Man Visits Alma Mater, Vows to Transform it in 2 Months

Renowned Anambra industrialist and CEO of Zobis Cables Ltd, Engr. John Ezeobi, on Wednesday, 19th June,2024, paid a surprise visit to his alma mater, Ede Secondary School in Okoti, Odekpe, Ogbaru LGA of Anambra State, to assess the school's infrastructure.

Ezeobi, who attended the school from 2001 to 2003 and served as the Senior Prefect, was touched by the decaying infrastructure, particularly the school's vulnerability to flooding during the rainy season. He said he was approached by the school's owners to buy the property, but he declined, wanting to preserve the institutional legacy. He equally stated that the school harbours some part of his childhood memories and most importantly shaped him into what he is today in the society.

Despite the school being a private school, Ezeobi was moved to intervene, as the deteriorating infrastructure and environmental challenges posed significant obstacles to learning.

He has planned a two-phase project, which includes rebuilding classroom blocks, constructing modern toilets, and implementing flood control measures.

The first phase of the project is expected to be completed within two months, after which the company will move on to the second stage which is expected to gulp several million of naira.

The industrialist expressed optimism that the impact on the school's 350 students and new enrollments will have a positive effect on the community.

The project is being carried out under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative of Ezeobi's company, Zobis Cables Industries Ltd.

The school's administration has commended Ezeobi's generosity, expressing excitement and a sense of rejuvenation as the institution returns to life through the efforts of one of its alumni.

Ede Secondary School was founded in 1994 by Chief Dr. Elder John Ugboma Okei (Ede 1 of Odekpe).

I visited my Alma mater around December last year. It was so amazing like a private school. The Federal Government really spent money in rehabilitating Federal Government Colleges.

This is a government or Church owned building remember?

There are brown roof buildings in the Southeast but not many because its like a culture in Igbo land for every male child or even female child to go back to his or her hometown to rennovate his or her father's building once he/she starts succeeding financially.


Also during burial ceremonies, Igbos have indirectly made it to become a culture to rennovate their father's house before the burial.


All these practices are what made it difficult to see brown roof buildings in the Southeast compared to Southwest where people easily forget and abandon their ancestral home once they become successful in the city.


Most Yorubas don't visit their father's hometown or what Igbos call village as soon as they become successful. Only very few Yorubas go back to their hometown when they become successful.


most will claim Lagos, Ibadan, etc as their hometown.


I stand to be corrected

Those complaining of brown roof. The brown roof is that of the school.

Odekpe is a village in Anambra. One of the very few remaining in Anambra

Soon, the wave of development will sweep away the remaining brown roof in thay place

Lol... There's nothing like holy pass here... The advantage is not more than 5minutes pleasure, and can never surpass the disadvantages... When you get just one percentage of the disadvantage, it will erase every memory of your so called 100% advantage. Grow up and stop risking your useless life, even if it adds values to no one, atleast save us from spreading the potential disease you might contact from this dirty place you visits.

You sincerely need to get a life son.

I thought you liars said no brown roof in the East. grin

Not only Odekpe, na Odeku. Go to Ugwunobamkpa side in Onitsha inland town and see brown roof plenty there.
You can only deceive those who don't know the East.

Depends on your definition of clean.... A pnany that injects an average of 3-5 d*ck daily can never be clean to me.

Change your ways you little boy, it's for your own good
