Ifite Nteje Latest Clash With Iruatu And Orukabi by Johnpele: 7:36pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
Where is the current Oyi Local government Chairman? Where are the current NDU chairpersons? Where is the Igwe of Nteje ? What have they done, or doing to nip in the bud or quell down the communal clash cum blood bath brewing in Ifite- Nteje community of Oyi Local government area, in Anambra state. Scores of promising Nteje youth have lost their lives in the fresh clash between the Ifite youth , and the Iruatu/Orukabi faction, of the same youth, Who now call themselves- Ifite- Ogidi or Ogolo group . Recently, as though hell was imported from underground to Nteje, the loud bang of gun fire raids the quiet air of Ifite- Nteje . Uncertainty hangs heavy like a roof, over ifite-Nteje . People are trapped in their homes, commercial activity is almost at a halt, farmers are scared to go to their farmlands. School children; too terrified, as they walk to school. The frenzy battle between the two aforementioned parties, has snatched scores of potential youth. These victims, where shot dead, like animals in a hunting game, by their fellow towns-men, over land disputes. To imagine the pains and trauma, the family members of these dead young men are passing through, is haunting. Also,how we shaded every loving fiber of humanity in us, to descend so low, to this soulless beasts, would take ages to explain. The thought of young men dutifully fighting battles they don't really understand clearly beats ones imagination. Since I was born,now I am getting old, this is the first I am seeing this ugly incidents unfolding in Ifite-Nteje . Nteje people are known all over the world, as peace-loving, welcoming, kind, tolerating, creative, hard-working industrious people. We slay and shine as long as good reputation is concerned. We are not known for violence; it is not in our makeup. This kind of archaic land battles is not what our youth ought to channel their energy on, in this contemporary age and time. We rather should, busy ourselves, with creative thoughts and works, that would bring about lasting developments and towering progress for us and our great town. In human history, dialogues, has proven to be very much potent, in curing the sickness of human differences, than violence. Violence creates room for more violence, which may lead to regrettable loses. Now is indeed trying times in our town. But, We can overcome these trials, if, we open our arms, and embrace dialogue, to settle whatever disagreement we are engaged in ... Yes, we can! Once again, I am using this medium, to call on those in authority- ndi onu ruru n'okwu- the government, traditional rulers, well meaning sons and daughters of Nteje , to come to the aid of Ifite- Nteje community, and Nteje in general, to decisively and objectively, deal with this land disputes issues that has been rocking our boat and has been threatening our co-existence for some time now. Also, am appealing to young Nteje men like me, who are the lead actors, in these conflicts; whose emotions are flaring up, to come to calm, give room for peace;it is priceless. This is not the time to point fingers and blame, not the time to play victim, now is the time to take responsibility for our lives and our home; to organize our knowledge for the stability of our collective existence. Nteje has come of age. Those who lost somebody, Ndonu! Two wrongs, as said, can never equal a right. For our families- Ndi anyi Vulu n'anya- For posterity, for the greater interest of Nteje, let us not throw away the baby with the bath water, because of what we were told, or what had happened. Let us not allow the enemies of Nteje to throw parties and rejoice over us. Finally, Nteje is our HOME, given to us by our Creator,to build and maintain. What do we stand to gain if we sacrifice our home in the filthy alter of selfish interests? Let's not let it be our story. Let's build our home. Let's build a united NTEJE. Let's give peace and progress a chance. Together, let's tell a great story of our home. Daalunu! LET'S BUILD OUR HOME written by Obidike .C. Michael.
