THE THREE MOST NEGLECTED THINGS THAT DISTRACT OUR YOUNGER ONES

 

THE THREE MOST NEGLECTED THINGS THAT DISTRACT OUR YOUNGER ONES 

In the world today, many unreasonable things are happening in the lives of the younger ones without the intervention of parents idealogy. 

The mind is a spiritual thing. When it is not directed and guided within the soul, what the eyes sees controls the mind if not carefully neglected and gives it shape to develop. Minds actually don't easily get attracted to things unwanted unless the ones repeatedly occuring in its presence. 

It is always like that, minds magnets like virus. It is contagious in nature. Many times, it is the negative vibes that magnet easily because of its repetitive ocucurances in the society today especially with the phones in our hands.

Though, positive vibes that motivate the soul is hardly seen in the environment or in most social gatherings except in the area of churches and few motivated seminars many refused to attend. Being aware is better than  being ignorance. 

Below are the most neglected things that distract our younger ones:

1. HOME EDUCATION 

Yes, the kind of knowledge shared at home by most parents and senior brothers. Home suppose to be the beginning of all good especially from parents and elderly ones 'if' they are good people full of positivity. Go to many homes today, parents are misinterpreting each other while senior colleagues are busy misdirecting those children that supposed to be learning from them.

Many things are destroying the education system worldwide especially the ones from home. What about the playing ground? The playing ground should be a place of learning new stories that touches the heart through its constructive happenings. 

When we were young, stories are told generally for future references.  Nowadays, stories are told from another angel of education. Children are taught how to make quick money and start learning from hand held phones without a second thought.

To stop this nonsense, every thing parents and senior brothers are doing in the face of the younger ones should be informative and educative even though they grow to learn the evils themselves.

2. SEX

This is another dangerous character that's destroying our younger ones unnoticed and uncontrolled. Many young girls have dedicated their efforts in teaching sightless boys the evil way of development. It is not easy with young girls as well because guys of wicked heart are there too to mislead.

Sex has occupied many minds destructively, taking the reasonable heart out of shape. Destiny are quenched because of the involvement in the act of sexual intercourse among the younger ones who are suppose to be the future hope of the nation. The unwanted pregnancy and the risk involving in the abortion process are all ways of loosing one's vision in life.

Almost everything youths are practicing today are learned behaviours from either explicit videos or from corruptive minds that dwell among the people of the universe.

To stop this sexual attitude, attentions and exposure of the risk involved in sexual intercourse among youths need to be handled seriously by matured minds of intelligent through constructive ideas of impact.

3. ALCOHOLISM 

This type of attitude has led the bright future guys to stupor and many more to poverty. Alcoholism has been in the blood of men from the beginning of the world. Even the bible did not condemned alcoholism. It is the abusive attitude of alcoholism that makes it seem to be bad.

Nevermind, young ones are seriously learning the evil ways of their parents without minding the effects on their brain. Fermented substances are done in many ways but mind you, you have a destiny and purpose of coming into this world.

Don't be distracted by the things of the world and forget yourself and your greater future ahead of you.

It is through alcoholism that many learn betting. Nothing is bad in this universe except the ones that distract you from your life purposes. What are the things?

Think twince in your doings and make sure you are following the nice friends even if it involves making new friends as brotherhood individuals do. Nevertheless, follow your bliss. Don't be deceived. 

UTURU LAND IS THE CENTRE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR TOMORROW BOTH IN ART WORKS AND EDUCATION

UTURU LAND IS THE CENTRE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR TOMORROW BOTH IN ART WORKS AND EDUCATION 

Truly, Uturu is the centre of knowledge for tomorrow both in art works and education because of its cool environment in accommodating many institutions in various forms and levels.

Come to think of it, many years ago more than 250,000 thousand years, when the white men invaded Uturu at its earlier stage as virgin lands. When the people are still in their timidity, still believes in their craftiness of their fathers and to make use of what they have in general as a common thing, like; rivers and forest revenues.

