ANAMBARA BIG BOYS , LET'S REASON,by Last Born Mpa Nnukwu.
We shut down ABUJA with lots of immature Exotic display of wealth, showing the world that Ndigbo are handling the bastardize economy so well, infact we show we have arrived even though with gimcrack vehicle which we mistake for splendor.
It show we are survivors ,culminating from the 20 pounds given to us after the Genocidal war of 1970, when the nation carried out a ferocious plot to eradicate Ndigbo after the gruesome eradication planned by the British,but perfected by other Tribes who think Us a threat,even when we are the purveyor of One indivisible Nigeria.
Let's not make the envy caused by our prodding become a morbid feeling against us.
We can't force them to love us,but let's not make them despise us with perfect hatred caused by our bragado.
We survived the torment ,yet we have never grasp reason of developing our mutual home as people surrounded by hostiles,we forgot the teaching and allusion of "onye Ndi iró agbalu okirikiri na Eche Ndu ya Nche mgbe nile".
We haven't gotten the concept of zuzugbe like the Indians and Jews ,who knit together and form unbreakable green empire with lots of value added to humanity, especially their own people,They live like King making one another a prince and that's lifting that can't be quenched.
Dear Odogwu's who dole out monies in millions to show arrival of greatness,we know it's your sweat and nobody especially the poor who has the Powers to advise you on ways to invest or make proper use of your Money,but that doesn't mean we can't suggest to you how your inhumane method is hurting us and making us the victims of backlash, we make innovative ideas and let you use your God given IQ to implement as you deem fit.
What you can't forget is that ekwughi ekwú melu ónu,ma ekwúe anughi melu Nti.
If you look deeply into the turmoil in Igbo Land,you see the devil STARTED manifesting when THE SHOW OF MANIPULATIVE AFFLUENCE took over the natural ambiance of wealth.
When we started displaying Power of uncultured wealth during burials and over promoted the madness with Social Media, to extent in became social menace.
When display of AFFLUENCE activated very Deadly and ugly Peer pressuring, when we don't think of consequences of our delusion,we simply want a good life at all Stake and Sacrifices,and that brought the consequences which included the IMMORAL Ritualism,Selling of Human parts, OKEITE invocation and Kidnapping,all the above started to join the Less privilege to the Center of Greatness even though it's sacriledge.
When the boys discovered that the move was In vain ,they dug deeper into devils valley in search of elusive wealth,so they can belong,little did they know that , it's all illusion.
Once the display of affluence steeped down ,then the Government were able to bring back semblance of Security into Alaigbo.
That was after they have turned Alaigbo to ghost town and center of Tufiakwa,which forced many of us to EXILE our traditional events, because the evil our Youths started took over the Land.
Now we can drive certain neighborhoods in ANAMBRA,inch into some areas of IMO STATE and commute some towns in Abia State without impediments as it used to be,though some areas are still Red Zones, where no LGA Works or any political activities work as well.
It's places ceded to powers that conquered the place.
Please my dear Men of wealth, kindly desist from that excessive display of affluence, so you can't continue egging our youths into ócha gbute kind of life pursuit ,you can bring lots of your wealth to empower many youths and they won't venture into frivolities and vain pursuit of inanities.
Instead of gifting us with KEKE,why not give us industries or call youths of different communities and set them up with business or source of living,not just fund to make Merry...
Currently the Government in some South East are doing wonderfully well in rehabilitating our Roads, infact some have added caveat that you smile with innovative doing,but can't do what is expected of Government and do what is expected of Individual.
Instead of gifting gift that is just to hype up emotions,why not drag some Igbo out from the poverty Dungeon?
So your mate and others will emulate the way forward, by the time you know it there will be guaranteed healthy wealth all around you, and you can walk around without security details,as you will be a Lord and not a bore.
When poverty is retired,then you can walk as king ,not when you display AFFLUENCE and many do not know the source of his next meal ,he can make you his Diner.
With the wealth on display by UmuIgbo,we should have our YOUTHS into POLITICAL relevance and then we can also be Ethnic group with wherewithal,as for now ,we have pennies that can be called pebbles without POLITICAL protection.
Wealth without Political backing is just like Candle in the wind.
We need to be silent,while we build a political edifice,while we plan survival of our empires and having said that ,I am off but on .
