THE GOVERNOR AT 50

Jubilation Galore As Nollywood Icon Lancelot Imasuen Takes Birthday Celebration To Orphanage Homes (photos) 

It was all joy and jubilations as Nollywood Icon, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen yesterday continued the celebration of his 50th birthday by visiting orphanage homes.

As part of activities marking the celebrations, "D Guvnor himself" alongside his friends and members of D Guv@50 global committee visited two orphanage homes, the Aid For Change and Amadin Orphanage home in Benin City.

The international award-winning filmmaker charged the children at both orphanages advising them not to allow present circumstances to deter them from actualising their life aspirations. He also prophesied into their lives and prayed for them to grow up and become positive contributors to society.

He recalled how he normally takes his kids to orphanage homes every year so they can be able to appreciate the privilege they currently enjoy while encouraging the children to instil the disposition of kindness in their heart.

The kids were elated as the Nollywood star brought a lot of goodies which includes, deep freezers, mattresses, bags of rice, cartons of indomie, baby clothes, slippers, bedsheets, tissue rolls, water and so many other items of necessity.

The highlight of the occasion was the cutting of the birthday cake by the celebrant and the kids at the orphanages. Thereafter he was seen eating and sharing the cake amongst them.

The children in turn took time out to pray for the Superstar and his donors after a powerful praise and worship session led by the kids.

It was all about a show of love from the Nollywood legend. In his words...

And this he had to say

' I am sincerely grateful to God for attaining this milestone and like I earlier stated my birthday  is centred on the State of the Nation, and giving back from the little I have to the orphanage homes is a way of showing gratitude and appreciation to God, everybody deserves to be loved, and I will try my best to share the ones I can"

THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, BEING IGBO IS IN THE BLOOD

Dickson Iroegbu

I am surprised that anyone will ever think I am campaigning for Chibuike Amaechi, infact I am shock!. But of course Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is an Igbo man (you can't take that fact away!); that he once denied his ancestry for selfishness is terrible, but it is pardonable - (he is a prodigal Igbo man).  

THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, BEING IGBO IS IN THE BLOOD.

I have since announced Peter Obi (okute ndi-Igbo) as my choice for President of Nigeria in 2023 - that has not changed. 

UMUNNA, COME LET US PLAY THE NIGERIAN POLITICS. 
#SOUTHEAST2023.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

The other ethnic groups in former Eastern Nigerian have been made to believe that Nd'igbo were responsible for the under development in their areas. As a matter of fact even outside former Eastern Nigeria that assumption still holds. A Benin classmate in medical school said his father told them that the Igboman is very wicked. That if you employ  Igboman in your rubber farm to tap rubber for you, he will tap the rubber tree until the tree dies. I was amazed. The rubber owned by the Benin man, he employs an Igbo to tap, will wait for the rubber to die b4 stopping the poor Igbo tapper? You and l know it is not true, others may swallow it line hook and sinker.The indigenes of Niger Delta first went to School, embraced civilization before Igbos in the hinterland. They were better prepared for civil service/white collar jobs as at the time Nd'Igbo were still hunting rabbits and farming in the bush. As at the time Rev. Hope Wadell came to Calabar about 1846, the Obong of Calabar and the family were already trading with Europeans and keeping records, so they had education. Coincidentally today 27th July makes it 163 years Christianity, followed by education came to Igbo land through the expedition of Samuel Ajayi Crowther. They arrived Onitsha 27th July 1857. This brought about, evangelisation on both banks of Niger-Asaba on the left and Onitsha on the right. First Europeans, Portuguese arrived Nigeria-Ishekiri/Benin Kingdom 1485, long before slave trade. 

Even with this the Delta Igbos embraced education more than the Benin, Urhobo and the Ishekiris after 1857. When Midwest was created out of Old Western region, in the 60s of the 12 permanent Secretaries that left Ibadan to Benin, the new capital, 9 were delta Igbos.  Of the 9 Doctors at Benin Central Hospital, 8 were delta Igbos. The Judiciary had Idigbe and other Igbo speakining people. This attracted so much envy that during the Asaba massacre most of those professionals who were home were all killed in cold blood. Bonny, Nembe and other riverine areas were already in business. There are many like that. In that former Eastern Nigeria where the minorities were marginalised:The first African Principal of DMGS Onitsha,  was SJ Cookey from Opobo. The first African Principal Govt College Umuahia was Erekosima, KalabariThe first African Principal, Government Secondary school, Owerri was Kombo, NembeMboto from Itigidi was in charge in Government Secondary school Afikpo.The first African Chief Dental Surgeon Eastern Nigeria was Dr. Ernest Dublin Green, BonnyThe first Chief Architect Eastern Nigeria was Chief AG Spiff,  who was killed on the sea in the 90s in one of the Kalabari/Nembe crisis. As at the time of all these appointments no igbo man was qualified. How come they did not dominate the east? Nd'igbo took education seriously from 1930, invested in education and are reaping the benefits. The successes achieved by Nd'Igbo upto to this moment are based on individual efforts and off course the fact that we believe in Mentorship. In the 50s, very few lawyers could compete with the Douglas family of Abonema, who were later joined by Onitsha lawyers. The Ibibio tribe had a strong  Ibibio Union in Aba, and they invested in education, awarding scholarships to their brilliant children. As a matter of fact, Ibibio had a strong political presence in Aba, their young professionals practiced in Aba. You can look up Udo Udoma's  write up. That was why in Former South Eastern State, the Ibibios occupied more positions than the Efik who made contact with Europeans earlier. Till today, the Ibibios maintain that lead in that region.I don't want to delve into the issues on houses, naming of streets ACB loans etc, but l know that uptil today you still have streets named after minorities-none Igbos in Enugu, and other Igbo states. So at what point did the Igbo domination/marginalization start. Let us look at issues properly. Passing unsubstantiated history to generations make people grow with animosity,  which would not make for competitive challenge. 50 years has passed since the war ended. By now we would have known how fair/unfair we have been to each other. That is why l keep saying until we sit down and talk, open our minds take blames and responsibilities, as well as  atonement where necessary  we will all be treated with disdain in Nigeria. The north and even Obasanjo had always said they liberated Niger Delta from Nd'igbo.  Average Hausa man will say "Dukan su Nyamiri ne-"All of you are "Nyamiri". When brothers fight, and kill themselves, an outsider benefits from what they leave behind. When a woman marries two husbands she will be in a position to know which is better. The world over is competitive. No tribe/group is more intelligent. Every individual/group strives to survive and over come the disadvantages nature has placed in their environment. Nd'igbo may look aggressive in their quest for survival, but are not ruthless. Nd'igbo  believe in "live and let's live". Until we unite and challenge our common adversaries, we will go down, one by one and finally all of us will be conquered. ONCE AGAIN HAPPY 163 YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY THAT BROUGHT  EDUCATION TO IGBO LAND...Chris O.
