 THE LEGEND OF NNAM EZE AKPATAM ENYI , AS resonated by Brain Jotter written by Mkpisi. 


29 Years old Chukwuebuka Amuzie from Imo State, known as brain jotter just met the Brain less Social Media pundits and they gave him aggression just like they gave KC LIMPOPO when he wanted to lift a Nonentity known as OJAZZY from unknown to known, well they succeeded in putting traction on the metamorphosis of the Young and growing Ója player and muted the growth of many younger artist,as LIMPOPO took to the Igbo proverbial reason of Aka nji jide Nwa Ókukó ga abum ori,nwa Ókukó aham gi. (A Man saw a Chick 🐥 that is drowning in flood after a heavy down pour and rescued the Chick, but Children coming out of Hood shouted that he wants to steal the Chicken and the man said, Instead my effort in good deed will make me a thief, Chicken i leave you, as he let the Chick back into the flood).


Once that was done with OJAZZY and LIMPOPO ,they went shopping for another person they will chop winch and they found Mike Ejeagha mana aka ebigo fa na Nsi Aboki.


We know that Poverty comes with ogbaru úrú,' aghaho oghom (Calculating the profits and ommitted the losses and the danger group) .


Since Brain jotter went and visit the Gentleman Mike Ejeagha over the dead musical lyrics of his golden age, which Jotter ressurected, called Nnam Eze Akpatam Enyi, with a Chorus of Gwo gwo gwo Ngwo.. the music was a folktale of Tortoise 🐢 who went to marry kings daughter then, Legends suspect the king was from Óka ETITI.


 Adaeze the daughter said the only Dowry needed is for the husband to bring  life Elephant, for her to Mount and gallivant around the town, which was a heculian task , but Knowing Tortoise who legends said grew up at NNEWI and have the craftiness of the town , he devised unthinkable plan , as he went and meet the Elephant and lied to him that he is coming from the Palace, that king will celebrate his ofalla and needed the Elephant to be the Chairman, which is glorious and marvelous, then Elephant was so elated that he was ready to go instantly and see the King, but tortoise prevailed and scare him into silent jubilation not to provoke the King with sudden visit. 


On the said date, the Tortoise delayed for the day to draw near good enough to go to igba nkwu and the Elephant have waited for hours and fuming with excitement as incoming Chairman of expected Ofalla . 


Ófalla is exclusive Igbo tradition when they celebrate a king, you can find Ofalla in States with decorum for a King and not those who bastardized the office of King by having AUTONOMOUS MOUSE COMMUNITY, where a kindred forms a Town with a King, even Puppets are crowned king in such community and thereby removed the Spectre that should be around the Throne. 


Ofalla is a Unique, lavish and awesome event, where an Igwe should know his grade, it was during one Ofalla that An Igwe of Timber Fibre known as Okpoko,designate another Igwe of no Calibre to go and wash plate for other Igwe with feathers to eat , but that's by the way.


 After that ,many Town stopped making Nwa okpulu igwe ,as he won't stand in committee of Ndi Eze that Tie Wrapper and have one as Garland across his Neck , which is defined in igbo as "ómuma na Ntukwasa" ,the kings that the wives doesn't count how many lump of Meat is in his soup,the Kings that whisper to the gods and the gods answers with thunder and lightning,which makes one to remember the lyrics of Oliver de coque which says "ana enwe Obodo enwe" (There are Lord of every town).


When Tortoise bided his time and found it ripe to deliver the Trophy 🏆 Elephant to the Bride, he now tell Elephant to lower himself and let Tortoise mount him, so they can walk with Elephant stride and make a triumphant entry and on time, then the agitated Elephant ask him to do whatever that is needed as Long as they will be on time and he take his position as the Chairman, well  Nnewi trained Tortoise mounted the Elephant as they embark on the OKA ETITI celebration, as they got closer to the gate and Tortoise raised a musical with his octane voice and say Nnam Eze Akpatam Enyi and the steps of the Elephant was raising Gwo gwo gwo Ngwo, tortoise repeated it again and Elephant ask the Tortoise, Nwa mbe isi na ikpata Onye? (tortoise said he has trapped Elephant to the King and Elephant ask him, what did you just say?) and Tortoise answered Elephant, asim ani nya chebe Enyi, dube Enyi, odika asim na Akpatam Enyi, then he ask ókwó Enyi ga abu isi oche?, Enyi na aga , nam so gi ja azu ..then Tortoise have made Enyi to drop him in front of the Palace gate while he trot ahead with the Rope tied to the Elephant (Tortoise replied Enyi, i call on the land to keep and preserve you and it sound as if i said that i trapped you , is it not you that will be the Chairman?).


Well , the Tortoise get to the King and handed the Rope tied around the Elephant neck which he told elephant that it's just a prop( Instead of Dowry)that will help the Tortoise to climb him and stay steady, not to tumble during the journey. 


The music teaches us to be warry of friends who will compel you to escort him to places, just know for sure the aim as you may be the next Elephant in the room. 


To those who was arguing wether Brain Jotter made Mike Ejeagha popular or reverse is the case , come with me Please..

Back in the days,when Football was pure entertainment,We saw the likes of AMOKACHIE who we heard changed self from Bench to field in Everton and the Coach was livid with anger for such temerity,but on getting into play,he Scored a goal that is interclassical and the Coach was hifiving for the great change.


Kanu Nwankwo was a toast as lanky finisher,.


The god of round leather object called Football,we are talking about JAY JAY AUSTIN OKOCHA was a Marvel,infact you can't talk African football then and not OKOCHA vs the Nation,he mesmerize even FIFA but, our Children know the name but they don't know about the football potency,if tomorrow you ask this children who is the greatest in football,they will be shouting Merci and Ronaldo, they won't know that the two can't even hold Jay Jay boot,so if by next generation when they must have erased his legend and somebody brought back his legend into play,i can assure you that he was make popular to that generation and whoever that raised him made him popular once again.


That music was just a relic but one thing the same Mike Ejeagha sang that translated to his favor now is , Uwa mgbede ka nma (Life at dawn is better) in the music of Uwa mgbede he said that one may toil from morning till he is tired, but his blessings may come at dawn and that's exactly his life as at today. 


Thanks greatly to Brain Jotter who Jotted Gentleman Mike Ejeagha into contest, just as IJELE of all music known as Flavor of Ukwu Sara mbala province ressurected a died Icon Known as Theresa Onuoha as Egedege Music era and made her life to shine again,the dry Bone rose because somebody aided the process.


I am so happy that we have younger Generations paying tribute to our Legends, Making them to smile at dawn when they think they are finished.

 

We still have Youths with Spare igbo blood and not all this RITUALISTIC generation that soak selves into Okeite or Yahoo Plus which is Ogwu ego in real life and a doom that awaits his generation if he will have any. 


I remain Mazi Odera POg JP, Mkpisi Ndi Egede, Minority Opinion writer na South East, Dibia Onu Ike adighi agbalu Ekperima afa, Nwa Chukwu Ku na aka na onwu agaghi egbunwu ya, Akua Aka egenti Ndi Egede, Voice of the gods.
