Heralding The Super Philanthropist, Ikenga Of Umuchu Town, Chief Abraham Otti 

P.M.EXPRESS spotlights that Chief Otti also known as Afuonu, is a typical phenomenon that would easily be described as ‘charity begins from home’ icon and indeed has been putting smile on the faces in his family, kindred, village, town, State and indeed Nigeria.

Chief Otti, Ikenga of Umuchu, came from a humble family, grew up from grass to grace but did not forget his background. He knew that there are people behind in the community who needed succour and he began what Umuchu people described as ‘Super Philanthropic’ gestures.

The youths in Umuchu are happy with Mighty Mighty for providing their pressing needs. The aged men and women in Umuchu and its environs pray for Chief Otti for providing health facilities that take care of their health challenges. The poor sing praises of Afuonu too because he provides them with food items that make life meaningful and the churches are not left out on the benevolence of Chief Otti. No wonder the traditional ruler of Umuchu, His Royal Highness, Eze G.O.Ezechukwu, conferred him with the high chieftaincy title, Ikenga of Umuchu.

Apart from various charity works over the years, the massive road construction going on in Umuchu villages since 2021 courtesy of Abraham Otti, he has been the talk of the town. Some parts of Ibughubu and Achalla are for the first time witnessing tarred road in the history of the community and there had been shower of praises and prayers for Otti. Some for lack of words have described him as ‘God sent’ to liberate Umuchu town, while others call him the ‘living charity man with the heart of gold’.

The President General of Umuchu Improvement Union Representatives Assembly (UIURA), Sir Charles Ezenwabasili, captured the mood of the people on Chief Abraham Otti.

In the message of commendation signed by Sir Charles Ezenwabasili and the General Secretary, Sir Emma Maduakor,  they showered praises on him and described him as a huge blessing to Umuchu town.

The message of commendation stated thus:

“Chief Abraham Ikechukwu Otti, like every other home-bred citizen, was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but passed through excruciating start-up difficulties going through his Primary/Secondary education in OkpunachaIIa, Umuchu. He passed through the normal apprenticeship process to become an independent business man. By act of providence and dint of hard work, he rose above his peers to build a business empire, becoming a star.”

“Today, he has turned out a huge blessing not only to Umuchu town but to humanity in general, to the extent he has become the envy of many communities.”

“Having enormous wealth is one thing, but having the large heart to serve humanity with it, is another. Mighty Mighty, as he is fondly called, has done exceptional things bothering on philanthropy;

* developed and expanded his father’s estate

* provided modern shelter and support for many living in penury and squalor

* built an ultra-modern church – the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, AchalIa-Umuchu

* made gifts of exotic cars to many, including Priests

* empowered many youths with Motorcycles, Tricycles and Buses

* offered scholarship to many students in his kindred

* anchored annual cultural promotion competitions with life changing prizes to outstanding winners

* helped the poor with clothing and stomach infrastructure (in December 2022, he offloaded a trailer load of 50kg bags of rice which were distributed to both natives and non-indigenous residents in Achalla village)

* has been taking care of his village elderly people of 80 years and above with milk and beverages.

“Mighty Mighty crowned it all with the construction of a quality Asphalt Road with dual drainage running from Achalla to Ibughubu and intersecting the Umuchu-Umunze Road. It would be recalled that he has been grading Achalla roads for years before the present asphalt level.”

“As if not enough, he is still spoiling for more life uplifting engagements with the people and more social infrastructure. He is contemplating a Mini-Stadium at OkpunachaIIa.”

“Chief Abraham Ikechukwu Otti (Mighty Mighty), the UIURA and entire Umuchu Town use this opportunity to express deep appreciations for your kind gestures and high sense of philanthropy. Indeed, you are a rare blessing to our town. Your name will never leave the compendium of ‘who is who’ in Umuchu Town. Keep up your good works for posterity reason.”

“Long live Chief Abraham Ikechukwu Otti!

Long live Mighty Mighty N’Umuchu!!”
