NDIGBO ODABA EJEGHI AWGBU, EJEGHI AWGBU by Mazi Odera POg JP.
An Igbo analytical prose provides "Odaba ejeghi Awgbu,ejeghi Awgbu,Onye Obu arigo Ogbu di be Nna ya "( There is this Wise saying ,it provides, if the demand to Travel to Awgbu,a Town known for First Class Nmanya Ngwo , and on that chagrin or frenzy of traveling to AWGBU and you are indisposed,just climb the OGBU tree that is always in every Big Compound back in the days , after all both of them sound Alike ).
Like it or not,that Pregnant woman have shifted her waist to the position it will be and she will give birth to same specie in contest,so the earlier we revisit the minute of the last meeting and remind selves that anyi no na Óku ma Uguru apua (We Stooped at the Furnace before the advent of Harmattan) and we mustn't forget that when one have counted hundreds,you can't scare him by citing ninety nine .
We have being despised,we have being butchered during the Genocide of 1967 to 1970 and we were given 20 pounds which was called Last Supper Fund.
Our sweat were called abandoned properties,but we bought not only them back ,we rewrote the history of individual wealth creating by taking our developmental gospel without bounds to all Nooks and Crannies of the Nation and Abroad.
They tries to make people resent us ,they did not tell them that if NDIGBO remove hands from any property or site ,the value will be what it was ..a desolate land and swamp,but by the touch of Ndigbo,a swamp will be nick named VGC instead of Maroko, it's not show off , it's onataruchi.
As Ethnic most segregated against, ETHNIC most jaundicely treated, the most Despised for being progressive ,the Elites of the sides hated our Guts for showing ways to their citizens who they caged ,who they reduced to apologetic second class brothers ,we showed them a way out of the quandary and the Elites that gave them persecution as leverage got angry for Us daring to shine light where they invested darkness.
Don't be fooled ,our sin is trying to set Nigeria on progressive pedestal,while the selected few wants wealth to be dispensed based on Surnames and class as old Parental sage , instead of sharing patrimony to Masses,they prefer to have it and have others worship them for any given meal .
The threats and rumors of War shall not be our albatross,but not doing enough to Counter it and get a lighted plan B become a Sad onwu Cholu igbu Nwa Nkita ,won't allow the destined to die Dog to smell the Excreta.
Was it not foretold that Igbo adighi agba Ósó mmiri ma ozughi fa Aru?.
Even legends know that a protruded Branch of a Trunk doesn't harm a Man Twice,because once the person won't allow self to go through it again ,as you have mentally marked self safe from repetition.
We should make haste while the Sun Shine,it is obvious that we can't be considered when National treasure are being shared or discussed,which brings me to Plan B,the OSO CHUBA NWATA syndrome..
Don't forget we are part of the TRIPODIAL stage,but the balance is not considered,so they are hacking off the balance off one of the legs ,which guarranttee that the Tripod will stumble and crash face down ,it doesn't take a science to prove it .
As much as our Governors are working for self and never for the state ,we should remind them that where they stand is on our alter, and should the horizontal Hatred filled with persecution escalate,even them will suffer the sequence and we the masses suffer the consequences .
Without more pontification,they should form MKPUKE where the Timbers and Calibers shall be assembled, brought into IFE ANA EME,set certain Waters around South East apart and sale the project of building a Wharf to them ..
Project build us a WHARF,where all this Money taunting Billionaires will invest with Pride as it is a known fact that North or South home is the Best .
We already have existing ORIENT REFINERY in NTEJE,UMUERI Axis,as DANGOTE built his at Ibeju Lekki which is rated as the world largest,we can empower our own as South East most functional.
We can start a Railroad that will criss Cross South East and make same a splendour,this can be handled by individual money bags ,while those in Government continue stealing us blind as usual ,and we may not even bother them .
Let NDIGBO Governor's hold a meeting and with combined determination resolve to build Wharf on Private arrangement ,I know excavation of shallow water ways will give us an Ocean,if Dubai a dessert can do it,then we can ,they can sale the shares which I know NDIGBO will be so happy to invest heavily into.
DANGOTE built the biggest Refinery,we can build Mini but workable Refineries.
Onadim ka our Richer Men still do not know that they are not loved by peers on other divide,they are not celebrated and can never be greased with accolades,we should know na onwero ife Mmadu ga emelu Nwa Enyi ya Nwanyi ka ókpó ya Daddy,you can even use your teeth to excavate Ekwere and the Society we are into will still think you are Tufiakwa.
If after the Hercullian display during the Genocide and our Engineers were not integrated into the system to show the process and prowess,just know that the Nation love to live a Gimcrack existence.
We should make haste while the Sun shines ,we should build some of those things that we needed to aid our communal life ,just in case this pushing and shoving becomes a Norm, afterall it is said na nkwucha aburo Ujo.
Our Politicians and Rich Men will think that if push comes to shove ,they may or prefer to migrate,but don't Forget that Abroad doesn't respect Old age ,they Dump you in DADDY DAY CARE just like they dump Children in day care , but back home you are revered , respected with sincerity and youths continue paying you Homage ,but outside here they will accept you are liability which you are , so they abandon you in a warehouse, spiking your drugs little by little ,so you die quicker than creation provided.
You may think "Let me move my wealth Overseas" but I can assure you that they will help you and hide it away from your family as they will help to end you faster and smartly,then all you laboured for shall be in Vain,maybe your corpse will be brought back home as Ozu town Council and buried as lost as and found.
Lastly, Alaigbo have some security challenges ,but if NNEWI can weave a knighted Security around it now and make it safer ,every other town can ape it ,just know na obu Aka Melu Azu Mgbakuru/ogbako (Any Bent dry Fish was the work of a dedicated hand )
Okwu aburo nri,onabu atuaru omaru omaru,atuaru ofeke, ofenye isi na Ofia ,at the end of Life whenever it ended,however it ended,I will stand before whatever I meet at Judgement seat and say that I cried ENOUGH,but Onye agwalu kwe agwaya Ozo .
Good Morning in Voice of IKEMBA OJUKWU to Ken Saro Wiwa when He was Sentenced to dead by his masters who he worked with in close unit during the Genocidal execution and he was pontificating even to Ndigbo he hated with passion.
I am Mazi Odera POg JP and I come to us with the Flute of Ojadike.
