INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACHIEVERS…CELEBRATING ANAMBRA ACHIEVERS: LOOKING BACK INTO
THE FUTURE

March 24, 2019

By Immanuel James Ibe-Anyanwu
When the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, said that “man is something to
be surpassed”, he was speaking of man’s potential to reach beyond himself,
subdue limitations, and find glory. He was talking of achievement as the central
element of human civilization—from the defeat of deadly epidemics to the
invention of the jet engine, achievement is what gives meaning to human life. It
is what sets man apart from other animals: that capacity to dream up purpose
higher than food and procreation, and live it. In setting March 24 aside as the
International Day for Achievers, the world recognizes the urgency in normalizing
the culture of higher pursuit, conquest, and example. This day, we take a moment
to appreciate men and women whose imagination and work ethic have shaped human
progress.
It is on this note that the 100 Anambra Achievers’ team congratulates
trailblazers in Anambra State and Igboland at large. The team has been working
hard in recent times to mobilize gratitude and honour for 100 remarkable
achievers from the state, achievers breaking new grounds in the world’s work in
different departments. An illustrious Igbo State, Anambra has produced
leadership in many key endeavors, from Olaudah Equiano, the slave who cut his
way to historical relevance, to Odimegwu Ojukwu, Chinua Achebe, Dora Akunyili,
Chimamanda Adichie, and many others. As the Igbo nation more than ever manifests
need for innovative leadership and service, it becomes imperative to develop a
culture that makes achievement attractive. That culture begins with celebrating
those with positive milestones and leveraging our individual and collective
talent for growth.
Culture is what defines a people’s destiny. It determines what they consider
important above other things, how they think, and what they make of life in
general. What they consider worthy, and how they construct human purpose and
meaning. Contrary to popular narrative, the Igbo culture privileges hard work,
honour, conquest, and attendant glory. There has been a blatant subversion of
this philosophy since the economic hardship of the civil war occasioned a resort
to materialism and quick money. The silence, if not connivance, of cultural and
media gatekeepers has normalized such aberrations, but time has come for a push
back. Societies are galvanized by a collective character of honest achievement,
and Ndigbo must reclaim their ethic.
That ethic led a people to manufacture war equipment from scrap metal, build
fighter jets from improvised materials, and reinvent themselves with mere 20
pounds each in 1970, only to surpass ethnic rivals who had official head-start.
We burst into reckoning with energy drawn from a culture of achievement. While
that spirit cannot be denied in the present, part of its essence has, for too
long, been a casualty of social disruptions that cannot inspire a generation to
conquer their space in the things that matter. But a chance beckons to reinstate
what the locusts have eaten.
In the light of today’s commemoration, appreciation must go to those currently
blazing the trail and inspiring emulation. Dr Onyechi Ikpeazu, the legal
torchbearer that exacted justice for then Governor Peter Obi whose mandate was
stolen—disrupting the electoral system as we have it today. Dr Oby Ezekwesili,
former World Bank Vice-President and Minister of Education, has remained a
constant irritation to unproductive power. As Central Bank Governor, Professor
Chukwuma Soludo led a banking consolidation that changed the history of banking
in Nigeria. Innoson Motors is the brainchild of Innocent Chukwuma, the first
black man to own a vehicle manufacturing plant. While Dr Ernest
Azudialu-Obiejesi’s Nestoil is shifting paradigms in the energy sector—just like
Sir Emeka Okwuosa’s Oilserv Limited, Lady Stella Okoli is keeping the nation
healthy with Emzor Pharmaceuticals.
We have Pete Edochie’s footprints all over Nollywood and broadcasting, and Chika
Okpala, a.k.a. Zebrudaya, as the godfather of Nigerian comedy. Mary Onyali and
Mikel Obi are inspiring a generation in sports, while Phyno, P-Square, and
Flavour are keeping them entertained. Osita Osadebe showed the world that music
is capable of both entertainment and philosophy. In transportation, we have,
among others, Chief Godwin Okeke’s GUO Motors, and Vincent Obianodo’s Young
Shall Grow Motors. We have Ndidi Nwuneli in Sahel Capital, LEAP Africa, and AACE
Foods. Chief Emeka Anyaoku turned the Commonwealth of Nations into a rebranding
instrument for the black race. Prof. Emeritus P.N Okeke is one of those holding
our notability in science. In all walks of life, Ndi Anambra have established
presence changing the landscape. We should be proud; we should also ensure to
mentor this tradition of achievement into the youth of Igboland.
The Igbo have been dubbed the hope and future of Africa. Never mind our
limitations and the dents, the energy survives, and those who have come to
symbolize it should be appreciated to point the youth to the direction leading
to honour and glory. The team in charge of the 100 Anambra Achievers initiative
is poised to illuminate the obscurity of honest achievement and inspire the
youth to follow suit. We are proud of individuals making Anambra proud through
personal actualizations that positively shift the fortunes of the people. We are
proud of those making Ndigbo proud in a diversity of immortal service that
expands the vista of our civilization. We are proud of all our people surpassing
themselves as Friedrich Nietzsche urged humanity, those who, by creating value
bigger than themselves, have stopped mortality from eventually having the final
say on their lives. We congratulate them all and wish them a Happy International
Achievers Day!
