STILL ON THE OHA IYI AFOR: I categorically disagree with those religious bigots, and opportunists’ seeking cheap popularity, the oha tree is not and cannot bring retrogression to ENYIOGWUGWU people. Whatever deity or oracle cannot be found in the OHA tree, but in the heart of the chief priest and the people who revere it. What efforts have they made to bring the chief priest to Christ?. Changing names from Enyiogwugwu to whatever; is baseless and has no meaning because the name has nothing to do with the people. Enyiogwugwu has produced many prominent people and men of God, even those that partook in the so called liberation are products of the name and the tree hindered them, will they be men of God today? Many of us who are so myopic in thinking and prisoners of this latter day Pentecostal confusions, have even believed them hook, line and sinker; and some lazy folks who mortgaged their future with drinking at the notable sit-outs at Afor Enyiogwugwu thinks after you change your name, wealth will start falling from the sky for you?.Do you know that apart from the biblical JABEZ; there are millions of people who answered Jabez and were successful? THESE PEOPLE BORE THE NAME JABEZ YET THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL: Jabez Darnell (1884-1950), English footballer Jabez Delano Hammond (1778-1855), American physician, lawyer, author and politician Jabez Carter Hornblower (1744-1814), English pioneer of steam power Jabez W. Huntington (1788–1847), U.S. Representative and Senator from Connecticut Jabez Young Jackson (1790–1839), U.S. Representative from Georgia Jabez Leftwich (1765–1855), Representative from Virginia Jabez A. Bostwick (1830-1892), American businessman who was a founding partner of Standard Oil Jabez Bowen, Jr. (1739–1815), a deputy governor of Rhode Island, militia colonel during the American Revolutionary War and Chief Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court Jabez Bryce (1935-2010), Anglican Archbishop of Polynesia and the first Pacific Islander to become an Anglican bishop. I fully support the cutting down of the OHA TREE, not on religious or superstitious ground but for serious ‘SAFETY CONCERNS’. Because our people are bedeviled by ignorance, the danger posed by the tree has been over looked. In their short sightedness, they did not see that what happened in Mbieri last year when the ancient Iroko tree in their market square fell down from the entire root; killing many people in the market could still happen to us? I believe the tree has never prevented any one from progressing except those who’s thinking and actions wanted it to hinder their progress. I am glad the tree is down and did not cause any harm in the process.
