Rape as a Weapon against the Ngwa Community

I have not written anything in a while. A lot has been happening in our community that not only shocks but it brings tears to my eyes. A few year ago we had the "Utu" phenomenon. A self confessed once professed secretary to witches for a fee was sanitizing the community of people who he once claimed to serve with. He went from village to village and in the process destroyed people who were institutions in their communities. The order of things were now upside down.

Life Lessons: Nothing is Permanent Our guest this week is Mr. Olu Abosede, Founder and former Managing Director of a wholly indigenous, quoted company, Aboseldehyde Plc. The company was once used as a reference point for other local entrepreneurs who would want their companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Within a period of 14 years, the company had become a very strong brand in the country in its niche area. Things were also pretty good for our guest who built his first personal multi-million Naira house at age 28 and the second at 32. His children were in choice schools locally and abroad. His house at Gbagada, in Lagos State, was a beehive of activities by friends and associates who regularly showed up on weekends to treat themselves to some choice wines in his well-stocked personal bar.