What do they have in common? Yes, Uturu have vast spaces of lands that can accommodate almost half billion parents and their children including their future investment and buildings just to say in minimum.

In the mean time, they started dashing it to the white men who came to them as helpers and teachers of knowledge of the universe and God. Because of how enlightened our parents are then, they accepted the white through donating their lands. That's how Western education penetrated Uturu land in the beginning of existence in good faith which liberated the children up to date.

I will not venture into the history or the origin on how Uturu land started to be important to the world at large, rather I would be talking about the development Uturians have made in education insofar as knowledge for tomorrow is concerned.

In the beginning of it all, education stopped in standard six. If you are trained up to standard six, you are there to go and be anything as in profession. Those who stopped in the standard six system of education as of then, are seen as our past heroes who tried their best in investing more energy in impacting to their children through adoptation of new educational system from the government of the white. 

In a nutshell, then and then, great Uturians cope very fast in learning and as well as very strong in manual laboring. The white men found out that Uturians are naturally gifted and decided to explore more in the land and lives of Uturu people and that mark the beginning of Marist journey up to today.

As time passes by, in struggle and insight, impactful Uturians who are spiritually alert started allowing more forms of education in its entirety through building of Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools for its children for enlightenment.

Uturu people develop fast in anything they set their eyes and mind to do. Few schools as earlier as before the war in Uturu were managed by Uturu people as head masters and head mistresses. That's how we have come to grow from then on.

To cut all history short, Uturu has two great universities now which are; Abia State University Uturu widely shortened as ABSU. While the second newly created or built is Gregory University Uturu widely known as GUU.

Nevertheless, there are more lecturers, professors, widely known writters, politicians, clergymen, great artists, world marketers, local and international engineers, all are trained in the institutions built in Uturu land for development and support of self growth.

I don't need to tell you the history of ABSU because the university has passed several challenges through cutists activities which are seriously tackled and defeated. The impact ABSU has left in the lives of many people all over the world are incomparable and with different imput in the development of this universe are coming from ABSU past students. My mother told me, to forget my struggles and focus on the gains. That's what ABSU is doing. Facing development in education and enlightenment inspite of the unforseen circumstances ahead of her.

GUU on its own has started where ABSU stopped. Currently, GUU is training much students from all over the world in different field of studies be it, doctors, engineers, agriculturists, pharmacists and many other unmentioned, all in the land of Uturu. Truly, Uturu is the center of knowledge for tomorrow both in art works and education.

What about the secondary schools in Uturu that scattered all over the communities and corners of the land? Not just secondary schools, they are filled with growing youths who are ready to learn from all field of human development and self discovery in all round. Most secondary schools in Uturu are filled up in populations with boys and girls, only one boarding school is for boys only which is Marist Brothers Juniorate as missionary school since 1962 up to date. 

Many other secondary schools in Uturu like; Marist Comprehensive Academy, Uturu; Holy Cross High School, Uturu; Achara Central School; Uturu Central School; Assumption Model and Technical Secondary School;  Dicksons Vocational College; International Secondary School; All Saint Methodist Secondary School; and other unmentioned schools in Uturu serving secondary purposes. Many of them are boys and girls while there are high hopes of having other boarding schools in Uturu.

In Uturu recently, there are few government schools with assorted private owned secondary schools all over the corners. Many of the secondary schools in Uturu are day schools while few are boarding schools.

Inspite of these schools in Uturu, many more Uturians travelled to other states to study and it is not made compulsory where one should attend his or her secondary school. All that matters to parents is getting the useful knowledge for tomorrow challenges and insight.

There are many others as well who do not go to school due to lack of money or a wrong decision made as a result of wrong self perception they stopped either half way or did not even start for the first time. It is a challenge to parents to train their children in the school system of education no matter the poverty level or background. Those who have more money make it a point to train all their children up to the university level.

