Matrimonial issues in Okunanoland. A poser!

What is the right of a second wife over the estate of her deceased husband? 

Especially where the first wife bore the first son of the family?

Help us provide portable water for Okunano Osagwede communities

In Okunanoland, we have always sourced water from the community streams and rivers…but as urbanization has emerged to envelope us, our streams have dried up. what is left of the rivers are now polluted water and no good for drinking. All over the clan, are worries about outbreaks of waterborne diseases, such as scabies or Zika, which is transmitted by mosquitoes breeding in standing water.  Only 45% of the residents have access to clean drinking water, and just 10 percent of wastewater treatment plants (popularly known as"Pure-water" packed in polythene satchet) are working, according to figures released by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control-NAFDAC In the worse-hit communities, such as the Amechi Awkunanaw, Amechi-Uwani and Obeagu Awkunanaw  doctors are seeing worrying numbers of patients with conjunctivitis and gastritis brought on by contaminated water and poor hygiene."

And 10 years ago when he joined the saints, beyond Awkunanaw, the world was aware that that a star had dimed but not his name, not his good deeds while on earth.
