Second day, Moving around the state Capital on the FACT FINDING Mission to EBONYI STATE, but concentrated on Abakiliki the State Capital..
I get to EBONYI STATE Governor's Lodge, first is The Presidential Lodge which is state of the Art, situated 3 minutes driving distance and 15 minutes Walking distance from the Governor's Lodge, where also is the Governor's Office.
Currently the one at end of Onwe street is in the middle of the Town, surrounded by commercial activities.So there is need to move it to more remote area..
That's a great structure located on expanse Land.
Both Building's were seperated by Canal that was contained with reinforced concrete that is as Thick as Walls of Jericho.
The Edifice is strong from View, powerful by assumption... But..
5 minutes walk from Governor's house cum Office, there is FULANI SETTLEMENT build to taste (click on the link below for pictures,, zoom it for clearer version).
The Location of the Herdsmen Center is Crystal and Visible, it send Jitters down any Spine that is conscious of Security and lives, infact it sent goose pimple all over my body.
I tried to make head or sense on the Location of the HERDSMEN quarters that are more than 50 Buildings sharing the same Compound with the Governor's Lodge, I wouldn't have bothered about the Proximity, if not that it seems the Government are at home with it and my Fear stems from the History of events.
What may have made the Government to share the Compound with the Herdsmen is beyond me, and I wondered if there is something that shouldn't trouble our minds, so I have the following as Minority conclusion...
1) Eithier, the Land in question where Co purchased by Ebonyi and Herdsmen, making them to Wax and Flex Muscle that brazing, or
2) They are( not) hired as Security to Guard the place, since 2 Agile Army Trucks with personnels are stationed with Agility on both Buildings..
3) Unless they are the ones sponsoring the Building projects and thereby decides to give a very close marking to thier investment, giving meaning to the saying which provides "He who pays the Piper Dictates the Tune of the music that flows from the Pipe".
Whatever it is, it should give anybody born East of the Niger serious goose pimples .
Judging with the pace of the work, which is on Final stage, including LANDSCAPING and decorations, one can say that by December both Houses will be in use and, I don't think there is any plan of evicting or relocating the Herdsmen, which even if there is a contingent plan shrouded now, it will be a Heculean Task relocating this Herdsmen who seems to have found a Home at the premises of the Governors Lodge and office.
A stich in time saves nine... My Uncle use to say "oburu na agbaghi Okpanga Ichida ka Ana ayi ara, onaghi adaba" (Okpanga The Masquerade of Ichida to dance it, one must dance like Mad to get in synch with the beating).
Mazi Odera POg JP reporting from the Home front..
Perhaps the piece of land occupied by the nomads is not ready to be used for now by the state government, that's why they are still there , but time shall tell anyway. ��
ReplyDeleteThey are part of the little things we neglect to tackle at the beginning which will later come to hurt us when no one expect
ReplyDeleteHmmm!The Igbo paternity of Governor Umahi is indeed questionable. In reality,these facts indicate that Ebonyi State has been conquered by the Fulani Caliphate. It is therefore VERY dangerous that the surrogate of the Caliphate is the headship of our regional Governors. Consequently, an urgent and decisive solution is necessary before it is too late.
