not exactly a scrapped project, but had a sideplot going on

[kemetic-dreams]

The story of an Igbo hustler:

Joseph Chukwuka Ulasi, hailed from Nnewi in Anambra state. Born in 1890 and died 1944.

He was nicknamed "O ji ụkwụ eje Aba" because of his unflinching hustling spirit as a young Igbo boy determined to make it in life and of which he eventually did by becoming the most successful transporter from South East.

He regularly traveled on foot from Nnewi to Aba in mid-1920's in search of fortune (O ji ụkwụ eje Aba). At Aba he traded in textiles and produce, slowly and painstakingly building a solid asset base by setting up roadside stalls along the popular Aba Road. He would recruit apprentices from Nnewi at one stage, up to sixty. By 1933, he had built up a fleet of six lorries, which he deployed into a road haulage business which earned him a mail delivery contract for the Eastern Provinces. He made fortune from the Mail delivery contract which helped him to up his fleet of lorries from 6 to 14 as at 1935.

The name of his Transport Company is J.C Ulasi Motors, a household name in the 1930s. He became a Warrant Chief at Aba and died in June 1944. His kinsman Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu was to succeed him as the King of the road haulage business by the formation of his legendary Ojukwu Transport Company in 1937. Chief. J.C Ulasi tremendous success as a transporter also inspired his cousin, Late. Chief Ejikeme Ilodibe of "Ekene Dili Chukwu" to emerge as a transport magnate. JC Ulasi died a wealthy Igbo transporter, he was the first Nigerian to venture in to Transport business and it played out well for him. Many others toed his path.

You have now known the story behind that popular nomenclature "O ji ukwu eje Aba"

Artfight thumbnails! The primary humans in the book series I've been writing. In order; Deirdre, Imogene, Desislava, Ekene, Ciaran, and High Priest Santos II.

Size is 200x200 pixels for Artfight's thumbnail file sizes.

Some names in tags come from conlangs I made for fictional Indigenous cultures. They may look similar to existing languages, but from what I know they are not.

Will eventually get a toybox all set up with more info.

“demek ki göçtü usta kaldı yürek sızısı geride kalanlara” Bir değerimizi daha kaybettik. Genco Erkal’ı... Hayatını tiyatroya adayan, yeri doldurulamayacak, aydın düşünceli bir insandı Genco Erkal. İleri yaşına ve hastalığına rağmen sahnede müthiş bir enerjiyle oynayarak Türk tiyatrosuna kattıklarıyla ayakta alkışlanmayı fazlasıyla hak eden sanatçılarımızdan bir tanesiydi. Ve Nâzım Hikmet’ten sorumlu şiir bakanı gibiydi aynı zamanda. Çok sevip çok dinledik ondan şiirler ve memnun kaldık pek. Şiirler güller içinde uyusun büyük usta. “Şimdiden çekilecek acısı bunun, duyulacak mahzunluğu şimdiden. Böylesine sevilecek bu dünya “Yaşadım” diyebilmen için...” * * * Genco Erkal (28 Mart 1938, İstanbul - 31 Temmuz 2024, İstanbul) - Görsel: Hakan Eken (Genco Erkal)
