masses. It is simply does not obtain in Opehi/Umukoro community. We are seriously in need of secondary school, to educate my fellow youths. Please the transformer given to my voiceless community is fastly rusting without function, my people in high extent may be illitrates but certainly not foolish or lazy, let our electricity be installed to enable us exploit our potentials at least to enable us operate and build more of our oil mails and the people of Imo State and Nigeria at large will benefit. Since God has given us that grace we need road.

BABY BORN WITH ROSARY

Thousands of people trooped to a private maternity home in Kotaworo area of Bida, in Niger state on Sunday to catch a glimpse of a baby girl said to have been delivered with a Muslim prayer Rosary (Tasabih)  on her  neck.

The middle aged mother of the baby,  Adijat was said to have been rushed to a local midwife home near the residence of Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the  Polygamist at about 2 pm on Sunday and after minutes of labour, she was delivered of the baby.


According the owner of the local maternity home, Alhaji Abubakar Baiwa Shasha who took delivery of the baby, “I was shocked  when in the course of the delivery the baby came with a Chisbih on her neck. The baby was born with a black rosary at delivery point.”

“But I was surprised  when after a while the rosary turned to white to the amazement of the few people around.”

As soon as the news spread round the town, thousands trooped to the the maternity home shouting “Allahu Akibar; Allahu Akibar (God is Great) as they scrambled to see and touch the baby. ”

Efforts to get the father of the baby, Isah, a native of Loma in Kwara State were fruitless as he refused to talk to our Correspondent.

An Islamic scholar, Malam Idiris Ndajiwo said the delivery of the baby with the mysterious rosary “showed the greatness of Allah. The delivery of the baby today, in this town and this area (Kutaworo) is a big thing to us Muslims. This actually goes to show that Allah is in control of what happens to any one and in the whole world.”

Another well wisher and the Personal Assistant to popular Islamic scholar, Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the octogenarian super polygamist, Alhaji Muktari Salau Bello said, “we have never witnessed such kind of miracle before in this town, but we thanked Allah for what He has done. In fact what happened is a miracle and we are very happy about it”.

The baby was later taken to the Etsu Nupe’s palace where they were received and blessed by the royal father , Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar.

Confirming the delivery of the mysterious girl when contacted on phone, the Emirate Secretary Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman said, “it is true. The baby was brought to the Palace and she was received and blessed by His royal highness, the Etsu Nupe and they have since left for their home. “

THE BIG STORY

AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY SENATOR CLEMENT ODAH, SENATE PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA,NSUKKA, ON THE OCCASION OF THE PAYMENT OF A COURTESY CALL TO RT. HON. AUGUSTINE NWANKWEGU, HON SPEAKER, EBONYYI STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, ON THE 13TH DAY OF NOVEMBER 2009.

“No man has ever learnt to live until he
can rise above the narrow confines of
his individual concern to the broader
concern of society”

The above quotation which is credited to Martin Luther King Jr. defines the distinguishing element in leaders all over the world. It is true of leaders from the Biblical Moses to George Washington of America, Mahatma Ghandi of India, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, our own beloved Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and of course our Lord Jesus Christ, the greatest leader of all time who in order to secure the eternal destiny of his subjects undertook the tortuous journey to Calvary and endured the ordeal of the cross.
Fortunately today, we do not have to go to India, or America, or South Africa to find a true leader, nor do we need to conduct a research into the political history of Nigeria to find the profiles of true leadership for in your person is a leader in the truest and finest sense.
Hon. Speaker Sir, time will fail us if we should go into the details of your leadership antecedents, but suffice it to say that your immense roles both prior to and as Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly has contributed in no small measure to re-shaping and improving the destiny of our dear state and by implication our country Nigeria. This is evident in your tract record beginning from your undergraduate days at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Apart from being a fulfilled legal practitioner, you have distinguished yourself in politics and statesmanship and have proved Abraham Lincoln right that “… for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader”. In the murky waters of Nigerian politics you remain a shinning example of humility, transparency and dedication to service, virtues which have otherwise acquired the rarity of gold. Your passion for development and service came to the fore during your tenure as Chairman of Ebyia Local Government Area. During that period, your patronage to your constituents, especially students and farmers was unrivalled in the entire state.
The world thought they had seen the best of you but realized their mistake when you were elected the Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly. In this capacity, you have done so much that cannot be crammed into a brief address of this nature. But suffice it to say that you have elevated the State House of Assembly to an enviable pedestal. This is evident in the areas of legislative activism, infrastructural development and staff morale. Through sheer legislative ingenuity, you have entrenched in the government of Ebonyi State, harmony and stability equalled only by systems of advanced democracies thus deepening our own nascent democracy.
The masses are not left out, for you have doubled as a philanthropist and father of the masses in whose Obi there seem to lay the panacea for the infinite maladies of mankind.
All these robes are indeed too much for any one man to wear. But an answer to the question “how does he do all these alone?” is found in the twin words “God’s grace”. God’s grace indeed! For how else could one man be saddled with such responsibilities as ought to be reserved for a multitude of men. Our sincere prayer is that you should never lack in the all sufficient grace of the Almighty who alone is your strength and patron.
You remain a role model to upcoming future leaders like ourselves; a source of inspiration to the younger generation who aspire to service to humanity. This courtesy call is borne out of the recognition of your invaluable contributions to the evolution of a progressive and democratic society for posterity.
Rt. Hon. Speaker sir, it is obvious that time will not permit us to fully explore the richness of your person as one of the formidable pillars on which Ebonyi State comfortably rests. Moreover, it is clear that an attempt to document everything you stand for will amount to writing a biography.
This being the case, we wish, in one paragraph to bring to your knowledge that we have a pet project which has dominated the greater part of our tenure: that is the procurement of a civilian coaster bus to enhance Senate activities between the different campuses of the University of Nigeria. Your kind assistance in this regard will be immensely appreciated.
On behalf of my team, I want to say we are fulfilled. Our fulfillment derives from the satisfaction of our long-sustained aspiration: The aspiration to meet with and interact with the icon of our time; one whose life ought to be read like a book. And it is our conviction that this courtesy call is divinely ordained. For happening towards the tail end of our tenure, we strongly believe it is meant to be a crown to the present administration of the senate. What we believe about you is so infinite and fathomless that we may be tempted, against our will, to encroach too deep into your tight schedule if we insist on the exhaustion of the content of our heart.
The above being the case we wish to conclude with the prayer that God Almighty should guide and lead you, provide you with grace and fortify you with the finest of Solomonic wisdom. For the benefit of mankind, we also pray that God should always bless the world with your like, even if it be one in every generation.
Thanks and God bless.

SUG SENATE PRESIDENT,
UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA, NSUKKA.
