Innoson nwa amama, I doff my hat for you sir, Keep putting Nigeria on wheels.

This leaves me with the nostalgia of the masterpiece of izuogu z-600 by chief izuogu mbagbo,
Nigeria lost a huge opportunity with such innovation, but here posterity seems to be rediscovering our today with the rise of innoson, Chukwu okike abiama bless the auto chasers of 70s after the uncivil war, the Louis carter's, ibeto, chikason etc

Ivm is doing nice with its kiara Academy and it's amnesty pact with nddc,

Please have you any scoop on the automotive industrial Park nnewi, of which the state government provided land for its execution,
Last time, jelani aliyu made a stop over, and gave assurance of its commencement?


Couple of years back, there were scoops on ivm expansion in akwaibom, with state support, how much has been committed to such pact?


Keep patronizing ivm fellow compatriots, your patronage is a lifewire to the growth of the ivm brand.

Yorubas rebuilt Igboland to what it is today.

During Gowon's re-integration program for igbos, chunk of the money used cane from SW and part from SS Oil.

If left alone, Igbos wouldn't have survived up to six months #Fact.

Yet you lots are so ungrateful for the kind gesture from Nigerians.

Must Buhari initiated and completed a project? Please let us encourage present and subsequent government to finished the projects they met on ground, if you start measuring performance based on initiated then each govt. that comes in will abandon the projects of the preceding govts.

The policy was clear. Gates must be open between certain given times. Some streets in my area leave their gates shut on weekends and close them as early as 6pm during the week. This causes heavy traffic gridlock on the only available route.
Kudos to Lasg for enforcing this.

As they kept knocking on our gate. I hurriedly said favorite prayer;

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
Amen. Although I said in Ibo language.

Bfo I cud finish this prayer, our other neighbor in d compound had opened our gate. My cousin and d police came in. We saw dem and were relaxed. My elders moved forward to d crowd of almost 50youths. They saw somebody who had been beaten almost half way dead. The guy couldn't look up because of pool of blood on his face. He was almost dead. The youth wanted gungle justice. Thank God for the police men who came on time.......he was d "real owner" of the fone. He was Chibuzo!!

Chibuzo was my frnd. Infact the family was staying in our compound also. The dad was d man who opened gate for the youths to come in. He was also my age mate. My cousin said he confessed hw he stole d fone when he was caught. That night obinna came bak, he was dt brought obinna bags from d taxi man. So he had access to obinna's room. That was when he took d fone.
But to show hw wicked people cud be, immediately the fone tin happened. Their family stopped talking to us.

Although his mum had always got at my mum. The woman always told my mum that she sent her daughters to sku at imsu for prostitution. These were my 2sisters who were studying medicine. But we undrstaod their frustration. This woman's daughters always married even bfo completing secondary sku. So she always looked for any unfavorable condition on our side to mock my mum. So when world bank youths were beating her son, Chibuzo mercilessly, she had and her husband had no choice than to cry. Chibuzo was dying. He needed medical attention. Bcause he was losing blood.

My mum begged the youths to allow d police take him to hospital. It took my 15k for the youths to allow the police take him. Finally the police men and my cousin bundled his almost dead body inside their van and left. Around 11:30pm

Wooooooooo. Tears of joy!!!!! My sisters rushed to me, hugged me so tightly. Hahahaha. My mum and I were crying.
Who will be d first to hear this new?
Fr. Nath. I called him instantly. Fr. Nath had a specially number that even he is praying his "briviary" he will answer a call to that line. That was d number he gave me. I called him, he answered. I cud feel his joy when I told him. People gathered in my compound not minding the time to felicitate wit us.

So many songs of praise were bubbling in my heart. I must sing.... I began to sing to eveybdy's hearing;

O zoputa wom n'aka nke onwu,
Omela ka mguzoro na-oke nkumee,
O tinye abu uto n'onu m taaa,
Abu otiti aleluyaaaaaa.

