[OPINION] What The Igbo Governors, Wealthy Sons & Daughters Must Do This December

By Anayo M. Nwosu

The governors of the southeastern states should be persuaded to make buses available at major cities in Nigeria for their citizens  wishing to return home during Christmas Season.

Beneficiaries must identify themselves with voters cards, National ID card or driver's license. More generously, they may be identified by their town union officials.

Some of our citizens want to return home but are being held back by lack of transport fares. So many of them living in Lagos want to return and settle finally in the East but can't.

The biting economic hardship has affected our people's ability to pay rent, school fees or feed. At home, in the East, they can at least farm and can manage themselves.

The executives of Igbo town unions should reach out to their wealthy sons and daughters to sponsor movement of their people and their personal effects.

Anambra people and their government have always done this in the past and must sustain the exercise particularly this year.

I know of a group of three guys that have pledged to pay for the transport fares of 10 widows and their children to their villages in the East this December.

May God bless us and our leaders as we make others happy this Christmas season. There is surely a heavenly reward for charity works like this one.
