NKPORO
I love Nkporo; my proud community that spans across
eight beautiful villages.
Welcome to Elughu Nkporo with her high mountains,
cool temperature and serene atmosphere. The greetings
due the firstbornremain with you!
Is it Etitiama? The cradle of education with her vast
landscape, ancient histories and a vivacious youth
population?
Go to Amurie and you will see beauty at its peak with
high spirited, hardworking but fun loving people.
I went across to Obuofia and I saw unity of purpose at
its best. I realized that number is not as important as
the power of joint communal energy.
Then, I journeyed to Ndi Nko and I beheld the joyful
faces of beautiful and fresh maidens, ripe and ready to
be plucked!
Hey, Okwoko popped out, attracting my attention with
her well paved streets and street names, bustling with
her ambitious and easy going population.
Again, I travelled to Agbaja, the land of great warriors
and the custodians of the ancient landmarks and
mysteries of our times.
At last I got to Ukwa, the crib of Christianity; the lion
that lies across the great Ironyi river! The oil community
with her prosperous sons and daughters spread across
vast arable lands, wrapped in mangrove beauty.
I turned around, and I saw men and women speaking
with one voice. I saw eight people knitted tightly
together by one force; their hospitality, generosity and
warmth.
NKPORO here we come. Your sons and daughters in
Diaspora hail you. The great buffalo that swallowed the
elephant, joo kwa,kaa nka, ndee wo! Hand in hand we
would work together at home and abroad to restore your
dignity and troubled glory. We salute you our
motherland.
Nkporo okwo, mma mma ni wo!
