When the elders among the elderly said “ósô Mmiri ka Nma tukwu ózúó Nwoke arú”(Preparing Shelter away from Rain is best before it soak a man) is a wise saying but a powerful Metaphor.
Only a tree heard that it will be felled and it stayed akimbo at same spot,we all know na agha Akara Aka adighi eri Ngwuró (A Fore warned War or conflict, doesn’t take a Cripple as collateral) because he can crawl out of the targeted zone before the carnage ebido (start).
This confused Incumbent government is delusional,we know they don’t listen to advise or they think that advises are beneath them ,so they silently had a secret coronation of Eze Onye agwanam (Let nobody offer me Advise).
Ugwu muta igbaji Ukwu, Agadi Nwanyi amuta (When Hill became treacherous ,by causing fatigue to waist of elderly women ,she devise alternative )tactical ascension with stool or say Nwanyi Nódúrú ókwu (Kitchen Stool) ,so she can rest at interval without conceding to the beastly Hill, the honours of feeling like Champion,Maka Even Akpûrûka Bus will get to destination,but it might be late.
Chief Osadebe said ituam iche,ntua gi iche,ife iga Eji tuam iche ka ima ,Nkem ga Eji tua gi Kam ma ( You stone me with pebble of Choice,while I retaliate with my choice of retaliatory pebbles).
I have penned appeal to the Governor to stay action on that TCN brouhaha ,and we know he can or cannot abide with anything advise ,but I come to address the affected,Maka ódaba ejeghi Ogbu, ejeghi Ogbu,onye óbu arigo Ógbú di be Nna ya ( When it gets to heading to Ógbú and you have impediment, simply climb the Ógbú tree in your father’s compound,they are same Ógbú by name).
One good thing about idiom ,is that it has metaphorical solution that works ,so I bring into use the metaphor of Welu Egbe ife du,na Nke ife adiró Welu naputa Nkita Ôfia Ókúkó obuje (Use Empty and loaded Gun to retrieve the chic snatched by Fox ).
As Government is poised to maul down 1,000 ancestral homes, render many families homeless and useless , knowing well na Nwata talu Okenye Arú na Isi (When a child you are hugging bite your head without respect to the protective hair ) without respect for the gray hair ,the Elder will crawl to him and make munch of the bums without minding the faeces therein .
This dance has reached the level where it should be danced like Ókpanga Azigbo which if one fail to dance it like onye Isi nkuka,it can’t match the beats.
Since Government wants to afflict pains unlimited on 1,000 homes just to attract some High Tension which won’t even benefit the Victims who were ejected from Ancestral heritage ,because they can,may I suggest without prejudice or any rancour,the following..
1) The afflicted towns should submit protestation to ancestral Protector with fury, submit the umbrage to Arusi Nwelu extreme powers and ask for intervention before seeking for Justice with Men.
2) Those who can Pray shall be praying Violent prayer,while those in traditional belief should petition the gods asking for furious judgement.
Let them tell the gods to punish any partner toward the execution of that Malice with the Might and sword of the gods.
Place the families of the initiators in the sect of those who wrestles the gods and the causing desecration of ancestral lands as joinders to the suit.
Invoke the gods to compel the children of the perpetrators to rise against them tinyelu fa Ógbaghara na unó (create confusion and fracas to their homes ) ,as they rose against a thousand decent families by the unwarranted outrage.
Tua both the contractors,the negotiators,the enablers na Arusi 7 Maka they believe you had no option,but the options are numerous to forget.
This is no Joke ,since they are unreasonable and think they have what it takes to do whatever they want ,you as the beneficiary of the drudgery, should rise in fury Maka agwo emeghi ife óji buru agwo, Umuazi ewelu ya fie Ñkú (if a snake withdrew the spike of his person,even children will use it as Rope to tie firewood).
There’s always a middle ground,if the Government wants to dispose families without considerations , without thinking of heritage or preservation of ancient land marks ,then gbanyeru fa uchu,so they can deal with the gods , including their children.
The time for bikozienu has pass,now it’s tenure versus the gods , so the battle of Mbekwu will unmask the male between the duo.
Time for Óga bikozienu agafego ,now is time of seeking Justice with fury,if the gods start dealing hugely with contractors of the morbid plans ,then be rest assured that SOLUTION will remain but a fleeting illusion.
