“In this lengthy publication, I owe no apology to any individual(s) whose names are mentioned or Groups, the Community (ies), the L.G.As, the State and the Federal.. It is a reality of facts at several events for the way forward” Chief Y.O.C. Georgwill.
1. NIGERIANS PARTICULARLY OUR YOUTHS DON’T RESPECT ELDERS AND PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY.
Former Gen. Olusegu Obasanjo took over power as the Military Head of State of Nigeria after Dimka coup of 13 February1l976 that killed the then Military Head of state Gen. Murtula Muhammed for about 3 years and 229 days which ushered in civilian administration of Shehu Shagari on 1st October 1979.
As of now, our uninterrupted civilian regime from 29th May, 1999 to date, Chief Olusegu Obasanjo as civilian president, ruled for 8 years and destroyed completely the city of Odi in Bayelsa State and Uncountable lives lost and an inestimable properties were destroyed being the largest by size and population simply because the Youths demanded their rights on the neglect of their areas as one of the Treasure base of our Nation Nigeria in the Niger Delta region without any serious provocation.
And in 1978, Gen. Obasanjo being the military Head of State fully well the endowment of the Black Gold in all parts of Niger Delta Region promulgated a land_use decree to stop people from these areas not to control over their God given wealth to develop their places of abodes.
No Youth in the Niger Delta demonstrated and called Gen/President Obasanjo ole (thief) and all sorts of names at him in spite of uncountable provocations one cannot enumerate and at last, a Federal High Court gave judgment in favour of the people of Odi to the tune of about N38b. by the learned Judge who handled that case and ordered the money to be paid down by the Federal Authority, before it will go on appeal if it so desired to do so. And nevertheless, during President Obasanjo Civilian rule, he visited Rivers State alone about 18 times to commission non performed Peter Odili’s projects and carted away as alleged several biggest Ghana must go Bags of our hard earned currencies of the globe from Rivers State which he did not visit his home state Ogun or any other state(s) like that . And in spite of all these, the Youths of the Niger Delta did not called Obasanjo-OLE (thief) to date and as he stated also that Governorship election in Rivers State has K. legs in 2007.
But immediately President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan took over under a keenly contest election in 2011, the federal government decided the removal of oil subsidy to the present N97.00 per litre, the Youths in Yoruba land took up their arsenals far away south west to Abuja with heavy demonstration and called President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan all sorts of names including OLE (thief) last year. This is the only time a person from the Niger Delta had ruled our country- Nigeria. They did not stop there. They were sponsored by their political fugitives who perhaps saw that wonders had happened that they failed to respect President Jonathan. I may say, they looked down on the Niger Delta Region and its people.
And in recent times, due to what is happening in Rivers State, a literal Giant of our time and the first Noble Prize Winner in Africa and Nigeria in October, 1986 as well as an elder statesman, Prof. Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka visited Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State being his son by age to commensurate with him as to encourage him for what he believes as Governor of River State was passing through who is doing well stated about his safety in the state as he made a realistic and reasonable comments, the Youths of Rivers State without remembering his status in world history and position, insulted him tremendously. And again, another group of Northern Governors and South West Governors also did what Prof. Wole Soyinka did who are eminent Nigerians which they suppose to do, they were also abused by the Youths of Rivers State. This is most unfortunate in our history these days. During my age period, we as Youths, we respect Elders to the core.
Let me now refer to the Holy Bible, the highest book of all books in the world where no authority or philosopher(s) or prophet(s) had ever altered a phrase in any of the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation and its numerous chapters and verses, if our Youths are reading it as the divined literature, they could not have behaved the way they have done now.
Let them open the Holy Bible in Deuteronomy Chapter 5 verse 16 what the lord said to our Youths, and in so many places in the New Testament as repitions by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of what his father said as well as the prophets, “Honour your father and mother, as the Lord Your God has commanded you that your days be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord Your God is given you: and in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse I says, “Remember now Your Creator in the days of your youth before the difficult days come, and years drawn nigh when you say, I have no pleasure in them while the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are not darkened, and the clouds do not return after the rain”
Rivers State before 1999, our Youths are most respectful and law abiding across our nation Nigeria but because of Selfish personalities of late Dr. Marshall Harry, Chief A.K. Horsfall and Alabo Tonye Graham Douglas hoped to be more relevant and may become richer than others they forgot their mother land and brought in Dr. Peter Odili to come and rule Rivers State which broke down law and order as we are experiencing.
