The enclave called South East is 100% occupied by the Igbo, who share common affinity, religion, culture and tradition.

Record has it that before the civil war broke out, Ndigbo were the only major ethnic group in Nigeria that held the economic strength and future of the country. However, the tribe produced and manufactured virtually everything the citizens of the country were using internally.

The people called, Ndigbo are business oriented who made remarkable impact in the development and growth of the nation. The salient point to be noted is that, throughout Nigeria, no community, Local Government, state or region can develop without the major input by NdIgbo.

These crop of individuals in the South East are detribalized, patriotic and nationalistic in every issues concerning the Nigerian enclave. They are displaying genuine love for the nation than those benefiting from its natural resources.

Regrettably, the zone despite its contribution to nation building since independence in 1960, has suffered high level of betrayal, stabbing, marginalization and political humiliation.

The most annoying part of the whole scenario to justify the obvious hatred of the Igbo was reflected by President Muhammadu Buhari in his appointments and other power sharing under his leadership.

Similarly, President Buhari, in his imagination and consternation described Ndigbo as a DOT in a circle. By this, political analysts say that Mr President does not see anything important in them nor take them as threat to his party’s political life wire.

What Mr President failed to understand is that for the entire Igbo nation to occupy over 35% of the total population of the country, it is enough to see Ndigbo as full CIRCLE rather than a DOT.

Our consolation is not that Mr President and his APC hate Ndigbo in no small measure, but our hope is that there are still some of our leaders who still believe that the Igbo race is indispensable. Such leaders include but not limited to Senator Samuel Anyanwu who without delay dispelled the attribute of Mr President against Ndigbo. The Igboness in him is not in doubt, hence the sponsorship of South East Development Commission (SEDC) Bill.

In his power sharing and allocation of appointments, Mr President has not hidden his hatred and glaring marginalization of Ndigbo who had without grudge, stood their ground for his emergence in 2015.

If Mr President, as the father of the nation could openly call Ndigbo a DOT, what the APC and its leaders are doing in the secret to totally erase the tribe is what only God can see.

Nigeria is made up of six regions with Ndigbo, Hausa and Yoruba taken the front seat as the majority. The question is, if the Igbo are one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, why then would Mr President continues to show that he does not love them nor consider them qualified to hold unto sensitive positions in his government?

The truth of the matter is that despite the threat and uncountable insults on Ndigbo, their resolute quest to develop Nigeria has never been deterred, wane nor reduced.

This is how to know those that love their country. It is wrong that those claiming ownership of the country do not have any stake in Nigeria. Reason be that for one to be a stakeholder, such person must have a stake 

Glaringly speaking, the worth of businesses of Ndigbo across the nation is more than 50 trillion. This is because, an average Igbo person sees his immediate environment whether in the North, South, West and East as where he should be part of for its development.

To conclude, it is an aberration, disgraceful and total insult on Ndigbo that after their steadfastness, commitment, dedication, investment and obedient to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, those expected to reciprocate the gesture are obviously showing signs of distrust, staving, and ingratitude to their wellbeing.

Until the interest of Ndigbo and their environs are respected and acknowledged to be indispensable to nation building, the myriads of the nation problems occasioned by insecurity, corruption, economic sabotage and administrative incompetence will continue to elude Nigeria.

By so doing, we shall be expecting Imo and Nigeria of our collective dreams!

No one is born poor but your ability to change your mindset and develop the right attitude which in turn leads to success and wealth.

He said that God created every human being in his own image and likeness. In order words, the youths are special and wonderfully created to add value to the society. The Youths should be made to understand that God deposited something special and wonderful which only the wise can see and feel.

The community leader has cautioned and kicked against the upsurge and high rate of crime in the society, attributing it to the youths of the country who thinks that the only road to success comes through crime and other social vices. 

Therefore, the short cut to success will equally lead to destruction if one do not take precautions and avoid those companies capable of leading you to destruction and early death.

The new face of Anara acient kingdom highlighted that being under pressure to make money can lead the youths into doing evil things just to make money and regarded as a big boy before the society.

"I am living witness of what God can do in a man's life and this is the more reason I have used myself as a case study knowing fully well that one of the reasons he left Lagos and moved down to Abuja is to avoid being under pressure to make it in life as everyone was in a haste there in Lagos to make it big".

