Hobbies include watching football matches and singing Spiritual Songs. Ilis role model is the Apostle Paul Advice to the Igbo Youths- "FaceJesus Christ, look unto the Rock from where your are taken. Then willyou focus in Unity ofpurposeandfaith and fear oflhe Lord". The Igbo Leaders "put your trust on Godalone.Avoid fetishism andOccultism. They shouldstop attracting the wrath of God upon our peoples. They should all stop wanting to beSenate President". The Igbos are uniquepeople with the special love of God. It is the Race in Nigeria wilh one name of its States taking its name from the Bible. I tell you, ABIAcame to the scene through fervent and dedicated prayers. It resulted from forty days twenty four hours circular prayers organised in Umuahia in July and August 1991. Most oflhe people harvesting the best ofAbia Stale did not even know about this prayer session nor did they participate in it. like the creation of the Stale of Israel. Abia State which takes its name from the Bible, vvas created by divine intervention. All Igbo people. Old. Young. Rich. Poor. Led and Leaders must understand that God is concerned in the Igbo race. Departure from this truth is disaster. Our present identification and affiliation with money and the Mammon goddess is disastrous. Igbos must go back to God. people preaching culture and cultural reawakening are only being unkind lo the course ofthe Igbos. Igbos should all be identified in one political group or party, Igbos should learn to say no to any political situation that injures their unity focus, Igbos should reject any political appointment thai makes nonsense of their joint aspiration. Igbos should say No to any political arrangement which places ihe destiny oflhe Igbos as a corporate entity, for sale, they say "give money to an Igbo man and he will sell his mother to you". This is de-humanising. It makes us impoverished in Psyche of our existence as a people. Believe it or refuse it. ihe Igbo girl, that wore the pride of chasily is today sad adornment ofthe bed of all comers. Igbo women are today wives of people who in the days gone bye would not have dreamt of such a pride. People in all sorts of government uniforms are on rampage in Igboland. These origins from the day we lost the so called Biafran War. My heart bleeds. I remember ihe days of "Igbo Day" it vvas to an Igbo man a belter one than any oilier "Igbos think".
