A detribalized Nigerian with Ibo parents who can as well claim to be a Northerner as she was born at the Specialist Hospital situated in Jimeta-Yola the State capital of Adamawa State in the North Eastern region of Nigeria. Monica who hails from Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State is the first child of Chief and Evang. (Mrs.) Augustine Eze.

Public Service/Politics :
With this Amazon of a lady in mind, Ann Tran stated and I quote, “Humility, gentleness, and helpfulness go so much further and open doors you cannot imagine. Think from a higher level and try to see beyond today. Some hard work and insight will bring you to paths that will reward you so highly, it’ll make the little inconvenience you incurred so worth it.”
Monica is a reputable Blogger and Publisher and in line with Ann Tran’s quote is a workaholic, philanthropist per excellence, humane, humble and obedient person whose weaknesses is kindness. She is kind to a fault but resists anybody who wants to take advantage of her kindness and humane nature. She loves being committed to anything entrusted in her hands and appreciative of whatever one does for her no matter how little it is. This lady whose writings have assisted so much in propagating the ideals and vision of the Ebonyi State Government under the able leadership of her uncle, Engr. (Dr) Dave Nweze Umahi ( FNATE, FNSE) is the President/Founder of David Umahi Nweze Akubaraoha Ebonyi Transformation Agenda (DUNAETA) a vibrant, virile grassroots NGO whose main aim is to ensure growth of democracy in Nigerian and promotion of her boss, His Excellency Engr. (Chief) Dave Nweze Umahi) and his government.
Her article titled, “How Umahi Turned Ebonyi Into One Huge Construction Site” is a must read anytime any day and have since her appointment wrote over fifty inspiring articles on the positive activities of the present administration in Ebonyi State.
This fiery lady is a member of the greatest political movement in Africa the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was the immediate past Technical Adviser (TA) on Media to the Ebonyi State Governor; she is known in some quarters as Ada Ebonyi.
Monica and her mission:
According to Laozi, one of the greatest Philosophers of all times with Monica in mind, “I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Within the period under review, I was able to form and join a lot of Social Media groups be it Facebook, Instagram, vimeo, printest, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter etc in order to circulate releases and information pertaining to the activities of Governor Umahi and his administration in Ebonyi State to the entire world.
According to this lady of the moment, “Apart from my normal work schedule, I have gone extra miles to introduce live media stream of all the events that I attend. I have established a website through which I use to publish my works and most of the press statements from the Ebonyi State Government and Ministries. These feats notwithstanding, I have the singular honour to have kickstarted my pet project to reach out to Aged parents in six (6) Local Government Areas in Ebonyi State while other places that have not been reached will be visited soon.
Conclusion
I am happy to celebrate and present this workaholic, an Amazon of high repute to the world on this auspicious day of her birthday even as I pray that God will bring out the best in her in coming years In Jesus Name.
Happy Birthday Lady Monica my beloved Sister! Happy birthday Ada Ebonyi!! Happy birthday the fiery lady of Pen!!!*
