Retarded mind and tribal bigot, Igbo what? A very pure and total IDOMA woman.
When did Igbo start bearing OCHEFU? Do you even know the meaning?

I said 'Igbo sense'. Don't you understand English language? Note the inverted commas.

porthouse7:
she's idoma not igbo

I know. the the post above.

Well done Oga madam! U do good.

smartmom:

She is not ibo. She is an idoma woman actually otukpo born. She hails from a linage of wealthy and enterprising women. My mum's stock so yes I know her personally

seriously...like you know her personally??

ChisomDgreatest:
that's an Igbo woman for you!
we rise by lifting others

you get it all wrong na Idoma woman

Mediahelm:
Did you know that mammy market was named after a woman called Mammy Ochefu? Yes yes! Every military barrack in Nigeria has a place called ‘mammy market’, a place close to the barracks, where soldiers’ interact and buy their daily needs. In 1955 at Enugu, the market was named

After Mammy Ochefu, the wife of late military Governor of defunct East-Central state, Col. Anthony Aboki Ochefu, where she sold a local non-alcoholic beverage called enyi to support her family.

Her husband initially declined as soldiers’ wives were known to be housewives. He later accepted for her to continue the business when she told him it was to support him and the family.

After taking a week break at home due to complaints from people that the drink attracted flies, pressure from her clients inspired a Lieutenant Colonel to build her a kiosk to make it more conducive. Her family was later posted out of Enugu to Abeokuta but Mammy continued

The business wherever they were
posted to while she added snacks that would interest the soldiers’. Interestingly, whenever her family was transferred to another state, she would hand over the business to women who were interested in it but asked that they retain the name.

Mammy registered her business as “Mammy Market” in 1971. By the time her husband retired, the business had grown into a supermarket and a transport business.

When her husband rose to become a military governor, Mammy was still going about her business. She joined him few months later due to pressure from people, leaving the business in the hands of four people.

The idea of Mammy market, which was started by Mammy Ochenfu in Enugu Army Barrack with one shilling in 1955, continues to grow with the country and whenever a barrack is built, a mammy market is built together with it. Through this initiative, Mammy Ochefu helped millions of

Nigerian women across the countries to be business owners. We celebrate this beautiful strong woman who defied all odds to create jobs for millions of women today.

Nice one.

Another good thing about this news is that we manage to keep a good historical records about this "MAMMY MARKET" at least that will help the coming younger generation to understand the history books.

For the avoidance of doubt the British people still keep records of Winston Churchill and all the war time stories till date including other aspect of their internal histories,

The United States has a war museum where they keep records of war histories and many political and economic records.

But in Nigeria because of the greed of our political and elite class we do not keep adequate records. Most of the record we keep are done haphazardly.

Where is the vehicle that our former head of state, General Murtala Ramat Muhammed was assassinated in the coup of 13th February, 1976 in a Lagos traffic that faithful Friday?

The said abortive coup was led by Lt Col. Buka Suka Dimka.

What about records of Lord Lugard, Macpherson, Sir James Robertson etc.

Great woman.
At least this is not another bad news but a good one.
Inspiring..........

Wonderful i love igbo women. God go punish who say make i no marry from the east.. I don't think you see what i saw, the background of that great woman. What happened to the glory of her history, i supposed she should be in overseas by now chilling in one of her children's home. If she's still alive thou. Pls MOD help us find out...

OkaNaUbe:


And tribalists hate resourceful people
She used her 'Igbo sense' to start a side hustle to support her military husband.


BTW, I thought "Mammy" is a coined word of the military.


Ndi Nne MAMMY, iso kwa!

She is Idoma. There's no Igbo sense there at all. You sound exactly like the tribalist.
Smh

Great woman! God bless her.

BTW why is her tribe so important? All that is necessary is to appreciate her and learn from her enterprise.

Give it to the Igbos, they are naturally enterprising.

Racoon:
I read about Mrs.Ochefu while my dad served then in the 82 Div.Cantoment Barracks Abakpa.The story was really inspiring.
The Idoma woman simply came during her husband's second stinct to Enugu as an officer & then governor of the old Eastern State to adopt the Igbo man's business idea of always being enterprising."Never despise the days of little beginning."

I am sure there were no Ibo people at all in Enugu then since it's only them that can be enterprising.

That's nice, she was really a business minded woman and the mammy market exist in all NSYC camp, how i wish all the slay queens emulate her.

Actually, it's not an Igbo thingy but an African woman thing. The truth is true African women are exceptional enterprising.

sojayy:

Funny! thou art.

smartmom:

I could give you her number but I doubt if she is needy. Even at her age, she is still an enterprising business woman with livestock farms flourishing

A gift my dear not charity.

Nice one, I knew it "every good thing has connection with the east".

interesting

I am sure she is broke now. We have a bad maintenance culture in this country. We find it difficult to 'preserve' our own.

But who started olosho Inside barracks ..Every Market na market

Quite informative. I thought it was a military parlance.

So what should we do about that? her kinsmen doesn't see good things in people so I see no good things in what she has done




nonsense people
