THE VIDEO CHAT WITH COMR. HIGH CHIEF TIMOTHY UMUKORO, EDUCATION SECRETARY, UKWUANI LOCAL GOVERNMENT EDUCATION AUTHORITY AT HIS OFFICE IN OBIARUKU WITH NDOKWA TALENTS 2ND MAY, 2017

MODERATOR: Sir Lets meet you

COMR. TIMOTHY: I am Comr. High Chief Umukoro Chukwuma Timothy, the Odekem 1 of Ezionum Kingdom

MODERATOR: What have you done to maintain Peace and Unity in Ndokwa Nation?

COMR. TIMOTHY: I have done a lot of things to maintain Peace and Unity in Ndokwa Nation. Let me start with my own community Ezionum. When Ezionum and Amai had issues, I was instrumental to resolving the issue as I was a member of the 15 man peace committee set up to resolve the issues. When Umuebu and Amai had theirs I was also among those who worked for the issues to be resolved. At Ezionum, there was a time that we don’t use eyes to see ourselves and stealing was High, but when I took office as a Youth leader, we made all rules that has resolved all that today. In this office, Education Authority, I met sectional squabbling whereby some people were denied positions because they are not from Ndokwa or Ukwuani but I put an end to all that here and even appointed an Igbo man as a Primary School Head Teacher.

MODERATOR: What do you think that will bring and promote Peace in Ndokwa Nation?

COMR. TIMOTHY: Regular Town Hall Meeting. When we meet we can find quick solution. There should be Ndokwa Development Committees whereby all parts could be meeting and it should be on rotation bases so that we can know our problem. The NNU should be meeting and it should not be domiciled in the house of the President General because that is not were Ndokwa problem is. We must recognize all the administrative structures of Communities in Ndokwa Nation and that is were selections should be made to meet and discuss the way forward.

MODERATOR: What plans do you have for the Peace and Unity of our People?

COMR. TIMOTHY: Personally I am organizing regular meetings and floating groups with the aims of uniting our people.

MODERATOR: Do you fall among the few that believes Ndokwa can be united for a common purpose?

COMR. TIMOTHY: Yes. But I must tell us that we are not just few that believes this, we are many that believes that Ndokwa can be united for a common purpose. But it takes love to make this work.

MODERATOR: What advice do you have for our people based on Peace and Unity?

COMR. TIMOTHY:  The thing that will promote this Peace and Unity in Ndokwa Nation is love. We don’t see love but when it is available we feel it. My advice is that we should love ourselves because if we love ourselves we will not steal or kill our own.
