As you know, Primate, one of the significant things Most Revd. Okoh did before he went into retirement was to appoint the respected Archbishop of Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Revd. Emmanuel Chukwuma, to head a Panel of Bishops to make on-the-spot inquiry to ascertain the true position of things in Sapele Diocese. As your records will show, the Panel met on three (3) separate occasions with members of the Rescue Sapele Diocese Group at the Cathedral Church of St. Peters Asaba; the Ibru Ecumenical Centre, Agbarho-Otor; the Cathedral Church of St. Luke Sapele and a few other Rescue Sapele Diocese Group churches. During that visit, a most damning testimony was presented against Bishop Erifeta by one of his former drivers. The driver gave graphic details of what he saw as immoral practices perpetrated by Bishop Erifeta and had the courage of his conviction to send a hard copy of this testimony to Archbishop Chukwuma and members of his Panel. For reasons which we cannot understand, the Report and recommendations of the Chukwuma Panel have remained shrouded in secrecy since the year 2018. Despite several pleas from us to you and your predecessor that the Panel’s Report should be released in the interest of the bodyof Christ, our pleas have gone unheeded. Is the proverbial “Nigerian Factor” at play here? Why this seeming cover-up?

“The Federal Government cannot tell us that they don’t have money to pay ASUU to resolve all of these issues. There is money in our country, we shouldn’t deceive ourselves about that. Education should not even be a sector to toy with. We must be careful with what we do, we have more challenges in our hand and should not add pressure on parents and children who are the actual victims of this strike.

For many years, politicians have promised us what we had already and deny us what we don’t have. They will say, we will put money, we have money already, they will say we will develop this, develop that, we have that already, what we lack is truth, we also lack justice. That is why we don’t have peace and peace is an extension for everything we want to do.

Presently, Isheagu is ruled by HRM Lt. Col. Obi Onyema 11 (Rtd), Obi of Isheagu Kingdom.
The Isheagu community is known for its rich cultural heritage; it is widely known with the Nze Festival which has remained exceptionally unique and celebrated annually. This festival appears weird in nature and only the lion hearted can muster the courage to watch it, let alone participating in it. It is one festival that prides in the excessive use of cutlasses to display and demonstrate the act that led to the institutionalisation of the festival. It is also celebrated with the rain; no matter how the weather appears to be bright and scorchy with the sun, as soon it is time for the festival to commence, rain must fall.
