LiteratureThe Origin Of 'mammy Market by Jury(op): 12:43pm On Jan 12, 2017
From: https://communemag..com.ng/2017/01/the-origin-of-mammy-market.html

(Copied from the Facebook wall of Sir Gabriel Omonhinmin)

Sir Gabriel Omonhinmin has at various times worked as a reporter, correspondent, News Editor and news producer at Voice of Nigeria before he went into private practice. He presently writes “The palace Watch” column for the Guardian newspaper every Sunday.
History is always sweet, but the Nigeria National Assemblies -2015-2019 set have failed to pass the law that will make the study of history compulsory in Nigeria Schools.

****

It was in 1959. Mammy Ode, a young girl from Jericho-Ugboju in the present Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State was married to Anthony Aboki Ochefu, a young Non-Commissioned military officer who had just been posted to Enugu from Abeokuta.

Mrs. Mammy Ochefu

They were quartered at the Army Barracks, Abakpa, Enugu. To beat idleness and perhaps earn some money to support her young family, Mrs. Mammy Ochefu established a soft drinks business. She prepared gruel, which is called umu or enyi in Idoma, or kunu in Hausa, for sale to soldiers. She soon became popular with her stuff as soldiers trooped to her house to buy enyi. Some of her best customers were officers, who always sent their batmen to buy some of the gruel for them, Monday through Friday.

Somehow, one of the Non-Commissioned Officers, the RSM, did not flow with the enthusiasm, which Mammy’s gruel generated among other military men in the barracks. He complained that the stuff was attracting flies into the barracks and ordered Mrs. Mammy Ochefu to stop its production and sale.

Though surprised and disappointed at the order of the RSM, she stopped the production and sale of enyi. Her husband, not being an officer at the time, could not challenge the order of the RSM.

For weeks, Mrs. Mammy Ochefu agonized over the fate of her business, just as officers and men of the Nigerian Army who enjoyed her enyi because of its freshness and nutritional value lamented the situation.

From several quarters, pressure mounted on the RSM for a reversal of the order. After a while, he succumbed to the pressures and directed that a section of the barracks be reserved for Mrs. Mammy Ochefu to produce and sell her enyi. Her joy knew no bounds.

Few days after, a section of the barracks was given to her. She built a small shop and soon, her business began to boom. Most of her customers booked for their shares in advance. Before noon, she would have finished selling the available enyi for the day.

Soon, other women in the barracks tapped into her fortune and started selling other items. It was not long before that portion of the barracks became known as Mammy Market. It also became a policy to establish markets inside or near military barracks in the country, initially for the exclusive use of officers and men. Today, no visit to Abuja, the Federal Capital City, is complete without a taste of fresh fish in one of the Mammy Markets, especially the one attached to Abacha Barracks.

Similar markets attached to paramilitary barracks are also called Mammy Markets.
After the coup that overthrew General Yakubu Gowon, Anthony Aboki Ochefu, then a Colonel was posted to East Central State as Military Governor. So Mrs. Mammy Ochefu and her husband returned to Enugu as the First Family; she sometimes visited the site where Mammy Market started about sixteen years earlier It must be stressed too that in retirement, Colonel Anthony Aboki Ochefu and his wife incorporated a company, Mammy Markets, which was into haulage and trading.

Mrs. Mammy Ochefu is alive and lives at Otukpo as one of the prized legends of our time.

*******
In addition; Obasanjo fired her husband, Col. Ochefu in 1976 alongside 215 other officers. Ochefu was ostensibly fired for his alleged misconduct before the bloody coup that ousted Murtala Muhammed. Then Ochefu was Commanding Officer of the Lagos Garrison. Ochefu was shot dead at a petrol station in Oturkpo, Benue State, on 25 November 1999 under a mysterious circumstance.