It is a common adage in Uturu "that nobody knows the womb that carries a king".

It is true, there are assorted nursery,  primary and secondary schools in Uturu land today with different levels of school fees, uniforms, environment and styles of games e performances. It is not made compulsory to finish in one school one started with, even though as it suppose to be mandatory.

There are many who can start schooling but later in life dropped out as a result of not having enough money, connection or a helper in the community.

In Uturu land today, schools are managed like business centers or organizations to many people. Once you have what it takes to open either nursery, primary or secondary schools, who cares, you are free to start it as long as you gain approval by the government. And, why won't one get approval?

The government needs money to run its daily activities and seek help from individuals who can offer it in any forms. 

One big thing about some school management in Uturu is that, security personnels with different forms of guns are available within the choosen premises. Though, it is God who guard and protect His people always.

8 simple important secrets almost every secondary and university students need to know

8 simple important secrets almost every secondary and university students need to know

There are simple knowledge and awareness that students in boarding school needs to be more aware off, because of its high rate in slowing or reducing students down mentally and it hidden influences have causes on the 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 important secrets almost every secondary and university students need to know:

1. GOSSIPS, STORIES AND TALES

Listening to gossips, formed stories, false tales and other video clips that corrupt the mind can greatly endanger students learning in the university/boarding school environments. 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 failed 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 that's the only way out of this coalition that faces the world.

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 will change your life because it is through true faith that one get his desires.

5. LACK OF INSIGHTFUL TEACHERS

Some other students don't improve due to teachers inability to apply skillful teachings. 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. Make that decision today and be great forever.

11 SECRETS OF LEADERSHIP SPIRITS

11 SECRETS OF LEADERSHIP SPIRITS

First and foremost, what is leadership spirits all about?

Leadership spirits is an innate skill or the capacity of insights a leader have either learned or inherited from God on or before the creation of the world. It could be learned anyway. But, a true leader's spirit is to have influence and endurable characters over others attitudes positively.

If you want to become a blogger simply

A leader is said to have the spirit of leading if he has the insight of taking his people to a new dimensions of development and enlightenment towards his people both young and old.

Check this link:

Rev. Dr. Okey Onyemaechi 9 Powers of Leadership Spirit

A leader has the spirit of leading if his actions and belief systems can be able to inspire and motivate others to great heights both in war or in peace of the people.

According to John C. Maxwell who said; "All leaders are followers".

I guess what he meant was that, a true leader never fails to have counselors and enlighten beings around him. It is through his associations that would tell the type of hero he is. He must be ready to face many things both wars and peace of the people his leading.

Below are the eleven leadership spirits detailed or explained by Agu C. Stanley the author of "OHE ANYI UTURU - Early Home of Igboland in a seminar presentation as of 2022.

1. A LEADER IS ONE THAT PRODUCES OTHER LEADERS

The speaker has been into leadership and truly understands that leadership is all about serving other people who may be lower than, in intelligent and or otherwise. He knew that leaders work is to build and produce other leaders that could take over the mantle of societal challenges when they arrive and must be capable of handling social issues in terms of heavy problems or development.

FOUR WAYS TO IDENTIFY YOUR NATURAL GIFTS

2. A TRUE LEADER IS NOT MEASURED BY WHAT HAPPENS IN HIS PRESENCE BUT BY HIS ABSENCE

The speaker knew within him that many leaders are respected in their presence and gossips at their backs in an abusing words. Leaders are people with good spirits dwelling in them and they believed in helping others to grow in all round of life especially their own subjects.

3. EVERYONE HERE IS A SEED BUT YOU ARE PLANTED AT THE BACKYARD

The speaker is referring to the masses who don't know their capabilities of what they can do or have or be within themselves. Yes, we listeners and readers are great spirits who stayed in the village and confusing towns with little or no education of what we can become with our potentials if developed.

But, due to lack of money, education or mentorship and other societal problems associated with life we are unable to accomplish our big goals.

