ANTHEMS Nigerian National Anthem 1.

2.

Biafran National Anthem

Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey To serve our fatherland With love and strength and faith The labour of our heroes past Shall never be in vain To serve with heart and might One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause Guide our leader’s right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.

1.

Land of the rising sun, we love and cherish, Beloved homeland of our brave heroes; We must defend our lives or we shall perish, We shall protect our lives from all our foes; But if the price is death for all we hold dear, Then let us die without a shred of fear.

2.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation, O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge: Defending thee shall be a dedication, Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege; The waving standard which emboldens the free Shall always be our flag of liberty.

3.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal, And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass; When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal. We shall remember those who died in mass; Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

4.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall, Guide all our movements lest we go astray; Give us the strength to heed the humanist call: To give and not to count the cost’ each day; Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness, To make this clime a land of righteousness."

American National Anthem And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night, That our flag was still there.

Oh, say can you see, By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed, At the twilight's last gleaming?

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave.

For the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming.

From The PRESIDENT OWERRI NSHI-ISE WOMEN ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY Good evening, Our chairman, all the co-chairpersons, all our high chiefs, all chiefs and their Lolos, all Owerri men and women, all Owerri daughters, all our invited guest all our children, ladies and gentlemen. We the entire members of Owerri women welcome you to the first inauguration/launching of the Owerri Nshi-Ise Women Association New Jersey. We appreciate your presence for honoring our invitation, may the Almighty God honor you in Jesus’ name.

Tonight, will be a memorable night for the women because we the Owerri Nshi-Ise women will be inaugurated among other women association in the community. We are also here to raise money in order to help us fulfil our goals and objectives.

The Owerri Nshi-Ise Women Association is a non-profit charity organization of women married to Owerri Nshi-Ise men. The women Association is an integral part of the Owerri Nshi-Ise Community Association New Jersey (OCA), which is comprised of the men and women of Owerri Nshi-Ise community. The women association started with the permission of the men in other for the women to reach out to themselves. By the culture of our people, married women of Igbo people always gather themselves to take care of matters concerning them and the welfare of their husbands and children and any matter affecting the community. The men also do same. This is what makes us who we are, ONYE Igbo.

Objectives: To reach out to the women and children of the Owerri Nshi-Ise. When a man gives a woman chance, he will see her potentials. The pride of every man is to succeed. And behind every successful man is a woman. The Bible says that a man who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the Lord. (Proverb 18:22).

Owerri women in New Jersey have been idle for too long. They have been in hiding and for the men to have full assistance of their women in the community, there is need for the women to be on their own because there are many discussions or words that are meant for the women hearing only. The Bible obliges the older women to teach the younger women “Older women likewise are to be… teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored” (Titus 2:3-5)” Also Proverb 31:26-29 the Bible says that a virtuous women “speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

MISSION STATEMENT: Humility is what we need because in order to show kindness, a woman must “regard [others] as more important” than herself, and not “look out for [her] own personal interest, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4)

Our Goal: •

To reach out and unite all Owerri Nshi-Ise women in New Jersey

•

To join other Owerri Nshi-Ise women both at home and in diaspora in reaching out to the poor, the widows and the less privileged by giving out scholarship to less privileged children who are willing to learn, giving out palliatives, reaching out to the older ones in the community. Helping our men in rebuilding/repairing Owerri community

•

To reach out to our children and husbands

•

Educating the women on how to take care of themselves and their families. We are in a diverse society, most of our women are from different cultures and background, women are thought among other things the culture of our people, they are meant to recite in every meeting, the names of their husband, the kindred where they belong and are made aware some of the little norms or rituals they may be observing their husband perform when they are together for example iwa Oji, ibi Oro, and the significance of these things in the culture.

Who is eligible to be in Owerri Nshi-Ise women association: Any woman married to any Owerri Nshi-Ise man (a member of OCA or not) Any woman married to Owerri Nshi-Ise grand son Any woman who is married to a man who has identified himself as Owerri Nshi-Ise community association (OCA) member.

Any widow of Owerri Nshi-Ise man who is married till death do them part and has remained unmarried.

If a woman is separated from the husband but has not divorced legally, she is still married to him, she is eligible to be a member.

If a woman is married to an Owerri Nshi-Ise man and has divorced him she is no longer eligible to be in this association if she has no children but if she has children for him and wish to remain for her children, she is culturally acceptable to be part of the Owerri Nshi-Ise women.

But if she re-marries, she is no longer eligible to be part of the association.

