Egbema Massive Movement_E.M.M Pressures For;

LATE: HON  (DR) UZOMA AKUEJE NWACHUKWU'S DAY.
( Calls on Rivers State Government )

The visionary and youths advocacy Forum of Egbema kingdom in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local Government Area of Rivers State, with severe pain in her heart, and in memorial of an illustrious son Late: Hon. Dr. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu, whose sudden death was, is and will forever a trauma and a life time tragedy for the Egbema kingdom as they mourn their son, Late Hon. Dr. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu  (obm) who was Assassinated July 28th, 2005.

His Biography:

Late Hon. Dr  Uzoma Nwachukwu (obm), Hails from Deyi-Okanum family of Umu-Okoronkwo village in Okwuzi community of Egbema kingdom in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local Government Areaa of Rivers State,

Late Dr. Uzoma was the first born and son of Late His Royal Highness, Eze, King: Joseph Ohaleta Nwachukwu (obm),  Eze-adi ibuoa, the first Ezeali (King) of Okwuzi Community in Egbema kingdom.

He was the first ever and first Male Medical Doctor from Egbema Kingdom,

A United States of America (U.S.A ) Trained professional Doctor with over 25 Year's Experience in health practise.

He was the first Egbema man To have become a Special Adviser to the Rivers State Governor during the Sir. Dr. Peter Odili's administration (2003-2005).

This illustrious son, Has amongst other notables Undersaw the Construction of road's and drainages in his root,  brought the Niger Delta Development Commission (N.D.D.C) to Okwuzi Community in Egbema for a Free Medical Care that affected positively on the lives of Egbema 16 Villages particularly our Sick Mother's, Fathers, and orphans, He was Qouted to have Flagged off a Scholarship scheme for the Youths of the 7 clans of his Community before his Death, He has Enhanced and replicated through his humanly gestures the Contextual definition of the word Generousity.

Our first ever political hope was denied us Egbema, on July 28, 2005 at the new Port Harcourt Airport Road when men of the under world Decided to take away his life alongside his personal assistant.

In view of Reaffirming our acknowledgement of his positive Leadership impact and respect to him, our Patriot; a selfless Leader, A philanthropist, our lost hope.  Our Conscience has compelled us to spare some space and time here to succinctly say that, we in E.M.M Have Fixed Every July 28th in honour of an illustrious Egbema Son, late; Hon. Doctor Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu (obm). to begin from  next year July 28th, 2020.

Wondering why Politically The Egbema people have been relegated in her own Local, State and Federal Government, one will Emphatically Submit to Our view that Egbema lost him in such tragic manner constitutes an indelible scar in the history of Egbema. For a Community that is Arguably as of his time, the most educationally backwards distinct ethnic Community in Rivers State to lose a graduate is bad enough; to lose a United States Trained Doctor is a colossal tragedy.

Going forward, the visionary and youths advocacy group E.M.M further submit the following view and Plea to the Egbema Traditional institutions, Political and Opinion leader's, Our Local Government council,  Representative of the ONELGA CONSTITUENCY II. ( EGBEMA, NDONI & USOMINI ) State Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, the Ministry of Health R/S, and the Rivers State Government to help us Immortalize the memories of Our Own Late: Hon. Doc. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu (obm).

It is our plea that:

* The Okwuzi-Egbema General Hospital be named after him as : DR UZOMA AKUEJE NWACHUKWU'S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

* That The Aforementioned Cardre of Authorities should Launch a charity Foundation known as the DR UZOMA AKUEJE NWACHUKWU'S HEALTH FOUNDATION:

* We further hold the view, that annual Memorial Lectures on his behalf will help Usher his memories to a permanent base on our hearts.

Today, Sunday 28th, July, 2019 marks exactly 14_years since the assassination of our Own Social crusader, A replica of his father, our late King Nwachukwu, Very brave Man indeed, filled with reassuring words,  Oh! Death, where is thee stint ?

As Young Youths, we barely knew much about Late Dr. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu, but on daily basis, on every Slightest Conversation Geared towards the Libration of Egbema kingdom from her Political, and Economical oppressors, His Name keeps resounding, like a bell on our ears, Even after 14_years of his untimely death.

Oh! what manner of a man are you Dr. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu?

Your Individualistic antecedents speaks volume about you till date.

If the likes of, Late ken Saro wiwa,  Isaac adaka boro, Dr. Obi wali, Prof. Claude Ake can be immortalized, why can't our own Egbema illustrious son Late. Hon. Dr. Uzoma Akueje Nwachukwu (obm)  be Immortalized and Celebrated by her Own, Local and state Government?

How else can we Reciprocate the Gestures of our own illustrious son, our lost hope to humanity if not, but to help Sustain his memories ?

Oh! Egbema, For how long can we continue to lose men of good will ?

We will continue to miss our Patriot;

Dear Doc, You have fought a good fight of faith, Your untimely death was your own greatest sacrifice to your Father land and Rivers State Government which you came to Serve.
History will always be fair to you Sir !!!

May your Soul continue to rest in the blossom of the Lord, Amen !!!

A successful Egbema is our Pride !!!

Egbema and the way out !!!

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 !!!
