These
torrents of commendations on the respected Igbo leader in Lagos is
because for two weeks running, he threw his palace open for the community to
troupe in and troupe out with food thereby cushioning the effect of the total
lockdown of the country due to the Corona pandemic ravaging the world
presently.
Aside from his fellow Ndi Eze Ndigbo in Lagos and across the country who have sent in letters of goodwill on the philanthropic gesture of Eze Nwoye, President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos High Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene stormed Obi Ndigbo recently to personally pat him on the back for setting the pace in philanthropy in his community of residence.

Via a well circulated social media message, indigent residents of Ejigbo converged daily at the palace of Eze Nwoye to receive welfare gifts items.
Uncountable
tubers of yams, cartons of noodles, spaghetti as well as other food items and drinks
were shared daily amongst the community members who went home elated with hopes
and assurances for the family’s next meal.
In a brief
chat with Eze Alex Nwoye, he said he was moved by the suffering of Nigerians
due to the sit at home order by the federal government to control the spread of
the virus.
According to
him,” the fear of the corona pandemic is real and all should abide by the
federal and Lagos government directive to prevent its further spread. Washing and
sanitizing of the hands, social distancing and self isolation is still key.
What we are giving out to the less privileged people is our widows mite to
families who may not have enough at this time.
