An international businessman and philanthropist, Dr. Joseph Onuorah has appealed to Ndigbo not to abandon the region because of the pockets of problems that are bedeviling it, saying that they are surmountable.
Speaking to newsmen recently,
Dr. Onuorah popularly know as "Deme Demee Na Orumba" noted that
Ndigbo will not allow the economic and security situations in the region at the
moment to loose the very critical cultural ties and preservation of family
bonds as well as societal values in their various communities.
The Ndiowu born business magnet
urged government at all levels, especially the southeast Governors to redouble
efforts in relaunching the economic viability of the region, and end end the
pockets of insecurities in the zone for the overall wellbeing and development
of the zone.
According to Dr. Onuorah, the
criminals in the region would be emboldened to cause more havoc if Ndigbo
decided to stay away from the problems that beset the region, which he said are
equally found everywhere around the Sahara region and that Ndigbo will require
locally crafted solutions to take back their cities, towns and villages.
He maintained that sufficient
attention should also be paid to structural investments and activities to
harness youth talents and passion like sports, education, industry, crafts,
skill centers, financial literacy among others.
Dr. Onuorah equally called on
successful Igbo entrepreneurs around the world to also do more with capital
returns to the southeast region to drive the needed economic buoyancy and urged
South East members of the National Assembly to cure themselves of what he termed
“give away” malady and do more to attract federal government's and state presence
to their local communities.
"Bringing investments home and attracting governments presence in various communities is a more sustainable wealth creation strategy which we must abide by at all times " Demee Demee said.
Dr. Onuorah also took the
initiative to invite the general public to experience the 2024 edition of
Ndiowu Sports Fiesta starting from Monday December 23rd until Tuesday December
31st 2024
The Ndiowu Sports Fiesta is an
annual sports festival sponsored for the 6th time by Chief Dr Joseph Onuorah
(Deme Deme 1 Na Orumba) and being organized by Ndiowu Town Union sports council

The Philanthropist explained
that the Objectives of the sports fiesta was part of a broader strategy to
tackle insecurity by providing a structured platform for youths to fully
