Thousands of the indigenes of the community led by male and female adults as well as youths yesterday trooped to their communal lands to begin massive farming activities for this year.

When LEADERSHIP visited the community to observe the event, the people were seen trooping out from the various villages to the Ala Owa part of the farm land where the ceremony took place yesterday as at 7am.

Some of the villagers arrived fully prepared for farming activities, as some came carrying hoes, cutlasses, water-cans, and, properly dressed in farming attire, and, met the president-general of the town union, Nimo Town Development Union, Mr. Dan Anakpe, who was already waiting with several elders of the community, including one of the revered Ozor title holders, Ozor Nnamdi Nwaobachili for the event.

Addressing the natives, the town union president-general reminded them of the harsh economic situation in the country and charged the people to ward off the attendant hunger from getting into the community by embarking on aggressive farming activities.

Anakpe said, “Today, we have gathered here to declare war against hunger in Nimo.  We want to make sure that hunger does not afflict us in our community.

“I therefore want everyone to go and start farming in his or her kindred’s farm. Anyone who doesn’t have land where to farm should come to us so that we give him or her a portion of land where he or she can farm.

“We don’t want any part of our farmland to remain uncultivated this farming season because we are declaring war against hunger today in Nimo,” Anakpe stated further.

Also, Ozor Nwaobachili commended the farming programme initiative of Mr Anakpe-led town union leadership saying that the programme would help the various kindred in the community recover their ancestral lands which have already been seized and sold out to some land speculators which included even non-natives of the community by a former executive of the town union.

Nwaobachili alleged that a former executive of the town union had already sold over 200 plots of land belonging to different kindred, and declared to the community that it realised a total sum of N900million from sale of such lands.