In Kalabari language, they call such people “Amadiriapu” meaning “sellers of the community to the enemies” against their illustrious brothers of Chief Sergeant Awuse and Hon. Ebenezer lsokarai. These eminent sons were core lkwerre and Kalabari of Rivers State respectively who can develop Rivers State like what Governor Amaechi is doing now, and Rivers State would have been like the developed countries in the western world for people of the globe to be holidaying as a Tourist centre for socioeconomic relevance etc. But Dr. Marshall Harry had paid his deed on 5/3/2003 in Abuja while Chief A.K. Horsfal and Alabo Tonye Graham Douglas are as silent as the grave today in Rivers State that their names could not future prominent in the local tabloids or national paper anymore.
I have challenged them before; they did not re-acted this. I have stated these times without number because I was in a delegate mission of Asari-Toru politicians who confronted them when Dr. Marshal) Harry was alive. One thing the public did not know about me and them is that, late Marshall Harry was a junior brother of my age, Chief A.K Horsfall from reliable source was born in 1942 and Alabo T.O Graham Douglas was born in 1938 and I was born in 1939 (16/1011939). Only one year Alabo T.O.Graham Douglas seniors me. And if no body say anything about them, I will do so by my age, exposure, a grassroots politician well respected to those who know me and above all, I came from humble families in Abonnema in Akulga, Angulama, Omekwe-Tariama from the Royal families in Asalga and as well as in Buguma and Bakana in Degema Local Government Area respectively without boasting myself.
I, as a writer, I will continue to write as long as I live for the preset generation who wants to learn and further their political and historical records for their vocabularies. And if money is all and all in life, Dr. Peter Odili, would have been the president of this country after the exits of President Olusegu Obasanjo on 29/05/2007 as he squandered our Rivers State money of his aim to achieve this feat since he is in control. But the Almighty God being Omni Science, Omni Potent and Omni Present in spite of how closed he was with erstwhile President Obasanjo, yet he did not considered him. This is the supreme work of the Almighty God. Where is Odili yea yea yea again? The state he ruled for 8 years and most powerful, he is afraid to come home and work freely as every citizen does. Because Peter Odili did not know God even though he is a knight in the catholic faith. I believe he did not read the Bible as I do, and like others. So I reference Psalm 62 verse 11 “God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God” including so many place I have read from Genesis to Revelation.
In this medium, I therefore advise Dr. Peter Odili the mentor to Governor Rotimi Amaechi, et him approach him when he is in office to gather Rivers people for him at the Diete Spiff civic centre to openly without shame or reservation and confess passionately for all what he did in Rivers State against River people for forgiveness and if he has done that, I direct him again also for a seven (7) days fasting and prayers from 6 am to 6 p.m for God to pardon him otherwise he will be irrelevant in the society no matter his wealth of loots in Rivers Treasury hence he used court not to probe him. I am not a prophet but God talks to me always even as I an writing in order to save his children no matter their trainings they will remain tramps forever unto 4th Generation thus says the Almighty God and not what I Chief Young Obene Clarke Georgewill is saying.
2. The Arrival of a New Governor in 2015 In Rivers State if At All Nigeria Will be One Nation.
Ah: I must be abused and highly castigated in different quarters of the entire 3 L.G.As of ‘my Kalabari kingdom. But at my 73 years on the planet earth, if a chief of my caliber known all over these L.G.As is afraid of abuse or to be castigated simply because I speak the truth then I am not worthy to live longer these years I have attained by Providence therefore 1 must defend justice and the defendless and the less privileged people of our contemporary society of ours. It is He who sent me into this world for a purpose(s) therefore I must accomplish it totally to speak the truth on his behalf who sent me and when I have completed it, I will, be called home by Him into the celestial kingdom where life is everlasting. Therefore I don’t mind whose ox is gored in this respect as follows: (a) The 2015 Governor of Rivers State is not for my Kalabari people come sun come rain; (b) Either President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan or his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan or Nyeson Wike perhaps hopes like that, it means they are not true democrats and leaders of our time. (c) The Kalabari where I come from both paternal and maternal, we sold our chance for