“If we all plant trees, especially fruit trees and edible plants, we would eat healthy and wealthier. I have worked in villages mostly, and I have seen that this campaign changes everything in the first year at each new location.”

The cleric and author, who describes himself as a retired artist who still paints with words, and a ‘wordadventurist’ who mines the ancient epistemic walls of wisdom in Igbo proverbs and philosophy, noted that “unless we plant trees intentionally and consciously, when we build houses and modernization creeps in, we will be cutting down the trees inherited from nature and the ones our forefathers planted.

“So, I am seriously worried of what the environment will look like when we cut off all the trees. In the villages where I have worked and where I’m now in Anambra State, you see people cutting trees to build houses. If this is not controlled, we may have what I call concrete jungle on our hands, where you see new sites springing up and paved with interlocks, which is very good but with no garden in our homes and mansions.
