Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu, on April 29, expressed deep concern over the present fractured Naga society, inter-ethnic conflict, insurgency and other anti-social elements that plague our Naga society today.
He made a fervent call to Pochury brothers to come forward to promote and work together for the unity of the Nagas.
The State Planning Board (SPB) deputy chairman Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu was speaking as the chief guest of the silver jubilee of Müluo Shefüri Kügharü (MSK) celebrated with pomp and zest here today at Meluri Local Ground.
Azo also congratulated the Meluri area youth for achieving a huge milestone at the completion of 25 vibrant and fruitful years.
He along with his entourage -the Phek area people, Azo said had come not only to celebrate and share the joy with them “but also to show their solidarity and support to the Meluri area youth and not forgetting the Pochury people as a whole.”
He pointed out that the word ‘Jubilee’ is extracted from the Bible, and a jubilee year signifies a year of restoration and liberation “par excellence”, a call for reconciliation as indicated in the Bible.
Azo highlighted that the Chakhesangs were a life-long supporter, a friend and a true brother to the Pochury people.
“The Chakhesangs and Pochurys were one and have long since shared a connected history. They shared similar socio-economic setbacks and struggles in the past and even in the present context, they face similar challenges, ambitions,” he said.
He also expressed positively that together they can achieve great heights and harvest a fruitful and promising future together. He maintained that unity is the key word to success, peace and prosperity. “With unity come development, empowerment, positive changes, strong leadership and victory,” he said.
He recalled that long ago, the Chakhesangs were better known as Eastern Angamis but later in the year 1946, it become a seperate tribe with the blessings of their elder brother Angamis.
Till now the Chakhesangs and Angamis still maintain a close brotherly relationship, he said.
Likewise, Azo pointed out that some decades ago, Chakhesangs and Pochurys were also one but latter were separated from the former, and was recognized as a separate tribe with the blessings of the Chakhesangs on 1990.
“Since then, there was nothing stopping our Pochury brothers and today you have excelled in all aspects, not far from outshining all other major tribes in Nagaland,” he maintained.
“Your success story today only goes on to prove that you are one truly blessed tribe for which we Chakhesangs are remarkably happy, proud and we as brothers applaud your success. Since time immemorial, we have shared the best relationship, the spirit of oneness and brotherhood,” he said.
“Let us not forget our roots and further divide ourselves, but continue to maintain the brotherly relationship as our forefathers did to set an example to the rest of Nagas,” Azo further challenged.
Phek Area Public Organization (PAPO) president Vezhehu Vero in his greetings stressed on the need to continuously maintain age-old relationship between Chakhesangs and Pochurys.
