“I’m not a fraudster”, Hope UZODINMA media aide Ambrose Nwaogwugwu affirms
Governor Hope UZODINMA Senior Special Assistant on creative media have narrated part of his history and travails in politics and media, in his Facebook page he stated “I joined Facebook in 2010, started following current affairs in 2011, and began writing about politics in 2012. Since then, I have remained consistent to this day.
I was awarded “The Most Vibrant and Social Media Informer of the Year” by Imo Social Media Searchlight Concept, an event organized by Mc Tboy Samuel and his boss, MC Banana Mouth….the first in Imo state social media community.
Same year, April 2014, I received my first political appointment as a media consultant to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu (may God continue to rest his beautiful soul).
This marks 15 years on Facebook and 13 years of political engagement here. And in all these years, not a single person can claim that Ambrose Nwaogwugwu has defrauded them of even 1 kobo.
When you mention my name, people may call me all sorts of things—praise singer, sycophant, data boy, or even Uzodimma’s slave—and I wear these names as a badge of honor. However, no one can associate my name with any form of scam or fraud.
Were it not for politics, my name would have remained completely unblemished. But in life, one must be known for something. Nevertheless, if my name is mentioned in my absence, it will never be linked to fraud or dishonesty.
You are defined by how people speak of you in your absence, not by what they say when you are present.
I urge young people to be cautious in their dealings and avoid anything that could tarnish their reputation. There are individuals whose names, when mentioned, immediately bring to mind multiple accusations of fraud and scam—and when several people say the same thing, they can’t all be wrong.
Young people must do better.
I was raised with the fear of God, and I have always refrained from anything that could bring dishonor to my name. While growing up, my mother constantly reminded us that our name is NWAOGWUGWU, a prestigious name that must never be stained….that out name is not good in mkporo ghieghie (whilstling). She emphasized that stealing, fraud, and deception are not in our lineage—a principle I uphold to this day.
Apart from politics, no human born of a woman can accuse me of any wrongdoing.
Young people must strive for a better way of life.
Yes, times are tough, but there is dignity in honest labor. Defrauding and scamming others is not labor—it makes you nothing but a thief.” he said
