SPEECH BY THE WHO IS WHO COORDINATOR AT SENATOR M.B. CHUKWUBIKE 'S HOME IN NENWE
On the 1st of December 2024 this
maiden edition of the Nenwe WHO IS WHO
was presented to simultaneously at Enugu, Abuja and online via zoom/Whatsapp to Nenwe people and the world (Attached is the
welcome address and presentation of the WHO IS WHO by coordinator speech ). The members of the committee and many people who read the book
suggested a special day to honour
the person who not only
inspired the book but the highest Political Office holder, highest
Nenwe person in any elective or appointed political position, in any democratically elected dispensation
in Nigeria, Senator (Chief) M. B. Chukwubike, a Senator of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria (1960 - 1966) by having this epoch making library
material presented to his family in particular and Nenwe people in general in
his Nenwe Country House. You are all welcome.
Chief(Senator)M.B.Chukwubike need not much introduction more than
written in the book. The project of this Nenwe WHO IS WHO
was inspired by his challenge to one of his sons Charles and other
younger ones by extension after his
publication of the History of Nenwe
town in 1984, when Charles told him that
there were many personalities then not
written about and he said “....they can never be written once and in one
document, You can do that......”(MBC)
Chief M.B Chukwubike loved
education and youths
empowerment and this is testified
by the numerous Awgu people that
got scholarships and guardianship at
all levels during his time. His home
was a hub of research, formal and
informal for many Nenwe students and researchers .
We are really happy that the family has decided to
accept this hosting of the event today. It is also an honour
to all of us in the committee that the
senator’s family appreciates the
work we have done .
We do not want to repeat whatwealready said in the unveiling speech which has been
read. But on the programme, we shall announce a day in the first qquarter of this year
when certificates of honour shall be given to
those personalities in this first edition. We also encourage all those who asked for
copies of the book on the day of the unveiling day at Abuja
Enugu and online to come forward and receive the requested copies
today or from any of the
designated persons in Nenwe, Enugu and
Abuja after today's presentation.
On behalf of the committee we thank you all for coming and for picking a copy of this maiden edition of Nenwe
Who Is Who.
We wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best in life throughout this 2025 and beyond.

RESPONSE TO THE NENWE WHO IS WHO COMMITTEE BY THE CHIEF MB CHUKWUBIKE'S FAMILY ON THE PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK - NENWE WHO IS WHO IN HIS NENWE HOUSE ORIE EGU NENWE THIS 1stDAY OF JANUARY 2025
Protocols
It give us (Chief M.B.Chukwubike’s family and wards) great pleasure in particular to have been able with your support not just to honour our father today in this little way but to kick start a series of Educational and historical/cultural conservation
projects which he - MBC had always been on and which
we promised to continue implementing .
This will be first and foremost; the amplification of his library. It is
on record that before the ugly event of 1987 when the security agents
razed a cross section of Nenwe, Senator MB Chukwubike had the
most furnished personal library(with books, graphics,etc).However, many of the materials in
other sections of the house survived the arson and have continued to serve the students and researchers who asked
to access them. There are many volumes of prized educational and
historical materials/literature which have been scattered in many Nenwe homes,
some withpermissions. So many Nenwe people,‘OldAwgu’ and
Nigerians have written many books but there is
no place where they could be
easily accessed in Nenwe.
Many of you may not remember that the first book ChiefChukwubike wrote (before The history of Nenwe Town)1984 was “The
Educational Advancement in Nenwe” (1983). All these materials and other
important works of Nenwe people are
dispersed here and there and most
painfully not found in any physical or virtual library.We promise, in due
course ,God being on our side to enlarge and ensure the amplification of his library which will be open to Nenwe people /researchers free of
charge in his memory.
At this point I have to honour
his elder and
only brother Nne Chukwubike (alias Ogidi Egwu) who carted
away most of these books when
Nenwe fell to the Federal troops and
buried them in Egu Agbada/Ukete till the Nigerian Civil war ended and we picked the ones
termites didn’t eat up.
Once more thank you for
the honour and respect given to us by attending
this book presentation.
You are all welcome to our
Nenwe House also known as No.
10 Downing Street by many older Nenwe people during the times of our father.
Happy New year to you all and Happy birthday to Patrick who coincidentally has his birthday today though not having a feast!(Aahahah)

