Prince MacDonald Enwere. Do you know that Ekwensu is not the Devil?  This has been a great misconception in the post-ancient  Igbo era how "Ekwensu" has been heavily misconstrued to be the Devil. Today, the word "Ekwensu" is erroneously seen as a connotation to evil or the Devil. Whenever it is mentioned, it conveys terror.

Iconic Mike Ejeagha taught Igbos contentment, selflessness, true spirit of brotherhood as epitomized in love, being our brothers keepers, etcetera. Some of his popular me

Its agreed that from 1999 when the military handed over power to the civilian rule, there was a political tension as regards who assume Democratic leadership until God in His infinite Mercy brought about this existing and peaceful zoning structure in Enugu state. If also agreed that the zoning structure  provided a fair playing ground to all quarters of the state, then it's absolutely wrong and ungodly to mention that the Enugu state zoning structure is illegal or selfishly adopted. zoning transcends development, hence the clamour for zoning by States yet to adopt zoning formula. Zoning brings in justice and equity therefore , we cannot jettison the idea of zoning at this stage.
