After checking the biography of His Royal Majesty, Igwe, Amb. Dr Lawrence Okolio Chikezie Agubuzu of Ezema Olo Kingdom in Ezeagu LG, Enugu State, I wasn’t surprised that he was this articulate in his speech, intelligent, courageous and fearless. A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a postgraduate of the University of Lagos, Howard University in Washington, DC, in the United States of America, and the University of Besançon in France, and having served in different top engagements, including as an ambassador of Nigeria to the United Nations in New York, among others, within and outside Nigeria, what else does he need at this age and level that he can’t be this brave and speak truth to power? A big lesson here is that highly exposed, intelligent individuals who have built careers and wealth are still better at taking the role of leadership, whether traditional or political. A representative of the people should be someone who is exposed, intelligent, actively engaged in public affairs, experienced in diverse situations, and fearless enough to make difficult but necessary decisions on issues affecting their community, not unexposed stooges. Most kings in the 5 states in the Southeast can’t be in HRM Igwe Lawrence's category. His Royal Highness is far far ahead in exposure, intelligence, influence and affluence. This one no be Igwe utaba by political manipulation. #copiedpost

WE DO NOT STAND ALONE Today is Afor and I pour this libation with awareness. Not as performance. Not as routine. But as acknowledgment. To the ancestors whose names may not all be remembered, but whose blood runs in my veins I pour. To the fathers who built with bare hands. To the mothers who endured so the lineage would not break. To the known and the unknown guardians of my lineage I pour. May the earth receive this offering. May the wind carry my words clearly. May the waters cleanse any unseen obstruction. May fire bear witness to my sincerity. Stand with me where I walk correctly. Correct me where I move wrongly. Block the traps I do not see. Strengthen the efforts of my hands. If there are debts unpaid, reveal them. If there are blessings delayed, release them. If there is wisdom I lack, plant it in my spirit. Today, on Afor, I do not move casually. I align myself with my lineage. I recognize that progress is not only physical it is ancestral. Let my steps honor those before me. Let my success not bring shame to my name. Let my journey add strength to the family tree. The libation is poured. The connection is acknowledged. The cycle continues. #afor #libation #ancestors #lineage #igboculture

This is THE LATE PRESIDENT OF UGANDA, Idi Amin ,He once wanted to change the name of Uganda to Idi. Everybody in his Cabinet agreed because they were afraid of him. But there was one man, Walyamungu. He said to Idi Amin, "Your excellency do you know a country called Cyprus?" Idi Amin said to him,"What does Cyprus have to do with the changing of Uganda to Idi?" Walyamungu replied, the citizens of Cyprus are called Cypriots. If we change the name of Uganda to Idi, we, the Ugandans shall be called Idiots" and the world will call us idiots, which we are not. Idi Amin looked at him and said "You and I are the most intelligent men in this cabinet. The name of the country shall remain Uganda and so it remained to this day. His was a lone voice yet it was stopped the madness of the most despotic dictator that Africa has ever produced. The silence of good people makes evil to prevail...... Follow Justice ozobi now.
