~ DEVELOPMENT OF UZII COMMUNITY SHOULD BE YOUR PRIORITY ~ CHIEF OKWUDIRI ORJIAKOR OUTGOING PG

Uzii a community known for her hospitality in nature, with tourism sites to behold. Richly blessed with human and natural resources. Very hard working people, achieving positive results in different sphere of life. They are also blessed in agricultural produce.

Located in Ideato North local government area of Imo State. Uzii have ten villages that made up the town, which includes

1. Umudieshie
2. Okorokwara
3. Umuonuoha
4. Umuohachu
5. Umuokwarajiaku
6. Umuezeanoruo
7. Abiakanegbo
8. Umuobia
9. Ezihe
10. Umuerenama

In the realm of community development, having a visionary and strategic leader is crucial for the success and development of any community or society.

In the past, Uzii town have had good number of President General, who had taken turn in contributing their quote for the development and for betterment of the community. Uzii Town Union is the echelon body of decision making of the community.

Some of the past President General of the Uzii Town Union in their determination to repositioning the community for development, had made sacrifices for the good of the people and Uzii community.

Exceptional among the past President Generals is the outgoing PG of Uzii Town Union Chief Okwudiri Orjiakor popularly known as Obiadada. Chief Orjiakor whose tenure will be coming to an end on the 3rd of February 2024 being the handover date to the newly elected executives of the Uzii Town Union, which their election was held on the 29th of December 2023.

Obiadada has been described widely and referred to by many as exceptional strategist and a positive thinker.

This article aims to shed light on his instrumental role and emphasize the importance of his contributions to the development of Uzii ancient kingdom.

As an Uzian, is important to recognise and appreciate the profound impact Chief Okwudiri Orjiakor has made while piloting the affairs of the community through the town union as the president general.

Today Uzii Town Union has become so interesting for all sons of the community to join, courtesy of the vital role and people oriented policies enacted by the outgoing PG.

Obiadada has written his name on the marble and has done his bit in developing Uzii ancient kingdom.

At the last general assemble of the town union, he stated that for the incoming PG to excel, he should prioritise development of Uzii as his focus agenda and jettison any other distractions that may arise while on his journey to making a positive impact to the community.

The onus now lies on the newly elected President General Hon Chijioke Alaekwe (Ochinanwata) together with his team of Executives to take up the baton from Obiadada.

Like the saying goes, to whom much is giving, much is expected of him.

Is not in doubt that focus will now be shifted to the newly elected executives of the Uzii Town Union. The team has been adjudged as men of timber and calibre, with deep knowledge and experiences to take the community to a higher height and possibly achieve greater results than the past leadership of the community.

More especially, expectations are high from the people to see the new PG Hon Chijioke Alaekwe (Ochinanwata)make wonderful marks on the community as the President General.

The people wants to see new innovations and ideas that would catapult the community to limelight and as well rub shoulders with other sister communities around.

Just like it was at the newly entry of Chief Orjiakor, the people never knew what he could bring to table. So it is now with that of Ochinanwata as the new president general.

Few days after the election on the 29th of December 2023, Hon Chief Chijioke Alaekwe (Ochinanwata) took a good step in the right direction by assembling the newly elected executives of the town union in his house for familiarisation meeting.

In that meeting; some of us observed carefully to understood what he has to offer the community and direction in which he intends to achieve his set goals as the new PG of Uzii Town Union.

To our amazement,we discovered that Ochinanwata is embodied with qualities of a visionary leader. He is full of wisdom and well detailed on challenges the community are faced with. He knows what is expected of him and the entire new executives of the town union. He charged them not to fall short of expectations.

He spoke passionately about his love for Uzii and also talked about his desire to consolidate on major achievements of the outgoing. He said, we’ll equally study carefully the policies and see where can be amended if need be.

Hon Chijioke eluogised Chief Orjiakor over his achievements, commended him on the positive and critical decisions he made during his tenure. He appreciated his level of commitment and dedication to the good people of Uzii.

While at the meeting,i also noticed that Hon Alaekwe did not crown himself nor did he subscribe to the title of King Solomon in wisdom. He made it known that he will practice an open door policy, and will appreciate in high esteem ideas and suggestions within the core executives and beyond that will help and enable the community to move forward.

After the meeting, it became clearer that Uzii is on safe hands, as the new executive pinpointed key point agendas to focus on within the next four years of their stay in office as the leaders of the community.

I will be concluding by calling on all Uzii sons and daughters, Ndi Ishi Ala’s , Eze’s cabinet, town union branch chairmen,village chairmen, Umuada, youths and including Christian body and traditionalist and every other components in Uzii to please give maximum support to the newly elected President General and his team.

I also know that at every point in time, the new executives will be consulting with the former leaders of the community on issues that need a wider consultations.