porridge in 1998/1999 by the following personalities: late Marshall Harry, Chief A.K Horsfall and Alabo Tonye Graham Douglas. As I have no apology to them even though that the dead don’t speak again since it is real; (d) Therefore my Kalabari people should wait for 2nd round tenure to become Governor of Rivers State if another sons of these calibers shall not emerge again to fight against the unity and progress of the Kalabaris; (e) The said 2015 Governor of Rivers State is therefore for the Ogonis whether my Kalabaris like it or not and let our brothers and sisters in Ogoniland unite to give us one person and if it will be so thanks to them in advance; (f) And why it is for the Ogonis are; For they are one of the largest groups in Rivers State by population and by the L.G.As, disciplined and highly educated of our 16 different languages in Rivers State;
(G) For Rivers West Senatorial Zone where my Kalabari belongs has got their tenure through Dr. Peter Odili combined Harry, Horsfall, and Douglas cucidal combination; (h) And Rivers State East Senatorial Zone has also been occupied by Sir Celestine Omehia opportuned 5 months Governor of Rivers State.(26/0512007-2611 0/2007) (h-i) and presently, the visionary leadership of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is on the seat for the same Rivers South East; (i) While Rivers East senatorial zone had not taken their turn, therefore, 2015 Road to Government House in River State is indispensably and undisputably come sun come rain is for the Ogonis; whether we like it or not and it will be a waste in futility to fight for it by us and Abuja for the Almighty God would not allow us to get it; (j) But there is still a chance for my Kalabari people that is the deputy Governorship slot which is also indisputable is for the Kalabaris; To this end, candidate from Buguma, Abonnema, Bakana and Tombia should not aim of this deputy governor’s slot. And the Ogoni Guber candidate should never aim to get his deputy from the above mentioned communities of Kalabari because they have failed the Kalabari Kingdom since the creation of Rivers State 46 years ago minus, Late Barr. LG. lkiriko, of Buguma and Late Chief Somina Dagogo Jack of Abonneme and others alive for their selfless service to the Kalabari kingdom are: Hon. Ebenezer Isokariari, Hon. Paul Awoyesuku and Barr. Osima Ginah respectively. These are tested Kalabari Sons whose performances are beyond reasonable doubt as a recorder of history which I have stated partially in my writing in the past.
Therefore, the Deputy Governor shall, and must be Hon. Barr. Osima Ginah who served 31/2 years in Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi’s cabinet and performed creditably which touched some of the lives in all the 23 L.G.As citizens who came across to him no doubt. And for the Governor emerge from Ogoni Axis, he should not or never listen to Buguma, Abonnema, Bakana and Tombia citizens to choose one from their place. This is why we Kalabari are not relevant in Rivers State after 46 years ago for if not them especially Buguma and Abonnema, it is nobody else. They always want to be at the forefront and pocket individually all that is to be sited in the Kalabari L.G.As and at last arrange kidnappers to kidnap workers if such project is not given to them, this is so to this day.
The voting strength of all the other communities in Kalabari land supersedes their joint votes put together. The results are sound and clear for verification at the national population commission (NPC) if doubtful. The Buguma and Abonnema man especially shall not want somebody to head him in Kalabari land but they bowed to Late Chief Melford Obene Okilo of Emakalakala in Ogbia clan in present 1ay Bayelsa State whose population is smaller than the smallest village in Kalabari kingdom vis-à-vis where Dr. Peter Odili of Ndoni come from whose population could not be compared that of Buguma and Abonnema but they bowed also for him. This is the typical Kalabari man and how he looks like.
As for Hon. Ebenezer Isokariari of Buguma city and Hon. Barr. Paul Awoye Suku of Abonnema, they should wait after 8 years, for the Ogoni Governor to rule Rivers State if the state is not going to be divided for either of them shall emerge as a Kalabari Governor since they are still young men and better recognized by their track records in Kalabari land.
3. The Formation of GDI and Kengema Women Cultural Society in Rivers State.
The Grassroot Development Initiative (GDI) from available records prominent to my writing desk is an upshot political initiative of Hon. Nyeson Wike for his political ambition to become Governor of River State reference: WEEKLY WATCH NEWSPAPER of August 27 – September 4, 2013 Vol. 7, No 22, ISSN 0795-0136 page 2 of this publication where Governor Amaechi and Wike featured prominently as Hon. Wike was booed in Gokana and also in Kalabari lands according to this publication.
