By Ifeanyi Nwapanyi.
From time immemorial, the people of Ndokwa nation have lived as one inseparable whole, fully exercising the romance of brotherly love and uninterrupted serenity. From Aboh to utagba unor, back to Obiaruku to Abbi and Utagba Ogbe, love permeated geographical boundaries and we were the envy of the world.
Unfortunately, this genealogical tree is being presently cut by a leader who should be packing sand round the tree to strengthen the roots. Hon. Friday Osanebi is one leader whose pace of acceleration in the political landscape of Ndokwa nation is a common knowledge.
No one has however ever stood on his way as a result of pockets of philantrophic gestures attributed to his name. He has however thread on the tail of the chameleon with his recent shameful and degrading role in the feud between Kwale and Beneku both in Ndokwa nation.
Instead of negotiating for peace, he has succeeded in putting a knife on the things that held us together and celebrating the falling apart of a nation. He gave a directve of recent barring Kwale people from operating shops or businesses in Beneku unless they resided there.
What sort of draconian directive could this be from a leader? What a slap on his office? What a reversal of a responsibility?
As if this was not enough, he has directed the shutting down of Pontu, the only access to these communities from Kwale. Where then is the morality in his political philosophy? I urge him to thread with caution, understand his age by revisiting his birth certificate, thank God for his stars and be grateful and respectful to the whole Ndokwa Nation.
Finally, I leave him with the Chinese apophthegm which urges that sofily sofily catchee monkey!
