Colleagues, when I got a personal invitation from the Chairman SJCOBA , the
Erudite Eng. Okuni for the Oscars and more so when he graciously offered me a
special guest status, I felt humbled and appreciative. I even suggested to get
time to be in Arua for St Josephs day on the 21/03/2009. God willing I will be
there. The point is probably non of our followers and younger ones in all the
West Nile schools imagine that some of us went through the same institutions as
they are now in. Over the weekend I wanted Eng. Obetia to explain to me the
Chemical formula of mixing paraffin with diesel in a hurricane lamp. Eng. what
is such a mixture referred to. Well this is what we used during our times. I
remember we had no Electricity, bore holes e.t..c in Mvara but we did produce
the Adibo's, Acidri's Ejiku's, Ayibo's, Dr. Richard, Dr. Aritua, Alia
Valary's, Eng.Ezati's, Jimmy Adriko's, Stevo's, several medical doctors,
educationists, the Alaka's e.t.c.
Probably the current Ombaci students may not even know that the Andema's,
butagira's Draecabo's, Andua Drani's ,Okuni's , Obetia's, Ezaga's, Ngaka's,
Idoru's, Matenga's, Eyoki's, Ori's and Azabo's and other notable Ob's were at
one time like them. When Azabo talks of self belief, I believe this should be
one of the first prescriptions we should administer on these students. Let them
know that we were just like them and the difference is that we believed as
Obama did that yes we could and they should get the same mentality. Hope all
SJOBA members and well-wishers should turn up en mass. This is How SMACK o.B's
Psyche up the students. next time a list of who is who amongst all Ob's and
og's should be compiled and sent to these schools to Psyche these souls up.
