Incidentally Barrister Chidi is my personal attorney, if it becomes necessary I will definitely engage another lawyer to oppose him in the court law on the issue of Okpofe division. TILL THY KINGDOM COME I am oppose to Okpofe division however I sincerely respect his humble opinion.
Some of us who are very passionate about our great community Okpofe knows that a lot has gone wrong. So much that the excitement is no longer there to visit home. Amongst others, it is a big shame that more than a year ago our late Eze died and the traditional mourning period observed yet we are not near to selecting another Eze; Young girls are been raped every now and then at Okpofe secondary school by our younger brothers and cousins. Eddy's violent death in his own bedroom, in his own village, before his kids and wife is the climax of it all and I do not think we should keep quite anymore. On a personal note, I benefited from Eddy's generosity and extreme humility. I cannot recall visiting home without him bringing me a gallon of fuel free to power my little generator in the village and above all he is so humble and dedicated if not fanatical about the welfare of his elder brother- Dee Vita.
I thank all the new comers for their positive contributions especially on the insecurity in Okpofe but should we continue to pay lip service? I was privileged to attend OIU home and abroad meeting on two occasions, of course there is no doubt from my observation that our problem mainly is in the leadership arising from extremely arrogance on the majority of our Chiefs and Elder brothers. This group of people has arrogated total wisdom, knowledge and understanding to themselves alone to the point that they would not take advise nor wise counselling from some of us. It is as a result of this lack of humility in the leadership at home that has caused us the division and other problems we are suffering today in the community. Much as a greater number of us are are irked by the happing yet my humble opinion in conclusion of this article is that we should LET GO OUR GRIVIANCES AND COME TOGETHER TO SAVE OURSELVES AND COMMUNITY. SIDON LOOK OPTION IS NOT THE BEST AT ALL.
I am seriously appealing to OIU in America (sorry ODA) in my personal capacity to let go some of their grievances IF ANY and MOTIVATE THINGS TO HAPPEN, I strongly believe that with the quality of Okpofe sons, daughters and wives in America and some of us down here we can redress urgently our problems. LET US GET OUR SECURITY BACK, LET US GET A NEW EZE, LET US REHABILITATE OKPOFE SECONDRY SCHOOL AND PROTECT THE YOUNG GIRLS ETC.
If we do not act decisively on these ugly issues NOW, tomorrow may be too late. Yesterday it is the young girls been raped in their school premises, Eddy has follow, who knows whose turn tomorrow? MA OBUM MA OBU GI