6 SECRETS ON HOW TO BOAST YOUR TALENT

4. WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

The speaker defined leadership as the hardware inside of us. Meaning, that innate abilities inside of you. Your talents and gifts in life came from God who is the first Leader of all other leaders in the world.

The speaker is aware that leadership cannot be carried out by anyhow person rather leadership is that inner call to serve and help, that's the total surrender and committment to lead within your soul.  He must be inspired to see the unforseen wars and rumors that faces his lovely people without discrimination.

5. INSIDE YOU, THERE'S A SPIRIT TO LEAD YOURSELF BUT YOU THINK YOU ARE NOT A LEADER

Yes, many people think that they are not capable of leading themselves to the height they want to attend. Agu C. Stanley is revealing to the masses that they are leaders and great people. They can lead themselves but because of fear of not trusting their instincts, self doubts and leading themselves safely to their destination set to depreciate.

6. YOU ARE BORN TO BECOME A LEADER BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM

We are all leaders but the problem is, we want it now, now. The speaker knows that every being is born to become a leader in his own destiny. But due to our inability to have patience until the leadership spirit in us mature through our dedication of studying our environments, reading signs and working on ourselves, we would rather prefer to want it fast which always fails.

SAVING YOURSELF FROM DOUBTS AND FRUSTRATIONS

7. LEADERSHIP IS NOT OVER PEOPLE

Leadership is not leading other people but knowing who you are. The speaker is trying to tell us that, we are leaders if only we are confidence over our actions and abilities to leader ourselves through the dark roads of life.

8. MY BROTHER CHINEDU, BEING A LEADER IS NOT ALL ABOUT PEOPLE FOLLOWING YOU BUT DISCOVERY YOURSELF AND MAKING AN IMPACT

The speaker is directly talking to the program organizer who may be thinking that being a leader is about having followers. But today, I have grabbed that being a leader is about making an impact to the lives of the people who may be looking for their savior's in human form.

9. WHAT MAKES THE LION THE KING OF THE JUNGLE?

He asked this question because he knew lions are brave animals and fearless in nature. It is their inner strength that gave them the boldness to fight bigger and strong animals in the forest that make them the Kings of the jungle. Develop the habit of kingship through your understanding of people's feelings.

10. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SMART TO BE A GOOD LEADER

The speaker is saying to be a good leader, you need to know who you are and the people you want to lead if only you need to be at the front row. 

It is through discovery yourself as a leader that makes you smart. Leaders are self disciplined and self controlled. They are insightful and endurable, consistent and understandable by inheritance.

11. NOBODY IS BORN USELESS

Nobody is born a follower. We all are born great leaders. This simply means, we all have equal rights to be either a leader or a follower. A good leader is one who is ready to learn and relearn either through the hard way or the easy way.

According to John C. Maxwell, the author of 360 degree leaders who said; " All leaders are followers". Leaders are followers because no great leader can succeed in life without having great advicers and followers.

FOUR THINGS LEADERS SHOULD FEAR TO DO

FOUR THINGS LEADERS SHOULD FEAR TO DO 

According to John C. Maxwell in his book tilted 'The 360 degree Leader said:

"The 360 degree leaders take the time and effort to earn influence with their followers just as they do with those over whom they have no authority".

The four things young leaders of today don't need to do in order to be leaders of influence and characters are listed below:

1. PRIDE

With no doubt, most young leaders in different leadership positions today do one thing in common - showing pride within themselves which shows up in many ways; like displaying body languages and words that hurts others especially their trusted followers unnecessarily. 

So, to be a young leader rightly or wrongly chosen by the public know that you are loved by many other people unknown to you. Try then to show love and mercy to many others too who are unknown to you but are fully in support of your leadership journey.

2. DISRESPECTFUL

Young leaders in our various communities and countries today are fresh and wise. Because you are young does not give you the advantage to disrespect your elders whom you may think are not standard to your views. Disrespectful pays no one any good. You are encharge  does not warranty you for such unethical behavior before your followers.

