Tough Times Never Last But Tough People Do
I have tremendous respect for the man who picks up an idea, stands by it through thick and thin till the idea transforms into reality. That’s the definition of a real man. Lily livered individuals capitulate at the least pressure. A person who had no blood in their liver would have no courage and would thus be a coward.
Some of our members who were audacious and loud when DD was around and suddenly became quiet at the peak of the moment should be reminded of the immortal words of Robert H. Schuller ” Tough Times Never Last, but Tough People do”. Our founder Emeka Ugwuonye will not only come out of this but will come out gallantly.
This trial will also give us the opportunity to profile the real supporters of DPA and those phoney individuals who at best can be described as dissemblers praising DD to high heavens yet they are empty. We do not deserve such people. We are serious minded people with steely determination and conviction. We stand by our conviction even when we are threatened.
Emeka Ugwuonye will soon come out. Efforts are on top gear. One thing you should know is that Ugwuonye has a unique orientation. Something that scare many people does not scare him. He does not have plenty money but does not see that as a problem. To him, “Lack of money is a thing of mind set”. In Nigeria as well as most African countries, lack of money is a serious impediment to accomplishing one’s purpose but in Western World, it’s a different case. You can achieve your purpose as long as you are clear on what you want.
It is this western concept that Ugwuonye wants to replicate here. No doubt, it’s taking a huge toll on him. Here, everything is quantified in terms of money. But he never allowed any of these to discourage.
Our members that visited him last week sought his opinion on how he feels about the huge amount of money his trial is gulping and the fact that the resources for efficient defence of his case are scarce which may affect the flow of the trial:
Emeka laughed ” Before I took this course, I understand clearly the price that comes with it. If a man of my social standing is standing similar trial in the U.S, he may not spend a Kobo from his pocket. The Legal support system in the U.S is effective. I am highly optimistic that I never considered the lack of money as something that will ever stop DPA from seeking justice for Cha-Cha”
” DPA is set to change the mindset and reorients our people. Nothing stops a man who is well determined. The means will come. I am proud of our members. They have responded in ways I never imagined. I tell you one thing, DPA is unstoppable”. He declared.
