Ebonyi Gist lovers

  The red earth of Abakaliki heavily mourns the passing of HRH, Igwe Alphonsus Okpalaechelu (Spera-in-deo), the traditional ruler of Adazi Enu, Anambra State. He was more than a businessman; he became a monument. Today, Ebonyi’s iconic flyover stands where his vision took root, proving that our soil nurtures the dreams of strangers into towering landmarks. Walk through Abakaliki—our streets and markets are filled with the footprints of Ndi-Anambra who thrived because Ebonyi is a mother with an open womb. We gave land, trust, and brotherhood without discrimination. But as we honor this giant, we must look into the mirror. Why does the river of hospitality flow in only one direction? Too many Ebonyians in Anambra face thorny roads—denied apartments, stereotyped in workplaces, and treated like outsiders. We still remember when the lonely Abakaliki Street in Awka was almost stripped of its name. Is the blood of an Ebonyian water, while others drink wine? Brotherhood cannot be a one-way...

Ebonyi Gist Lovers, gather close! Put down whatever you are doing and let’s talk about a silent revolution happening right under our noses. Let’s talk about a man who isn’t just building blocks, but is actively carving destiny out of raw, forgotten stones. Last Christmas, while the world was merely merry-making,  Engr. Dr. Darlington Ugota  was planting seeds of greatness through the Ezza Ezekuna Unity Club .  He told us then that it wasn't just about the cheers on the pitch or the temporary entertainment of a football match.

Before we could even finish clapping,  the second batch of our young ambassadors took flight for Egypt! 🇪🇬🦅 Think about the sheer weigh...

A fruitful tree is known by the shade it provides and the deep roots that anchor it to the soil. For three years, Hon. Ken Kelvin Kenechukwu Okeh (KENOK) has been the sturdy Iroko tree of Ezza North East—deeply rooted in integrity, stretching out branches of shelter, and bearing the sweet fruits of democracy for all to enjoy. When a farmer finds a seed that yields a bountiful harvest, they do not change it; they nurture it for an even greater season. Why We Must Keep the Tap Running You do not change a captain who knows how to navigate the waters. Hon. Kenok has proven that leadership is not about a title; it is about being a shield and a provider for the people.   A Shelter in the Storm : Like a true guardian, he built and gifted modern homes to those who needed them most—the family of the late Pa Bishop Obegu in Enyim Umuoghara, and a deserving elderly widow in Ndiagu Azu-Ose. He didn't just build walls; he restored dignity.   During his ward-to-ward appreciation tour, he di...
