Tribute To Great Achiever

TRIBUTE TO GREAT AVHIVER,
LATE IGWE NELSON OKOYE
( OKEBO 1 OF UMUERI)

I write this tribute on my own volition. This. Is because the legacies of Late Igwe Nelson Ugume -na-Umudiana Okoye (Okebo 1 of Umueri), Traditional Ruler and Chief custodian of native laws and customs of Umueri Kingdom speak volumes even after his death. Igwe, your achievements in Umueri were so much that no other person has been able to reach such glorious heights.

I make bold to say that your idea of health schemes were superlative, the very best even in the present 184 communities in Anambra State. You were the chairman of Amaoku Age Grade. Under your watch, a superb General Hospital was built and donated to Anambra State Government before Nigeria-Biafra Civil War.

It is on record, that your educational projections the best in our clime. Under your leadership, free and compulsory education was introduced. Again, oversea scholarship schemes were introduced. It is an established fact Late Barrister Fredrick Jideani (LLM), the first Umueri indigenous lawyer was a beneficiary of your visionary, proactive and progressive educational policies. He trained outside the shores of Nigeria.

Igwe, you were wonderful in the area of security. Umueri Kingdom and territories were so guarded and secured to the awe of her neighbours. Today. Such security architecture is history.

Oke-Ebo, to me, you were the best in all sphere of human endeavours. Whatever any person or persons say, think or insinuate that are in contrast the above submission are inconsequential, and tangential and farcical.


Adieu, Great Achiever !

Adieu, Igwe Nelson Okoye !!

Adieu, Okebo 1 of Umueri!!!
