The Irony Of The Happenings At Home, Ekoli Edda

By: Eze Sampson

For sometime now the community Ekoli has really made the dailies though we are meant to see and believe it in a notorious way, among the the communities especially in Edda, but the truth is that "it is the negligence of the untimely repair that makes rebuilding necessary" when we say leadership people think or believe until they become Governors, LG Chairs, Assembly members before they think about making things happen within our home and our communities. Edda, Ekoli to be precise like every other community has it's peculiarities as well as her challenges but we all have roles to play in curtailing these challenges.

Fathers have lost their headship to their wives, the well to do are busy building their empires. Our home Edda, has no brain(in form body or organizations) as to think and proffer solution to issues even before the arise except what comes from the government. That is why a community in Edda will be having a dispute with another no organisations or persons from other parts of Edda will say any thing either to condemn or in support.

The less privileges are human beings like every other person, they want good life, they want to go to school, attention and groove like every other person but they can't get it as expected but they must get something and what is that?

Every thing they children of the well to do get, the less privileged have theirs in their own way. They both think about the future but differently. But because you can't give what you don't have. When they are faced with the same challenge they reaction is opposite and my good people of Edda this will continue until the rich, the powerful, influential and the royalty see home beyond mansions.

Our young girls are constantly getting impregnated by these least educated and informed persons and the rich may feel less concerned, yes because their daughters are safe they may think but these poor girls and their mates reside around the mansions of the rich,now are the safe? please call home.

At the mention of that name, EDDA the good, the bad and the ugly from and within our home Edda are all inclusive without exception. We all are guilty as charged, including us.
