PRAYERS FOR OGURUGU

A PRAYER FOR OGURUGU:   

 May the sun shine on you oh beautiful land of green. 
May the showers descend and wet the fields for our crops to blossom and our barns to overflow with abundance. 
May our heart long for your good, though in far away shores we abide. 
May our people flourish like the palm tree in all their endeavours. 
May we be willing to sacrifice our time, treasures and talents for the advancement of your glorious course. 
May our elders' grey hair mean nothing but wisdom. 
May our youths be prosperous in all their undertakings, be successful and strong. 
May we sing the great redemption song on your beautiful hills. 
You shall receive pardon for all your sins from the Lord your Saviour. 
Your children are now grown, it is time for you to reap the fruit of your labour. 
We shall rejoice in you and sing "blessed is that land whose God is the LORD".
God bless Ogurugu!

By Obiechina Ekene Moses

 A CALL TO PRAYER

 "Ogurugu is blessed land right from the onset but today sentiment has given room to some damages, but prayer changes things. Let every one of us continue praying. The best is coming ahead if you can do this any place you are based, whether two or three people. Even though you are alone just organise yourself as a set and choose a day in a mouth and pray for our land Ogurugu. Please never you ignore this message"

THE NEED FOR THE OGURUGU NARRATIVE IN THE QUEST FOR THE HISTORICAL ONOJA OBONYI Was Onoja Obonyi a concocted mythological figure or a real/historical person? This and others are the questions that will keep begging for answers on the minds of any Ogurugu person who hears or reads of many of stories of Onoja Oboni's peddled everywhere on the internet and books. Was Onoja Oboni like those characters in moonlight stories and fairy tales (osala) told to Ogurugu children by their elderly ones? Or was he a real human who once live in Ogurugu as the Ogurugu narrative said? Which part of the Ogurugu narrative should be accepted as true since other variants/versions from Igalaland and Igboland contradict it to an extent.  One of the unique and mysterious features of Onoja Obonyi in most, if not all, of the stories of his birth, life, exploits and death is that he was a warrior giant with six fingers on both hands and six toes on both foots. This mysterious characteristics have made many ske...
