An Honorable..

 Roasting the MAN, DIKE UDO, AKA NA EME EZE, CHIEF JOE MARTIN'S UZODIKE..


Ositadinma was born on 10th August 1954 without a Silver Spoon, Infact he was Born with No spoon at all, which must have giving him the drive to make success in things of this life.


Which also may have prepared him to become philanthropic person after he overcome the inherited Poverty.


Having attended schools in various Towns owing to the nature of his Younger days spent living with Reverend Father, he graced schools such as ST MICHAELS SCHOOL FEGGE, CHRIST THE KING SCHOOL ABA, ALL HALLOW SEMINARY ONITSHA, CHRIST THE KING COLLEGE ONITSHA, SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM LONDON, UNIVERSITY OF SOKOTO where he is still the President of  the Alumni, where he has current Emirs, Sultan as fellow Alumni.


Dike Udo is married to Mrs Jane Frances Uzodike "Nee Olikaeze" and they have 4 wonderful Children, all Graduates, well placed and blessed as well, they are 

Chiugo Uzodike Okoli who is living with the Husband and Children in Australia. 


Nkiru Uzodike Nwanonyiri who is living with the Husband and Children in USA. 


Miss Chekwube UZODIKE, She is a Solid and enterprising Banker in Enugwu. 


Mr Chukwuanugo Joemartins Uzodike, His only Son, a Lawyer in Abuja, a Potential SAN in the making. 


Chief Joe Martin's is legendary on his approach to making elusive peace available even in Towns that are known to be insatiable, he has that charismatic presence that helps him to overcome hostility. 

He headed the restoration of peace in Awka Etiti as the PG during the crisis that tore the town to bits. 


With Diploma in Journalism, B.A( HONS) ENGLISH POL SCIENCE from University of SOKOTO. 


LLB HONS, 2nd Class Upper from UNIZIK, he was ready to Rock the world.


Having served as SA to Gov Jim Ifeanyi Chukwu Nwobodo early 80s,a position bestowed on him by Jim who was the Chairman of Rangers international, while Joe Martin's as a very Young Man then was the Secretary of Rangers, position given to him because of his artistry in Football,He was known then as Buzuzu, what he does with Football is what Jay Jay did at his time, but Injury benched him which also handed him the Job of the Secretary to keep him close by.


As a young Man with opportunities in Government, he placed his Town first than self, he attracted many goodies to his Town than himself, he made Gov Jim Nwobodo to Sponsor St Joseph Hospital in Awka Etiti, a project that cost the Government 250,000 Naira, equivalent of Hundreds of Million in today's life.


He single handedly brought Electricity to the town through Brown Boveri Company when Governor Nwobodo started the Pilot Job of electrifying Anambra with 48 Towns chosen from the Old Anambra, as the SA that serve also as PA and Speech writer to the Governor, he was able to write his Town into the list. 


As a Dynamic Young man who handles Fast track Files for the Governor, BBC that landed the electrification project saw his dexterity and how intelligent he is doing his job, ask him what he want them to do for him (That must be to give thier own Files fast track and swift attention), he told them to start the Electrification in his Town (Did not ask for Financial gratification) and nothing more, it was a done deal. 


Secured 10  industrial Plots for Indigenes of Awka Etiti in Onitsha.


Founded Awka Etiti community Bank... 


His unlimited Benevolence made the Town to demand he contest for Governor of Anambra State in 2003,which he did and came second to Peter Obi.


While later serving as Commissioner for Information under Peter Obi, le left his name on sands of time, written in Capital letters. 


Served as DG of campaign that brought Gov Obiano in 2013,later served as Special Adviser to same Governor. 


Outside the above Synopsis, I won't forget to mention his continued help to the less privileged, those under his Scholarship, those he build houses for, those he started Business and sources of living for, those he helped secure employment...


May his days be long and fruitful, may he find more favor for his contribution to society.


Happy Birthday Chief Joe Martin's Uzodike, Akanaemeze, Dike Udo Anambra State.


Truly Barrister Joe Martins Uzodike deserved to be celebrated well if we have Friends who understand the price he  paid in making our state Politics to be sound, until the mistake that unmade it, he has put more smile on faces and need smile on his own face as well.