High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu has taken the bull by the horns to contribute his quota to making Nigerian youths greats again. "Who said you can't leave your present environment to a new one?

"According to him", the challenges of "Mr. A have made it and Mr. B have made it also without even knowing the source or how they made it, is one of the things that pushes young men into money ritual Killings, kidnapping, Yahoo plus and unimaginable crimes just to make quick money and die young". Youths must shun to imitate their friends and colleagues and work hard and pray for God numerous blessings. 

High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu's relocation to Abuja and through the mercy of God helped him to find his feet in life, as he  ventured into Real Estate Development, and today God have blessed him legitimately and he is a well known successful businessman and Billionaire with numerous Estates built across the Cities of Abuja, CityGate Homes Estate 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, Newly Built CityGate Spa and Salon Abuja, the Abuja Royal Suites, Mbano Royal Suites in Imo state, the Ongoing Construction of Ikoyi Royal Suite in Lagos and other ongoing projects and investments in Nigeria that has Secured employment opportunities for our youths.

He admonished the youths to believe in God and work hard so that God can bless them legitimately. 

The Onowu of Anara Ancient Kingdom Duru Mike Ejiogu has called on government at all levels  to create Job employment for the struggling Nigerian Youths because that is the only way to cut-down corruptions and crimes in Nigeria, remember An Idle man is the devil's workshop. 

When employment is successful created by the government at all levels, our youths will be so busy to the extent that they will not have time for activities that are not adding value to them and will forget crimes like banditry, kidnapping, yahoo and other Social vices that has taking better parts of our youths today.

High Chief Mike further demonstrated his passion, love, determination and willingness to reduce the high crime rate in the country by employing a good number of the Nigerian youths who are wandering about without hope and future.

The likes of High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu should be applauded and given opportunity to administer in the affairs of the Nigerian youths and I bet you, no one will talk or complain about insecurity and other Social vices that limiting the progress of the youths.

Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu has no doubt shown that he knows how to reduce the crime rate and get youths back to reasoning again. 

This singular demonstrated of love and ability to change the mindset and reasoning has made me to develop a special love for High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu and respect for his person.

If a private individual like High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu can have a good number of the youths under his monthly Pay-Roll today just to ensure that they stop crime and criminality. What about the government?

This man of so many part has challenged leaders to imbibe the spirit of restoring the lost values in the youths by not using the youths as thugs during the forthcoming general election.

Our youths should be shown the road that leads to success and not to use them as willing tool to ferment troubles.

Thank you High Chief Mike Duru-Ejiogu for being a shoulder upon which many youths lean on for survival. You're not just a role model but an inspirations to many Nigerian youths out there for providing and creating an enabling environment for them to excel and make progress in life.

... Says Peter Obi has raised the odds for Ndi-Igbo 

The former Governor of Imo State, Hon Emeka Ihedioha has debunked the news making rounds that he called Igbos who are not supporting Peter Obi Saboteurs. While addressing Newsmen yesterday at Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu, Ihedioha stated that the reports was the handiwork of mischief makers who use every opportunity to tarnish his soaring image. 

“In my speech, I made mention of two political parties, PDP and the APC, I said that the presidential candidate of my party the PDP, stands a better chance to win the presidential elections. Nigerians have suffered a lot of evil from the APC administration and anybody supporting the APC to return to power is a saboteur to the progress of Nigeria” Ihedioha said. 

He continued.. “Anybody who said I called those supporting Peter Obi saboteurs should produce the video clip. Peter Obi is my good friend for over two decades now, despite our current political differences, I am happy for what he’s doing because he has raised the odds for Ndi-Igbo, his aspirations have proven that indeed, Igbos are not second class citizens in Nigeria, even though I had wished he remained with us in PDP which is a mainstream party that has presence in every pulling unit across Nigeria, but I wish him well.”

“I am a pan-Igbo, nobody loves the Igbos more than I do. When I was the Governor of Imo State, you would recall that I revived the Ahiajuko Lecture Series which united the entire Igbos to collectively chart a cause for our interest in the Nigerian State. There is no way I could have called my brothers who desire good governance saboteurs”.. he said. 

The former Deputy Speaker was at the Enugu Airport to receive the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubarka for a South East PDP Stakeholders meeting which took place at the Base Event Center, Enugu.

