The former corps marshal of the Federal Road Safety Osita Chidoka over the weekend emulated Jesus Christ by feeding 5,000 people during the new yam festival in his hometown, Obosi in Anambra state, Vanguard reports. While Christ fed the multitude with five loaves of bread and two fishes, Chidoka symbolically fed 5,000 children with five tubers of roasted yam and two plates of palm oil.
The palm oil which the yam was dipped into before feeding the children was garnished with pepper, oil bean (ugba), and dried fish among others. Chidoka celebrating his annual Obiora Obosi as a member of the Obosi royal cabinet said the Igbo cultural heritage must not be allowed to go extinct.
