Friends and associates have not stopped sending ‘thank you’ messages to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, UNICAL, Professor Florence Banku-Obi who recently commissioned a research work on the Ogoja-born activist, lawyer, politician and man about town, Dr. Dorncklaimz Enamhe.
Prof Banku-Obi had on Friday, June 25, 2021, stated that she would commission a research project on the person of Dorncklaimz Enamhe, to really unveil the enigma.
Her statement followed a post on Facebook by Dr. Enamhe in memory of the late music legend, Michael Jackson. Enamhe had written:
“Love him or hate him
He was the best in the entire world
For Me He changed my life
I tried to be like him
I tried to dance like him
At a point I could dance to every step in his videos
I even wanted to carry his hair style
Speak like him
And be as rich as him
He never got angry
His smile was electric
His voice was magic
He was the best, in everything he did
Presidents of countries would wait to receive him
He took the Grammys and all the awards they ever was
I made my first money trying to dance like him
I got into the plane for the first time because I needed to dance at the John Players National Disco Finals in Lagos
Only two men could afford to own TV sets in the entire Ogoja, but MJ made them watch me on National TV
I became a local celebrity because of MJ
Micheal Jackson you are my hero,any day,any time
Can you Beat it?
He died on this day June 25th
May the gentle soul of this Icon continue to rest in perfect peace
Amen
My best song of MJ was Thriller
My best dance step of MJ was the backslide
What was yours ?

In a surprise reaction, the Vice Chancellor had replied, “I want to sponsor a research work on the man DC Enamhe. Many of us need to know the real DC. The study should be on “DC that was, and never was, DC that is and the misunderstood DC”. All research expenses covered.
A five page proposal should be posted on my Facebook page for open assessment of the best proposal.

University of Calabar.”
For those who do not know him, loyal, integrity, goal getter, reliable ally, are all the kind words that have been used to describe Dr. Dorncklaimz Enamhe at one time or the other.
Those who are close to him, say he is perhaps the most patriotic fellow ever to have come out of Cross River, going by his activities and mantra of Think Cross River First.
Dr. Enamhe, a former Chief of Staff to the Deputy Governor of Cross River State, is the Founder of the ‘Think Cross River’ forum as well as the coordinator, Aya Beach Carnival, an annual event in Ogoja. He was foundation member and Convener of the PDP in Cross River State.
Sir Enamhe is a former Governorship aspirant, is the National President, Association of Professional Negotiators and Mediators, APNM and holds degrees in Agriculture, Public Administration, Education, Environmental Science Law and Sociology.
He is currently Deputy Director DOBOC, the directorate of Businesses on campus and a Catholic Knight of the old St. John
