Beautiful points noted.

MMM says it froze GH requests against an envisaged breakdown of the system this festive period where majority of participants would want to GH and less, PH.

Assuming all that is gone and accounts defrost by January, the defrost accounts would only withdraw successfully when other participants are ready to PH and because of the panic already created and how eager people will be to cash out their monies, l foresee another danger because GH will definitely outweigh PH and what happens to the monies of people?

Reducing or reworking mavros downwards could help tackle the issue because 30% might not be sustainable any longer. With fear already in people, who will agree to PH to pay all the pending GH requests when the heat comes on

The man is burnt

Others from the other part too want to feel belonged yet they will brandish this kind of crime with a particular people or region.

I'm waiting for them to come in. Crime is a general menace.

ObioratheBully:
Imagine it was a stack of just 1 dollar bills

Even at that, how many stacks do you think there are there?

ObioratheBully:
I don't think 2 is enough to afford 3..


I'll take 3 and sell for 2... Then I can get 1,2,4 and a cheaper but even comfortable version of 3

That money will buy Nigeria and you say that house is worth more?

The bridge to somewhere: a plea for government attention for Nchara

Nchara in Perspective: Nchara is a rural community in the Oloko group of autonomous communities, Ikwuano Local Government Area, Abia State. Nchara is comprised of two sister villages, Akanu and Otoro, with an estimated combined population of about 20,000 inhabitants. Due to its location, Nchara has for centuries stood at the cross-road to different parts of Igboland and non-Igboland alike, being bounded in the north by Ohuhu Nsulu (an Ngwa community); in the west by Usaka Eleogu (an Ikwuano community) and Amachi Nsulu (an Ngwa community); in the east by Obeohia Okike (an Ikwuano communities), and in the South by several Annang-speaking communities of Akwa Ibom State.
The history of Nchara has been one of mixed events, with high and low episodes occurring at different times. Notable events such as the Aba women’s riot of 1929 share a history with Nchara. One of the main leaders of the Aba women’s riot, madam Ikonna Nwanyiukwu Enyia, who was originally from Oloko village, was married into an Nchara family. In fact, but for the distortion of history by the then powers that be, the story of ‘‘Aba women’s riot’’ should have been that of ‘‘Oloko women’s riot’’. Nchara had also produced at different times the paramount Ezes (namely Eze Otutubuike and Eze Pipi) of Oloko clan, comprising nine autonomous villages. Furthermore, one of the earliest foreign-trained university graduates of Ikwuano, late Sir Onyeonoro Arungwa, was from Nchara; Sir Arungwa also was the first indigenous principal of Wilcox Memorial Comprehensive Secondary School Aba. Despite these lofty achievements however, unfortunate, albeit infrequent, communal clashes with Annang neighbors over land ownership have also marred the otherwise impeccable history of Nchara.


Socio-economic and infrastructure dynamics of Nchara: Like all of her neighbors, Nchara is an agrarian community producing staple food and commercial crops such as cassava, oil palm, yams, vegetables, plantains, and fruits that include oranges, bananas and pears. In addition, goats, sheep and chicken can be seen either in family pens or grazing about in the rusty scenery. While these different produce feed the people, substantial portions of them are sold in both local markets in the community, and in neighboring and far-flung communities such as Amachi-Nsulu, Usaka-Umuofo, Nenu, Ndoro-Oboro, Umunkpeyi, Ndiolumbe, and Ariam. Also, notable among these markets is ‘‘Ahia Uzo’’, so named because of its situation on a road leading directly to one of the Annang communities to the south, as well as other Annang markets such as those in Nto Edino and Nto Ekpe. This makes Nchara both an agrarian and a commodity marketing community.
By the fact of its location in Ikwuano, Nchara is only about 22 kilometers from the seat of the government of Abia State in Umuahia. As such, one would expect Nchara to be a nice, livable, even if rural, suburb of Umuahia Township. But alas, for a village with such historical pedigree, Nchara has been developmentally slow, almost abandoned. For example, electricity came to Nchara for the first time in 2009; initial efforts to acquire electricity were driven by ordinary villagers, before the government came to the rescue. Also, portable water supply, which was only installed recently, has been sporadic. Even though a community water tank constructed by the NDDC is conspicuously located in a corner of the community, actual water provision from it is off and on. Until its installation, most inhabitants sourced all of their drinking water from the village river; a river that separates them from some of their neighbors to the west and south. The purpose of this article is to bring to the attention of Abia State and Ikwuano LGA governments the condition of the bridge connecting Nchara with its neighbors, and by extension, with Aba the commercial nerve center of Abia State. The anticipation for writing this article is that this bridge would be reconstructed.