May i plead that they afford the new executives the opportunity to offer suggestions and ideas that will help to take Uzii to another level.

Let us collectively always pray Maka Odi Nma Uzii, Nakwa Mmepe Ala Uzii.

I want to end with this phrase normally used by my predecessor

“Always remember, peace is priceless and terror is senseless, let’s give PEACE a chance”

 

God bless Alauri

God bless Uzii Ancient Kingdom.

Comr. Austin Udoka Onuigbo newly elected PRO Uzii Town Union.

Lady Nearly Plunged To Her Death From 10th Floor Window While Escaping From Lover’s Wife (Video)

Published

on

A woman in China was captured on video clinging to the exterior of a high-rise building as she attempted to avoid being caught by her lover’s wife—a dramatic scene that has since gone viral online.

Residents in Guangdong province watched in disbelief as the woman dangled from a tenth floor balcony, appearing at moments to lose her grip.

Footage shows a shirtless man speaking to her through a window before retreating inside. Holding her phone, she begins lowering herself toward the floor below, using drainpipes and narrow ledges to steady herself.

The video shows her sliding down a water pipe and knocking urgently on a neighbour’s window. The occupant eventually opens up and pulls her to safety.

Local reports say a married man pushed his mistress out onto the balcony in a panic when his wife unexpectedly returned home, forcing her to attempt the perilous escape. The recording spread rapidly across Chinese social media, with many users saying the pair had been left “socially dead” by the public exposure and would face deep embarrassment.

Commenters also warned that climbing the exterior of a high rise posed extreme risks and could easily have ended in a fatal fall.

The incident comes shortly after a separate tragedy in the UK, where twenty nine year old Bartosz Urbaniak died after falling from a balcony at a holiday park event in Skegness.

Witnesses said he attempted to climb between balconies before losing his footing. A trainee nurse at the scene administered CPR, and he was flown to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, but he died two days later from severe head injuries.

The kick-off of the Imo Economic Summit of December 2025 marked a historic moment as global political and business leaders converged on Owerri to demonstrate unprecedented support for Governor Hope Uzodimma’s ambitious plan to unlock Imo State’s economic future. It was the first summit of such scale since the State’s creation, signalling the beginning of a transformative journey.

World leaders, leading economists, global investors, and high-ranking government representatives were in attendance, showcasing the event’s international significance. Their presence reaffirmed the global community’s interest in partnering with Imo State as it strategically positions itself for accelerated development.

Among the distinguished guests were President Joseph Boakai of Liberia, President Amina Akim of Mauritius, Prime Minister Americo Ramos of São Tomé and Príncipe, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. Each brought with them perspectives shaped by decades of leadership in global development.

Representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, delivered a powerful message of solidarity from the Federal Government. He praised the vision of the summit and reiterated the President’s unwavering support for Imo’s economic reawakening.

President Tinubu, through his representative, emphasized that partnership between subnational governments and the federal structure is vital to sustaining national growth. He highlighted that the administration is committed to helping states implement reforms that expand business opportunities, strengthen infrastructure, and create jobs.

He expressed confidence that the summit would serve as a launchpad for unlocking the economic ecosystem of Imo State, urging local and international investors to seize the abundant opportunities created by recent national reforms and the enabling environment already visible in the State.

In their keynote presentations, the leaders of Liberia, Mauritius, and São Tomé and Príncipe underscored Africa’s rising profile in global economics. They noted that Nigeria—particularly states like Imo with an energetic youth population—is positioned to lead the continent’s next wave of advancement.

President Amina Akim of Mauritius highlighted renewable energy as a frontier sector and pledged collaboration with Imo State to expand its clean energy initiatives. She described Imo as a willing and capable partner in Africa’s green energy expansion.

President Joseph Boakai of Liberia emphasized the role of innovation in driving transformational growth. He stressed that technological adoption can reposition Imo as a regional economic force and urged African leaders to prioritise development-focused governance.

President Boakai noted shared similarities between Imo and Liberia, praising both societies for their resilience and commitment to progress. He encouraged deeper regional cooperation to strengthen democratic governance and inclusive development.

Boakai also celebrated Liberia’s recent election to a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, stating that such achievements reflect broader African progress—a progress he believes Imo State is prepared to actively contribute to through visionary leadership.

Welcoming the global audience, Governor Uzodimma described the summit as a turning point in Imo’s economic journey. He declared that Imo has transitioned from a rising State to a fully risen one, ready to compete with major investment destinations across Africa.

The Governor introduced a new definition of IMO: Investment Meets Opportunities, underscoring the State’s strategic location, entrepreneurial population, and expanding infrastructure as key pillars for sustained growth.