MESSAGES ''NENWE WHO IS WHO
I have taken time to read and appreciate the sensitization you have caused ndi Nenwe. Some of us have been crying for years over the indifference of Nnenwerians to issues concerning the community. In my chairman's address yesterday at the unveiling ceremony at Enugu, I was almost crying of how you caused Nenwe people to be interested in one thing again. Without oriri ali, nor okukoro and ukpeka orie- egu, that brought Nnenwe together then, you have done it in another style. Charlie bu omeka- nnaya. I pray that God will give you the enablement to perfect the work, as I know you will receive more assistance this time. I know that umu- Nnenwe, ma ndi lavuhuru, will start thinking home again. As I reminded us yesterday, that a night sleep in Nnenwe was the sweetest you can ever have in those days. I pray we will start having that joyful and peaceful sleep again in Nenwe. Remain blessed my people as we await the proper launching at Nenwe.
Prof. Okechukwu Alimba,
Chairman Enugu, Nenwe Who Is Who unveiling ceremony.

I write to congratulate my age-long friend, Chief Charles M.B.C., on this impressive feat of initiating, and, with his team, articulating, publishing, and unveiling the "NENWE WHO IS WHO" : A solid bridge of the "past" and the "present" of Nenwe, and a reliable tool for a valuable projection to the "future of the Ndi Nenwe".
I am not from Nenwe, but I am a great lover of Nenwe and a good friend of Nenweans (Ndi Nenwe), Charlie M.B.C., being my number 1.
Long live the Nenwe WHO IS WHO Team!!
Long live Chief Charles M.B.C.!!!

Good morning all. As we congratulate our two legends for their recognition by Nenwe people, I never knew that late Mr Sylvester Mba Ede equally made the list. In a posthumous recognition like this, it's quite late for him to enjoy /respond, but for those left behind. On behalf of the family, and of course the entire Enugunator Community, I say congratulations to all of us - - - Engr TC Ede
Good morning Everyone and @Charles MBC Dr, Chief Sir..
This is an exciting message as written by The Eldest child and 1st son of the Late Sylvester Edeh when he saw that his late dad, a legend was captured on this maiden edition.
I am.so happy and excited to notice that 3 of our Enugunato-worthy and role models in person of @Prof. Mike Maduagwu, Chief Silas Nwoha(NAN) and Mr Edeh whose Teaching role transformed many schoolers in Uhueze.
We are thankful and Delighted (Ifeanyi Ejim).

My general please continue to work hard ,pray and 'have Ndidi always'😃.God will continue to bless your generosity to the needy and the community. CharlieMBC

Dear Charley MBC, it is stupendously amazing, what you, as an individual can do - so many things all at the same time. Let me wholeheartedly congratulate you on the successful unveiling/launching of your maiden book publication, NENWE WHO IS WHO. I’ve gone through the platform (in which you personally and graciously added me, thank you very much for that) and everything here has been so exciting, amazing and epoch making: talk of the unveiling/presentation of the book, the launching at various places at the same time, the congratulatory messages, your incisive responses and reactions, etc. This is quite wonderful.
Please pardon my ‘late’ comments since the commencement of these flurry of activities. It’s been due to circumstances beyond my control.
Let me also congratulate all the organizing committee/Team members at Abuja, Enugu and virtual (online) who worked very hard, and all those who contributed in one way or the other in making this event possible and hugely successful. I thank you all for this lifelong Christmas gift to ndi Nenwei. Ke du l’ihu karu o.

I also thank those in the teams and committees that I dissolved for my good reasons.
I thank all those who understood and volunteered the information requested .
Special thanks to those who tenaciously and painstakingly did this job of picking the information especially the patience and coping with my incessant phone calls and emails prompting and indicating.

I want to thank our non-Nenwe guests and friends who stood by the coordinator and the team during the work till the presentation. Your friendship and solidarity are well appreciated.

Good morning ndi Nenwe, I too, observed that my dear Dad, was very conspicuous missing in the Nenwe Who’s Who and have made my observation known to the coordinator Chief Charlie MBC and Pat also.
If George Allwell Ugwueke is left out, then the Nenwe who’s who is grossly incomplete! (Ogbuevi A Ugueke).Abuja

Ossy, my brother, please calm down. The Author's address clearly indicates that this is just the first edition. I believe that the reactions from this first work, including yours, will surely help in his next production.
Now that we are seeing that this is not a joke, many will be willing to volunteer useful information and help in the research for the second edition.
Meanwhile, let's congratulate Charlie and happily commend him for this outstanding and unique initiative.(Nick Chukwukadibie) Nenwe

I commend the organizers who painstakingly saw to it that this was a success. May God bless all your efforts and endeavors 🙏

