Our progressive lives as a race is such that have not been tailored along a conscious line or spirit of attaining greatness given our inability to push and pull in one direction on a brothers keeper’s note.
As a race blessed with the best of both human and other potentials, by our historical antecedents and strength, we were supposed to be orgernised, united and focused beyond where we are today, it is our failure to decipher the future, a reason that ll have gotten us very structurally united flexibly and more functional in all affairs of socio economic, political and traditional advancements,that kept us aground,but most unfortunately and pitiably too, today we lag behind and that by extension have pushed us deepest into an irredeemable like pit, lifting ourselves out becomes the hardest task given our economic and political state at the moment.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
First, our economic power is low, it does not circulate. We seem not to understand the importance or how relevant economic power is to gaining political power, expectedly, we were supposed to boost our entrepreneurial base from within,what this means is that we should have supported any venture whose prospects we realise is capable of productively engaging our mass of people and its rewarding enough as well economically. Those privileged to have the influence and connections then should have used them to our advantage, some of those very opportuned igala elites that failed to do the needful in the form of mentorship, attracting favourable governmental policies whose impact ll benefit the entire igala race, when they have the power and capacity to,ll be mentioned in the course of this deposition. The consequences of what they refused to do contributed immeasurably to the plight befalling us today, and the worst, if not the most dangerous, is the imbibing of this same mindset by succeeding generation of some of our elites. Nobody seems to care of what plight his or her next door neighbor, a supposed kinsmen suffers,all these will help in keeping us aground because we ll have no capacity to compete and influence further, the moment, “the all looked after”financial bulldozer decides to pull the plug. A lot of our men and women ll be in active service for 35 years and retire without giving opportunities to non, only to retire and pick up a governorship, senator or house of rep form,wasting non refundable millions,.. Iyowaa, inyo kpa mé, he or she wants to represent and liberate his people, (agba Mr Liberator)how did you liberate with the very chance you exhausted… No passion but greed and selfishness. That is why late Stephen Achema is yet to have a rival based on what he stood for in the interest of the igala race… Where are the Daniel Ogbadus, Andrew Abogedes,.. Then the Aidokos, copy and on and on, so unfortunate.
TO MY ABLE IGALA YOUTHS
Lets rise up to the occasion by ensuring we are engaged productively, explore any available rewarding legit opportunities, we must crack our brains and come up with something worthwhile, honestly, we must not look at the immediate gain, that patience, endurance and zeal must be there, its financial Independent we are talking about, it does not come easy, only then we ll tell those politicians to allow us decide who lead and rule over us.
Political events of late have shown how weak those gladiators we were trying to rely on are, Nov 17 2019, the Igalas reacted without them, remember we can do better, a new generation of few conscious, passionate and capable men ll take over the leadership soonest, that shall be the changing face of our great land, ANE AYEGBA for Good.
IGALA LAND SHALL BE GREAT AGAIN.
