FIFTY-THREE HAPPY CHEERS TO A QUINTESSENTIAL DEPUTY GOVERNOR
The last time I checked, the Imo State Deputy
Governor Prince Eze Madumere, MFR who I often refer to as quintessential, had
graciously clocked fifty-three (53). The new age metamorphosed precisely on
Tuesday 4th July 2017 to the best of my knowledge.
This
piece is informed by the compelling need for Imolites both home and in the
Diaspora, and of course the global community, to realize the reason the said
celebrant deserves to be celebrated by all and sundry irrespective of our
religious, social and political divides. The gospel truth remains that Comrade
Fred Nwaozor is not good in tendering eulogies, but usually loves to celebrate
anyone whatever who truly worth celebrating.
Then if the facts must be appraised, I
ought to wholeheartedly notify us that Prince Madumere obviously merits
thunderous accolades at such occasion like this. Why? Because at 53, he had
succeeded in accomplishing what millions of his contemporaries could not
accomplished; at 53, he has proven to millions of his fans out there that he is
indeed a man you can entrust with formidable treasures; at 53, he has showcased
to the world that he is a leader with a difference; above all, prior to the new
age, he has already written his name in gold. Let’s ride on!
Brethren, space and time may not be enough to
extensively bring to our notice why my person actually thought it wise to
celebrate the Imo number-two citizen. Notwithstanding, I would try as much as I
could towards doing the needful as long as this analysis lasts. The least I
would think of, or attempt to indulge in, is to be economical with facts,
knowing fully well that this column is conspicuously synonymous with such
recipe (facts).
To
start with, Prince Ezeakonobi Madumere is a good supporter. He remains one of
the prime reasons the ongoing Rescue Mission Government led by Owelle Rochas
Okorocha is flourishing by the day amidst tremendous challenges. It suffices to
assert that he is a good back-up. Having him behind you, or by your side, is
enough reason for you to be courageous, dogged, relentless and among all,
passionate in whatever you strongly believe in. Little wonder the governor
(Owelle) continues to thrive relentlessly.
Prince Madumere is a silent achiever.
He does not blow his own trumpet; rather, he allows others to do it for him. I
want us to note that this great man has done what Napoleon could not do within
his short reign thus far as the Deputy Governor of the Eastern Heartland, but majority
of the general public is yet to acknowledge this fact because the achiever in
question does not make noise; he doesn’t believe in noisemaking. It pays to
strive in silence and allows your achievements to hit the drum.
The
celebrant is a core humanitarian. He is a humanist of repute; a man who truly
believes that everyone, regardless of his/her social background or status,
deserves to be happy. His membership in the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS)
is not a mistake because that is where he truly belongs. I’m a core Red
Crosser; while in the university (FUTO) during my first degree, I became the
Commandant of the aforesaid humanitarian organization. Needless to state that
I’m speaking from experience.
Prince Madumere is synonymous with good luck.
Whatever he is into, flourishes freely. I have taken my precious time to study
his numerous associations with different events cum projects; and none ended up
in shambles. For instance, each time he finds time to grace any football match
played by the Heartland FC, the team would emerge victorious at the end of the
day. If you are still in doubt, you can do well and crosscheck your history
book for onward details.
The celebrant is no doubt a humble, accessible
and easy-going man. He is s gentleman everybody wishes to behold. Have you seen
him walk? If your answer is No, then I urge you to take time to study his
footsteps. Have you watched him speak? If your answer is equally No, then you
as well need to start following his speeches. I put it up to you that a good
leader is known by his words, or how he speaks. Have you observed him whenever
he attends events? He knows how best to reach out to every attendee in any
event. Please, try and go closer to his person with a view to ascertaining
these facts. If you do, you would be left with no other choice than to concur
with me that the Deputy Governor is undoubtedly humility personified.
I can’t conclude this piece without letting us
know that Prince Eze Madumere is a cheerful person. I have never seen him
frowning or appear in a painful mood. If he has ever appeared in a soured mood,
that should be in ‘the other room’. You know women, sometimes, could make a
happy man frown when his appetite is high for that delicacy that’s usually
served in ‘the other room’? Moreover, he could also be in a painful mood while
in burial ceremonies. But the fact is, under normal circumstances, the
celebrant invariably grins.
Cheerfulness has a unique way of sending
a message to the people around you; it gives them a sense of belonging; it
makes them believe more in you; it shows them that you are a man/leader in whom
they are well-pleased. Believe it or not, cheerfulness can create a way where
there is none. In other words, such idiosyncrasy ought to be one of the basic
features of a leader; hence, it should be invariably bore by anyone who calls
him/herself a leader.
Ladies and gentlemen, please permit
me to drop my pen at this juncture. But before I do that, I wish to seize this
opportunity to enjoin Imolites and beyond to join me in celebrating this Deputy
Governor with a clear difference, though he didn’t invite me to his birthday
party. He may not be perfect but he is sure near to it, thus deserves our
collective accolades. Think about it!
Comrade FDN Nwaozor
Executive Director, Docfred Resource Clinic - Owerri
