JohnBosco Ozigbu: FROM GLORY TO GLORY

By Dikeukwu Mbadiwe

According to Confucius, A superior Man is modest in his speech but exceeds in his actions. Again, there are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach them in our present stage of human development. Thus, no human can decipher the future of a child when born into this world. Some people out of providence, determination, focus, Faith and concerted efforts grow to become great enigmas. Some end up to become a colossus with a lot of myth surrounding them. Some even turn out to become a subject of study by their society. Fortunately, for the Ozigbu Dynasty of Ogwuaga Abba, these potentials abound in High Chief John Bosco Chukwuma Ozigbu, PhD -Ngene of Nwangele.

The Man ‘Ngene of Nwangele’, by his activities rightly fits into what MLK said that, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity”. The Man has lived his life for others to live. He is a perfectionist. He can best be described as a celebrity who conclusively concludes that which he undertakes to do be it in world of Education, Business or Social Contract. The walls of his humanist activities is elastic and boundless. By the summary of his life achievements today, one may wont to ask what else does this Man want but in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years”. Yes, much has been said about this enigma ‘Ngene of Nwangele’, but much more remains to be said. A Man handsome, very courageous, not haughty but bold, frank, focused, eloquent, vibrant, determined and dedicated. Like the elephant he is, different people perceive him differently depending on the angle each views him. He does not pretend about his likes and dislikes as aptly captured by Iyanla Vangant who said, “If you really want to live your life to the fullest and realize your greatest potentials, you must be willing to run the risk of making some people run mad. People may not like what you do, People may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are”. That is the Man ‘Ngene of Nwangele’.

Thank God for his life. Thank God for his (God’s) designs for him in life And Thank God for abundance of good health and Grace for him.

In conclusion, I say Congratulations High Chief John Bosco Ozigbu, PhD, for not only the new feat achieved but also for the Honor you are attracting to your people of Nwangele.
