Human Rights Activist, Maxwell Opara Receives Award Of Honour As “Ezi Nwanne” From His Kinsmen In Imo State [PHOTOs}

A Legal Practitioner & Human Rights Activist, Mr Maxwell Opara
has been honoured by his kinsmen in a very grand style in Imo
State.

Mr Maxwell has bagged several awards in recent times and this
present one seems to be of a great delight to him, coming from his
own kinsmen.

The activist expressed his heartfelt appreciation in a statement
he made available to Nairalaw

“Truly I’ve been honoured by different groups and organisations
with about 36 awards both locally and internationally.

“Between 2nd week of December 2020 and this January 2021 alone,
I ve equally received 3 awards but among all these meritorious
awards and honours, the one I cherished so much is this one given
to me by elderly men and women of my Umuoparaehi Kindred in
Umuokazi Amuzi Ahiazu Mbaise Imo state on the 6th of January,
2021”, he said.

Meanwhile, he said he was thrilled to have been the first person
to bag the award of honour.

“During the presentation of the award by the oldest man and
woman in my Kindred, I was told that since the historical existence
of our kindred, I am the first and only person that has been
recognised with an award of Honour tagged “EZI NWANNE”.”

Besides, he stated that despite the fact that he was unavoidably
late to the venue, they were so compassionate to have waited for
him, as a mark of honor and an attestation to the fact that he is
placed on a high premium.

“The ceremony was scheduled to take off by 3pm that day but I
was able to arrive not until 7pm due to some other pressing
engagements but these elderly men and women whose children are
reputable well to do members of the society still stood back to
wait for a small man like me just to honour me.

“The general saying is that a prophet is recognised in his
village but my people has changed the narration to tell people that
a Prophet can be recognized by his kinsmen.

“I am so much delighted and as usual I hereby dedicate this
sacred award to God Almighty who made Heaven and Earth. To God
alone be the glory”, Maxwell Opara remarked.
