Justice

In Nigeria presently, the people desire leaders that shall inspire them in these challenging times.

But unfortunately, such leaders are yet to emerge. Indeed, a number of them have led their people astray to the extent that disillusionment, hopelessness and bitterness are now their lot.

In this interview with Federationews2day,the Ezendigbo of Ibadanand Oyo state,Eze(Dr.)AlexAnozie says tha his guiding light is truth and justice. Excerpts :

What is your philosophy of life ?

The first message on my philosophy of life and that is what has been guiding me is loving God, trusting God, and God alone.
This is in addition to loving my fellow human beings and my neighbors, irrespective of their religion, their ethnic affiliation, and their status in the society-rich or poor, literate or illiterate, I love everybody.
But those who are my best friends are those who believe in the truth and justice in every situation.
If I am confronted with any problem or worrisome situation with any individual, it is because I fight to defend truth and justice. These are the key ingredients that make up my philosophy of life.
In addition, I accord respect to everybody, irrespective of social or economic status, particularly when such a person is in that line of truth and justice. I respect such persons so much. Why, because before God, all of us are equal and everybody is important, even the foolish man or foolish woman is important, so I respect everybody. It may interest you to know that for the past 45 years or thereabout, I have been in this part of Nigeria, Ibadan, Oyo state, watching over my business and other areas, I cannot remember any day I had an exchange of dirty words with anybody, be it my friends, my neighbors, patients/customers. I cannot remember exchanging dirty words with anyone.

Everybody is free to make inquiries, whether I am saying the truth or telling lies.  It is not because I am perfect in all I do, because it is only God that is perfect in everything He does. It may be it is because I tolerate and endure reasonably enough. These are among the aspects that make up my philosophy of life.
philosophy of life.
And I think, one of the things that make this to be possible is that I always meditate on one of the commandments of God,  that states, 'Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.'' So, I make sure that I put it into practice as much as possible.
And you know what, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is my God. As He was God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so He is God to me. As He was God to Joseph, so He is God to me. As He was God to Moses, so He is God to me.  As He was God to King David, so He is God to me. As He was God to King Solomon, so He is God to me.
All these great men of God went through several travails, my travails are nearly similar to theirs.
However, one aspect that is very worrisome to me, is that human beings have transformed from the human beings they ought to be to something else. Human beings are now killing one another. Human beings are now destroying one another, to the extent that it seems that animals value life more than human beings do.
Quotes  By Eze(Dr.) Alex Anozie :
1)Do Good always. But, where you can do nod good, Do No Evil.
2)In every situation try to make a decision, for not taking any decision is another failure altogether.

3)Take risk only when there is no alternative.

4)The right time to do the right thing is all the time, then, all becomes well all the time

The Ezendigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze(Dr.) Alex Anozie insists that he is still the head of the  Igbos in Ibadan and Oyo state by virtue of the fact that there has not been any judgment  nullifying the judgment of the high court in his favor. Eze(Dr.)Anozie made this disclosure in a statement as follows :

''The matter is still in court like they rightly said. And a high court has given judgment in my favor as the authentic Head of Igbos in Ibadan and Oyo state. And my opponent appealed the case which is still in the Appeal Court and even the  Supreme court.''
''So I am sure His imperial Majesty who is the father to all of us he is trying to prove that he is a law-abiding monarch by saying let's allow the court to finish with the matter, the high court judgment stated that I should continue to parade myself as the Ezendigbo/Onyendu of Ibadan and Oyo state and that my opponent should stop parading himself as same and that no court has vacated the judgment up till this moment, be it appeal or supreme court. ''
''They, our opponent even applied for a stay of execution against the judgment but it was not granted. His Imperial Majesty, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, and his council-we respect them so much and we love them so much and I am happy that this is my 24th year as the head of my people in this part of the country and everybody is witness that I have been leading my people to live peacefully in Ibadan and Oyo state.''
 ''Our respect and love for the Olubadan cannot change. So, the case is still in court.
The court judgment in my favor still subsists. We are aware that some people are going about circulating lies against us, but God almighty who never fails can never be deceived. We are going to maintain the peace. They are only trying to show the world that they believe in the rule of law, Eze(Dr. ) Anozie concluded.

The presence of a fair-complexioned woman of easy virtue, also known as Mama Bisoye, who also owns a beer parlor at Amoke Mall in the community and a resident of No.4 of the same street, is the stimulus, a fair-complexioned policeman required to boost the image of the criminals, while he drives a Rio Kia of the Oyo State Government Security outfit,  Special Response Squad(SRS).
Prominent among the criminals, who mostly hang out at beer parlors, hotels, and a deserted building behind the vandalized private property in the community, is one Nnanna of No. 5,  of the same street, Tobi Adesanya(Ijoba) whose mother grinds pepper and tomato in the community at No. 6 and Lekan Adewale, whose mother also sells tomato at No. 8 of the same street, where the criminals have operated for several years.
The criminals who are brazen and daring openly boast that they have the consent of the law enforcement agents and some government officials to terrorize the occupant of the private property, in a nation guided by due process and the rule of law.
