| Nairaland / General / Anambra Man Returns ,repays Kindness To Roadside Food Vendor by AnambraPeople: 10:56am On Feb 06 |
Awka, the capital city of Anambra State, over the weekend, became a stage for a touching and dramatic reunion as an Anambra man, simply identified as Bishop the Hype Man, returned to the humble spot where he once sought solace in free meals from a roadside food vendor, Ms. Onyema Ekpeh. Bishopâs journey from hardship to prosperity led him back to the female vendor, as he stormed with bundles of cash he rained on her, in reciprocation of the kindness that had sustained him during difficult times. Recounting how it all started, Bishop said Ms. Onyema was always giving him food each time he went to her shop when he was struggling to survive. He said most times after eating he would playfully tell her that he didnât have money and that he would pay when he had. He added that Ms. Onyema, after gazing at him, would have no option but to accept his word. He said that this continued even to the point that the Ms. Onyema, after giving him food, would no longer care to ask him about money, knowing that the story would still be the same. According to him, the gesture that struck him most was that despite all the accumulated incalculable debts, Ms. Onyema still went ahead to lend him the sum of N50,000 from her little savings when he requested loan from her as he was about changing environment to seek greener pastures elsewhere; even when she knew fully well that she was no longer going to be seeing him, let alone knowing when and how the loan would be re-payed. Bishop, however, narrated that after one year without contact, Ms. Onyema started calling him, but he stopped picking her calls after having given her several assurances that he would still refund her the money; even while he didnât know if it was because of the money that she was calling him or simply to check on him. He revealed that Ms. Onyema still remained patient with him, despite everything, and was no longer calling him since he began to decline her calls. According to Bishop who said he now owned a club, it was in the Spirit of gratitude for such an uncommon love kindness, benevolence, and patience he saw in the woman that he decided to storm her food spot by surprise and show her love now that he has made it. âThis woman is a very good and kind-hearted woman. If we have this kind of selfless and benevolent qualities among our leaders, I bet you this country will not remain the same. She is not my mother, but she treated me like son, gave me food and money. âShe gave me food when I didnât have, she gave me money when I didnât have; she fed my friends. She don dey call me since last year, I no answer her; she go call me, call me, call me tire; and I no go answer her. Highest, if I manage pick call, I go tell am Madam relax, when I return⊠Now, I have returned. What I want to prove is simple! I just want to prove to people that good thing pays. âIt is very very important that I reward and celebrate this woman alive now that I have the opportunity, because nobody knows tomorrow. If person do good to you, appreciate am, celebrate am, and also do good to them when they are still alive, when you have the opportunity; and not when they are no more. âAbeg give me more cash there make I birth her with money. á» dá»bĂšghá»Ì á»cha. Achá»rá» m iji ego saa ya ahỄ, ka á» dá» á»cha,â Bishop said in an interview with this reporter, Izunna Okafor, as he stretched hand for more wrap of money which he also unwrapped and continued raining them on Onyema. Also speaking with this reporter in an interview, the food vendor, Ms. Onyema who hails from Enugu State said she was so surprise beholding the entire drama. While noting that she started selling food since 2011, she said Bishop was one of his customers when she started new. She, however, recalled that at some points, life started becoming difficult for him that he even found it difficult to feed himself. According to her, as a result of this, he, together with some of his friends, was coming to her shop to eat from time to time after which he would promise to give her money later but would not, only to come back again next time and order another food on credit. She said she stopped dunning him to pay her for food and even stopped expecting money from him whenever she served him food, having understood his condition; even though he was shy to explain to her. Ms. Onyema confirmed lending Bishop the sum of N50,000 when he told her that he wanted to change environment to seek greener pastures elsewhere. She also confirmed having called him over time to know how he was faring and how life was treating him wherever he relocated to, only for him to be declining her calls, probably assuming that she was calling for her money. She said at a point he had to stop calling, to avoid being seen as a disturbance. She, however, narrated that she was very surprised to see Bishop surface in her shop from nowhere in the morning during the weekend, begin to unwrap bundles of money and splash them on her, without uttering a