EGBEMA AND THE WAY OUT
~ Comrade I.E. Kelly Rufus ~
Leadership is all about Service, Selflessness, self discovery and Self Esteem.
If you are a true leader, you are Not yet Successful until your successor succeds. Leadership is a relay marathon race, it is Transgenerational, You are not a leader until you have grown people.
Egbema is a Blessed kingdom with much untapped resources begging for Exploitation by her True owners.
In as much as i desire Development for my kingdom, it should be on the note, that development is not all about building of skyscrapers all over the villages of our Kingdom.
But To sustain Development in Egbema, We must practically look at the human indices then, be able to answer the Rethorical Question posed to us by our Literary Legend, Prof. Chinue Achebe on quote "Where are the little Sucker's that will Grow when the old Banana Dies " ? How about we ponder on this question?
In Egbema, we need to prepare mind's particularly the younger generation ahead of the task before us. And Our leaders must begin to Admit Their ills and start working towards Amiloirating them.
So Going forward, I personally hold the view that:
* Egbema kingdom cannot continue to be Economic and political diapers for the rest of her life and thus; we must liberate ourselves from the long over due Non mutual romance of our economic and political Relationship with all stratas of Leadership and or Governance.
* We must Practically forgo the Pull him down ( PhD syndrome) common amongst us.
* We Must begin to Prepare our mind's to the understanding that until we Build for ourselves A central Voice, Project and support An individual to speak for and on our behalf as our Accepted Leader, then We will continue to shot and miss our Target.
* Egbema leadership should immediately Provide us with a Rallying point, We need a Platform where all asundry Can come together to discuss, deliberate and Reach a finalization on what would be known as the Egbema's Position on Any Subject matter as it affects us.
* Until our Leaders disassociate themselves from Total involvement in the activities of the Youth bodies in Egbema, Then we will continue to fail !
* Until our Traditional ruler's stop Visiting frequently the Premises of the Italian oil gaint Nigeria agip oil company (NAOC) Alias AGIP for What so ever reason, and Begin to appreciate the scaracy of their stool as a Royal stool and begin to Summon the Management of Agip and it's subsidiaries to their Palace's for Negotiations as it is done in Egi kingdom then, We will continue Losse more and more of our Entitlement from the multinationals operating on our Land's.
* Political And Individual Ambition was what shattered us, We must begin denounce every sense political and Individual greed in us that is, if we genuinely Seek through liberation and Restoration of our lost Glory.
* Until Scholarship, skills acquisition, Employment Chances due us as a people be Shared on the basis of Merit and not by favouritism and Man no_ man, then our Generation, Will continue lag behind.
* Egbema traditional, Political and opinion Leader's must show commitment and readiness in their leadership by harmonizing themselves first as Fathers who admist Personal differencies can still come together to sail the boat of our Collective interest.
* Our Wealth, Rich and Bigwigs should begin to invest in her land, If we do not Development our place, no Investor will ever Do that for us.
* The high profile dignitaries in Egbema should lobby and provide for us a Bank. Egbema is too big enough not to have a bank.
* Egbema Skill and technical center, Ict center, Divisional police Headquarters building, General Hospital, Egbema filling station, Egbema water projects and more others Should be completed, it's benefits should we have then are enormous and cannot be overemphasized.
While our Neighbors continue with their usual Lobbying for Political relevance, Let's begin to build our own monument.
Egbema we are not the children of a lesser God!!!
Yes, I have been lambasted, name called for my unwavering and unflinching Commitment towards the media Advocacy for the libration of our land.
I and my team will not stop until our overlooked Advocacies becomes a reality, until then The powers of our Pen and sincere tears will never cease to flow.
May I Share conclusively the Words of Madam Theresa May, on qoute " Stop complaining when you notice that your environment is looking dirty, Just pick up a broom, sweep off your Frontage, let your neighbor do the same and if it continues, You will only discover that the environment is clean again"
To this end, the Battle for the Restoration of Egbema must begin now and with each of us, it is a journey that will cut across all families before we can achieve the Egbema of our dream.
Thank you, and God bless you!!!
A successful egbema is my pride !!!
