“As yum-yum as the car looks, as baddest as the car looks, I will NOT drive it. The spoils of this car must be enjoyed by every living being and organism in Afikpo and even beyond. This ride will be turned into liquids! The proceed will be used towards massive empowerment. Revolving loans, and to aid those in need of small funds to start a business or kick life into their businesses. A portion of it will go towards my some of my on-going projects for the sweetest people of Afikpo.”
Two months after that solemn vow, Afikpo Chic sings another tune. Read:
Afikpo Chic will not be donating her luxury car to Ebonyi’s poor.
“Situation report: Prado SUV.
Sweetest Afikpo, unfortunately I am not going to be able to sell the car. Though the car is our entitlement, we are not allowed to sell it. The rules of the House forbids it. I have tendered my apologies to my colleagues, my Speaker & my Governor.
Darling Afikpo, my everything!! When it dawned on me I would have to drive the car, it was a very depressing day, as I really wanted to share it with you all. I love my you so much. Driven by this love, I run the risk of being ruled by my heart and not my head or rules in my relationship with you. One such instance is borne out by my desire to sell the official vehicle given to me. I was going to use the proceeds to give revolving loans to as many as possible, so as to make your lives easier. Not to worry, as long as I breath I must see to it that my lofty desire for Afikpo becomes a reality. It is just a matter of time. Little time. I have set the wheel in motion and it must come to pass. You know what I can do. My brain is on fire. Just bear with me. Maria type Mula will soon occur and it will be all yours.
Afikpo Omoloma!! Your burden remains my burden. Your happiness is my happiness. Your joy is my lifelong mission. You are my world, my everything.
Yours truly, Maria Ude Nwachi – Nwanyi Afikpo. BCEL – Best Chic Ever Liveth – Afikpo Chic. Legislator: Ebonyi State House of Assembly.”
