A new chapter in the celebrated rivalry between Chief Willy Obiano's led Eziagulu team, Prof. Obiefune's led Ivite team, Pastor Jossy's Igboezunu and Chief Chinedu Nnatuany's Enugwu team: Hon Obidigwe, Tony Oli , Tony Moore, IkC, Tony Iwoba, Primus Odili , Prince Amechi Michael Omazu, Hon Cato Ameke, Edwin Udenze and other notable Aguleri men will continue fully today,on 4th December when Ivite, Igboezunu, Enugwu and Eziagulu teams will fully commence the battle for supremacy at the group stage of Aguleri Annual Ijenoke crowd funding competition organized by Aguleri World Forum.
Already, Prof Michael Obiefune, the leader of Ivite team has thrown up a big challenge with a whooping sum of N5m, followed by Igboezunu Ikenga's N2m donated by the Dublin based Pastor Jossy Akwuobi.
Enugwu and Eziagulu are the teams that are yet to make a reasonable Ijele statement after two days, except the average scores of N250k and N200k from Okiri Alagwua and Barr. Chukwudi Onyejekwe respectively. Others are just normal goals.
Now, all eyes are on Chief Chinedu Nnatuanya as the major indaboski and hope of Enugwu team to either reply Prof Obiefune's N5m or at least cancel Pastor Jossy's N2m for Enugwu team to stand a chance in this competition. Every body knows his capacity in this game and Uduakommili and Hon Cato Ameke are equal to the task.
In Eziagulu, Chief Willy Obiano's presence in Pius Nchekeube's list brought a lot of hope and also caused a big anxiety at the opponents camps and they could not sleep throughout last night after the announcement of Akpokuodike's readiness to make statement in Ijenoke 2023.
Akpokuodike is not any body's match in this game. He has been playing it in the past and is now happy to see his brothers joining him in the community building through the annual community crowd funding competition. The Ex Governor is the only man that can cancel Prof Obiefune's score in less than 2 seconds.
Like the old Roman soldier, Odogwu Omabala has continued to march on and on with great qualities as a human. He was given a Chieftaincy title as Akpokuodike before he became the Governor of Anambra State. *Meaning when we call a warrior* . It is lucid that warriors are always called in times of difficulties and this Ijenoke becomes another opportunity to enjoy his philanthropist extraordinaire that has brought smiles in the faces of the less privileges in the society.
Chief Obiano, Odogwu that built Airport, the lover of congo music, the good husband of Chief Mrs E.V Obiano( Osodieme), Papa Ojinnaka. His large heart and soft spot for the development of his community is unequalled.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Odogwu Aluta also known as Jagaban ndi Ivite will not tell you who will win this competition. But I promise you that we’ll work hard. I don’t know if Ivite will win, but we will try very hard.
Just Fasten your seat belts, you are going to enjoy the ride.
