Kamala Harris: An Adaptation of Kamalu Henrietta
Jarlath Uche Opara
Oftentimes it beats me how incredibly blessed the Igbo tribe is. So blessed, lifted and honoured beyond the comprehension of human intelligence however ingenious. I have heard many narratives of how Israel ( Jews) decended from the East.
Each time I reflect on the Nigeria/ Biafra war, the insiders’ betrayal, the external orchestrated pogrom, the starvation, the denial and subjugation and of course their never say die attitude, bouncing back mentality in a war or battle already concluded they would be crushed, I see in them that seed of great destiny divinely shielded from human destruction.
Take them to the mud of acidic composition they blossom. Throw them at the middle of a busy road under an intensed scorching of the sun they grow and produce with multiple harvest. Dug a 10feet hole and bury them, they germinate. Pull them out from where you think is flourishing them to a desert land, they grow, boom and blossom turning the desert into a land of milk and honey.
They are like those missionaries. They come looking for a place to stay. You give them cursed and watches inhabited land thinking it would consume and cripple them. Like a magic, the land becomes a sight to behold, attracting envy, hate and attack on them.
They have that wand, that magic and divine wand that turn everything about them into gold. They may not be at the helm but they are not less endowed than those at the helm.
They may not be holding the totem of National Power, but they are powerful enough to collapse system if their industry and interprise services are withdrawn for days.
However bad an economy is and the inflation rate pole vaulting, their :isi ewu and Ngwobi” delicacies with chilled champagne remain untampered.
They are irrepressible, unconquerable and care-less about your witch-hunt for their power , strength and motivation are beyond human manipulations.
If the Presidency of this great Country is too difficult, complex and highly tribslized for them to get it, getting the USA Presidency through our sister Kamala Harris ( Kamalu Henrietta) would be consoling.
Kamala Harris( Kamalu Henrietta)has achieved several key accomplishments throughout her career:
Kamala Harris( Kamalu Henrietta) is from the United States. She was born in Oakland, California, and has served as a U.S. Senator from California and as the Vice President of the United States. Kamala Harris is the first female, first Black, and first Asian American Vice President in U.S. history. She has achieved the following
1. **First Female Vice President**: Kamala Harris made history as the first female Vice President of the United States.
2. **First Black Vice President**: She is also the first Black Vice President in U.S. history.
3. **First Asian American Vice President**: Kamala Harris is the first Vice President of Asian American descent.
4. **U.S. Senator**: Before becoming Vice President, Harris served as a U.S. Senator from California.

6. **District Attorney**: Earlier in her career, Harris served as the District Attorney of San Francisco and later as the Attorney General of San Francisco.
These accomplishments highlight Kamala Harris’s ( Kamalu Henrietta) Dedication to public service and her trailblazing roles in American politics.
From all her achievements,resilience, industry, never say never spirit which one can easily see from the lenses of Igbo blood; it will then not sound strange and unusual if the great- great- great ancestors of Kamala Harris ( Kamalu Henrietta) is traced to South East and Owerri to be precise. She is our Sister in diaspora.
