Fleeing gunmen on Monday attacked a convoy of a former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, and killed four of his police orderlies in the process.

Ohakim’s convoy was attacked at Oriagu in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of the state on Monday evening.

Ohakim who escaped by the whiskers had his backup vehicle bombed, leading to the death of the four policemen in his convoy.

Our correspondent gathered that Ohakim was with two of his children and was returning from a visit when the gunmen struck.

The source said, “his excellency was the main target but his driver was smart enough to beat them because they were driving to block him.

“Disappointed that their main target had escaped, they blocked his backup vehicle and burnt it. The four policemen with him burnt.”

Our correspondent gathered that a reinforcement came from Owerri, the state capital and escorted him to his house.

Ohakim who spoke to our correspondent was sober.

This story, is purpose-built to speak to parents, teachers, and grown-up youths across cultures. Thus, it's about a typical case of an African parent raising a child in a European neighbourhood.

I believe you have desired a few times - if not more - about RAISING RESPONSIBLE ADULTS OUT OF YOUR CHILDREN. Now, here's a secret you must hold dear to your worried heart: If you want a child to be responsible early enough, give him/her a sense of belonging and responsibility early enough.

But, it's not as simple as just said. Rather, there is a delicate balance that needs to be attained between giving and taking responsibilities between parents and teachers on one side, and the kids on the other based on a number of factors.

There are issues so delicate that you can learn them well only by relating them to living examples. So, in the Premiere Episode of Ezek:
How My Teenage Son Started This Revolution In Swindon, you read the conversation between Ezek and his Dad.

The youth was being responsible enough to obey his Dad and respond to an emergency situation. The boy was also responsible enough to fold up a piece of fabric he knew was dear to his Dad.

The boy was this responsible! Yet, his Dad was so irresponsible that he (Dad) rebuked him (Son) for a responsible act he (Son) did for him (Dad) too. Hope you read the story above���.

At this point, Ezek would have been irresponsible if he let his Dad's irresponsibility be. Hence, you can see how Ezek's Dad utilized the gaffe, turning it to an advantage.

Are we giving and taking from our children the right amounts of responsibility? This will determine a lot how fast and how well they grow into responsible adulthood.

In our next meeting (if it holds), we will discuss the highly nuanced subject of taking and giving responsibilities. You will be able to see far behind Ezek's Dad's parenting philosophy that makes him apportion just enough responsibility to kids at the right age brackets to get them healthily responsive.

Na wa in Imo,no one should take this foolish to either Ngwaland or Ikwereland.

Roboto11:
Abia state is where all this rubbish started so it must descend on the entirety of Abia before ending.

NgwaManEatyou1:
It won't work because Ngwaland is not Abia,But in Abia, unless you want us to roast your flesh,we don't kill police senselessly.

Roboto11:
Everyone knows about you.

And the funny thing is, the SW governors are not doing anything to further stop these folks from trooping into the SW after cheering their region to be ungovernable with Biafra or death

The increasing numbers of Omo Nnas in the SW is getting too much and calls for urgency bfr they litter SW with their nonsense

NgwaManEatyou1:
That one I'm proud.

Roboto11:
I agree.

Their migration must be checked.

Roboto11:
Totally agree.

They cannot be fomenting trouble in their land, killing indigenes and visitors alike, at the sane time insulting SW leaders and people yet seeking refuge in SW.

They should go back home.
