IF YOU KNOW THESE 8 THINGS IN UTURU YOU WILL BE RICH IN TIME TO COME

 




IF YOU KNOW THESE 8 THINGS IN UTURU YOU WILL BE RICH IN TIME TO COME




FALL BACK TO YOUR ORIGINS UTURIANS!


COULD THESE 8 THINGS BE THE LIFE OF UTURIANS?



1. WATER AND STREAMS

In this modern age, there are things Uturians should put into considerations and work it out as money making. One is making use of our water or flowing streams that pass almost to every village in Uturu as a developing town. Example is Idi, which pass across Amaidi and from Ngodo to Ogwahia village. And it's fountain they say is Ngodo. Idi dries up during dry season and overflows with water between April and May either beginning or ending.

The fishes inside the waters are edible by all and believe me, there are real big fishes and many of them go untouched during rainy season. Think of other villages in Uturu they all have medium streams that you can fish from.

Fishing in Uturu, if you put it into consideration and expansion of great minds can be a very big source of making money especially for the youths. Fishes are used in many occasions and they can be used in our food preparation at home. Remember, not everyone can fish because many are afraid of water. What is not risky in this world today? Go into fishing today and help reduce some problems at home.


2. STONES DEAL AND ITS  ASSORTED

Another source of making money in Uturu is stone mining and other hidden natural resources like gold and silver that hide in stones. Uturians have the opportunity to involve themselves in stone dealings which can either be local stones or gravels and or chipings mostly found at Ugwuele and other parts of the town.

Nevertheless, stone business is considered to be for the strong in heart only but who can be involved. Good health and sound mind is needed in this type of occupation. Wisdom according to the Bible is the principal thing. So, we need wisdom and knowledge and understanding to reap all the good things our Lord has used to bless Uturians. 

Sometimes it is greedy that set us back from the natural hustling which can make us rich now and forever. Right from the origin, our forefathers are strong fighters and warriors of the olden days. Why are we not like our fathers these days? Many like stone business but are afraid of sudden death.


3. FARM PRODUCE

Uturians are truly blessed and hard working people. Talk of farm produces in Uturu farming system. It has been a wonderful source of living inherited from our forefathers. We have lands that many other villages around the globe hunger to have. They feel like to push us out and possess the land. Go for research and vision into the future if you doubt it. 

There are lots of food and Uturu person can produce and eat for a long time. Examples are; yam, cassava, cashew, palm oil, tomatoes, corn, coconut, ground nut and lot more. You can survive even if there's no money in circulation.

Young Uturians can use it as an opportunity to Provide many foods both for themselves and for others. If you are serious in farming using the land, you can be an international food exporter. Why is it that only small percentage of the people are using the land for farming? Why is it that many are complaining of high cost of food in Uturu? Because we don't know the value of lands we have. If you know brothers, you will know that you have wings to fly higher using what you have.


4. CONSTRUCTION AND STYLES

Uturians are iron melters and wood carvers. They are constructors. They can use their initiatives to produce working hoes big and small, knives big and small, niddles, squirrels trap, fighting weapons  and other unmentioned things through burning and heating melted irons. These are great ideas that can generate huge amount of money for Uturians if developed and put into consideration by our youths. 

The village that normally does this is the Mbaugwu people who inherited it from their forefathers who are more constructive and full of creativity in everything they do. During danger days, it is them that the entire villages depends on for the production of weapons and strategic style of handling the weapons. 

Why did the young ones refuse to learn this great idea of construction using melted irons? Why is the craft of the old fathers been abandoned insteady of refining and polishing the work of our fathers. What does it mean to lose the process of our survival? We should be reconstructing and relearning the great talents of our death fathers. Our youths should wake up and not allow low level of awareness to stop us from the perspective of growth and insight of the future. The future is more important. Reminding challenges is a set back, just go into the field and grow with experience.


5. LOCAL CRAFT MAKING

This too is a source of income that has lasted for decades. Our mothers used it in solving lots of their problems. This is the first constructive work Uturu women involve themselves into. Where did they learn the skill from? Who taught them how to place the mats? Maybe, the gods of the land are not sleeping! Through mat making, many graduates have been trained. Through mat making, food have been placed on the tables of many homes. Through mat making, bills are being paid. Through mats making, many unwanted pregnancy have been prevented. And lots more.

Many hate mats making because of its time consuming factor in preparing it. Still, people who refuse to make mat use mats the more.  One rejected problem with mat is it's body filled with torns. But we have known for centuries that "Ego No Na Ogwu". 

Our young girls have rejected what put food on their table s for years at least after the war.  Many other girls preffer prostution, lesbianism practice and other quick money making process the insteady of rebranding mat making in a new style. You can't run away from your origin. You can't change your mother's identity because it's in your gene. 

It has been said; "follow the footsteps of your father's and mothers" this has been the best advice from generation to generation. The thing we lack in the footsteps of our parents is refinement, appreciation, endurance and market research connection. Can't we export mats? You need to know this, you can't run away from the blessings of your gods and their curses.


6. HUNTING

Uturians are also fond of hunting with train dogs both male or female, gun hunt, setting traps around farm lands and setting bushes on 🔥 fire. It has been fun for young guys who are motivated to work the old part of their fathers in earning a living and they are making lots of money doing it. Thank God we still have interested hunters who are inspired to take actions for humanity advancement.