ComputersCloud Computing: How Your Personal Computer Will Become A Terminal by Jury(op): 1:18pm On Nov 22, 2016
Soon enough personal computers will no longer be personal. This revolution, this change in the way we relate to our computer is sneaking up on us without us seeing it or being aware of it. It will affect us in one way or the other, after the storm is over we will never view our personal computers the way we do now. Nothing will be personal about computer again and every personal computer will become a terminal, though a useful one.
Indeed computers are personal to the owners or users. On arrival in your homes, shops or office, they arrived with nothing but basic software plus the generally needed drives. No personal or industrial applications or software. Like a new-born’s mind “tabula rasa”, they came blank. Then we load them up with software and applications that appeals to us and useful for our work, thus we create a computer in our image. Engineers load their computers with all engineering software they can think off, Fashion designers, mechanics, architects, bankers, accountants, music producers and everyone that has a reason to use a computer loads it with their industry software. It is this customization, that every laptop, every desktop pass through that makes them personal computers.
But two developing sectors in the computer industry is gradually facing out personal computer and rending them into a terminal. In two or three year’s time, your treasured personal computer will be an access point and nothing about that computer will ever again be personal. For a long time, cloud storage has been in existence but has played the back fiddle until now. Cloud storage is the storage of digital data and information on remote servers that can be access from any internet enable computer.
Cloud storage according to some started in 1960 with Joseph C. R. Licklider’s effort on ARPANET to connect people with data at any point in time and place. While others pointed at CompuServe offer of a disk space to its customers in 1983. Whatever and whenever cloud storage starts, the truth of the matter is that cloud storage is becoming an industry standard. And in Nigeria, we have the Central Security Clearing System, CSCS that launched commercial Digital Storage and Retrieval system sometimes back around 2005-2006c.
With the growth and development of cloud storage, it gave birth to cloud computing. Thus, the days of personally owning software might be over. Cloud computing enables business and person have access to application without having it installed on their system, which means you don’t have to install any word processing application on your system before you can use them. Visualize it like this, you buy a new computer whether desktop or laptop without any need to install any program. No adobe reader, no word processing, CAD or VLC yet you can use or have access to all of them online.
What is bringing this lifestyle change to Nigeria is nothing more than cheap and faster internet service. It is no longer news that 4G-lite internet service has landed on the shore of our country, the only news is that we have not realize the potent power packed with the service. That service will quickly grow the cloud storage and computing in Nigeria faster than we anticipated, it will give access to rapid growth in video calling and it will render our lives more virtual than ever before. Already, a crop of Nigerians lived and worked virtually online. If ever you can’t see me in person – find me online, virtually yours Ola Pat.

FamilyCommunities Campaigning For Parties Will Destabilize – Community Chairman by Jury(op): 4:18pm On Sep 24, 2016
Copied: from a community magazine website - www.communemag..com

The role played by every community member adds either to the growth or decline of such community. Every community has within its fold people obsessed with his growth and development and also people bent on bringing it to ruin. Commune Magazine quest to find people interested in community growth and prosperity led us to Onosanya Street in Ladi-Lak area of Bariga, Lagos just behind Gbagada estate. This community of 36 houses is the only known street in the Ladi-Lak area that operates and maintains a street lighting policy with or without PHCN electricity while the Lagos State Government is still working to implement the Light up Lagos policy. This community has taken the bull by the horn to light up their street in order to reduce crime in their community. Assistant Editor, Ola Pat spoke with Alhaji Tajudeen Gaffar Bello, the Chairman of Onasanya Community Association to find out how they power their street lights and ask other pertinent questions. Excerpt:


Who is Alhaji Taju?

My name is Alhaji Tajudeen Gaffar Bello, I am a printer based in Shomolu. I lived In Onasanya Street and I am the chairman of Onasanya Street Association.

What exactly is the duty of the Association?
We founded the association in order to solve and tackle community issues and problems. For example, when we have electrical issues, bad poles, damage transformer or prolong electrical power outage. It is the association duty to look for solution. In fact, we are representative of the Onosanya community. Recently, we had a bad electrical pole; it was the association that ensures that it was replaced by Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN. When we had a faulty transformer, it was also the association that carried out all the leg work for the replacement.

Your street road is not motorable, is there any plan to have it repaired?
We are still proposing to approach the Local Government to repair our road. It has been like this for a long time. Since, I have been here and that is about 13 years ago. There has never been any attempt to repair the road. It is the residents that make little repairs by sand filling the pot holes especially at the onset of the raining season.

