FROM MUD HOUSE TO GLASS HOUSE,(Barrister Mrs Erezi Esievo).Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others or emulate the prowess of their models,so a prudent man must always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding. If his own prowess fails to compare with theirs,at least it has an air of greatness about it.But who is Barrister Mrs Erezi Esievo?A blooded isoko woman who hail from emede.She spend her childhood days in emede,in a mud house with her grandmother.She does those things every normal isoko woman do,farming,cooking,fetching of fire woods,frying of garri,e t c.Taking others of the qualities I enumerated above,I think she will have a reputation for compassion rather than for cruety:I think is better to be loved,not to be feared.Do you have good relationship with your people?I know your friends we say yes,it is happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.If the emederians believe in your person,you will win with easy,because success and charity begins at home,the elders and their prayers ought not to be taken for granted.We do not envisage and end to this victory.We are determined not only to win but to win peace.plans must be prepared in advance.It is a fight for the future civilisation.It result we affect the lives of all men and women,not only those now engage in the struggle. How do you feel staying in a mud house,as a child?I believe the more you want to get something done,the less you call it work,because of the mud house experience, the mud house experience makes you think beyond, your sense of imagination was big,if only God can bless you,you will turn things around,God listen to your prayers,saw you through school,gave you a job,and since then you have been doing well for yourself,until the state decide to employ your person,by marking you a commissioner,God has really bless your person.But has your commissionership affected your people,(emede)?The craft center,I guest.But do you know how many numbers of boys and girls who are living in mud houses in emede?How many have you helped?Do not propose to say many words.The time has come when action rather than speech is required.Go and put your house together, especially the grief. A very tasking opportunity has present it self.Delta state house of assembly,isoko south constituency one.Congratulation,you won the primaries.Constituency one is comprise of a few communities,that will be under your care as their chief representativeThe weight of poverty falls most heavily on certain groups.Women in general are disadvantage. In poor households they often shoulder more of the workload than men,are less educated, and have less access to remunerative activitiesChildren,too,suffer disproportionately,and the future quality of their lives in compromised by inadequate nutrition,health care,and education.Can you handle these especially now that you are living in a glass house.We have shed our blood in other to save our democratic way of life,people are suffering.Distribution of wealth is the problem of isoko land.Can you make things right if you win,can you follow the footsteps of ,Honourable Powell tos Ojogho,Margaret Ekpo and Fumilayo Ransome kuti. The people is supreme.The party supremacy ends at the primary election.The people are meant to decide the faith of any contestant.I believe the people of constituency one are responding to your political manifestos.In 1922,Margret Ekpo fourth for the women of Abba, (taxation).Fumilayo Ransome kuti,fourth for the people of Egba land,when she discover the stealing attitude of the king,(Oba Ademola the 2nd),she drove him out of Egbaland.Can you imbibe the spirit of these women.Everything they do was because of the people,not money.Can you become the voice of the poor,the people.Can you act like a mother,before them. From mud house to glass house,these is history but do not destroy the end.We were born with nothing and we will all go home with nothing.Change is what I seek-kelvin ubara
