A communal conflict in Nkporo, Ohaofia local government in Abia state between the Etitiama and Amurie people turned violent, resulting into destruction of homes.

Nkporo is a town in Abia State, in southeastern Nigeria, traditionally an Igbo speaking region. And it is in Ohafia Local Government Area.
A home to the deputy governor of Abia state.

It was a blessing seeing the beautiful day, and being alive and healthy is one great privilage to be thankful for. I made sure i returned thanks to the source that creates life before indulging in any activity.

After our morning worship, i decided to login into my facebook account. behold, the first picture to appear on my screen was the one above, posted by my cousin sister. At first, i just scrow pass it without taking a second look. After some mintues, my dad's phone began to ring, almost 7 times and no one attended to it since my dad left his phone at home to farm.
Fast forward to 7pm as the whole story unfold.

What actually cause the fracture?

Rumour has it that Agbala or Ebgela cult ( A powerful custom and tradition inherited from our forefathers) is the reason why properties were destroyed. some say its not just about Agbala. Well, its just a rumour till we get to the root of the cause.

My heart bleeds as i write this, i can't find words to express how i feel. Something that doesn't hold water is causing a problem that escalate to this point. Sometimes i wonder how ill reasoning our so called youths may be. Burning peoples houses and live investment thereby rendering many homeless and helpless all because of something that has no important to offer to our life? My heart bleeds as i watch trading videos online.

While many condemed this barbaric act, some youth who don't actually know the meaning and the after effect of war is talking about revenge and that sadden me the most.

The truth is, revenge wont solve the problem. as long as Nkporo isi ogo esato is concerned, we all have family in each of the commmunity. He who lives in a glass house don't throw a stone.

How it affected me

My hands were shaking as my dad recieves calls upon calls. Our house was their next target. the house opposite ours was brought to ashes. A building material shop in our compound that belongs to one of my relative was also destroyed and if not the intervation of the Nigerian army....your guess is right.

As it stands, my people are in another village for safety.

All i Pray for is peace to be restored back to my community. war will never take us anywhere.

power up exercise

If all the accounts on steemit have ZERO STEEMPOWER, it means that no one can vote each other and i personally will be affected too.
With that in mind, i have decided to join #club5050 by powering up my steem to steem power(sp)

After exchanging my sbd with steem, i now power up 50 steem
