DR. SANUSI MOMODU JIMAH IS NOT FROM WARRAKE.

19th February, 2018.

Following a writeup by the South-Ibie Youth for Change (SIYC), dated 18th February, 2018, wherein they gave Sanusi Momodu Jimah's ancestral home as Warrake in Owan east local Government, I hereby use this medium to give the true genealogical survey of his actual ancestral home.

SIYC should be informed that Sanusi Momodu Jimah's grandfather was a renowned tailor who migrated from his ancestral home in Igueben, the present day Igueben local government Area of Edo state in Esanland, to Warrake in Owan east local government Area of Edo state in search of arable lands to augment his tailoring business.

Due to dexterity, commitment, passion, and zeal in his tailoring business, he distinguished himself as one of the best tailors in the region.

HOW JIMAH RELOCATED FROM WARRAKE TO AUCHI

The then Auchi monarch, Otaru Momoh who had a very high taste for dexterously and uniquely designed traditional attires, approached Jimah and relocated him to his palace in Auchi, where he served as his personal tailor and palace servant, performing both indoor and outdoor choirs.

Jimah grew thick wings in the palace as he was betraying and blackmailing the palace chiefs to the then Otaru.

JIMAH'S COMPENSATION AND EXIT FROM THE PALACE

In recognition of his outstanding services to the king and the Momoh family, the Otaru gave his daughter as a gift(Sadaka)to Jimah and pronounced them husband and wife.

Young Jimah relocated from the palace to Warrake road with his wife where they both continued their tailoring business. Due to his expertise in the art, he started receiving numerous apprentices who were also assisting him the business.

The union was blessed with children, one of whom was Momodu Jimah(Sanusi's father) now of blessed memory.

Momodu Jimah grew into a man and married an Akpekpe woman, who later gave birth to Sanusi a.k.a Sunny Jimah. The pressure from Esanland eventually saw Momodu Jimah(Sanusi's father), into marrying another woman from Esan.

As usual the entire Jimah's started receiving insults from the Auchi people " that they are not from Auchi". This insults compelled Momodu Jimah into sending his first son, Sanusi to undergo his secondary education in their ancestral land in uromi.

These is the genealogical survey of Dr. Sanusi Momodu Jimah's ancestral home as he has no base or lineage, either in Warrake or Auchi, where he is presently fighting the true sons and daughters of Auchi in and around Auchi polytechnic.

Sanusi Momodu Jimah's age group in Auchi can attest to his behaviour as a member. Most things that are regarded as forbidden or taboos are being committed by him with impunity because such culture, tradition, custom and the consequences arising from their being undermined are not binding on him since he is not a true son of the Auchi soil. No true son of Auchi would fight his brother up to the point of threatening their jobs, like the Obomegies, Buraimohs, Jafarus and others.

Speaking or general understanding of Esan dialect is what the Jimah's lineage did not undermine right from his Journey to Warrake, Auchi and down to Sanusi's generation.

AS AIGBEBAKUN OF AUCHI
As enumerated by the South-Ibie Youth for Change(SIYC), the Otaru of Auchi may have refused to confer a chieftaincy title bearing any resemblance of Etsako on him but an Owan name and meaning. This does not mean that Jimah is from Warrake but a true son of Igueben, in Esanland, Edo state.
Auchi and South-Ibie are brothers and sisters and should therefore not allow a total stranger to destroy the harmonious relationship which they have enjoyed for decades.

No true son of Etsako will actually destroy the only farm and federal government presence, (Auchi polytechnic)in Edo north, with different crisis.
