The TZAR of OKA ETITI and the Dread by Mkpisi Ndi Egede. 

"Don't cry for me, Argentina

The truth is

I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance" 

Was a sorrowful Song, created to mark the Burial of the deaths by Eva, and to me it is mournful episode, especially when a town is dying and for me POg, I say DON'T CRY FOR ME AND US Ndi OKA ETITI. 

MANDATORS in one of his superlative all time chanted and I provide "Here we come again in another style, at last is Born is a RAT race time. 

Here we come again, not just another Song, atleast a Born is a RAT race time...." 

OKA ETITI use to be the cynosure of all eyes back in the days when we thrive with BICYCLE SPARE PARTS as sources and source of our wealth , when we trade with Fear and dedication, that was the Era we Tar street or Communal roads by individual effort , gave scholarships and we served as onuru Ube Nwanne agbana oso(When a brother is in despair, do not forsake). 

Towns claim to be Ndi Oka Etiti and even birds of the Air sang Dinge for Us because we are what others craved to be.. 

Though the communal pain we suffer today did not start with the shift of the Unfortunate Deads that happened in Both Divide(MBAISE and MBA NA ABO) , where cream of our Men became collaterals even when unrelated events tries to tie incidents to communal discrepancies which escalated the tense atmosphere and led us further into the abyss. 

But this days after the episode of Madness that tormented the Town from Mid eighties left us in Bounds and scattered the Peace we enjoyed. 

Then the Era of Afia Nnunu and Asha Ntu sufficed, our boys left the Path of life and wade the Path of Ocha Gbute and they no longer care about good name, they despise posterity, they want prosperity by crooks, they want to be rave of the moment which was what brought us to the present quagmire. 

Well, I can say as Mkpisi Ndi Egede that we have to be genuinely sorry for the foreign heads our supplies ruined, we have to atone for lives ruined that we may be Loud with our illicit money, if not the Local dangers we will reap shall be unprecedented. 

It is on record that our town is now the Bed of atughige aghorukwa around us. 

We sow the Devils Apple and about to reap the whirlwind. 

We truly need to have repentance, and bury some Ego and stop playing God as that is fasted route to be ousted, as the Lord is never in contest with Human. 

Moving on to the Good side and Good News of the Town.. 

May I announce with TINY SMILE adorning my innocent Angelic face, that OKA ETITI MICRO FINANCE is among the 180 qualified to carry on the business of Micro banking , out of over 800 Operational micro Finance Banks across the Nation. 

Others may loose the license and will discontinue or little extension may be given but we are home safe. 

Though with lots of misappropriation of funds under the previous Board, but with the New Board controlling the affairs of the Bank, the Bank is now DIGITALIZED, SENDS you ALERT for and on any transaction,upgraded the account numbers to synch with Commercial banks which is 10 Digits. 

Despite the huge unpaid Loans ranging from those owning over 156 Million, 125 Million, Infact with over 400 Million Naira in debts which EFCC is on the trail to recover the funds of innocent traders banking with the Micro and embezzled by the Rich and powerful. 

Presently AMFB Have about 250 Million Naira fixed in different banks and are encouraging our Youths to Come home and take loan to trade or start Artisan with little interest .. 

It's time our Youths should rise up and face reality and stop chasing shadow all in the name of Ego Mbute and start Ego juru Oyi. 

Finally may I say my mind about the EKE OKA  Shops HULLABALOO.. 

As far back as 1981 Mr Joseph Okeke who came back from LONDON, A LAB TECH from Umudunu looked at EKE OKA and lamented the dilapidated status and he met with like souls as they are mostly domicile in ENUGWU and they aggregated Fund and build us EKE STALLS.. 

Action Youth League Enugu started BUILDING EKE OKA with Patrick Ezimuo as PG as initiated and sponsored by our Enugwu resident Elites , after they build the market they said  none of the builders will benefit despite the huge sum donated or gifted toward the project. 

That it is only gift to humanity and copral work of mercy for Ndi Oka Etiti resident in the village and taking care na mmadu akoro na Obi, unlike now we have handed our home to Ndi Mbimbi ...

The shops presently at Eke are where our Big men have Hope of flexing muscles, thereby chasing our Youths into Dibia and other petty things because they don't have any place of trading they can call thier own or can afford. 

If we want a way forward, I suggest.. 

All Shops in Eke Oka belonging to any past of present EXCO shall be revoked because it is outright Abomination and usurpation of positions handed to them..

Some Shops are owned by the living and the same where carved into multiple shops and you want them to pay for one Tiny one you wanted to restrict them into, out of the many created off the previously owned ? I cholu ka Chukwu kpo gi Oku?. Tianu Chukwu egwu bikonu. Other towns gave grants to those resident at home just to make sure na mmadu akoro na home front. 

 Anybody that has a shop at EKE must be given a Shop of his Choice, the rest shall be divided by ballot for those who are presently shopping at home and those who are retired and wants to trade at home, not those pretending to make it branch office, there must be something inviting that will keep ours at home to avoid Ndi Mbiaru mbia taking over our homes completely as aborigines.

We have two horrible Deaths in Our town but the Igwe and his cabinets did not rise to delve into it to unravel and reassure the Town of our safety , neither did the PG or VIGILANTE rose to gbaa Nika Nika ka odika mmadu Ono na Uno, even the Youths stay cool as if they are under a Spell.

The PG should rise up and have register of all Ndi Mbim Bi resident and or visiting the town, that can be done through Kindred officials, then it will be easier to monitor them, most of them na agwo Ajo ogwu that the owner of the house dreads coming back home, but put check and supervision, many lost souls shall be returned and the very bad one, agba a fa leave Township.

Finally, the Rich among the Town should get together and pull resources, ka AKWA all the Ozu okpoo Nile in Town, so that the spirits shall be perficied and they rest in peace.

Ndi Oka rise up and let's take back our town Maka anyi anopiago Mkpuru Amu just because we care less, it will get to a time that you can't come home anymore.

Only our town do they enforce SIT AT home around us, they use the tables of our market women to do such, meaning na ife na eme UGU no inside the UGU and, a stitch in time saves Nine pence.
