While I sincerely commend Governor Nwifuru for gifting an Ebonyi Writer, Obinna Udenwe the sum of 20 million naira for his Book “Years Of Shame”, I want to equally remind him that Mr Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro is yet to be honoured by him or the State Government for being the first Nigerian to translate Physics text book from English Language to Igbo Language.
This is a feat nobody has achieved!.
I was part of those who pleaded that this young man should be honoured before he finally travelled to the United States of America.
There is this notion that the state government only recognises people from Izzi under this government.
For instance, MC Walter was gifted a brand new car for his Guinness World Record which we didn’t see, now; Obinna Udenwe being well recognised by the same government.
When someone told me this, I said it’s not true because recently, my own farm which I spent millions of naira to cultivate was washed away by flood. Till now, the State Government did sympathise with me despite coming from Izzi. So, I totally don’t want this agenda to be promoted.
Why am I saying this?
“What is good for the goose is also good for the gander”. Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro deserves recognition by the state government.!..
