ANAMBARA THE STATE of the Rich, the Poor and the Nauseating by Mkpisi.
Good Morning is always a Dawn greetings but not when one has a big boil that is tethering between the Eye lids, that way sleep become a great Illusion that can be pursued but never attain.
In such situation, one can't tell Nigh from Dawn, but ka Ana eje.
I have tried to Sugarcoat the Come and see American Wonders inherent in my state especially the Government, but the more I peek the more confusing everything is, so I simply brought out my Thinking Cap made of ABUBO Ukpaka with Ugbene Torotoro and while placing it atop my head, I brought out my Anunuebe which I hit on the 4 Cardinal places that represent the markets in Alaigbo, then it came to me that the problem are misplaced, we simply lump blames that should be properly apportioned on a head that cares less, placing our state Problem on the Governor who was retired and isolate self, but we yanked him out and placed him atop the food chain, that's a wrong move, but discussion for another day but while discussing the progression or retrogression of his Government, he has Men and Women who are into his EXCO which can be called Kitchen Cabinet, they Form, scrutinize the projects of the Government and can query any project or expenditure that falls outside the purview of Governance, and if the Governor started throwing his position around to frustrate better Governance, the option of dissent lies with action, meaning one has to resign to distance self from the sorry the Government will become, but if that is not done, they are as guilty as the Governor on whose table the Buck stopped.
The Bad Governance should be visited on the tables of Commissioners who will tell you that they have nothing to work with, which we may agree because He that traveled to Agbaja and narrates how Lizards were sighted making Love to Horse, and you said it is a lie, where you there with him, but the irony is that Dibia na agba afa, onye nwelu Uche Ana agbaghasi (When a seer is fortune telling, a sensible client will be countering with the mind).
Our Commissioners are part of this Government, so any blame thrown to Powers that be, reasonable percentage shall be ceded to Commissioners, who not only have stayed with the Governor but none has resigned in protest , after all if you send somebody to Farm without tools the person will simply resign because he won't work with bare hands, plus it is pure wasting of his time and bringing him to disrepute. Not when he farmed for years on End, he will jump up later to say, I wasn't carried along, I wasn't equipped enough for the Job, those stories are good when we write Movie Script but not when you must have played Ping Pong with our Patrimony and future of our Children.
If any of our Commissioners has thought or believe that the system wasn't fair to his or her Work, he or she should have taking a high ground and resign, but not after the person must have joined and re-looted our patrimony, then some Theatrics will ensure, like some will create artificial sequestering and announce that they have been restrained because they penned part of the ills in the system, I would ask, what kept you even when you were rolled round all ministries and it get to bad they created phantom ministry just to consign you to place of irrelevancy? .
In essence, any Commissioner that worked for this Government should be viewed with same lense used on the Government, if we call the Government flopped then the entire Commissioners flopped as well. They shouldn't be exempted, not now or in future.
At the end of the tenure, when Commissioner like Ndidi Mezue will be showing how great she has done in her Women Ministry where she performed superbly great, other Commissioners should show us thier own report cards, failing to measure up to acceptable level, the person should be treated like Leper, no more working on public offices, no more moving freely among same people he enjoyed impoverising, same people who his or her office connived to make theater of the absurd.
Then men and women of THE PEN should go Pen in hands as they dug so deep into the chronicles of each ministry, then make recommendations to EFCC and relevant Law enforcers, especially the ones that work against embezzlement..
The worst are the State Assembly, they stand as part of the decay that ruin the state, they have never carried on or out any Legislation that helps the state.
They have not demanded to know who actually is building our HAIRPORT.
They have never demanded to know what is the nature of our Finances, like what we attracted and what we owe.
None ever looked at the state of our Roads, they lack the wills for check and balances but they enjoy full luxurious tenure footed by our Patrimony, the savings of our fathers, the future of our children and our today.
Somebody should tell our Legislooters, both National and Local that I Mazi Odera POg JP, Last Born Mpa Nnukwu has taking out his ROD of Minority Opinion writer and swore to dig deeper into the annals of thier services, as enough is enough, they must give us back our lives or we put them on pathetic CCTV.
In Anambara, we have the Rich who love to oppress the Poor with affluence that is not spread, though by choice and not by right, onwenu na Eke, meaning the poor shouldn't think the Rich owe them anything, he owe you nothing but for posterity sake, they should spread the good life.
On same Anambra, the poor love to hold grudges on the Rich, plans how to use whatever help extended, to concort certain Otumokpo just to bring the Rich down, but can I tell them something, if the world is brought to standstill today and everything comes to nothing, so everybody start afresh, those who were Rich will bounce back on top and very few from the Poverty class will join that Club, it is onatarachi and they work to be where they are, plus the success is part of the works they did but blessing from on high is the main lift that lunched them into wealth.
The truth is, agbakam mbo, bu Nri onu, Uba si na Chi..
Before now, Anambra use to be the Pillar and the Fountain that hold and supplies living waters to all, they started taking children that are not theirs as Nwa Boy, after few years when the Boys must have become Business literate, they will give them Masters which in lay man's word called Settlement and from then, the boy who has gotten his Masters in Business reality will take other boys and the Wagon goes round, that was how other states gets to wealth position because they served onye Anambara and the blessing of matured wealth goes with them as well..
But today even our boys are stupidly into Yahoo or say 419,which is completely alien to us, as there are states who has that gift of atughige agholukwa (Fraudulent ways of life), it is not us and never favored us.
As I round up the Bend, may I kindly appeal again that this Anambra election is the test of the Igbo man might, if we get it wrong, then we have buried the future of Alaigbo..
No more Adaka na Onu Enwe, we need a Governor who has a successful history and not one who promise to start a successful drive way...
You can't give what you don't have plus adiro Amu aka ekpe na nka.
Just know that Last Born is ezigbo onye Anambra and he has what it takes to peek into you and allow his Pen to do the work, so if you know you have more questions than quest and you wants to race for our own UGU OKA, kindly stop reverse Maka na Ani ga ami anyi ami as we get closer to the Platform.
This is Mkpisi Ndi Egede, Special Adviser on Good Governance, Minority Opinion writer na South East, Mazi Odera POg JP trying to brush his teeth with Atu Osisi before heading to UMUNZE for Rice Ofe Akwu with Cow tail, monkey parts, Tortoise Egg cooked with Ite Ona, Akidi and Anyu. My Doctor said I should Eat well and stay strong and that is what I must do..