It was President Buhari himself who succinctly captured the true description of what Governor Uzodimma has done in Imo state within this period of two and half years.. The President, while being driven along the internationally standard.reconstructed Orlu/Owerri road penultimate week,  apparently to show his surprise and joy, had looked at Governor Uzodimma tight inside  his eyes and said to him " Your Excellency, you have written your own sorry. I wonder what any Governor would invite me again to commission in his state  that will be more than this" He also repeated this same  statement while addressing a cross section of Imo people that same day. 

Two weeks after the president had visited Imo, Governor Uzodimma again  stoned the people  with arguably the biggest of achievements that gladdened the hearts of all Igbo people in general and Imo people in particular. The Governor, few days ago announced the approval he secured from the federal government for the dredging of  the Orashi/Njaba/Oguta lake River down to the Atlantic Ocean that will see to the realization of the first ever Sea Port in the South East. Just two days ago, top officials of the Nigeria Navy and Nigerian Inland Water Ways Authority (NIWA) were in Imo state to fine tune the processes ahead of the commencement of work. They, together with the Governor visited the areas in Oguta LGA.

However, while Imo people savour the concomitant joy attached to  the project, it is  important to point out that these great achievements were only possible because the Governor established and has kept a very cordial relationship with the President and the federal government instead of staying in Imo to attack the centre and the president. So it is right to say that these achievements were the bye products of that relationship. This is just a fact. 

It is not easy to have the president visit a state twice with a year and also have the same president obliged to commission projects in the same state three times within 18 months in an administration  that is two and half years. Except, perhaps for the president's own state Kastina state where he regularly visits to observe Muslim festivities, no other state in Nigeria has broken that record except Imo under Uzodimma. 

It is an incontrovertible fact that Senator Hope  Uzodimma has shown in clear terms that when other leaders  are sitting down, he is standing up and when they stand up, he gets outstanding. The Governor has done things that hitherto were considered impossible or beyond the capacity of  any state Governor. He has demonstrated an uncommon courage and a clear vision that are rare in many leaders. He has indeed, like an Eagle soared above the sea level. He has shown that he is not at the same thinking level with those who stay here in Imo or  Abuja  to only conjecture  petty gossip and blackmail against the Governor  with the view to dragging him down. While they continue to do this, Uzodimma has continued to show stamina of resistance and has continued  towering.

As the Governor himself had said, the dredging of the Orashi River when completed will  translate to massive economic boom for the South East and has the potential of generating over 350 thousand direct and indirect jobs for the teeming youths of our region. Clearly, this is the biggest project and the key that wlll unlock the latent treasure in the soil of South East zone. It is a salutary development fot the Igbos particularly with the high business velocity of the Igbos. You can imagine having  Ships carrying goods of our businessmen and women from abroad landing here instead of Lagos or Calabar.  It will save billions of naira in landing and clearing cost which in turn will translate to huge revenue and gain to Imo and Anambra states. 

It is also instructive to observe that aside from the construction of the two federal roads of Orlu to Owerri and Owerri to Okigwe and the attraction of the dredging of the Orashi River, the governor  has equally attracted some audacious federal government projects here in Imo state. Recall that only few weeks ago, the Governor Sen Hope Uzodimma got the approval of the President to establish a FUTO teaching hospital at FMC Owerri and equally got the federal government to elevate the status of ALVAN Ikoku federal College of Education to now a federal University of education. 

Additionally, the Governor equally got the approval of the federal government to award a 10Megawatts hydro electricity sub station at the novel Balllon technology site at Otamiri/Nwaorie River. This, when actualized will ensure an interrupted power supply in the state particularly within Owerri Urban with a boom in business.  These are laudable projects that could only be achieved in a state that has a visionary leader like Hope Uzodimma. And also in a state that has a good relationship with the centre which is a departure from what obtained in the past when such relationship was stunted. 

Overall, what these imply is that Imo state has a Governor who is prepared and equipped for leadership. Imo has a man who thinks and looks while standing on the shoulders of Giants. Imo has a Governor who has developed a strong impunity against all forms of infectious blackmail and pull Him down Syndrome in the state. I therefore glorify God that I have as a Boss a man who is behind these unprecedented and great achievements.

Truthfully Yours, Nwamkpa Modestus is my name and I approve of this piece.