What are the problems your association is grappling with?
Our major problem is the people attitude towards paying their monthly dues. Sometimes, we have to go out late night to be able to meet some of them in the house. We sometime need to get crafty with the sneaky ones. We collect the dues every month mostly during the environmental sanitation. Our major problem is people don’t want to pay.

How do you manage, when people don’t pay their dues?
We have not found a solution yet but we juggle it. We are able to meet out monthly bills especially the security men’s salary with the dues collected. We work hard to ensure that most of the houses on the street pay their dues, so we don’t have to serious cash problem at the end of the month. By the end of the month, with the collected revenue we are able to pay the security men and still have something left to run the generator.

How many security men do you have guiding you street?
We have only three of them.

Your security men are Oodua People’s Congress, OPC members, how do you ensure they don’t molest or victimize community members?
Our security men were provided by Adex and he understands that this is a responsible community that demands responsible security performance. Since, we employed them; they have not taken any untold or unnecessary aggression against anybody. We gave them mode of operation, even if they caught a thief. They are required to inform the Association Executive immediately. Then, we will investigate their claims and charges against the person before handing the person over to the police. For the past five years or there about, we have not had such experience.

What prompt the idea of lighting up your street with or without PHCN power supply?
Necessity is the master of invention. When people are coming in in the night, the community is always in perpetual darkness. Thus, that situation provides petty thieves the opportunity to snatch bags and phones. We thought of ways to lighten up the street. So, we decided to use the accumulated fund left to light up the street. We called an electrician to give us the cost of putting up a sort of street light. He gave us an estimate of 35,000 Naira for about 40 bulbs and wiring involved. We gave him the money to run the wire and put the light bulbs in place. As we are proposing how to buy a generating set, the campaign train of the Lagos House of Assembly came to our community. We have both All Progressive Congress, APC and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in our community. So, the PDP members brought in PDP candidate, Tolu Ebun. After telling us her plan for the constituency, she asked what she can do for our community and we told her we need a generating set to power our street light, when there is electricity outage. By the second day, APC candidate, Wole Diya had sent our community a generating set, while Tolu’s generating set arrived on the third day. With the generating set out of our list of what to buy, we were now saddled with how to power the generating set every night, because we hardly have electricity supply. We had to call a general meeting to discuss how we are going to fund the running of the generating set. We look at the number of houses in the community, it was about 34 buildings. We decided on powering the generating set with 500 naira fuel per day. That comes to an additional 500 Naira on the monthly due that is payable.

Now that the price of fuel has gone up, how do you do it?
We have not call a general meeting since then but we still maintain the 500 Naira per day fueling. Sometimes, the fuel finish around mid night or 1 am but we make sure that we put the light on around 8pm. By the time fuel finish, most of the street residents are in bed. One of the reasons for the lighting project was to prevent phone and bag snatching in the night from people coming back from work. And that have been achieved because we no longer receive complains of phone and bag snatching again. In fact, the boys that snatch phones and bags gave us a tough time, they kept cutting the wires and we tried as soon as we notice it to immediately effect the repairs.

How did you repay the politicians that donate the generating sets? Did your association endorse a particular party?
We cannot dictate to anybody, it is individual decision to make. When we start doing that we will have a divided community. The community must not campaign for any party in order not to destabilize it.

How do you ensure peace in the community between the different party members?
There cannot be disharmony because we separate community association form party politics. We did not bring politics into community development issues.

How do people get into position in the association?
There are some positions that are only open to people, who are landlords. These positions include Chairman and treasurer while all other positions are open to both landlords and tenants.

What project is your organization embarking on now?
People are not paying well; our next project is to secure the street by mounting a gate. When we mount those gates, it will help enhance our security and the security men will be more effective in their watch.

But, Lagos state government will prefer streets without gates?[b]
It is not that the Lagos State Government don’t want street to be gated because it is to enhance security of the residents. What the State Government is saying is that residents should have easy access to go in and out especially when they have an emergency. And that is not a problem as all our executives are well known and can be easily approach and access.

[b]Is your association affiliated to any CDA?


We are not affiliated to any CDA yet but we are already making that move. I attend CDA meetings at the Bariga LCDA office. Although, we are considering merging with other streets around us to form a new CDA, but these other street associations are still in their infancy. They are not as strong as we are.
