- Emeka Esogbue

A few well-known Anioma figures were asked how they would like to be remembered. Naturally, some of them felt compelled to respond with their wishes, while others, for various reasons, felt compelled to remain silent or to provide an explanation other than their actual response. PEN MASTER presents you with a list of notable Anioma people and the legacies they would like to be remembered for by the next generation in this motivating compilation. 

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

"I would like to be remembered as a Marxist in Christ who was allergic to social injustice, nepotism, bad leadership in Nigeria and in other Third World countries; acts of bully, intimidation, domination and discrimination of all kinds, corruption and above all, blind followership. I would like to be remembered for being consistent in my fight against all of them."

----Comrade Ephraim Adinlofu, Social Crusader, Public Analyst and Advocate of good governance in Nigeria.

"The opinions of people about me would vary depending on my relationship with them and the  context of interaction. Thus my students might regard me as a stern and strict teacher in the class but as a friendly Teacher outside the classroom. As a Principal, my staff would see me as Amb Dr. Mrs Solanke Mary Ifeanyichukwu, CEO as a workaholic who ensures that tasks are done thoroughly and joyfully without cutting corners. The government, my employer would see me as a humble obedient and industrious Principal."

----Amb Dr. Mrs Solanke Mary, Teacher and Educationist

"I love to be remembered as one with service above self."

----Augustine Afam Ugah, Graphic Designer and Anioma Culture Advocate

"I would like to be remembered by the people I impacted their lives positively by elevating them from being dependent to being independent and they were able to wake up everyday and say, thanks to God for sending me to them. I would leave a legacy of not being an opportunist that oppresses and suppresses people, claiming to be a helper while they cannot afford any tangible benefits from my actions. I am uplifting and building lives."

----Dr. Charles Oseji, Adjunct Professor and former President of Anioma Association USA, Inc Georgia Chapter

"I love to be remembered for what I have done for humanity, working hard to bring succor into the lives of the underprivileged globally. To achieve it, I set off with the establishment of Vebron, a multinational charity NGO with my wife, Dr. Vivian Ajudua. We determinedly touch and uplift lives thereby reducing mortality rates in Ibusa and Anioma in general."

---Chief Dr. Henry Ajudua, USA-based Founder and President of Vebron Carre

"I want to be remembered for my kindness, for showing up in other people's situations when called upon, for giving second chances, for acknowledging my own boundaries and limitations, and for my selfless love. I want to be remembered as a man who had good friends, a nice family and one who extended grace to others with my daily prayers. I don't think I could ask for anything more than that."

----Mr. Ben Onwubuya, Ocean Freight Forwarder from Issele-Uku, Delta State

God is aware and always involved in our human history."
