YOUTH REDEMPTION...

 Changing the FACE of YOUTH AFFLUENCE, the BALANCE of CUBANA and IKEMBA DI UGWU by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.

Just as aka di onye nma, otinye na isi and as one of the  LEGENDS of Ndi Egede which provides "Ka onye si eme ka ekwe si akpo ya", Anambara State of recent has been on the News both for the right and wrong reasons , but the latest is the Razzmatazz of OBI CUBANA whose Doing takes most things to different level, makes IGBO YOUTH HUSTLE to enter another level , as much as it is applaudable but when I was dancing the Ufie "Dinge" played by Udene gba ona and his LIPLESS FRUIT PLAYERS, they ask me a delicate and consequential question, which provides "Who is Anambara Youth maker between CUBANA na OBA and IKEMBA DI UGWU NA ANAOCHA"?.. 

Like my old man will say in a situation you corner him with a question that he don't want to answer and also don't want to avoid, he will submit "Uche bu Akpa onye obuna nya nkeya and will also add Ahuru ano na Enu nyua, gbalu ijiji ghari" (Mind is like Bag, every one minding his own, also When a Gas is passed from Tree top it send confusion to Flies trying to diagnose the point of escape).

Cubana is a Young business Man that thrives in Club Business, selling drinks that are exclusive for the Made and he made some of the Boys in his neighborhood or Clan and Circle of Friends...

Dr Emeka Okeke, IKEMBA DI UGWU NA ANIOCHA, "ODINANWA ADAZI" seems to have carved a niche for himself, as he was born within the Cradle of the MADE, schooled with TOP DOLLAR but refused to be spoiled like his Mates who the gods crack thier kernels for by giving them Rich and Affluence at birth and they grow surrounded by Riches. 

As Emeka removed the Buffeted Golden Spoon and feed with Pedestrian plastic Utensils, so he can have the real feeling and taste which has been ways of life for the Middle and less Class, that was when he waltz the music of the Street and started to separate NWA NNA YA and become A Man with BURDEN for the Youths. 

Odinanwa came back from the lands of Americans(place of Yaa Meen and most people came back with some defect either rough life or pierce body) with Vision which he made Passion, he brought back the DECANTER that is trail blazer, we all know that even IPOB will Sit in same Hall with Herdsmen and watch Football Matches without quarrels, with football, there is no Bounds as it brings unification that is Total, and give hope to Youths who ordinarily wouldn't have seen a Wrap of Naira in one bond, but with Grassroot Football such as the one Dr Okeke the Man who took Anambara Football Association  to EUROPEAN height, until Local politics waded inn and puverised the dream and set our Football Political asunder, which did not stop Dr Okeke who founded ASPIRE FOOTBALL CLUB from continuing taking good players abroad to play the Big Boys league and bring back European Bacons home, never to his pocket but growing Flowers now in homes of the players and we know that onye erijuro afo, Adi Aza omee okachie, so he is making many Youths Ome Okachie. 

Little wonder all the Igwe in Anaocha came together and crown him Ikemba di Ugwu Ndi Anaocha, but let's continue the communion solemn walk as I am in good mode to pinch you some fish because I just came back from ORU (The Market of Fish) .

Dr Okeke started Beach Soccer where he creates another Waooo moment, let me not advertise that as one should attend the next one to thank me for the pointer. 

Just be in the spirit of recreation as both his Beach Soccer and the Carnival that always mark the end is a recreation for those Living and not for Ndi Akuko Mama Ngozi na Ndi Yard. 

It is interesting that today he is the "GO TO GUY" when one talk about ANIOCHA LOCAL GOVERNMENT, both Social, Hospitality, Scholarships awarded to those who merit it, and today he is Political Super Heavy weight or let me paraphrase.. The Guy na anyi Ajo aro Politically or just call him a Unifying POWER BROKER na ANIOCHA, even though he seem not interesting in Politics, but he wasn't aware of what the gods deliberated on last meeting, because I am Mkpisi Ndi Egede, I penned down all the decisions and interpretation of the gods and my Lips are sealed, pending ..

Well, the Young Man is a Chip off the Old Block of the CEO of GUO, and the Man seems to be like the provibal "Akwobedi Bean Akwo, Akara na Esi".

My own is that other Youths with NMA NWOKE should borrow from him, the ways of investing on our Youths on life promoting events instead of propping them to Ego Mbute with a short life Spam  as Price Tag.

I love the way he is educating Boys on how go make Canoe and Fishing Rods, not only given them Fish and teaching them how to fish, he makes them to get to the nitty gritty, so they can be versatile on the endeavor and can't be dependant again. 

Just from the grape Vine , heard he is getting ready to Organize another FOOTBALL DERBY to Mark his Brand New Investiture as Ikemba Di Ugwu na ANIOCHA, the tournament  will send many Boys to EUROPE where they will join the Biggers boys for the Bigger pay.

While other of his contemporaries are popping CHAMPAGNE at Night Clubs and dancing DORIME, he is popping new lease of life for the Less Hopeful Youths and he is doing it without the Sound of Music and or IKORO singing him a Dinge. 

I am Mazi Odera POg JP, Last Born Mpa Nnukwu and I come just to Whisper the minds of the gods without apologies ....

As i sign off let me, sing my self a legend for the soul by BOB MARLEY.. Titled One DROP.. 

 "Oo-oo-ooh, yea-ah. Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy! Wo-yoy-yoy-yoy!

Feel it in the one drop

And we'll still find time to rap

We're making the one stop,

The generation gap

Now feel this drumbeat

As it beats within,

Playing a riddim,

Resisting against the system, ooh-wee!

I know Jah's never let us down,

Pull your rights from wrong

(I know Jah would never let us down)

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

They made their world so hard (so hard):

Every day we got to keep on fighting (fighting);

They made their world so hard (so hard):

Every day the people are dying (dying), yeah!

(It dread, dread) For hunger (dread, dread) and starvation"
