The Soul of New Jersey A tribute by M. O. Ené to the Momahs, Nnabuenyi Nnewi & Arunne, on their relocation from New Jersey, USA, Saturday, February 18, 2006
Arunne, the only Adaigbo without number: Not one comes close to sharing the chamber The mother of all that deserve motherliness You are the jubilation of fabulous fairness
Nnabuenyi, the uncomplicated great giver: Above Udi Hills and across the Niger River The Umuahian with no mean bone in his body The tall tower of truth, ezi enyi to everybody
Arunne and Nnabuenyi, we all say: You are the soul of our New Jersey The moral mainstay of Igbo community The peak pebbles that sustain our sanity
At some peculiar point in our lifelong mission We stop to say something at a unique occasion Something special, something to soothe the sole… What is to say now that sanity has lost its soul?
Arunne, nne bu nne ora Nnabuenyí, enyě ka ora Ani chebe unu; udo diri unu Ka Chi dube ma gozie unu!
