Sad! Y Did This Happen To Chief Nwakpuda? Who Hasn't Heard? History Is Terrible! by mazeech: 7:35pm On Aug 04, 2015
Gaining power and life by accepting change!

History is a terrible thing. It chooses to remember those it wants to remember and forgets those it wants to forget. For those it remembers, it breaks the story to pieces and tells it from the beginning to the end, passing it from generation to generation. And for those it refuses to tell, it doesn’t mean that history forgets. It can tell the story some other time or in a different way. Yes, history doesn’t forget a single thing.

Chief Nwakpuda was a known king in his time who said that the rail line should not pass through his village. After the rail line was built, he still insisted that he would not allow the train to go through because it could carry away women of his kingdom.

The ‘D’ day finally arrived for the train to pass through the ‘mighty village’ for the first time in Old Umuahia. As the train was moving, Chief Eze Nwakpuda defiantly ran to the track and raised his right hand toward the approaching train, a sign that it should stop immediately ‘as ordered’. The driver blew the horn but the man stood there in defiance of all the advice that he was given.