Nevertheless, learn how to bend and be flexible to other people's opinions and be free to do good works which are naturally inbuilt by God in us as leaders.

3. LACK OF COMMUNICATION

Most young leaders failed to accomplish their dreams and visions in their leadership career due to their lack of communicating skills with others who should be helpful and insightful near them but, due to lack of communication skills that has been what led to their down fall unexpectedly.

If you believe you are a good leader, you must strive to learn and build on human characters and temperament. If you lack communication, you lack network. 

Leaders don't need to lack in any area of human endeavors, that's why they need to be growing all the time. Leaders should be willing to learn without season and time.

4. DISPLAYING WARLIKE CHARACTERS

Because you have power does not mean you are a warrior. You are young and have public power is good enough to turn many lives into gold if power is used wisely on your side.

Why don't you explore your mind and surprise humanity with your temporary acquired skills in leadership field? 

Displaying strength in creativity is the most WARLIKE field young leaders need to fix themselves in.

Young leaders should be peaceful to their followers whether known or unknown so that he can be able to raise and save bundles of thousands of lives through the leafer. Truly, young leaders who are born to save lives are scarce to get.

 Why don't you be one?

Always remember; be the change you want to see in the world.

3 THINGS IRRELEVANT PEOPLE HATE

 

 3 THINGS IRRELEVANT PEOPLE HATE

This article is for you to know exactly the things irrelevant people reject and that's exactly what's makes them irrelevant for the first time.

There are people who are ever ready to learn new knowledge at any time. 

There are also people who aren't  willing to learn new things either to relearn. 

It is important to form the habit of learning new skills at any age. 

Here are the three things irrelevant hate:

1. ADVICE

People who are not important hate advice. They hate to be advised. They reject corrections. These people don't appreciate good words directed to them

People who are not doing well, would want others to be like them. That the first reason they hate advice badly. 

Yes, because hearing advice would change their hearts and minds and when they change they would likely start to do good things which naturally  they don't want to do good works. 

Irrelevant people know they are relevant but they have decided to be unimportant to their world. Don't doubt it.

They are the kind of people who know what is good for themselves and for others but they won't do it. 

They like seeing people suffer and complaining that the world is too hard to survive in. That's what's makes them irrelevant for the first place. 

Run from such people for they are contagious in nature and words.

2. MOTIVATION

Irrelevant people hate motivations because they knew it too well that motivations could make them change and be better persons in the world.

They hate it because they don't want to be motivated by others who are even willing to help them grow. Even when you try to wake them up spiritually.

They would fail to know that "iron sharpeneth iron."

The problem with irrelevant people is that, they hate those people who are running the Town forward.

They forbid the company of all the good leaders and preachers who would have changed their mindsets for a big change to happen. 

Bringing changing massages into the universe hurts their ears. 

These people tends to gossip and share false stories about an action that aimed them either directly or indirectly.

The big question is, why is irrelevant people motivating others to be irrelevant?

The answer may be different based on individual level of understanding. You are your own motivator. Your talents and gifts from God is untouchable. Be careful who you follow and listen to. Mind what you read online and offline.

3. ORDERLINESS

The last but not the least is ORDERLINESS. Irrelevant people hate orders and rules that governs the principle of this universe.

What many of them don't know is, they don't know that Earth has principle to live in it. Failure to adhere to earth orders, you are doomed to bleed heavy in the times of challenges.

These people like to be called the author of confusions. They knew what to do, how to do a thing, and how to make the most useful of anything but, they won't do it. They would prefer the opposite. They would encourage corruption in the society.

 Why?

Because they have mindsets full of  wickedness and laziness.

Because of frustration and refusal of learning new skills, knowledge, improving themselves and accepting new positivity as the best way of moving forward in this world.  

Take courage. Be courageous. Be still and know YOU are God. We are gods! Trust yourself. You can be a super human.

