IKEOHA :WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, KINDNESS, LOVE AND GRACE, ALL ENCOMPASSED IN HUMILITY.   By Cele Okanya  I have always known how you have been blessed with wisdom, knowledge and love for the needy and the down trodden. But recently I discovered how deep you can LOVE expecting nothing in return and the degree of selflessness that underscores your actions, projects and programs in your public life. I have also seen how easily you forgive.  I was in awe seeing the great humility and grace with which you handled the difficult times as you mourned your junior brother. I learnt a lot from you this period. Your life is a body of knowledge.  “The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.” – Seneca. Yet you went through without losing your cool.  Your Excellency, you are carrying a lot of grace. God bless you.  Better Days Ahead! #PublishedPost

TRIBUTE! Gov. Ugwuanyi: Advancing Peace, Development @ 57 By Louis Amoke Seven key attributes define his life story: faith in God, peacefulness, humility, compassion, discipline, vision and forbearance. Attaining 57 years of age on Saturday, March 20, His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, has carved an enviable niche for himself as an outstanding leader with a unique governance philosophy. Gov. Ugwuanyi, fondly known as ‘Gburugburu’, habitually appreciates and acknowledges his beloved ‘God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob and the awesome God of David’, for the bold statement the Almighty has decreed in his life odyssey. His peers readily acknowledge this strikingly humble trait. A leader who stresses consensus, widely recognized by all for his commitment to peace, development and wellbeing of the people, especially the lowly and less privileged, Gov. Ugwuanyi has gone down in history as a phenomenon that stands tall among his contemporaries and tel

ENUGU 2023 AND THE FATE OF AWGU CULTURAL ZONE! Enugu as a State is made up of four distinct cultural zones which are Agbaja/Udi zone, Awgu zone,Nkanu zone and Nsukka zone. From the days of Jim.I.Nwobodo&CC Onoh as the governors of old Anambra state  there has been mutual understanding and cooperation among the four Wawa brothers. And that is why they were able to produce two governors to the detriment of Ndi Agba-Enu(present day Anambra)despite the  fact that later was  richer with more connections as at then. From Old Anambra to present day Enugu State, other zones except Awgu zone has been fairly treated in terms of power rotation and democracy dividends. For instance,Agbaja zone has produced two governors,deputy governor,four ministers and many Ambassadors. Nkanu zone has produced two governors,two deputy governors,three ministers & Ambassadors. Nsukka zone has also produced two governors, deputy governor, minster and Ambassador. Awgu zone Governors=0 Deputy=0 Mi

YOU MAY TRY TO CHANGE THE STORY BUT YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE TRUTH. WHAT WE DESERVE IS APOLOGIES FROM OUR LAW MAKERS AND THE GOVERNOR.  It is sad that the PRAISE SINGERS has started to praise the Governor for stepping down the insensitive bill for life pension for Governors and their Deputies. What a shame! First and foremost it is another confirmation that these appointees think that their job is to praise the Governor even at a time public trust has been breached. Praising the Governor for stepping the bill down is an acceptance that he was responsible for the proposed bill at first instance even though it went in as a privately sponsored bill.  Who can praise a thief who attempted stealing but changed his or her mind because of the load cry the owners of the property? You cannot praise the thief for returning what he or she planned to steal but dropped it due to public outcry. The thief should be the one apologizing. What my people deserve is a public apology from the House

THE MAN WITHOUT PRIDE  A personal little remark on Hon Tochukwu Eze  (Orka), Deputy Mayor, Udenu LGA.  Hon. Tochukwu Eze is a father, husband and the Vice-Chairman of Udenu Local Government Area. He hails from Owerre Okpu-Orba, Udenu, Enugu State. It may be fascinating if I tell a story of him but that is not my interest here. My interest is to say few qualities of his life that has made him stands out and tall among others. In the past years, it was accepted that people were born great, but nowadays, greatness comes from what we do. Hon. Tochukwu Eze is one of those whom their success story is based on dint of hard work and unalloyed loyalty. He is a young jolly fellow with some distinctive virtues that has distinguished him in many ways than one. He is humble, discipline and committed to service. As the Deputy Mayor of Udenu, he has been of great assistance to Hon. Solomon Izuchukwu Onah and shown leadership capacity that spurs inspiration to many especially the younger g