Let me ask Hon. Wike if the report is true, how did he conclude Rivers people as what? Are they stooges or puppets? How did he dream to become the next Governor in 2015 in Rivers State? Is lkwerre ethnic Nationality only in River State that after Governor Amaechi, it is now his turn? Does it work politically like that or is Abuja under President Jonathan will make him the next Governor? Or who? Is he fit to rule Rivers State? When in actual facts he was the chief of staff of Governor Amaechi and the efforts I made to he Governor Amaechi with some secret information 1 passed to him in 2011 general elections and when it is over, by a telephone text message, Governor Amaechi invited me to Government House to see him and I tried to do so on 3 occasions on that same day where he Hon. Nyeson Wike refused me to see His Excellency at the instant of the Governor invitation in Wike’s vacated Rivers State Government House. Can he deny this fact? While he is still alive and on seat to prove me right or wrong of this fact and I believe also he does so to many people too of my experience where he is as greedy a person as a dog when he sees something to eat and its kind nearer it as it shows its feeling not to near it.. This is the truth for the public to know the type of Hon. Wike as far as I am concerned and he cannot deny it and if he does that the wrath by the Almighty God who sees and knows and records everything according to the prilgrim progress saying when someone leaves this planet earth with wrong things he will go direct to hell fire as far as the Bible stated unknown years age.
My Kalabari Youths continue follow Hon. Wike and collect what he gains in Amaechis Government and as he is now with President Jonathan, all are our Niger Delta money and when the time comes in 2015 abandon him and be part of us. This is what he did to Governor Amaechi who trusted him so much that he is now flashing pepper into the eyes of Governor Amaechi for what he is passing through. 1 he deserving turn by Providence is your turn to benefit through Nyesom Wike. And don’t forget this passage if you come across to read it.
Let me at this junction say and I believe vividly true sons and daughters of lkwerre land are not having ambition to rule Rivers State after Governor Amaechi until it goes round if we will ever remain as a single state but only the type of Nyeson Wike calibers who do not think so.
That of Kengema cultural club, it is a club madE of women and having some men as their patrons. Their dream for a Kalabari Governor for now is a matter in futility to my Kalabari people as I have made it know to them and the reading public and unless wonders shall take place which of course it is impossible for now and I will tell them what we will do at the conclusion of this feature. Kengema is a respected club as far as I knoN as a citizen of Kalabari and a chief well known, let myopic thought leaders don’t drag them into an imaginary political forum like this. If they invite me if they like I will address them for them to understand very well as their chief and leader. Let Nyeson Wike don’t deceive them. He is working to the bream of his education ministry by President Jonathan. This is the truth of his unfounded utterances against the state in general and governor Amaechi in particular.
4. Stockpiling Arms And Ammunitions Into The State To Get What They Want in 2015 General Elections Re-Visiting 2003 General Election.
I am alerting all sons and daughters of Rivers State origins including old and young to shine their eyes in 2015 general elections which is less than 2 years from now which shall be same 2003 general elections. Information arriving at my writing desk ditto. The security agents should not invite me to let them know the source of my revelation as it is against security rules which they are trained in that direction. So it is therefore their area of concern and let them not aim to invite me to tell them the source of information because I am not a security officer and let them not pretend also that they are not aware. And if they venture to invite me and Keep me in their custody unless I reveal, I will stand tall like the world greatest hero of our time Dr. Nelson Mandela, I will never reveal the source because they are aware. And from reliable source again some couple of months ago, 2 young men from a village in Rivers State were apprehended with large quantity of arms and ammunition at the new GRA Area, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. They were all members of one family. And up till this day, their whereabouts were unknown by their parents who are alive and after making several enquires in all the security departments in the state, maybe they have been shot dead at the Port Harcourt cemetery and had since been buried. This is the truth of the matter.
Some politicians in both Abuja and Rivers State are having ambition of a do or die tendencies to achieve their objectives in 2015 general elections. I therefore urge all River State sons and
daughters including old and young to shine our eyes in 2015,
5. South East Anambra State Election in November 2013, what The People Shonid Do To Uphold.
I am not a citizen of South east geo-political region of our country Nigeria because my parents were all from Rivers State of the blessed memories. But one thing I observed as a childhood politician of 53 years now, I see that the entire South East did not focus their identity like the Afenefere in South West or the Arewa in the 3 geo-political regions of the North respectively.
South East geo-political region citizens believe in individuals gains and not collective ones and until they realize this of what they are in this country, they will ever remain 2 class citizens in this country. They should thank President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan by appointing their son to head the army, and with Dut him, no body shall recognize them for such a big post.
The South West Afenefere believes in their mentor ideology (Chief Obafemi Awolowo), and since his demise 27 years ago they still retains and reflects his political pursuits in their region in spite of Late Chief M.K.O Abiola and former President Obasanjo hoped to stop this great leader’s projects to his entire Yoruba race. One of the reasons why Chief Bola Ige was killed in Ibadan in December of 2002 before the 2003 general elections was the result of Chief Awolowo project to resustate and in the same way the Arewa uphold the defunct NPP and CPC in the North as they now emerge into APC which A is for Action Congress (West), P is for Nigeria People Party (North) and C is for Congress for Political Change still for (North).
