IHEANETU CHIOMA

IHEANETU CHIOMA A.K.A Mumcy

Although i prefer to call her Mumcy because of her advancement in age and the fact that indeed she has her own Children, most of whom are grown ups, Madam Chioma is a highly motivated Woman, whose quest for knowledge and probably an advancement in social status led her to study in the Univeristy even when most people in her age bracket would resent to do so.

Mumcy was the Course representative or Class governor for 3 out of the 4 years we spent in School. Although like every other leader else where, she was criticized and nearly crucified by some revolutionary elements in the Class, what is however unarguable is that she also deserve to be commended for taking up such a responsibility willingly, even when she could have easily reneged from doing so in favour of her other more pressing and financially rewarding responsibilities both to her family and business.

Unexpectedly for her age, she had a good rapport with practically everyone in the class. Her dress sense was even better off than some younger folks, even as her immense interest in the acquisition of knowledge and education cannot be described by mere words. Infarct her ever increasing quest for knowledge meant that she graduated with a better result than some other younger members of the class. Although this write up may seem patronising and biased, however it is
important that praise be heaped upon whomsoever is deserving of it.

Apart from her travails with someone who later emerged as her successor and a handful of other minor scuffles, Mumcy was largely disengaged from any form of friction with anyone and in some cases emerged the mediator between different warring factions in the class.

On a final note, Mumcy and i were keenly acquainted, she had this unusual interest in me, mainly because we both are not just from the same ethnicity, but also from the same state. Her words of advise and encouragement did not go unnoticed, nor did they prove un-useful, on the whole, She was a fine example of motivation and determination, an example which i never hope to forget but on the contrary, continually emulate.
