Philanthropy, Humility: Chizitere Ahubelem Deserves Isiala Mbano Chairmanship Seat

Image
By Ikenna Orioha  Truly, goodness begets goodness. Goodness has always thrived and humans who do good to humanity and society have often felt relieved, complete, fulfilled and fortified. This is because the lives they generously, richly, sacrificially, selflessly, positively and humanely touched are financially, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and physically balanced and hence giving back to the society with joyfulness, peace, relaxation and conviviality being enhanced and sustained. Honestly, these quality attributes of humanism are deeply embedded and indeed being exemplified by an illustrious son of Isiala Mbano and a politician, socialite, philanthropist, Engineer Chizitere Ahubelem (Chizzy Wizzy), an embodiment of goodness, love, chivalry and godliness. Chizzy Wizzy, a true democrat, who believes strongly in good governance, social progress, decided to contest for the Chairmanship Seat of Isiala Mbano local government in the 21st September 2024 Imo State Council Elec...

Imo 2027: Owerri Zone In Tumoil Over Onyewuchi’s Defection

Image
    By Uzoma Nwachukwu The recent defection of the senator representing Imo East in the National Assembly, Senator Ezenwa Onyewuchi, from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC), is causing a big rift among his people - Owerri Zone – in their quest to produce the successor to Governor Hope Uzodimma. Senator Onyewuchi’s defection came after several months of speculations and rumor that he was being packaged by the Emmanuel Ihenacho-led Imo Harmony Project (IHP) as a possible consensus candidate for the Owerri zone governorship project. There had also been the thinking in some quarters that as a two-term Honorable member and now serving a second term in the senate, he may get a favourable mention in the event that the pendulum finally swings to Owerri zone. Hence, some of the leaders in the zone, especially within the Imo Harmony Project, are said to have persuaded him to cross over to the APC in order to position himself early enough for the battle. But as thing...

Oru West SOLAD, Ikenna Adikibe In Contract Scam, Involved In Extortion Of IMSUBEB Funds

Image
  Still battling with the mess he finds himself by secretly obtaining the APC Nomination and Expression of Interest Forms to contest for Chairmanship in the 21st September 2024 Council Polls in Imo State without officially resigning his appointment, Mr. Ikenna Adikibe, the Sole Administrator (SOLAD) of Oru West LGA, is at his dubious antics again. This time, he was accused of intending to swindle a registered contractor with IMSUBEB, who happens to be a Leader in Oru (North) West LGA. The Oru West SOLAD was alleged to have provided his personal account number with the United Bank for Africa (UBA): 1010104665, for the ongoing proposal to renovate Primary Schools in Imo State for a payment of #150,000.00 into his private account and not even the IGR account of the Council. This piece of information was revealed by one of the interested observers, who did not want her name in print, in Owerri on Wednesday. "The above is an extortion and dubious attempt to dupe a registered Contractor...

Ahaejiagamba, We Will MIss You- By Ikedi Ohakim

Image
   It is said that there is never a better time to die but the passing unto eternal glory of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, AhaejiagambaNdigbo, a few days ago is an appropriate illustration of a brilliant actor quitting the stage while the spectators are still standing in loud ovation.   Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu had for over four decades been in national and international lime light, bestriding politics, business, sports etc  but the last few years of his life were apparently the most significant. The reason is simple.   Chief Iwuanyanwu lived the last stage of his life serving his own people–Ndigbo – after playing a dominant role in national politics and as an entrepreneur of international repute.  It is a rare thing, something everybody hankers for: to return home at the twilight of life to be and serve ones people.  Many in his caliber get stuck while seeking for more recognition and relevance outside.  Although a national icon, Chief Iw...

Imo 21st September 2024 LGA Elections: Why Should Oru West LGA SOLAD Keep His Aspiration And Ambition Top Secret?

Image
  The last might not have been heard about the drama and dramatics that are unfolding in phases and the intention of some Chairmanship Aspirants and their aspirations in the forthcoming Local Government Council elections in Imo State . Like the man who authored the novel Behind the war front, the told and the untold stories surrounding purchase of Nomination and Expression of interest Forms of APC are intriguing, and more are yet to be heard and unfold from Orlu Zone. What happened in one of the Local Government Headquarters in Orlu Zone today is akin to that of a woman who told her Child not to tell her debtor that she was at home, only for the Child to say to the debtor that my mum said that I should tell you that she is not at home. As Aspirants from other Local Government Areas in Imo State are fighting boldly, openly and courageously, others lack the courage to even disclose that they have secured and purchased their Nomination Form(s). Confirmed reports and Information from t...
