Little Events, Make Big History
Happy Birthday to Onihea Roland Nwanze
In 2023, the Ibusa Stakeholders, better known as “Ibusa Elites” was constituted with Chief Roland Nwanze as the Chairman and I had first appeared on the list as the Assistant General Secretary of the hurriedly constituted peace group. A few minutes later, my name was declared missing, which was not surprising but typical of the Ibusa society where wealth ranks above anything else.
Finding it hard to believe, this birthday celebrant, a socially endorsed crusader, quickly swung into action and I was back. Troubled by my experience, I hesitantly accepted my re-appearance.
Working closely with him, unveiled my understanding of this ‘jus naturale’ as one seeking the return of peace in the Ibusa community and the well-being of small and big indigene. Combustible Nwanze who within a short period strived to restore peace in the community, fractionally susceptible to faction, made me to wonder where his Ibusa likes were before now but it was best hidden in silence.
Happy birthday to you, Chief Roland Nwanze, the Onihea of Ibusa.
May you continue to soar higher and higher.
