Enyaharo Social Club of Ovrode duly thank Almighty God for granting the members the wisdom to come up unanimously to think out the idea to start the project and saw us through in our collective desire to serve our dear community Ovrode in this unique form.
The club and all the people of Ovrode are grateful to Barrister B.O. Olokor. This is the man who made the people to realize the independent and the sovereignty of Ovrode. He also called for the formation of this club through Sylvester Olokor, for the purpose according to him to have a united leadership amongst those who may be taken over from his generation.
We are greatful to Late Odio Osiobe Udezi. He was the Odio-Ologbo of Ovrode at the time the work was started. We thank Late Odio Ojenimah Olokor and Late Odio Edeghe Ebedi for their indispensable oral information used in so many sections of this book. Late Simeon Omose Efeh should also be remembered. The documents he left behind proved his gallantry in his struggle for the emancipation of Ovrode.
The club is grateful to Mr. Patrick E. Ebedi for providing some religious information. Also Hon. Fredrick Ikpawona should be thanked for the information on Ovime’s early Sojoum to and from Evrheni.
The club salutes Hon. Anthony O. Agose for providing us with some detailed history of modern unionism in Ovrode.
The club posthumously salutes Mr. Felix Olokor, Lucky Omagufi and indeed Francis Ozuwo Ekaka. The club regrets losing their membership. We appreciate Mrs. Eseoghene Delekpe Omonuwa who tirelessly type and retype the manuscripts of this book.
The club salutes Dr. Dennis Evero for his unconditional effort in reviewing this book.
The club salutes Chief Boniface A. Enwonode on whose proposal this work was started.
We also thank the current President, Mr. Lucky Ogre Edoh for his co-operation in leading this club to this height.
The club deeply salutes Mr. Sonney Egbareluke Eture for his time, energy and resources he put together for the writing and realization of this project.
Above All, the club immensely salutes Sylvester Okworode Ojenimah Olokor for his wisdom in calling together people of like minds to form the club without which this golden achievement would not have come to Ovrode this early. We recognize and appreciate his total commitment and contribution in terms of time, energy and resources as he championed the writing of this book.
The club salutes you all.