Uzodimma applauded President Tinubu’s nationwide policy reforms, stating they have created the right conditions for investors to thrive. He emphasized that Imo’s $1 trillion economy aspiration is fully aligned with the Federal Government’s economic renewal agenda.

He highlighted Imo’s competitive advantages, including fertile agricultural belts, a rapidly expanding digital ecosystem, and its status as home to the largest proven gas reserves in West Africa—assets he said investors can immediately leverage.

Addressing infrastructure, the Governor announced that Imo has successfully constructed over 120 major roads linking communities, industrial zones, and neighbouring states. He said the improved connectivity is already stimulating commerce and reducing travel time.

A major announcement was the imminent commencement of the Light Up Imo Project, which aims to deliver 24-hour electricity to power industries, tech hubs, and commercial districts. Uzodimma described constant electricity as the backbone of the State’s economic plan.

On land reforms, the Governor revealed that the establishment of the Imo Land Information Centre has eliminated bottlenecks and transformed land administration into a modern, transparent, and technology-driven system, thereby boosting investor confidence.

He further identified other transformative initiatives such as dredging the Orashi River to the Atlantic to unlock maritime trade, establishing Imo as Nigeria’s digital innovation centre, and promoting OKOBI—One Kindred, One Business Initiative—to stimulate grassroots enterprise development.

Concluding his address, Governor Uzodimma extended an open invitation to global investors to become active participants in Imo’s economic rebirth. He reaffirmed that Imo is not merely ready for investment—it is structured, positioned, and determined to become one of Africa’s most dynamic economic destinations.

The Imo Economic Summit continued to attract powerful endorsements as distinguished speakers delivered compelling addresses in support of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s economic blueprint. Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, praised the Governor’s strategic foresight, particularly his bold investment in an independent power project designed to deliver uninterrupted electricity across the State. Describing the initiative as a “real game changer,” Edun asserted that reliable power will unlock industrial growth, enhance productivity, and position Imo as one of Nigeria’s most competitive economic hubs. He further noted that Nigeria’s economy is on a progressive upward trajectory, with expanding fiscal capacity and a target of 7 percent annual growth. To accelerate this national ambition, he encouraged deeper collaboration among local, state, and federal institutions to build a unified pathway to prosperity.

Adding a global perspective, former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon emphasized Africa’s pivotal role in shaping global climate solutions. He highlighted that the continent possesses immense natural advantages capable of transforming global environmental efforts. Ban Ki-moon urged stronger international cooperation, stressing that climate challenges require shared responsibility and the spirit of global citizenship. By advocating environmental stewardship and sustainability, he encouraged African nations—including Imo State—to fully embrace innovation, resilience, and partnerships as key tools for combating climate threats and advancing long-term development.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson also addressed the gathering, expressing admiration for Governor Uzodimma’s forward-looking vision for an economic renaissance. Johnson hailed Nigeria as one of the world’s most promising investment frontiers, fueled by its youthful population, rich natural resources, and expanding digital economy. He described the country as a future global powerhouse and commended Imo State for positioning itself strategically to benefit from Nigeria’s immense potential.

In another resounding endorsement, former President of the Africa Export-Import Bank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, reaffirmed Afreximbank’s commitment to supporting major economic projects in Imo. He highlighted the transformational value of the Orashi River dredging project, which aims to open new maritime trade corridors and strengthen Imo’s logistical capacity. Prof. Oramah also referenced the establishment of a state-of-the-art petrochemical testing facility near the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport—an investment expected to elevate Imo’s role in global petrochemical exports and attract high-value industries.

The President of Dangote Group, Africa’s foremost industrialist Alhaji Aliko Dangote, added his voice by commending President Tinubu for implementing reforms that strengthen national economic stability. Dangote encouraged entrepreneurs to invest courageously in Nigeria, noting that the nation’s vast natural resources and entrepreneurial talent remain unmatched. He assured Governor Uzodimma that the Dangote Group is willing and ready to partner with the Imo State Government in any developmental area deemed appropriate, reinforcing investor confidence in the State’s economic direction.

The summit hall was filled with an impressive array of global and local leaders—including diplomats, multinational executives, development partners, top financiers, and influential business figures such as Dr. ABC Ojiakor, Ogbuagu Ernest Nwapa, Mr. Abdulrasak Isaiah of Walmart, and Mr. Uzoma Dozie of Sparkle Microfinance Bank. Traditional rulers, religious leaders, captains of industry, and top-tier investors also graced the event, validating the summit’s stature as a global investment magnet.

In a strong show of political solidarity, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Yetaweh Nantewah, along with former National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, joined several serving governors and political stakeholders at the summit. Members of the Federal Executive Council, federal and state legislators, and senior officials of the Imo State Executive Council also attended in full strength, reflecting the broad national support behind Imo State’s transformative agenda under Governor Uzodimma’s leadership.
