Why we protested Against Obi - Agulu people

www.odogwublog.com reports that the organizers of Agulu Business  Training Seminar led by Mr. Amaechi  Anyanwor said they had to protest against Governor Peter Obi to draw his attention to the fact that Agulu people needed to share in his wisdom, which, according to him, he has been sharing with different organizations since he left office.

He expressed happiness that Obi had at last came to exchange ideas and experience with them during their seminar  on Sunday at Golden Tulip Hotel, Festac, Lagos.

Speaking at the event,  Mr. Peter Obi  told them that the key to success  was remaining focus at one's goals at all times.

Speaking to them on wide range of issues centered along business management and sustainable growth, Obi said that the problem with most people was trying to live lives according to dictates of others and not according to their convictions. "When you live according to the dictates of others, you do things they do, buy the type of cars they buy because you want to be like them and not because you actually need those things," Obi said.

Further, Obi advised his people about ways to cut costs, saying that the survival of businesses depend on the life styles of their proprietors. Using burials as example, Obi said that if the living wanted to be buried lavishly, that they should keep the money to be used for their burials, otherwise burials should be modest and money that would have been used in lavish burials used to add values to the society by way of using it to provide proper schooling and training for the people.

Obi called on Agulu people to look inwards and to have in mind that the best way to develop the town and be at peace with one another and with oneself is by showing love to one another and by offering advice to one another.

"Above all" Obi concluded, "We must be close to God through prayers."

Delivering the vote of thanks, Chief Bony Iloanya thanked Mr. Peter Obi for his unquantifiable contributions to the progress of the society. He prayed that God will continue to grant him good health for continued service to his people.
