I was caught in a dilemma this week, as Distinguished Senator (Dr.) Joy Emodi clocked 66 on Sunday, May 23, 2021, the same week her mother, Chief (Mrs.) Clementina Ekwutosi Emodi (Kwalie Aku), would be sown back to mother earth. Should I pay a deserving tribute to Distinguished Senator Emodi, Adadioramma Anaocha, Ada-Eji-Eje-Mba Aguleri, Kpakpando of Urum, Ada-Igbo-Gburu-Gburu of Umuchu, educationist, lawyer, entrepreneur, politician, and parliamentarian per excellence? Or should I celebrate the tree that begot the good fruit?

In my many years of interacting with political leaders, Senator Emodi is among those who represent everything a principled, disciplined, contented and courageous politician should be like.