"He has saved me from the hands of death,
He has made me stand on the great rock,
He has put songs of praise in my mouth,
Songs of praise aleluyaaaaaa"

At first, my mum didn't believe him. Because she thought there was no way someone who stole d phone cud sell it at a stone throw from where he stole it. Finally she obliged. She met obinna and collect the serial number. This happened on d 23rd of october. When he gave this guy d serial number, around 7pm that same 23rd, this guy rushed to our house af if someone was chasing after him. He told my us that d serial numbers matched! Hearing this, my eldest sister broke down in tears. We started making arrangements on how to buy and meet d seller of fone.

Sagem(my X-7) was sold at N26k as at den, but my mum gave 50k! My mum begged the guy not to argue price wit whoever was selling. The next day 24th, one of my older cousins rushed to the central police station(CPS) aba and reported the case. He also told the police hw d fone had been found. Meanwhile, obinna kept asking us if d serial matched, but my mum avoided him like death. He was totally kept in d dark concerning d developments.

The guy who stole d fone was selling tru 2middle men. So the stranger who leaked d info to my mum didn't knw him.....but was our main target. These guys said they were gonna sell d fone at 20k. Without hesitation, our guy agreed. But he insisted on seeing payin directly to d owner of d fone. These middle men told him that d owner went somewhere that he wud come bak in 2days time (being 26th). This our guy agreed.

As all these were happening, no one heard from dis dibia again. After d encounter wit Fr. Nath, he never threatened us again. Although we were hoping that one day, he might come. On that 26th, my cousin had mobilized youths of world bank housing estate and also abt 7 police men frm CPS. Those sellers had told him that the "real owner" of d fone wud come bak around 9pm. He also agreed to meet them by 9pm.

Around 10:25pm, my mum, my 4 sisters and I were praying the ROSARY. Then we developed d habit of saying the ROSARY according to St. Louis Marie de mount Forte......this method of praying the ROSARY always takes time. Because between the decades, we were mentioning our petitions. So we were always spending almost 2hrs in 10decades. So it this time that we heard so many people shouting "onye oshi, onye oshi" (thief, thief, thief). Instantly, fear gripped all of us inside the room. We thought they were coming for me.

Our gate was already locked. So they stayed outside shouting "where is that his father?" "Let him come now" infact I can't explain the atmosphere in our compound that night. But hearing "where is that his father" we were a bit confused. They wudnt be asking where was my dad, because every body around our area then knew my dad was late. So we remained calm. They started banging our gate. My mum advised me to hide. I refused. Instead I was very strong.....

On the 21st of october, around 9pm, we got a message that the native doctor was comin. I called Fr. Nath that night, but he said he wasn't in parish. He also said he was on his way bak, that he wud come if he cud make it. We relaxed and kept waiting. to our greatest surprise, the news spread in d area that night that this dibia was coming. I could see people indirectly gathering infront of our house. Because our gate was locked, so some guys who wanted to come and witness stood outside. I just wasn't scared. But my mum and sisters were. Obinna was sitting in our sitting room wit his frnds and some of our family members who my mum called.

There were about 12people in our sitting room that night. We were still prayin wen our door opened and it was Fr Nath! Wow! That was around 9:45pm. His arrival lifted our spirits. We felt a surge of confidence. Now, everybody was waiting for this man. Obinna called him on phone, when he picked, he let the phone speak 2ru loud speaker.
Fr. Nath moved forward and introduced himsef to this dibia. Fr later asked him if he was sure of what he was saying. He (Fr.) also asked him if he knew what he was doin to a little boy. At this stage the man got angry and began to ask Fr if he realized whom he was talking to. Fr said yes that he (dibia) was d man who had using devilish charms to kill d souls of innocent people. This statement from Fr. got this man infuriated.

He threatened to deal wit me mercilessly when he arrived. Fr. told him that my God wud deal wit him mercilessly first. All these war of words happened over the phone. In the presence of evenrybody in my house. Thank God our was very close to d church. We really delayed Fr. Nath that night. He stayed in our house till around 11pm.
Finally this didn't come again that.
Fr. Nath now left for parish house.

The next day, around 6pm, a guy met my mum and told her abt a Sagem fone that someone wanted to sell at d bak of my house.....I forgot to tell u. This obinna's phone was also sagem(my X-7). The guy told my mum to get d stolen fone receipt from Obinna so that we cud compare d serial number.....
