As the Year grow 2 steps old, as we remembered that it still needs some months before the official hand over to ICP ATIKU and ICVP PETER OBI and as this is Era of Redemption, I woke up after having a quiet Breakfast and was about to go Jogging, and then I met the flying Wizard of UKOM battling with OTUO OGBAJIE the Virgin Prostitute, as they argue the Politics of APAPA QUAYS or Say APAPA SEA PORT.
The argument did not involve me, it just provoked me , so I involved my self after all there is this saying Akota Akuko di onye oria nma, osi si tinyere ya pillow (When you narrate a Tale that interest a Bed ridden, she will ask to be adjusted to sitting position).
I come From a Tribe that are Dominant Traders, even our Doctors, Engineers, Professors are Born as soaked Traders, in a simple and flexible parlance, it can be said na Izu afia di anyi na umi okpukpu (Trading is in our marrows) and while those who are vested in Traditional Medicines waged a war against our way of life,also they raised a midwifed propaganda that evacuated our Rich men and deposit them far away from home, just to export our talent and Financial Wizardry into their coven and advantages.
Was it not that our relation born by a Police Sergeant from ONUICHA, who went on his mission to the West and arrested a woman with the semen from his testicles and they produced or say bring to life a Son who is a replica of his person, well he has left the Police Posting by the time the Child was Born, but when he was invited to name the Son, he shouted "OBU SO NJO" which dialect and misunderstanding helped to change the expression and exclamation to a NAME which makes no meaning in the Tribe of the man in question, unless in the language of the Father.
Well the Father abandoned his son and the mother, a heartless situation, a pain that the growing Son will not forget, but the son took it a Notch higher by generalizing the animosity and super hatred to affect all the Tribe of the Randy Father.
So the Son grew in strength and size and by ordinance of God, he became a Soldier and a very fine one at that, well his purpose for training as a Soldier may have to do with getting into position to grant a pay back to the Tribe that produced and abandoned him.
He got the chances and he dealt with us with Venom of Mamba snake and fury of a scorned woman during the GENOCIDAL INVASION of 60s...
Today, I am not talking about his actions of no regret, I only build a base that analyzed the Foundation of the Paralyzing the WHARF in the Nation just to afflict untold pains at the heart of Ndigbo in particular and the Nation by extension.
There use to be a Wharf at Sapele called WARRI WHARF, that service Eastern states and it was doing fantastic, enjoying patronage that is mouth watering..
There was and is another at RIVERS called ONNEH PORT..
Another in CALABAR known as CALABAR PORT..
The three quoted Ports services the broad market in South East which is the Jerusalem of Global trading, there is no market anywhere in the World that is better organized and also disorganized than ARIARIA ABA , MAIN MARKET ONUICHA, NKWO NNEWI, EKE OKA ETITI, OSE OKWODU, OGBO AFERE and many others South East of the Niger. ..
China has a large manufacturing Base, not even the newly built YIWU Market can rival any of the market in South East.
The markets where thriving, serving not just the Nation but West African markets as Traders from West Africa travel to Eastern market to buy and Export goods to their own nations and sub regions, then when the Abandoned brother took over the Head of Command, instead to remember that even JOSEPH back in the Bible met more wicked act from his own brothers, for his case was crazy, he was of age and they sold him out of jealously and his Visions (Not the current one they will ask you to waa Oji before the 31st for effective Prophesy) But Joseph knew that Blood is thicker than water, but this our brother who we had no hand in his pains nor did we support such sick abandonment, the brother swear that he must increase our pains and multiply our woes, which he did in large proportions and ekete kwupu ohu, but I digress.
He craftly used his position as the President and shot down all the Ports closer to South East, the Wharfs that service the trading Jerusalem were silenced and every activity moved to the West, yes it was moved to LAGOS.. and today in the entire Nigeria only Two Ports service the Nation.. APAPA and TINCAN Ports, not minding the proximity to the trading places and with such irritating and tact less Dud deal, we lost inflow of Currencies from West African markets, as they took to alternatives which is not favoring Nigeria as a Nation.
It did not end there, for the Importers East of the Niger never paid mind to location, what they cared about is to get Containers cleared and delivered to Warehouse located at arms length...
When the Rampaging brother saw that we did not cry, we did not rave, he vexed like never before, so he move into phase 2 of the PLOTS.. he relocated Custom and Exercise that in any Nation on Earth are located to Borders to mind smuggling or artifacts and importation of dutiable goods, he send them to every road leading to South East, so traders will clear the already cleared goods in more than 30 places leading to South East.
That was it, by the time the good arrive South East, the price of clearing has made it impossible to sale, so the traders moved closer to those WHARFS in LAGOS and that gave room to create Oasis in the dessert...
They build TRADE FAIR, ALABA INTERNATIONAL, LADIPO MUNSHIN and when Lagos state Government by error or calculation get TEJUOSHO MARKET raised by arson, so they reclaimed the land, rebuilt it and set oppressing prices on them with Igbo Traders in mind, well the Traders simply moved and allow them to use the place and it turned to Ghost town and will remain so for in consonace with Igbo saying "ina achu Nkita na nsi, iga eri?" (You that is pursuing dog from Shit deposit at the road side, are you going to eat it?).
Well Ndigbo migrated into Lagos because business were calculatively crippled in the East.
So Tons of trailers moved on the APAPA ROAD and the road and gods of IGBO LAND where angry, but once the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT moved and shouted that another IGBO MAN is now controlling the biggest TANK FARM in Lagos, that CAPITAL CAPACITY OR SAY CAPITAL OIL and Gas may one day take over the Wharf, they silently crippled him and shut down his APAPA TANK FARM..
That was enough, the gods from UMUANUKA consult OTUO OGBAJIE and they went to Lagos and also cripple all the roads leading to APAPA, just to retaliate the closing of CAPITAL OIL TANK BUSINESS.
The news and worries now is that APAPA WHARF is crippled with Bad road, TINCAN PORT is crippled as well,, Banana island is facing Perpetual night mare within that road.
Residents of APAPA can never move out with Cars again because Tankers are now permanently parked on the Highways, Bridges, streets, roads and read my lips..
The dead weight of Trucks on Bridges heading or leading to APAPA is death sentence to such bridges, the bridges will collapse any moment and what it will cost Lagos state to re-erect will be 100 times of whatever they generated from the Wharfs.
So closing down of Eastern ports can be called vengeful politics but turned out to be BOMMERANG.
Let me not count other annoying and predating circumstances which is profit and losses from that atrocious mission of closing down a Path of Redemption flowing from Igbo land.. Such as hiking the rental prices of Houses owing to Tenants of Igbo Extraction that pays Top of the Naira, just to live in comfort.
Turning swamps into ESTATES,cruising around Town with state of the Art Vehicles, living in Mega Luxury while the oppressors hallucinate and droll.
The essence is what we call Aka Ekpuchi Onwa, no hand can eclipse the Moon.
Solution, the Federal Government will as matter of EMERGENCY SALVAGE.. REOPEN ALL THE. WHARFS IN THE EAST...
Remove all those Crooks called Customs that laid siege on the roads to Alaigbo, then reopen CAPITAL OIL TANK FARM, so that the gods will stop devastating the roads in protest and the weights will be lifted off APAPA and TINCAN.
Mazi Odera POg refusing to eat anything until something is done to restore the glory that left this Nation for what they did to us..
Madam give me 6 Bottles of Big Stout, nke di Oku,, no eating but man need liquid or liquor to have his blood flowing.