7. MARKETING

There are market days in Uturu land where you can buy or sell farm produce,catched fishes, killed animals, constructed hoes or knives, prepared mats and other livestock needed for the nourishment of the body. Uturu has many village markets that one can go and get what he or she wants. It is true that many market days have closed in order to have a concrete functioning standard market.

Why do we allow our original self image to die? Why do we stand still and pay deaf ears to our ancestors cries? Why are we abondoning our old talents to want? I have seen in the development plan of the world spiritually, our gods are bringing world market to us Uturians. What can we sell? It is our products and origin that we are going to sell.  Untill you believe this; " It is through your handwork, sweat, endurance and thinking beyond ordinary individuals that your riches will come".


8. EDUCATION

Uturians are making waves in education nawadays. In the beginning of Ena the founder of this land Uturu, he has shown skills of his strength and order of arrangements through his abilities to face many challenges from the enemies. If  Ena and his supporters are ignorance in one area of his life, we wouldn't have inherited this land of heritage in the first place. 

It is wisdom and foresight that gave Ena his powers of being a warrior. It is education or knowledge from the gods that empowers the crafty men of the world. It is his insight that made him to reason even with the spirit of the waters and the spirit of the giant trees in his dwelling place. What can we do to retain the education of our forefathers? Where can we go to retrieve the wisdom of the old?

Truly, education of our forefathers have been brought back to us in modern and magical way that many of us would never understand it. It's now left for us to modernize everything our forefathers have taught us to be. We should fall back to our origins.

8 SECRETS THAT AFFECT BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS





8 SECRETS THAT AFFECT BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS


There are simple knowledge or awareness that students in boarding school need to be aware of, because of its high rate in slowing students down and it hidden influences it causes on students minds especially those in boarding school. Though, some day students who with environmental challenges in everyday life faces the same setbacks in their studies. Even though University students are not left out.  

Here are the 8 simple secrets almost every students need to know:

1. GOSSIPS, STORIES AND TALES

Listening to gossips, formed stories, false tales and other video clips that corrupt can greatly endanger students learning in boarding school environment. Many students have friends in schools who are story tellers and fake history makers. Most stories told, are not healthy to the minds of the little children only but to occupy their learning abilities.

Stories and eye contacts took most of the students time, and distracts them throughout the night, even in some cases these tales by older students dorminate many parts of the brain and you know that the brain works like a memory card. Many at times it's hard to delete something bad in the brain file.


A free memory card can record and store up information both relevant and irrelevant for a very long time. What you put to your memory whether good or bad would come to stay and remember, it occupies space. If as a student you fail to monitor what comes into the memory, it magnet more unmotivated stories which set most children back in their academics endeavour in life. Start in time in controlling what comes inside your brain as a student.


2. INNER ENVIRONMENTAL GAMES

Boarding school students are exposed rapidly in learning the negatives especially if mixed with girls or boys. Hostel bullying, seniority respect and all other social vices learned at home are poured out to the innocent students while in hostel playing ground. 

There are also few students who learn wisely and have their lives changed drastically only by disassciating themselves from the lazy ones that will be the only time they would attain to great height in such a colide  schooling environment.

 

3. CORRUPTED MINDS FROM HOMES

There are people whose homes are morally damaged. Some parents do allow their children to watch and read corrupted movies, books and listen to songs that explicited taking it as freedom to enjoy their parents sweat. 

Children should not  be exposed to corrupted things from homes, let them learn it from outside home and when they display it at homes, then parents should shape it with wisdom and understand. 


4. ASSOCIATING WITH WRONG CLASSMATES

When clever students argue with the unethical students, set backs in learning increased. Students should associate with their fellow students who wants to improve in their education and be ready to learn a new skill with  insightful minds through his/her classmates. Go to educative gathering and make some input. This too well change your life.


5. LACK OF INSIGHTFUL TEACHERS

Some other students don't improve due to teachers inability to apply skillful teaching. Teachers should be creative and flexible in using many tactics in building and training of students both  day students and those in boarding schools.

 

6. OUTSIDE MUSIC SOUNDS

Many students have quick  learning abilities that records songs and videos like memory cards. Learning how to handle what goes to the ear and what the eyes sees is a very big strategy in developing  yourself and helping your parents and school management as a sharp student because your growth is beneficial to the whole world.


7. INDECISION OF CAREER CHOICE

Some boarding school students have made wrong decisions on career choices due to improper friends and advices while in school. Students should be able to make wise choices on areas relating to their natural abilities, callings or talents from God which is from within. 

Not listening or following their parents directions because the decision  would be long  term and may be difficult to change both in spirit or on the face of the physique in time to come.


8. HUNGER, BULLYING AND MALTREATMENT BY OTHERS

Hunger, bullying and maltreatment can stop a willing , ready to learn students, School management, wicked teachers in class, inability of parents to provide learning materials for the child or a total distraction or weakness from other students. 

Every student has the ability to change and reach out for greatness. It is the decision from within to be a unique person that gave many successful individuals the moral to fly higher like an eagle in the face of the universe that matters. Make that decision today and be great forever.