Why, the Ndigbo lacks this zeal, to institutionalize one of the greatest leaders of our present generation-Dr. Namdi Azikiwe popularly called Zik of Africa? Will they follow follow forever and the ideology of Zik? His spirit is crying in the grave. Let me remind all South East Ndigbo as 1 thank God APGA has 2 states
controlled now (Anambra and Imo) which had reflected Zik Ideology. I therefore enjoin and encourage all Anambra State origins and the entire South East residents in Ahambra State, to all cast their votes to APGA candidates in all elections to win the November, 2013 elections of their state in order to close the
vacuum of our mentor Dr. Zik philosophical and political history of our nation and this should go beyond 2015 general elections if Nigeria will ever remain as a country, this includes the remaining 3 Ndigbo States of Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi respectively by voting enemas for APGA to uphold your heritage and relevance in the scheme of things in this country.
The PDP is a national party. Nobody can claim ownership. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is not one of the founding fathers. He came in as an opportunist just look at River State, nothing the PDP had done to Rivers people going to 16 years as we voted for the party in all elections and see the East/West road where President Jonathan come from. He has served nearly 4 years in office as President of this great nation and nothing he has
done to complete this road only waiting for 2 Tenure. God
Almighty Would not allow him to be. I believe vividly. It is better we don’t have a president from the Niger Delta.
We are also follow too. If not by God’s Grace Governor Amaechi took the Bull by the Horn Rivers State would have sunk into oblivion. The 6 Governors with all their arsenal resources cannot float a party like APGA to negotiate with other regions as it was in the days of Chief Harold Dappa Biriye Niger Delta Congress (NDC), and allined it with the Northern Peoples Congress (N PC) in those days which gave rise to Chief Melford Obene Okilo of the blessed memory into parliament. This is what it suppose to be to us. I give kudos to both Anambra and Imo citizens in this special direction and let our Heroes past never be in vain. Vote for APGA in Anambra November 2013 elections. All Ndigbos please shine your eyes. I am not from these places but because of Zik who was our mentor, and NCNC was my party in those days as I followed my friend senior, Chief P.G.Warmate now of the blessed memory too.
6. East West Road In The Niger Delta.
Due to non-challant attitude by the Federal Government under the Leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan for nearly 4 years now East/West Road is still non-motorable and at last it has cost the life of the President wife’s mother and it was immediately put into network news across the nation.
Before the death of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s mother in- law, uncountable lives of very special people in their respective families has lost on this East/West Road, no news given. What a shame to our country Nigeria.
It would have been better we don’t have a president that does not know the Agenda which gave rise to the Nigeria Delta militancy struggling. It is better for non-Niger Delta person to rule us like former president Olusegu Obasanjo 8 years of neglects to the Niger Delta Region and we continue to say because we don’t have a president. President Goodluck Jonathan hopes to face his Region according to source on his 2nd tenure arrival as president. Is he a prophet to sure himself?
In 2004 Local Government elections in Rivers State as it effected Asari Toru, under my struggles with all Cennorsia communities citizens and traditional rulers, we were able to produce the l chairman through Dr. Peter Odiii. This Chairman (names with held) instead to develop his region (Cennorsia) and his home town, used all the resources at his disposal continued development to the already developed Buguma city and hoped to develop his Region and his home town during his 2 tenure. And when the 2′ tenure comes for its campaigns, the Traditional council of chiefs in spite of his failure to develop their region (Cennorsia) endorsed him and gave me a letter to give him and surprisingly I went with the letter same day at the venue to deliver to him as he had already surrendered to the power house of Buguma. The place which he hoped to develop according to his earlier promise was thrown into the dustbin by himself. This is life and politics. So for Mr. President hopes for 2 tenure, I doubt it when he cannot put his house to order and only depending on stooges and puppets bad advisers and leaders of PDP.
The Bomu/Bonny Road and the Kolo/Nembe/Brass road where Mr. President also comes from all in Niger Delta Region had already been forgotten projects as well.