GREAT NAMES OF ACHARA ANCIENT KINGDOM

GREAT NAMES OF ACHARA ANCIENT KINGDOM



"A wise leader must learn how to ask questions and seek wisdom from the elders." - Batholomew Obienyi

Achara is the first son of Uturu in the ancient days and in the present history.

Our elders let us know the great names of Achara people from the olden days of our forefathers.

The three names means alot only but to the ears that have understanding.

My fellow Achara people I greet you all. I want to say something but I would want to put it in writing not because I can write nor because I believe in this saying " the pen is mightier than the sword" . No, but I want to write just to paint my view on what I have seen and witnessed and heard from the elders of our great ancient kingdom of Achara.

My writing may not really mean anything to you but I think to another it may mean the world. 

In history, as it is written that Achara is a name of a person in a rich organized family called Uturu. Uturu, according to history were once a great warriors' son named Ena. And no warrior ever liveth without being a winner.

To be at the first row is always a challenge. There's always a unfinished fight for warrior's sons and daughters.

To become the first child in a family is like to become the only child who always faces danger and work hard for his survival.

And if you are the only child, two great things faces you; to fight to live not to live to fight and to endure the scares and wounds given to you by others who claim not to be your enemies.

One of the elders said this in Igbo dialect:

"Achara Bu Ise Nngkpagidere Nnti"

Right from the beginning of time, Achara has been a strong spirit living in a blessed land. We have been to the people a tree of wisdom others hunger to have. To whom we abandoned, we have deeply seen what is beneath the ground.

Another elder stood up and said;

"Achara Bu Ala Mgbawara Abou Rachikwe".

It is after several discussion that one of the elders made the statement above. He said this in order to tell us how strong hearted the olden days Achara people were.

Meaning, in the olden days, Achara people don't tolerate nonsense, in the olden days, we have been the heir, in the olden days, we have been the magicians, in the olden days, we have been the wise, in the olden days, we have been the home of refuge for other people, in the olden days, we do what others fear to do, and  in the olden days, we are hard to be defeated. 

The elders try to encourage the young ones at heart to be strong and trust in God and obey the traditional laws and rules in doing things.

They confirmed that;

"Achara Bu Enya Aturu Nnlegidere Agu Ya Nwo".

One of the elders said, truly, if we become a lion in this case, we can lose but let us turn to whom we are truly. We are Enya Aturu. 

We are the "Lamb Eye" in the eyes of the people.  We are the gods to our friends. Who are the friends of Achara? The other fowls. We have remained silent even though we are not afraid of war or communal battle. 

The elders have advised us not to beg again rather to arm ourselves with rules and laws of the land knowing fully well it's their woo who are faulty in abundance.

Another thing that we must not forget is: 

"Akpata Atufo Ejiweye Abu Oghariaya Mana, Akpata Atufo Na Emenu Ubaam"

The words of the elders cannot be taken for granted.

There's a reason those statements were made.

Among the elders, there's nothing hidden and nothing common in their presence. They said exactly how it started and why it is happening. Yes, to be the first is always a challenge. You must and should give what you can afford to lose. In the other way round, you must be careful in what you say. 

Everything has dual meaning in the eyes of the wise elders. Your ability to understand, to choose the right one, that where the power of being a super human start.

Here is a brief history of how Uturu had come to be. Actually, Uturu has many versions of existence due to perceptions and experiences by many individuals who witnessed the beginning of the great king named Enamgbedu with many servants.

        THE BEGINNING OF UTURU 

Ena, the founder of Uturu clan with his group settled at a place called Ekeukwu at a time nobody had ever inhabited there.

Enamgbedu, the father of Uturu, a great warrior and hunter, had other sons apart from Uturu,his first son. The other sons were 

Lolo- the present day Umulolo

Ochi- the present day Osuochi

Ama- the present day Eluama in Isuikwuato.

