The first to speak at the Community Development of Consciousness was Mr. Alex Okonma that a strong call for the dissemination of information which it considers would like improve the spirit of community awareness of the development, agrees of the average man Ibuse missing. Empowering young people to think along these lines was recommended by him. Mr. Peter Egbuchua drag along this line, but significantly lamented the fact that Ibuse is a community with the largest number of teachers and academics, however, this community has no single tertiary institution itself, located in the city. He blamed the situation Ibuse ugly people who have never thought of this, warning that something in this avenue to be done to give the community a tertiary institution.

Ibuse that people retire and not return home to be part of the system, which further argued that a sector that continues to negatively affect the city terms of development because people Ibuse allowing others to rule over them.

He was quick to point out that Ibuse have a problem as a people, and our fathers have failed us, but that modifications are absolute necessary to correct this, which is quite the reason that a meeting is underway in Lagos between the V10 and the body of professionals headed by Ibuse Mr. Ike Nwabuoku, with himself (Amatokwu) is the Community Relations Staff between Lagos and Ibuse. This arrangement is expected to correct a lot mistakes of our elders. He sought authorization from "Egbeni" (Vigilante Local Group) on payment of monthly salaries.

His advice is that parents guide their children to be useful Ibuse society in particular and the nation in general.

Several other discussants also aired their views about the situation Ibuse but is a strong power of the whole world that Ibuse society is suffering, and this can be corrected if only we approach it with seriousness genuine concern and sincerity. The commitment of all is required if it is to be achieved, after all, no one is too small to contribute.

He also thanked members of the Association equally Ibuse who visited him and said he was delighted in the topic of "socio-cultural development iBus", he said was what I needed Ibuse. Ibuse has been said that some elements of development if we consider the achievements of our illustrious sons and daughters who are achievers in their various endeavors of life.
