Mbaise USA Convention 2024: Aguwa and Iwuh Vie for Top Spot as Community Celebrates Culture and Tradition in North Carolina

The 2024 Mbaise USA Convention is set to take place in North Carolina from July 10th to 14th, and the excitement is building! Diaspora Watch can report that this year’s event promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a packed schedule of activities, cultural celebrations, and a highly anticipated presidential election. Two distinguished candidates, Alozie A. Aguwa and Chief Sir Wilson Iwuh, are vying for the top spot, each offering a unique vision for the future of Mbaise USA.

The convention will kick off with an innovation workshop and leadership forum, then a bang at the Mbaise Millennials Mega Gala and Extravaganza, showcasing the vibrant culture and traditions of the Mbaise community. The event will feature stunning performances, delicious cuisine, and a chance for members to connect and celebrate their heritage. As the convention progresses, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in various activities, including seminars, workshops, and town hall meetings. These events will focus on topics such as economic empowerment, healthcare, and education, providing a platform for members to share ideas and address pressing issues. The presidential election will take center stage in the course of the convention.

Alozie A. Aguwa and Chief Sir Wilson Iwuh will present their visions and qualifications to the membership, each hoping to secure the top spot. Aguwa’s “Forward Progress Mbaise” campaign promises to expand funding sources, complete the Medical City (Medville Project) in Nigeria, and develop programs to enhance skills and opportunities for Mbaise people. Iwuh’s comprehensive vision focuses on economic empowerment, healthcare, and education, with initiatives such as planting palm and coconut trees, building emergency care units, and increasing scholarships for high school graduates. Both candidates have impressive resumes and a deep commitment to the Mbaise community. Aguwa’s extensive experience in tax accounting and corporate management, combined with his philanthropic efforts through Human Touch International, Inc., make him a strong contender. Iwuh’s leadership experience and achievements in establishing a hall for the Mbaise Family Association and providing scholarships demonstrate his dedication to the community.

As the Mbaise USA community gathers in North Carolina, they will not only be celebrating their rich culture and traditions but also shaping the future of their organization. The 2024 convention promises to be an unforgettable experience, and the election will be a testament to the community’s commitment to progress and development. Will Aguwa’s “Forward Progress Mbaise” vision prevail, or will Iwuh’s comprehensive approach win the day?  The decision lies in the hands of the membership, and the world will be watching as Mbaise USA charts its course for the future.

Echoes Of Unfulfilled Promises In Nigeria’s Journey

Published

on

By

As Nigeria commemorates its 64th Independence anniversary, the stark contrast between celebration and the persistent challenges of corruption, mismanagement, and unfulfilled promises becomes evident.

The editorial revisits historical attempts at reform, such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission’s (ICPC) prosecutions and the House of Representatives’ inquiry into the unfulfilled $14.5 million aircraft repair contract. Many of these initiatives have faded from public memory, leaving questions about accountability unresolved.

High-profile corruption cases, including the Halliburton scandal involving alleged bribes of $180 million, highlight systemic failures within the political landscape.

The editorial emphasizes the need for collective action from citizens, civil society, and the media to demand transparency and accountability. It warns that without addressing these entrenched failures, Nigeria’s path toward democracy and good governance may continue to be fraught with unfulfilled promises.
