Oziomachi Lights Up Umunna

*Oziomachi Lights Up Umunna*

” The essence of our being humans is seen in our shared humanity. Which the the holy write promotes as the golden rule doing unto others”

Hon Nnamdi Ibekwe,

Over the years, the member representing Bende North State Constituency Hon Nnamdi Ibekwe, through his Oziomachi Foundation has exemplified this by touching lives, changing conditions of those whose circumstances are deplorable. It was in this light that one evening, he was passing one evening and saw people gathered in one place. He stopped, walked closer and behold, it was a UNDP donated cassava mill but the women were in darkness, using torch lights and all manner of dim, flickers of light they could get to grind casava both inside and outside. Without being recognized, he left the scene.

The next day, he ordered for solar lights and said let there be lights that illuminate the darkness the women are passing through. Let the deplorable state be changed to a better one and the women are quite elated for this. That is Oziomachi! And that’s what governance should be. Touching lives, changing conditions and putting a ladder for people to climb into greatness; releasing potentials, both hidden and known.

Oziomachi as symbolized by Honourable Nnamdi Ibekwe believes in touching lives. Let us all look at our environment and touch lives together at least we can reverse the order of people sleeping without food; young men having no work and so much more. Most especially giving hope to the hopeless; making people believe in themselves again that therein them lies greatness and they can achieve the essence of being in Umunna, in Abia state and in Nigeria. Let us all decide to promote our shared humanity.

As these women are so happy, that something has happened in their lives, I know they in turn will make other people happy and the circle of happiness will continue. Let us decide to ignte a light and let it shine to every soul; let us make a soul happy and that soul makes another souls happy so that the circle of happiness continues. That is Oziomachi.
