ETC WANYANWU WEEKEND DRILL
ETC WANYANWU WEEKEND DRILL RESULTs FOR 23rd JULY, 2017.
CONGRATULATIONS to Amadi Innocent Gælaksí-Añyahenuñwør for attempting both questions. No winner for the weekend!
Q1:
"an African writer who thinks and feels in his own language must write in that language.". Which Obio/Akpor son made the above literary quote? Which ward and community is he from and what are his laudable achievements?
ANSWER:
Lt. Senator Obi Wali, from ward 12, Eckinigbo, Rumuigbo clan
Laudable Career Achievements:
1. Obi Wali was one of the founding fathers of Rivers State in Nigeria and served as the first Commissioner for Education, as well as a member of the first executive council of the state.
2.He was later elected as a member of the 1978 Constituent Assembly and also as a member of the Constitution Drafting Committee that drafted the 1979 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
3. He was elected as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the Second Republic and in 1980 he was elected the Minority Leader of the House of Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
4. As a politician, he is perhaps most remembered for championing the cause of the Ikwerre ethnic minorities in Nigeria.
5. Senator Wali was one of the best known leaders from the Niger Delta region to consistently campaign against the marginalization of the Niger Delta people (particularly the Ikwerre ethnic nationality).
6. He fought for the creation of Port Harcourt State out of the then Rivers State of Nigeria. Creating the Port Harcourt State for the Ikwerre people was an important achievement in his advocacy for the end of the marginalization and oppression of the Ikwerre, and the state-inspired exploitation of their resources. (Note this point carefully as it may appear in one of our weekends quiz questions)
7. Wali campaigned for the correction of the imbalances in the socio-economic and political power of the Nigerian state throughout his political career. He also is remembered for his call for a critical examination of Nigeria's commitments to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
8. In addition to his political roles, Wali was a professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he taught courses including "Introduction to African Literature." Beyond his educational and political contributions in Nigeria, Wali also contributed to literary scholarship.
