Perhaps Barr Ini Ememobong Essien never took notice of the camera of Imo Udo Ima
who was available at Ikot Ubo, closer to Government School, Use Ndon
when he posed with Miss Enobong Sunday James from Ibiatuk in Ibiono
Ibom.
Barr Ini Ememobong in his characteristic nature of being
down-to-earth simple with respect for the human person posed that day
with a little girl whose life God used him to touch.
In the words of
Uyai-Udofia Edidiong Francis, “God's Grace in the form of Ini Ememobong
found her [Miss Enobong Sunday James].
The story has it that she was
knocked down by a motor bike about two years ago, and was abandoned
until a minor wound that First Aid would have been enough [to heal] cost
her, her leg.
The leg which was infested by maggots got detached on it
accord, and Enobong still survived numerous infections at age 5. Grace
found her at age 7, bought her a wheelchair and still went ahead to
provide a limb for her.
“However, the limb was delayed because the
clinic had asked for a proper amputation, but Grace never neglected her
at that point even in this serious enough recession.
The conclusion
of the matter is; that Enobong now walks on two limbs without a
support. May God continue to bless[Barr] Ini Ememobong and his family
in Jesus name Amen.
Thank you Sir!”, Uyai-Udofia concluded.
Being moved by what God used Barr Ini Ememobong to do for the little girl, Chief Imo Udo Ima alias Duke of Uyo commented on one of the social media platforms[whatsapp group] thus, “Permit me to call your three names Ini Ememobong Essien.

You see you, God's blessings will never cease in your
life. I have followed you on so many occasions to your village and I
know this girl, I know the story. May God bless you..May God favour
you..Thank you for allowing God to use you and put smiles on the faces
of people.
See what carelessness and negligence can cause an
innocent girl? Thank you. Comrade. If I had known this,
I would have
given you a bigger hug when we met at the Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio's
Secretariat
In a face book
post, Barr Ini Ememobong posing with the picture above, has this to say,
“You remember her? Eno-obong- the girl with one leg whom we bought a
wheel chair for and later had to amputate and get a limb. To God's glory
she can walk unaided.
“My joy knows no bound. May I sincerely thank Chi Sandra-emejuiwe Ini Ememobong who has been my pillar and partner in this chosen path of putting smiles on the faces of others.
Uyai edidiong Francis has been a sister and friend. I'm sure you are very proud and happy to see her on her feet again.
“To everyone who encouraged and supported us in the task of bring this lovely gift of God back to her feet and put smiles on her face, I thank you.
More cases are pending - Uyai-Udofia Edidiong Francis pleases quicken the process, let's have some more good news.
“Let this poser bother you, if you don't help the people around you who need help, who will?”
Some persons our reporter chatted with about Barr Ini Ememobong said the young man has a teachable spirit, is humane, has a listening ear, and always on the side of the have nots and less privileged children and persons, but believes mostly in investing in the future of such persons.
He is the State Publicity Secretary of the PDP. Some say that in this young man lies a puzzle which answers reside in the future.
