Also, a top ranking member of Top Seed Mbaise Club, Dr. Ihekwaba Frank, who took the first kick off on the opening day of the competition said the goal is to revive youths in the rural communities.
He called on the youths in the area to leverage on the opportunity towards becoming a better version of themselves to serve as role models to the upcoming generations.
"We are beginning to revive our communities, our young people, grow the whole different set of systems which will propel us to where we need to be.
"These opportunities the young people are having now is what I am proud of. I am so happy to see this happening. I believe that as we grow these talents, they will begin to see opportunities for themselves and see options for themselves going forward.
"Just like in times past, those that are serious and want to have a future, and those that are going to become role models for the younger ones. So, when the younger ones see how the older ones ahead of them are being treated, and having opportunities from all of these things, they are most likely to emulate those people than when they don't have those role models.
"These are the things we need to do for younger people to follow. If they don't see these things happening, they will only follow that which they see and what they see is obviously not the best thing for the communities.
"I try to say to them, open your eyes, see that which works for you. Use that which is available to you today. Put what has happened before as the basic foundation because they know more than we do. They have better opportunities than we ever had. What we need to do is to make what's available to them so that they can take what we have and add to what they have now to become better."

History was made as the much anticipated Aladimma Eziala Ogwu; which hitherto was not functional, came to be again. The serene and peaceful community was animated, enlivened, electrified, and convivial as men and women, old and young, came out in their numbers to witness the official opening of a new Aladimma Eziala ogwu after almost a decade.
Plethora of elders, titled men and women, opinion moulders and the youths were all on ground to see for themselves the beginning of a new era with the brand new Aladimma Eziala Ogwu.
While making his speech, the cerebral Nze Lawrence Ukachi went down memory lane, where he recalled the roles some of the notable Sons and Daughters of the community played to make sure that they have a peaceful Community and a functional Aladimma. In particular, he thanked profusely AVM Uche Nwagwu, a young man who is inexorably passionate to help his people and Hon. Barr. Mrs Ogechi Njoku-Ehirim for the key and strategic roles they played in this regard.