OPEN LETTER TO THE ENUGU STATE PDP EXECUTIVE AND STAKEHOLDERS. Greetings to whom it is concerned. This letter might not have come at the appropriate time than now as my contribution to the success and growth of our party. In recent times in our state, an issue has seemed to emerge about the 2023 general election concerning where the next governorship of our party flag bearer should come from. Some have it that the PDP has a zoning formula in the state even without stating *WHERE, WHEN* and *HOW* it was discussed, coupled with not being able to provide an answer to many questions on this issue which are not limited to: 1. Was the zoning in place before the creation of Enugu State in 1991 or after? 2. Was it before the emergence of Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani or after? 3. Does Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani become the governor before the PDP had their state constitution or after? Going through these three (3) key questions will help us all to know the truth but that is not my aim in this le

* 2023 ELECTION THE STAND OF GREATER AWGU and Rt Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's PROMISE.*  ...... By:  Author Tim Joe. ...... As I pointed earlier on one of my writing, What should have not turned to issues in the *Enugu State political* scene, has now seemed to become one, and that is the issue of the zone, that will produce the next State governor comes 2023. Thinking about the zones in the state, it's a fact that Enugu State is made up of four (4) cultural-historical zones, namely: Nkanu, Udi, Nsukka, and Awgu cultural zones. Talking otherwise about these zones or regarding it as Senatorial District is as not being able to differentiate between the Local Government and Ward. In Enugu State, the classification of Senatorial District is for the Federal Government as the Local Government is for the State and the zones for the state as the Ward, is for the Local Government. In our state leadership structure which tends to follow the zones pattern, two (2) cultural zones - Nk

So my local government of Igbo eze north rolled out drums, planned a rally they called thank you visit for Gov Ugwuanyi but unfortunately Gov Ugwuanyi had more pressing issues to attend to in government house yesterday the rally was going on or held. In fact, Gov Ugwuanyi snubbed the rally Onyeke G Onyeke was announcing here on Facebook and was busy telling whoever wanted to hear about the rally but unfortunately Ugwuanyi gave them the highest embarrassment of their life. Why won't Gov Ugwuanyi snub them? Even he the governor knows that his performance in Igbo eze north can't get him 30% in an exam of 100%. He knows he has nothing to be thanked for in Igbo eze north therefore the honourable thing is to shun such charade organized by political merchandisers and food is ready politicians. Hahaha 😂... The home local government of the governor, Udenu has not organized such a thank you rally since the governor assumed the post even though he has given them good road net

Zoning in Enugu is non-existent. I personally do not have anything against anyone or zone in Enugu State. I love Enugu East and Enugu North Senatorial Zones as much as I love Enugu West Senatorial Zone.  Let me please challenge anyone fanning the ember of zoning to present before ndi Enugu any written agreement or documented video evidence on Zoning of Governorship Candidates in Enugu State.  I do not know how familiar many of us are with the political activities preceding the 1999 election. In that election, former Governor Jim Nwobodo from Enugu East Senatorial Zone campaigned and supported a particular candidate (Name withheld) from Enugu West Senatorial Zone up until the day of the PDP Governorship Election Primaries at Presidential Hotel, Enugu. In that same transition to civil rule, former Governor Okwesirieze Nwodo from Enugu North supported another Candidate (Name withheld) from Enugu West Senatorial Zone, while Hon. Barr. Chief Ugochukwu Agballah from Enugu West su