The Sons of Ena of all lived with him at Ekeukwu but after some times, three of his sons set off to live on their own and travelled afar and settled at their present location where they lived today, leaving their most elder brother - Uturu to take care of their aged father at Ekeukwu.

They often come back for a reunion from time to time at the instance of their aged father. They could come back from their different abode for his blessings and wise counsel. At certain time of the year, Ena other children would come down to Uturu to meet at Ekeukwu to pay homage to their ancestral home and perform the traditional rites  before  the great shrine( ERIMAFOR). On such occasions, they used to bring with them, among other things, the placenta of their children born during the year and present same before the ERIMAFOR - a sort of Census taking.

HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF IGBOLAND( UTURU IN PARTICULAR )

A man called Ena who was believed to be a farmer, hunter and a warrior  in search of a better settlement  came into the present Uturu in company of his great family and relatives.  He is believed to have sojourned from present day cross river state;many believed that he particularly migrated from Ogoja.

They first settled at the present Ekeukwu because of the serenity cos of the shades from the trees.

Ena has many wives but the first wife by name Mgbedi was most significant.  She was the person that told the household not to kill Azu ihuku on the premise that the noise from the fishes keep them company as though they have neighbours( no spirituality of any sort attached to it)

The sons of Ena are 

IMOBI

UGWU

OCHI

There are many factors that can possibly hinder a leader's visions. These factors could be inform of distractions to the mind from unexpected areas. Like; watching videos  that are not relevant for the insight, associating with the wrong peers or group of people, reading unmotivated books and not been able to follow personal decisions to the end and so on. Upon that, there are other factors that can quench a vision from manifesting. Vision is a pursued insight from within.  Moreover, anything that can make one not to reach out expectations is a hindrance.

 

There are ten factors that tends to stop visionary leaders visions from developing to the highest height: 

1. Unseriousness

People who fail to accomplish their goals in life are due to lack of believe in their chosen career. They are not serious at all. The moment we start to believe ourselves, the better our goals are achieved without stress.

2. Associating with the Unlike Minds 

This is the giant killer of every leader's visions in life. The association should be with the people who share the same views in life. Minds that's run its activities on negativity cannot be compared nor be associated with the positive minds that's believes in building and reshaping of its size in knowledge and growth.

3. Self Doubt and Fear

Doubt and fear are the causes of all failures in life. Self doubts can be overcomed with self-discipline. Both fear and doubt can be conquered by having a strong sense of personal decisions and trusting inward instincts.

4. Lack of Trials

Without any doubt, lack of trials destroys one’s purpose and visions in life. It could be defeated by reading self motivating books periodically and keep on trying new things without being afraid of committing errors.

5. Family Background

The weapon to fight this problem is by associating with like minds. Because it is your brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors that would first discourages one of his true powers.

6. Educational System 

The kind of education one receives while growing up contributed alot in mass failures of people not achieving their aims before the end of time. This can be challenged through expansion of one’s knowledge and insight through books, attending motivated seminars and having mentors and role models.

7. Attire or Presentation of Self

This is silent destroyer. Due to lack of  awareness of this factor, it has caused many to fail without knowing the root of their failure. It can be gained through building a high strong of self image. 

8. Social Media

Here is a place you see people destroying other people's goals consciously or unconsciously. The remedy is to be present in mind and in the moment and remember to ask the question, “How is this discussion helping me in building and achieving my purposes in life? How can I benefit from social platforms? 

9. Looking For Help

Many people will fail to go on in life because there is no help in their chosen careers. The only help you need to succeed is to learn what is necessary for you to learn. If you keep on waiting for assistance and money from unknown sources, sorry you will not get it and because of that, failure begot the strength in the mind. Keep pushing inspite of what happening.

10. Environmental Influences 

Environment is another battle field that destroys a person’s vision. It can be overlooked by focusing only on the task at hand. Note, whether you are in the rural or urban areas, what you do at the present moment, should not  distort your dreams and aspirations in living your life.
