Leadership should not be entrusted to children.From the time Ngwa people succumbed to the pressure of youth leadership things fell apart.A monster who called himself utu became hero, was honoured in almost all Ngwa Communities Thanks to those Traditional rulers who never succumbed.Today the truth is glaring utu is a scam a cheap trick that devastated Ngwa Land, rendered many people homeless,caused untimely deaths the length and ,breath of Ngwa Land
