Okwocha gafe, the dust will soon settle, the euphoria of Nmacha gone, the winners and losers takes stock, but, the Transparent Truth is that, we have lost the Original Concept of Brotherhood, it is the only thing that pulled us out of the over cooked Slavery plotted against us after the Genocide of 1967.
Then, we use to be our brothers helper, but recently we prefer to be our brothers Bondage.
Was it not UDOKA from AWA that said "Onye furu igwurube, okporo Umunna ya, Ndi nakpulu Ofia, onye Nwe ya? "(He that saw Locust as they Swamp in their Millions and refused to call his brethren, the ones that escaped into the wild, whose gain?)
This Days reminds me of what our Forebears did when the British invaded US and made some of us to sale our own as Slaves and pocket the Money forgetting na odi niru, ife onye metalu ga aju ajuju nisi ya na ezi na Ulo ya (Posterity will judge us with Sharp blade).
Those Slave traders after that lived the lives of Tufiakwa, which they handed down to generations.
Everywhere in Anambara during this Yuletide, you see series of CONVOYS, the line up makes one wonder...
You will see Brand New 2019 HILUX Trucks driven by Police or carrying Only Security, and one as Back Up, the Boss will be among other variety of assorted Expensive Machines that constitute more of a Nuisance than affluence.
Having in mind that they create UNNECESSARY TRAFFIC LOCK JAM in all Corners of the state without apologies, anyway somebody should remind me to Whisper to our Governor that... Whoever that installed those Traffic lights in the state should be brought back with Fetters of Shackles, to come and remove those USELESS MORIBUND, which doesn't work at all.
I checked all the places it was installed, none is working.
The display of MOBILE,Army and or Navy is nothing but showing Umunna Crass and not Class, in fact that attitude is just to announce sudden arrival of wealth, and if you ask me, I will ask, who are they trying to intimidate with the Security perimeter?.
Unless, I foul the Air around my Kinsmen, that will be the sole reason why I will be seeking protection from POLICE, ARMY and others, which in reality, the hired Security is guarding you based on command from the Boss and they owe you not a single alleginace, so if somebody makes them a proper offer, they will trade you like OKUKO Christmas, but I digress..
One might say, Mazi Odera POg JP is envious of the very Riches, well you are right and wrong, what I see is not wealth on display but advertising ignorance.
Especially where most of the Owners never lift a Finger to pull any Youth out of Poverty, ask them, they will sarcastically conclude "Nwanne je chuba Ego", which the person is right, after all he struggled to made his wealth, but di anyi, the best insurance of a wealthy person is how many people he MADE to join the Class of the CLASS, not turning them to errand Boys and Otimkpu.
Somebody told me sometime ago, that Wealth last for 10 Years in a house, the luckier ones gets 20 years and the most extreme Lucky get 30 and I agree, because most of those original Big Men, check their Side now, some of the Children Amaro ife di iche na mmiri ikwo aka, na nke onunu (They can't tell the difference when you serve them Water to wash hand, they will drink it thinking it is Drinking water).
If you ask me, I will say, since it is now brazenly advertised that Ndigbo are not only marginalized in Nigeria but subjugated with Extreme hatred, most of our displayed wealth can be a Cushion to launch us unto the World of GENETIC RICHES.
Each of the HILUX cost about 20 Million to 30 Million Naira, since the owner can't ride in it, but dedicate same to security whose pride is driving around on Brand New Vehicles, whereas his Kids can't afford 3 square Meals and the Security can't even tell where the School Fees for the New Term will come from..
Why not buy Future Insurance, use the fund for such excesses to Plant future for the Youths.
If that Vehicles cost 20 Million Naira and you decides to take Bull by the Horn without Gloves, just pick 40 Youths from your Village or Town and invest 500 Thousand on Each..
20% of them will squander the money within 6 months, 20 % ga na amacha Ube with theirs, but over 40% will make Well and 10 % will become Super Rich..
You are not doing this to get thanks and homage, you did that just because you wants to chart a new Life for lifeless and I bet you that even if none came back to postulate with thanks and bearing Thanksgiving, be rest assured that Divinity has written a very big PASS on your report Card and God who never ever wants to be in our debt, will certainly give you good health, good Children even if they refused to buru Ndi ga aba Uru, but because you sow righteousness for them, your gift will make way for them and then your blessing will be here on Earth and later at after life.
I know many of you enjoy hiring the Youths as Thugs, give them Stipend that will only allow them to drink, pursue, sorry Woo Girls and fall back into perpetual poverty and tomorrow they will work hard to join Bad life, then you may be unfortunate to have your Children who you have buttered the bread and add Sardine, they will fall victim of the Youths whose life were bent due to the ill fact that nobody helped them to stand on solid Ground.
Sure, the display of wealth in Igboalnd is amazing, but gini mezie?.. We simply love to mesmerize the Poor and dangle riches before Mouth Agape society, that also drove them into Onwunwa.
As we start a new Year, take stock of your self, life and decide how many people you will support to become Millionaire by the Fall of 2020.
In the days of Yore, you hear about Ochiri ozuo and truly you see the people he raised, but today, we buy titles without merit, that's why Ani ji atunite Ndi Igwe na Ndi Title Grabbers.
Back from Digression, As they have closed down ENUGWU AIRPORT with some silly reasons, knowing fully well that they are not in any haste to complete and reopen.. It is high time our Transporters should use WATER WAYS as means of transportation, put FERRY on our waters from Lagos to ONUICHA, ABUJA and other places to South East, that will alternate whatever plots laid against our free travels and more money in the pocket of investors.
This is Mazi Odera POg JP strolling along OBA OFEMMILI, wondering ma Ndia osokwu na Anambara or they hate Government intervention or that Government hates to intervene for them.
