Obe Self help Loading Dock at Ozara, Amankalu and Amuke Amakpo

OBE
According to Michael J. C. Echeruo Igbo-English Dictionary is Ladder, any scaffolding, rafter post or plank used in house construction and other trades scaffolding, climbing rope, cross crucifix. Igbo Basics describes Obe as simply a kind of self-help loading dock, used in bush craft survival techniques. Obe is significantly used in situations when the bearer of a load has no help. Obe is is found mostly in farms, bush trails, or forest areas of Igbere and other parts of Bende Local Government, Abia State, Nigeria.
As part of the Ozara Amankalu Project embarked upon by OSA with Chief Alexander Nkwere Iheke (Opiegbe) who recently enabled the construction of some Obe at Ozara Amankalu and Ala Amakpo to provide the much needed assistance for farmers, hunters, traders and other rural travelers and bearers of loads such as firewood, abo-nkwu etc. This ties in with our vision of creating or providing rest stops as necessary approach to attract constant human and vehicular traffic presence
at Ozara Amankalu Igbere. Other subtle amenities are in the works as a prerequisite to the plan for building the proposed Municipal Complex at Ogbonta Ozara Amankalu.