The bridge to somewhere: As indicated, access to and from Nchara through the river was enabled by a bailey bridge. The bridge served very strategic roles. Notably, the bridge provided access to thousands of hectares of arable farmland across the river, enabling farmers to produce their crops and to move their farm produce back home for processing. Also, it was through it that market people transported their produce to the numerous out-of-town markets in Ngwa land, from where such produce find their way to Aba. Furthermore, the bridge provided rapid access to the Old Aba road through Umunkpeyi, cutting the transit time for alternate routes such as having to first get to Umuahia en-route Aba. This bridge had in 1979 collapsed under the weight of a truck that was transporting cement to a construction site in a neighboring village. Thankfully, it was reconstructed and completed around 1982 by the then government of Chief Sam Mbakwe of old Imo State.
Since then, due to poor maintenance culture, the bridge and its access roads have become death traps. For more than 10 years now, the bridge has been in a crumbled state (see photos), with rusty metal parts and rotting wooden planks hanging precariously in places. The state of the bridge has made it unusable for vehicular, bicycler, and pedestrian traffics; unwary pedestrians have been known to mis-step into the broken planks and plunging headlong into the river. Fortunately, no casualties have been recorded. However, the state of the bridge has caused untold economic hardship for Nchara villagers, as farming, trading and social activities that require crossing the bridge on daily basis have all been considerably hampered. The disused state of the bridge due to its current condition has also led to the abandonment of the access road, resulting in it being nearly overgrown by plants.


A plea for government attention: Igbo people are renowned for performing community self help projects, in many instances, taking on projects that otherwise are the responsibility of the government. It was in that spirit that then Imo State citizens, including those of Nchara, contributed and built the Imo airport at Owerri, during the regime of Sam Mbakwe. Several times in the past, both the bridge and access roads have been worked on, to limited degrees, by community self-help. In that same light, prior to the 2015/2016 Christmas/New Year celebrations, the main street across Nchara, which had become very impassable, was rehabilitated by a good-hearted private citizen, Mr. Uche Dimkpa. This gesture enabled citizens and visitors alike to enjoy some bit of road access during the celebrations. By the next rainy season, this modest effort would have been undermined by the elements and by inadequate maintenance efforts. At this time, the financial implications of reconstructing the bridge is beyond what Nchara people can bear on their own; hence, the need to alert the government to come to their rescue.


On this note, the people of Nchara are bringing the condition of the bridge and surrounding roads to the attention of both the Abia State and Ikwuano LGA governments. Nchara people have noted with admiration the great and commendable work of the present Abia State government in building roads and infrastructures in different communities. In that spirit, they are asking, as tax payers and bonafide citizens of the state, that a concrete bridge and road reconstruction be implemented for them as dividends of democracy, similar to what is being done for other communities in the State. The inhabitants of Nchara herewith reiterate that they deserve to enjoy the most basic of infrastructural developments, such as roads and bridges that any government should provide its citizens. Undoubtedly, rebuilding the bridge and fixing the access roads would help to ease the burden of commuters who now have to pass through Umuahia Township or Akwa Ibom State, to get to Aba. Moreover, it would help to restore commercial and agricultural activities in the area. Such activities are ever more important in these days of fallen crude oil prices and the need to diversify economic activities for not only Nigeria as a country, but also for Abia State. It is hoped that 2016 ushers in a new lease of life for Abia State, and Nigeria, so that rural communities such as Nchara will get the much desired and deserved development from the responsible tiers of government, and with that contribute their quota in driving the local and regional economies.