#Competency/Credibility will Make Enugu state great again. Even as developed as the United State of America is yet the people of America still want a leader who will make America even better and greater.  And in as much as Canada, Germany, UK etc are being described as the first world countries in terms of economy, employment and poverty rates yet the citizens of these countries still want more improvements and sustainability from their leaders. Since the return of democracy in Nigeria in 1999, Enugu state have had a fair share of democracy dividends from Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani to Barr. Sullivan Chime and now Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. These three leaders have tried as much as possible to put Enugu State in the comity of the fastest developing states in Nigeria such as Lagos, Kano, Rivers and  Ebonyi states respectively. However, for this feat to be sustained Enugu state deserves a leader per excellent, a man of the people and of the moment like Sen. Ike Ekweremadu. As a sagacious, p

ODINMA NSUKKA, IS A LIP SERVICE: WHO IS OUR COMMON ENEMY? Nsukka Unity Rally or Mega Rally, call it what you wish took place at Nsukka few months ago. Understandably a people of same history, culture, dialects and above all, same destiny should always seek to be united. Unity brings progress, development and the bedrock for a formidable front to fight their battles. In similar fashion, united, the people of Nsukka can fight their common enemy. But who are our common enemies?  This rally has come and gone! The success or failure of the rally is open for debate. But what is clear now is that the more the organizers shout unity, the more divided we become. The organizers did not ask themselves, why are we divided in the first place? When you fail to do root cause analysis, you will equally fail to find or implement or take needed corrective actions that will bring lasting solution and achieve the lasting unity we seek. The ongoing visit of the organizers to some political lead

NDI ENUGU | POLITICS AND DEVELOPMENT ...THE WAY FORWARD My people, do you want to hear the truth or something beautiful? I’d rather hurt you guys with the truth, than try to be politically correct on the above subject.  The reason Africa has refused to develop till date is because we thrive on non-issues. Africans think that suddenly or miraculously, good things would begin to happen in our continent. No, this isn’t true and until we embraced the best democratic principles, I am afraid we would continue to move in circles ⭕️ with no real growth and development as a people. If I may ask, who really cares where a good Governor hails from? If indeed we claim to be brothers and sisters at Enugu State, then it doesn’t matter to me, where a good Governor hails from.  For me, I love everyone equally. I love my people from Enugu North as much as I love my people from Enugu East and West Senatorial Zones.  If I may ask again, why should love stop at the borders? To move our State fo

#Solo/Orka One Year In Office: A Glance At The Leadership Mantle Of Hon. Solomon Izuchukwu Onah. In accordance with the social tradition, it is my interest to present to you an overview of the stewardship of Hon. Solomon Izuchukwu Onah, in the past one year, as the substantive Chairman of Udenu Local Government Area. The coming of Hon. Izuchukwu Onah and Hon Tochukwu Eze to Udenu as Chairman and vice Chairman respectively, on the 2nd of March 2020, is  much designed than ordinary . Of a truth, Udenu Council Area has been fortunate, fortunate enough in the sense to say that  she has had series of proactive Council leaders,  who had contributed their quota to her growth Beyond politics, Hon. Solomon Onah is a jolly good fellow with matchless empathy and compassion, who  concerns himself more to lifting and improving the condition of others. Some how, and in many ways, this part of him has literally translated to his efficient leadership style. Over the passed year, he has con

IT Development: Site Zonal Office in Enugu, Gov. Ugwuanyi tells NITDA …As state govt partners agency on IT training of physically-challenged youths   Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has urged the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to consider siting its South East Zonal Office in Enugu, in view of the state’s background as the historic capital of the zone and its inherent potentials as an educational and scientific centre. Speaking during the opening ceremony of a 5-day training programme for 50 Persons Living with Disabilities (PLWDs) in Information Technology (IT) and Entrepreneurship, Gov. Ugwuanyi, who spoke through his Commissioner for Science and Technology, Hon. Obi Kama, stressed that the request was also in line with the state government’s passion and commitment to IT, innovation and youth empowerment. The governor disclosed that it was in line with this vision that his administration recently established the Enugu Technology Hub an
