I am not here to lay curses on him because I'm sure by now, he has received enough of it. I am here to talk to us, who may be nursing the intention of following same part.
Engr. J said something the day we were coming back from an event held in one of the eastern part of Nigeria and with the recent development, what he said is beginning to make a lot of sense to me: Ögwü ego (money ritual) does not favour an Abakaliki man. The soil of Abakaliki is totally against it and there's always a huge consequences.
A typical Abakaliki man is known for hardwork.
An Abakaliki man works very hard to take care of his family. An Abakaliki man cares so much about human lives as well as pays so much respect for the dead.
Recently, a lot of evil acts is taking place in our communities. This also reminds me of what one of the Ngbo Princes said last week: Before now, an Ngbo man cannot shed the blood of an Izhiangbo man or that of an Izzi man and vice versa, but these days, our youths shed the blood of their brothers on daily basis & this is one the reasons why youths die increasingly. In his words, "ö bürü le iphe i metaru e gbudu ghu, ke onye özö metara e gbuo ghu", which means, "if you don't die as a result of what you did, then what another person did can as well kill you."
I and a list of others does not support killing of any sort. Things are difficult, yes we know that. But that does not justify killing a fellow man to make things easy for yourself. Kpö ihe öjö ihe öjö!
Brothers, when such evil comes to your mind, resist it and command it to flee.
Pull yourself away from friends that will convince you to commit any form of crime.
We shout with a loud voice NJHÖ JEKWA EZHI O!
Njhö jekwa ezhi!!
Njhö jekwa ezhi!!!
We refuse to associate with evil; It's unfavorable to us.
And whether we accept it or not, nothing pays like hardwork.
People of the world, embrace God!
Nigeria, embrace God!!
Ebonyi State, embrace God!!!
Ö ga-adiri anyi na mma. It is well with us.
Peace!
