#RevolutionIsNow
President Buhari Government has been paying monthly statutory allocation in
millions directly to Local govt accounts since June. How many of you have
challenged your local govt chairman? Lily-livered people. You cannot hold
chairman without immunity accountable.
Infrastructure
has been built and renovated across Esanland, but grasses have overgrown
Ugboha, Ewohimi Eguare secondary & primary school and most schools and
public infrastructures in Esanland. What is the youth in our community doing
about it?
Everyone is
crying Abuja; no one is taking up the responsibility to maintain
infrastructures and encourage the government to do more.
Let call a
spared a spare. Esanland youth need to wake up and uphold our cultural values
and take up the responsibility to clear and clean and maintain our community.
It's the youths that clear farm part and maintains the roads that lead to
streams, river and the sweeping of our community.
We cannot
just throw away the best of our culture and keep the worst of our past then you
come and tell us, you're Proudly Esanland. Osanobua forbids!

"My
brother may the good lord remember you in his kingdom. We were all involved in
community services as youth when we were living in the village. Right from
Primary/Secondary School pupils. Like clearing of farm roads, cleaning of
markets and the Enojie palace.
We
constructed and amended community roads, bridges, market structures, schools,
maternity centres, construction and building of individuals houses, helping
those who didn't have children or who were sick in their farms, etc.
People were
punished or made to pay fines for failure to attend. Dates were usually fixed
and announced for this purpose. There were orderliness and respect for
seniority. Youths were hard working and respectful. The elders, community
heads, chiefs and parents were very responsible, and they treated every child
equally as their own. Today all these are in the past in our villages and
communities. Youths now sell community and village land and they spend the
money on themselves, invite thieves and armed robbers to terrorize their towns
and villages. They liaise with government representatives to defraud their
villages and their Entitlement, involve in electoral malpractice, cultism and
killing of one another, to mention but a few. These same people are the ones
looking for the most natural way out to make money. They will not talk to their
Local Council Chairmen and their Counselors because they feed on them. Instead,
whenever they want attention or are hungry, they accused the government, make
noise disturbing innocent people who are going about with their daily business.
So, my brother, we have a long way to go. How we get into this messed still
baffled me. But I believe one day God will see us through.
Thank you
for the excellent work you are doing.
You are
indeed a true son of Esan land."
These two
photos from Ugboha secondary school & Eguare primary school in Ewohimi,
it's a reflection of the state of Esanland TODAY.
The
negligent of youth responsibility in Esanland.
Let leave
government out of this matter. Government has done its part, community
leaders/youth need to do their part to maintain infrastructures in our
villages.
It's
shameful and un-ESANLAND, and we are calling for the Re-enactment of ESAN Youth
Responsibility of Maintainability of our communities. Defaulters are made to
pay a fine. That's the Esanland we all known and should uphold.