SOME GOODWILL MESSAGES FROM NENWE WHATSAPP GROUPS ETC PART 1
GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM SILAS NWOHA, FORMER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, NEWS AGENCY OF NIGERIA.
To the glory of God, the Nenwe Who's Who is to be unveiled today. This endeavour is indeed, another milestone in Nenwe. The Who's Who captures the contributions of Nenwe people in various fields of endeavours. I'm particularly elated not just because I made the list but because our people are steadily putting our town on the map. Looking back, I've every reason to thank God for my earthly journey so far. As everyone knows, I'm from one of the humblest homes in Nenwe. I was brought up in a home where daily living was a huge struggle. I wish my mother were alive to hear or witness the profound story of her last child. Rising to the very peak of my career and becoming the first Igbo man to be named Editor-in-Chief of News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) demonstrate that hard work, perseverance, honesty, modesty and abiding faith in God can lift the child of a nobody to unimaginable heights in any career or endeavour. I remember all my teachers and mentors at this special moment. Let me dedicate this moment to Mr. Anthony Mbachukwu of Amoji Nenwe, who saw a certain promise early in my life. He kept advising me to keep going and never to give up.
Dear brothers and sisters, I know, however, that my best is yet to come. Therefore, the struggle continues. Please join me to commend the initiators of the Who's Who project, particularly @Dr. CharlieMBC. Charlie has a deep knowledge of everything. I doff my hat for him. Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to buying some copies of the book to donate to two primary schools in Uhueze, Nenwe. I'll also pick copies for my friends far and near. May God bless every son and daughter of Nenwe, especially those of you here present. May God bless you all.
Thank you.
Silas Nwoha,
Former Editor-in-Chief,
News Agency of Nigeria.

It is a pleasure to have you here in the midst of your brothers and sisters.
Humphrey (Akachukwu) is always too happy to share his root in Amorji Nenwe and feels great in our midst.
Thanks Charlie for using the forum to pull everybody together. This is just the starting point , and we are moving ahead to more greater things in future, God's willing.
Cheers everyone!.

Charlie,
I'm just speechless. I've just been added and I really marvel at your intellect and ability to articulate these events and activities of the far past. The benefits of these achievements are priceless to the present generation and posterity.
You have made me start thinking of Nenwe having a Museum. I have no doubt you'll play great role if the idea materialises.😇
May God keep enhancing your memory towards these laudable goals.
Nick Chukwu.

I know that Nenwe is etched in me.
But I'm not originally from Nenwe!
It was in your town that I had my first paid employment - an Auxiliary Teacher in the very first year of your Girls High School (located then at Central School/St. Peter's Church. You guys assimilated me and I've tried to live up to that acceptance. The MBC brood led by their mother took me in and Ngozi, Pat, Bridget, Mary-Rose, Tochi and Edu seized me as their brother. Charlie was in Italy but wasted no time in taking me in.
I'll be soooo glad to learn that I wasn't added by mistake. If you remove me, I'll call on the spirit of my uncle Hon. James Nnadi who started St Peter's School in the 40s/50s to fight back.
Ulu Ejheee!

[10:48, 30/11/2024] Chijioke Ejike: Passively, I engage myself in some of your posts on history and literary-related contents with great zeal and appreciation for the knowledge you share without any cost but added value for the money we all spend on data.
Personally, I find your contents as latent guides capable of stirring ambitious thoughts in our present and future generations to pursue the trajectory of heroism. I believe that Nenwerians, by virtue of this initiative of "Nenwe Who Is Who" will aspire to engage in practices that can place their names on this tabloid of greatness.
You deserve overwhelming commendations for this selfless service to our people. Many thanks again, much as I can, I will remain supportive.
Chijioke Ejike:

Permit me Manzi Silas Nwoha to congratulate you and to be joined in your wonderful Goodwill Message. You speak not only for yourself but also for me and so many other Nenwe people who made this First Edition of NENWE WHO IS WHO. The story of successful people all over world would confirm that most of them were not born with silver spoons in their mouths. So I join you to thank the Almighty God for the so many opportunities He has given me in life. It’s almost incredible that I who dropped out of Elementary 5 because of school fees would eventually rise academically to obtain a Ph.D and become Professor. I thank God for all the people He used to make me what I became.
Let me also use this opportunity to congratulate Chief Charles Chukwubike, the initiator of the NENWE WHO IS WHO project and also Manzi Silas Nwanya who coordinated the collection of the stories of the personalities of the list from Uhueze and played the major role in the publication of the book.
Mike
