/ Sorry. The problem is not as simple as stated. We know that Nigerian courts do the bidding of who oils their palms. This name change has resulted in unnecessary bloodshed and created IDP in otherwise a little community. The little town now has two factions: Nkerehi people remain the majority while the minority chose Umuchukwu. And within the Umuchukwu of probably less than 100,000 in population, the next igweship will create another big wahala. I wish them the best. Will those whose parents were killed forgive and forget? I bet you this protest was out of fear of what will happen to them if the man sponsoring the opposition becomes the governor. / 1 Like |

"he who blows the piper, dictates the tune'' When Dr. Maduka was single-handedly developing your entire town, you people did not fault him. He only suggested that the name of the town ''Nkerehi' which is a name of an evil deity be changed to 'umuchukwu' which literally means ''children of God''. I don't see anything wrong with that except if there is a political undertone or subverted interest involved which they are not telling us. Last i checked ,Dr. Maduka is aspiring for gubernatorial post in Anambra state and maybe,i said maybe,forces against his political ambition are using his people against him. For the benefit of the people that care to know what this young philatropist has done for his people in'Nkerehi'... 1.Maduka has invested over $40 million in various community development projects in Umuchukwu. 2.He built over 50 houses for the poor kinsmen, churches, market, schools, police station, police academy and college, post office, magistrate court and a high court for the Anambra State government, home for a home for the catholic priests and reverend sisters, a monastery. 3. He also built a 17-floor multiplex medical research centre in Umuchukwu (shown below). 4.He has also awarded full scholarships to hundreds of needy students in his town and all over Eastern Nigeria and donated a lot of money to help several communities around Nigeria. 5.He has given away a lot money in free grants in micro finance schemes to kinsmen to start several businesses… The amazing thing is that this man despite all his success attributes nothing to his abilities but credits God for all that his life has become and all that he is doing. 3 Likes

Flexherbal: As I recall, Nkerehi is a name relating to the idol of the community and when the idol kept claims ng excessive dividends the people revolted and switched to christianity thus choosing UmuChukwu (Children of God); nonetheless, the Idol worshippers are not happy. 2 Likes |

Today's primitive Africans worry more about traditional names that genuinely meant something to their ancestors at their time, rather than worry about their mindsets that are not developing. They blame their gross irresponsibilities on all sorts of superstitious bullshits. The women are smart. 1 Like |

Tcwork: Thank you very much. I was reading the article, but when came across "the women went on illegal protest" I stopped reading. The poster is pro Dr Maduka. What's annoying me about this is that the town is next to mine in Orumba south local government. Right from origin it had always been Nkerehi. Then this man Dr Maduka wake up one morning with his cronies decided to change the town name without consulting the people,cox he feels he has the money to do so. You want to know, I'm from Ogbunka Orumba south local government. Thank you once again 1 Like 1 Share |
