“Eziaha. Ka Ego’ in Igbo parlance literarily means that good name is much better and honoured than the money and riches of this world.Every one in this contemporary nigerian society knows that it is not easy to resist the urge for money as against other factors that constitutes to human existence .The Love for money and material things has robbed a lot of Nigerian eminent personalities of their dignity and reputation they have built over the years ,Moreover.they don’t care even though their name and personality is at stake since they believe that money answereth all things

The quest for stupendous wealth among the political class has always led to mistrust ,underrepresentation and suspicion between leaders and their subjects .Most politicians especially of Igbo extraction if voted in to office either as local government chairman,house of assembly member,federal house of representatives or senate usually sees it as a big oppotunity that comes ones in a life’s time to acquire wealth for themselves and their generation yet unborn.many of them will simply tell you that they need to recoup the money they spent during electioneering campaign .Some go as far as diverting parliatives and other political dividends that should have been used to better the life of their impoverished followers .They rather share it to their relatives and families of their political associates and chronies ,Even those that assited them in one way or the other to achieve the mandate are being sidelined and not to be remembered again.A situation that amounts to throwing a child away with a bathe water.

If you move around the five states that gave birth to Igbo nation that comprises of Imo, Abia ,Enugu,Anambra and Ebonyi.It is very common to hear names and titles like “Omereoha’,”Onwanetirioha’,”Omenkeahuruanya’,,””Mmiri nezoro oha’ and all that,these politicians wears this titles like medals and robes.They answer this names to deceive the poor electorates and pretends as if they have the interest of the people at heart.But in contrary the opposite is mearnt,A good number of this make believe politicians do not live up to expectation so as to justify the title bestowed on them,What a shame,they forgot that there is a deep spiritual connection between a man and the name he answers.Even a nickname has a spiritual bond with the person that bears it,

However. In all this melee.There is only one man among many who simply believes that a man should live his life according to the dictate of his name and title,He is no other person but the man representing the good people of Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala at the federal house of representative ,Rt Hon Attorney Dr Mathew Nwogu.Rt Hon Nwogu is Eziaha Ka Ego’ personafied ,He has demonstrated the character of a person who puts the interest of his people first above monetary and material gains,He is one man that refused to be bought over with money but rather chooses to consolidate with the party that gave him mandate to serve his constituents.He remained steadfast with labour party when other of his colleagues are busy hibernating from one party to another.

His numerous achievements so far in Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala clearly shows that he has given to the people what is due to them”Rt Hon Nwogu azutala ihe aturu ya na ahia’.There to no electoral ward from the two local governments that has not benefitted from his political dividend .His human oriented projects are too numerous to mention,His rural road revolution across communities in Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala is second to none.Rt Hon Nwogu has declared state of emergency to a good number of primary and post primary institutions in Aboh and Ngor okpala and total renovation is ongoing in some of this schools including health centers .The completion of three class room blocks at umuhu Enyiogugu ready for commissioning and the renovation going on at logara high school is a case study ,Coutesy of our man of the moment, What about empowerment programs .A large number of women mostly widows and youths has benefitted from his empowerment scheme,He has from time to time donated millions of bags of grains including rice,beans,indomie, spaghetti and other condiments to his federal constituency so as to cushion the effect of the global food shortage ,and this items are shared to every body present devoid of segregation.He has ensured the electrification of some communities that has been in darkness for many years now .Some communities in the two local government are now enjoying solar street light courtesy of our man of the moment.Job and scholarship opportunities has been procured to teeming graduates and students of Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala extraction .Rt Hon Attorney Nwogu has almost completed all the constituency projects under his watch including those he inherited from his predecessors .umuaga ngwuru hall is a case study.

Above all ,He has moved a lot of intervention motions that has benefitted his federal constituency.He did not waste time to intervene on the issue of over billing by EEDC as was petitioned by Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala respectively ,He has moved a motion against incessant kllling ,Abductions and kidnapping of innocent citizens along imo cargo airport owerri Aba road and those motion was immediately seconded by colleagues because of its urgent public importance.plans are on top gear to beef up security around the area.He has also moved a motion for the need to compensate landlords of imo airport host communities .What about the farmers.Farmers numbering upto five hundred from Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala has benefited immensely from Hon Nwogus largesse .Bags of fertilizers were shared freely to all the farmers in the area and this was done to increase food production in the two local government and neighbouring commnities.What more do we expect from a man with such capacity other than to give him full support .You can see that Rt Hon Nwogu has achieved a lot within a short period of time.And his achievements so far is just a tip of an iceberg.Indeed his achievements in just a year and few months has surpassed those that has represented Aboh Mbaise and Ngor okpala for eight and twelve years respectively.His second term bid is not negotiable and a done deal.Ride on our great leader.
