AT LAST, ASABA STOOD TALL, COMMITTED, FIRM AGAINST ALL DANGEROUS SOCIAL VICES WITHIN HER TERRITORIES.

Every Dick and Harry in Nigeria today, like the back of their hands, knows that there are some social vices that are huge negative plugs, which hopelessly negate peace, unity, growth, security, advancement, solidarity, and sustainable development of any village, community or clan in the nation.

To this extent, the entire Asaba Nation, today, Monday, left no stone unturned, at making sure that social vices within Asaba inland town and all her satellite outpost settlements are cleansed of these social vices. 

Many thanks to the visionary leadership strides of the town's Monarch, whose wise leadership strides led to today's evolutionary and revolutionary trends within its wings, bearing positive outcomes, as testified by natives, residents, business owners and visitors, who stood in awe, surprise, shock and seemingly unbelievable state of expression on their faces, as the procession and train of Ahaba townwide renouncing cum super cleansing motorcade of anti social vice crusaders toured Ahaba's length, breath, width, and four cardinal points of the town, championing, advocating, campaigning, while, disseminating the Gospel of social change and grassroot oriented renewable, advancement and sustainable development, this narrative made a huge difference, remarkable outcome and left all within Ahaba Nation asking, what is this new trend and happening in Ahaba Nation today.

A few weeks ago, Ahaba Monarch and his council members were inspired to launch this new directive towards a permanent traditional end to all Ahaba based social vices. This wise resolution led to today's reality, all thanks to all of them.

Today, Monday, 30th June, all positive minded Ahaba Community Elders, Women, and Youth Leaders turned out in their numbers in response and solidarity to their town's Monarch's new directives towards a total end and a complete renewal of the town's roadmap envisioned at complete annihilation of social vices in the town, which to any standards of evaluation, left the most positive yardsticks of affirmative outcomes. Many thanks to all Ahaba Traditional Stakeholders, whose support and solidarity toward the realisation of this initiative brought forth the most beautiful outcomes. 

The day's renouncing and cleansing rites began at the early hours of the day, with an initial consultative summon at Ogbe-Eke Square unto all Ahaba Divine Entities, Gods, Goddesses, Essences, Spirits, to wake up to the fight for total annihilation of social vices, within her geopolitical spaces and landscapes. This spiritual exercise at Ogbe-Eke Square, this morning was a function and implementation of well organised function, designed to awaken all Ahaba spiritual entities, to respond positively towards the realisation of today's Pro-Ahaba function.

From Ogbe-Eke Square, all Ahaba progressive stakeholders embarked upon a townwide tour of all the town's inland town sacred grounds (Ihu-Ani Ogbes); as well as junctions and points of entries into all Ahaba Satellite Towns, and Ime Ogbe Sacred Grounds (Ihu-Ani Ogbe).

This townwide procession, which began at Ogbe-Eke Square, undertook the most progressive townwide procession, with a lot of accolade to the town's Monarch.

The train moved from Ogbe-Eke Square to Ihu-Ani Umuezei to Ihu-Ani Ahaba, then to Ihu-Ani Eze Anyanwu, to cable point, then headed towards Asaba end head bridge.

Then the train moved down to Asaba Cattle Market, along Asaba-Benin Expressway, then had a brief stop at Okwe Junction, Bonsacc Bakery Junction, Achala Ibusa Junction opposite Deputy Governor's Office by Asaba-Benin Expressway, and then stopped at Koka Junction.

This proactive minded Pro-Ahaba progressive train began their next round of townwide rejecting, renouncing, and cleansing rites from 74 Junction down to Pinacle Junction, opposite school of midwifery.

Leaving Ahaba's satellite towns, the progressive team moved down to Ihu-Ani Efule-Efu, by lion house, along Nnebisi Road, then moved to Ihu-Ani Umuagu, next to, Ihu-Ani Ugbomanta, next to Ihu-Ani Umuonaje and Ihu-Ani Umuaji, thereafter, returned back Ogbe-Eke Square, the last bus-stop, where the progressive team, was lavishly treated to a rich, entertaining welcome back reception.

At each of these above-mentioned inland town's sacred grounds (Ihu-Ani) and satellite town outposts, two canon shots were released to inform and appease the Deities in charge, about the mission of the day.

Some well renowned traditional chief priests of these over 100% potent Nature Deities (Alusi) were carefully reached out to, lobbied, and soght their freewill participation in today's event, over which they willingly subscribed to, either because their past generations were born into Ahaba, as well as that, they naturally love this town that had massively blessed and supported their respective traditional enterprises in the town, for which, their gladness over this day, according to them is an endless memory.

This proactive townwide procession was greatly led and organised by Obi Chief Nwanze Oduah, Odogwu Ahaba and Ogbueshi Uche Nwajie, Onoi Ahaba, respectively, of which at each Ihu-Ani and Satellite Town's Junctions, joined the invited Nature Deities at making futuristic pronouncements in support, defence and solidarity of the day's mission and responsibility.

Returning back to Ogbe-Eke Square, all participants in the campaign and rally were welcome back home to some wonderful Ahab traditional musical tunes and later enjoyed great rounds and sessions of merry-making, entertainment and fun-filled sessions.

Today's townwide exercise came to a beautiful end at Ogbe-Eke Square, where some rounds of cannon shots were realised to signify the end of the day's event. 

This post here is a first-hand and preamble to the forthcoming full-scale video record of the day's event, soon to be uploaded on Itah Di Na Ahaba's YouTube Channel, please stay tuned!!!!