word. Ms. Onyema said she couldnât believe what was happening, until Bishop eventually began to explain after some minutes when people gathered to know what was going on, only for her to break down in tears of joy. She also noted that she did similar thing for some other persons in similar condition, adding that she was doing it without expecting anything in return. While Onyema spoke, more bundles of money continued to rain on her from Bishop. In their separate reactions, onlookers and passersby, captivated by the dramatic scene, joined in admiration for Onyemaâs unwavering generosity and benevolence. Their shared sentiment became a clarion call on everyone to embrace kindness and extend a helping hand to those in need. In a world often tumultuous, the reunion of Bishop and Onyema serves as a compelling testament to the enduring impact of compassion and the profound gratitude that can blossom from unexpected acts of benevolence. https://anambrapeople.com.ng/anambra-man-returns-repays-kindness-to-roadside-food-vendor/

However in an emotion laden voice, he assured the workers that the issue would be resolved within the next few days. "Our major issue are the fact that the money mearnt for this payment was paid into a garnishee account and we are working on the best way to pull it out. I'm not a politician, I was brought here to strengthen out things because I'm a wealth creator. I don't tell lies, i'm working round the clock with the accountant-general to resolve the issue in the shortest possible time" He assured. Udeagbala, who is also the chairman of Udeagbala Holdings, praised the workers for their peaceful protest and assured them that, as a successful business owner with over 400 staff, he understands the importance of creating a conducive work environment. He vowed to ensure that the local government workers receive their 13th month salary soon. The mayor emphasized that Governor Alex Otti's main priorities are regular salary payments, infrastructural development, education, efficient healthcare, and a business-friendly environment. He also highlighted the progress made in Abia State, particularly in Aba, and called for everyone's support to sustain this growth. The mayor urged all to work together to restore the former glory of Aba under the current administration.

| Politics / Ngige Not Invited To Any Apc Meeting On December O2- Apc by AnambraPeople: 12:13pm On Dec 05, 2023 |
NGIGE NOT INVITED TO ANY APC MEETING ON DECEMBER O2- APC The Anambra State Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) ,Barr. Emeka Ibe has denied inviting Senator Chris Ngige ,Leader of the party in the state and Chief George Moghalu, immediate past Managing Director of National Inland Waterways to a stakeholders meeting on December 02, 2023. Barr. Ibe who spoke with media men in Awka, on Monday, shortly after expressing his condolences to the family of a deceased Local Government APC Woman Leader ,ahead of official announcement by the family said, 'our party did not hold any statutory meeting last Saturday". (December 02, 2023). However, he said, 'some members of APC ,acting within their right got together for a reception for a serving and a past senator who have pitched camp with APC'. Continuing, Barr. Ibe, the first substantive Anambra State Chapter Chairman, APC pointed out that those stakeholders who put that event together ought to have invited the leader of the party Senator Chris Ngige , Chief George Moghalu and a host of other stakeholders left out, if they meant well,even if they do not wish to invite party officials. He was speaking against the backdrop of a report in the December 03, 2023 edition of The Nation Newspapers which claimed that Senator Ngige shunned an APC Stakeholders meeting, noting that 'Ngige was duly invited to a wedding in Lagos attended by the Vice President Kassim Shettima,GCON ,governors and scores of serving and past federal ministers and his schedule was known long before now' . 'So those stakeholders, many of who came to APC after Ngige and George Moghalu had erected the foundation of APC in Anambra State and the South East, ought to have informed him about such an event ,but did not, even when guests and sponsorship came from outside Anambra State. Advising the media, Barr. Ibe called for careful distinction between when APC is speaking or acting on one hand, from when those who have an ambition to positions in APC speak for themselves and their campaigns. Said he ' We would not want to spend precious time answering to inquiries and rejoinders from the media and opposition over comments and actions of individuals with an ambition,which as a matter of party policy, do not speak for APC'. Barr Ibe urged APC members in the state to patiently await the unfolding plans to knit the chapter together and avoid the pitfalls of yesteryaers in its plans for future outings. He said APC as a law-abiding party will not overheat the polity too early but would rather prepare for "a plethora of political assignments ahead" https://anambrapeople.com.ng/ngige-not-invited-to-any-apc-meeting-on-december-o2-apc/