The Owerri Ishi-Ise women association is very active and productive. We are not only having meetings, but we also pray for our husbands and children, we have discussions on issues that will help our marriages, we are educating ourselves on things concerning our health and cooking. Our plans are to organize symposiums for our children, to reach out to the needy and as a charity organization, our primary goal is to reach out to the less privilege women and their children, and to encourage women education. We will educate our women on how to take good care of themselves and their families, how to make money and manage it. How to utilize the resources available for them. We will continue to share knowledge about things that are of benefit to us, our children, our families and the community.

The Owerri Nshi-Ise women association does not tolerate any misconducts. We meet to share and bear one another, respect one another, care for one another, be patient with one another. fighting is of zero tolerance. Anyone who indulges in fighting or quarrelling shall be suspended immediately. The women are thought to respect their husband and not to compete with them but rather complement them. A virtuous women respects herself in public. She focuses on developing “the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God” (1 Peter 3:4).

Thank you for coming and we pray for safe journey back to your destination.

The brief history of the Owerri people:

T

he history of Owere is dated as far back as 14th century when it was stated according to some narratives that OHA AND ARUGO his wife had children among them are PAPA EKWEM AND PAPA NDUM. History has it that when Ancestral Papa Oha died, his first son pa Ekwem did not have enough money to buy a cow as custom demanded. His younger brother who was able to afford the cow bought it but in return he wanted to take the lion share that belonged to his elder brother Ekwem. Our ancestral father Ekwem was wiser than Esau in the bible whose younger brother tricked with a bowl of porridge yam to take his birthright. Ekwem will not sell his birth right even if he has no money but fight for his right. Ekwem was supported by his kinsmen, and he took what rightful belonged to him. He refused to be intimidated. No wonder they said Owerri has no small child, they are smarter.

Like Jacob he ran for his dear life when he heard the plot by his brother Ndum to kill him but not without the knowledge of his mother Arugo and his sister who was married at Egbu.

Ekwem took his wife, his children, and all his servants and ran to his sisters house at Egbu but His sister later advised him to continue his journey into the forest but not without food and drinks, she also told him to make a sound for her to know where they are. No wonder an Owerri man does not joke with his sister. Blood is thicker than water. His sister was part of his success in settling at UGWU EKWEMA. She gave them yam which they roasted, and she came to see them at the hearing of the sound from them to make sure they are okay, what a caring sister.

That is why Ndom Owerri Nshi-Ise New Jersey dimmed it right of inclusion to recognize our UMU NGBO OTO (daughters of Owerri) for their support. Ugwu Ekwema became the cultural center of celebration of Oru Owerri till date in remembrance of the first time papa Ekwem and his children ate their first meal after running away from his brother.

The word Owere denote taken, which was coined from OWERELLA IHE MARA YA AKA. Meaning HE HAS TAKEN WHAT RIGHTFULLY BELONG TO HIM. The migration of the British into the land changed the name from OWERE TO THE NEW NAME IT BEARS TILL PRESENT Owerri.

To the neighboring cities Owerri became the amiable city where there is light on the pole, the thick forest that house our ancestors became the land of DESTINY AND THE CAPITAL CITY OF IMO STATE. THANKS TO OUR ANCESTOR EKWEM OHA WHO FOUGHT FOR HIS RIGHT.

OWERE ORUOOO, OWERE ORUOOOOO

She is being recognized as a virtuous woman and indeed as the Bible says, she has led her home with integrity, discipline and more. She has helped to make her husband better and brought her children up in the ways of the Lord. She is an accomplished lady and deserves praise and honor for her inspiration and being a role model for her children and other women. Her strength in stretching the walls of comfort and success for her family and the communities she belongs to is remarkable.

Congratulations my sister, we love you!

can’t think of role models in my life without my Grandma coming to mind.

Ever since I was young I’ve been inspired every day by her strength and ability to move through life with grace and humility. From the small memories like frying plantain for me

and my brother in the kitchen, to hosting family gatherings like Thanksgiving, Grandma inspires me to be a better woman for myself and for my family. Even from a thousand miles away I can feel her love and support with me always, and for that I am forever grateful.

or as long I’ve known my grandma, she’s been there for me. Some of my best memories as a kid involved my sister and I running around her

kitchen, watching her fry plantain and listening to her talk about our mom. As I grew up she continued being a presence I could always count on to love and support me, and just knowing that she’s always there for me has been something I’ve always been grateful for.

Amechi Oruwari (grandson)

We congratulate our grandmother Lady Grace and the other Ndom Owerri of New Jersey community on this occasion.
