What is required on the part of the leaders is a genuine concerted effort, serious hard work and a lasting commitment to severe the leash on the beast and inspire its return to the old glory. It’s only by doing so that our region will be ready to put on notice those who have been holding the tiger by its tail.
Even though one was not privy to the discussion held at the Owerri summit of the Southe-East governors, it was not lost on me why Agu (insert your choice of tiger, Lion or Leopard) would become the favoured totem for the regional security outfit.

Ebube Agu!: A Caged Tiger Has No Claim To Glory, By Osmund Agbo
Even though one was not privy to the discussion held at the Owerri summit of the southeast governors, it was not lost on me why Agu (insert your choice of Tiger, Lion or Leopard) would become the favored totem for the regional security outfit. Every serious student of Igbo culture knows too well that there is a special place for the wild cat in the people’s mythology.
Agu is powerful, brave, undaunted and approaches life without fear. Which is why it’s not uncommon among Ndigbo to hear a praise name such as Omekagu (one-who-acts-like-the-Tiger), Isi-Agu (the traditional outfit so-called because of the Tiger head pattern on the fabric) and Agu na eche mba (the mighty Tiger that watches over nations and tribes). In fact, a good number of the people even bear Agu as their surname.