7. Asuu Strike for Over 3 Months.
Where are we in this country that Mr. President was before his present position as a senior lecturer in one of the best universities in our country that allowed it to cover over a period of 3 months above the strike by the academic staff union of universities (ASUU)? Is it because Mr. President children and wards are not schooling in the country that he kept tick skin without solution. The ASUU demands by their numerical strength across the country which one is higher to that of our National law makers alone consumed, 25% of our Budget in a particular year according to the Governor of central bank report sometime ago and in this year’s report for 108 senators and 360 House of Representatives members are consuming another jumbo pay released recently. It is whose fault, is it Mr. President or the National Assembly’? Mr. President before this time was an ASUU member that suffered it who knows in and out, can’t he order the negotiating team with ASUU demand, and see reasons for at most 4 time installmental payments to off load it and let our children continue their lectures rather than half education? At the tail end, I will recommend what this country shall do to relief this nation.
8. National Assembly Resolution on Police Commissioner Mbu Joseph Mbu.
The Longman dictionary of contemporary English new edition for advanced learners defined the word “Resolution” a formal decision or statement agreed on by vote pass/adopt/approve a resolution. The resolution was passed by a two thirds majority. A resolution calling for a ban or when someone refuses a problem, argument difficult situation etc. and the new international Webster’s comprehensive dictionary of the English language encyclopedic edition defined the word parliament, state assembly, individuals and well meaning organization and having the force of law without the signature of the president-joint resolution and shall be approved by the president who has the force of the law. Now i ask, after the National Assembly passed this resolution on police commissioner Mbu Joseph Mbu who was posted to Rivers State that had been causing statement In Rivers State some couple of months ago, had they sent Mr. President for his ascent and he refused to honour it or Mr. President on his own refused to ascent it in order to thwart Governor Amaechi Administration plans since Mr. President had failed to unseat the Governor through the Rivers State House of Assembly?
In this world, whatever a man soweth so shall ho reaps according to the Holy Scripture. Let me also tell Mr. President, nothing is permanent on this planet earth but only “change” which is permanent. Rivers State cannot be disintegrated during his regime. We Rivers people who are record keepers will not be happy with him as he schooled and earned his living before he was elevated, and with Providence, one day he must come down from the ladder he ha4 climbed atop. And shall become a common citizen like any other person.
9. National Assembly franca after Rivers State House of Assembly
When a presidential villa authority planned and organized francas against most peaceful Rivers State House of Assembly of the 36 states of Nigeria happened, majority of the society immediately condemned them and accused the honourable men which was not caused by them but by the powers that be and according to the incomplete 1999 constitution, the federal law makers are in charge of our Rivers State law makers duties. It is sweet to do so because our Rivers State is the Treasure Base of the Nation which every Tom, Dick and Harry are envious in its entirety.
Now the question is, not quite long another similar francas had occurred at the National Assembly. Who now takes over their functions? It is the President, or the Military should takeover or to standby? I want Nigeria to answer this question. However, Nigerians should not bother to answer it; I will answer it at my conclusion. The world is too vast. When you are pointing one finger to someone, 3 other fingers are pointing at you. This is the truth of our daily life activities. Let us be careful to weary.
10. The Inspector General of Police (IG).
Who is responsible of the transfer of senior police officer of the rank and file of a commissioner of police? Is it the police service commission, or the Inspector General of Police? And if it is the police service commission, then Inspector general is blameless but
if it is he, then he has a case to answer because before the present IG took over from his predecessor, many Nigerianscriticized his appointment from his past records. He cannot givedeaf ears to Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu transfer nor made it impossible until they seize and destroy Rivers State and he the IG may laugh last the best laugn, is it what he wants? I wish if my age is below 40, as our Youths are afraid to die, I would have held the bull by the horn and with God nothing shall happen to me by any mortal soul like us for sanity to prevail in our state and our country. Mr. IG should be careful and never pretend that what he is doing is right to Rivers State that we do not see it. Our state was created not on a platter of gold but by the blood of illustrious sons and daughters of Rivers State at which time he was a lad in nature. The Almighty God is seeing every deed of our activities. The transfer of Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu out of Rivers State is over due. He is not a police officer but an errand Boy sent to Rivers State to destabilize us but the Supreme Father is in control against all forces of evil to Rivers people.
11. Police Commissioner Mbu Joseph Mbu.
From records made available to me at my writing desk shows that Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu retirement is either in 2014 or 2015. Be that as it may, it will give a bad record of Mbu’s service years and if I were him, I must apply voluntary retirement than someone to rubbish me simply because he is in power to suit his evil plans against humanity as Mbu’s name implies a Christian name.
This is so because in the Western world, polished people of Mbu’s caliber voluntarily retires instead of persons to rubbish them. What is the difference between now and either 2014 or 2015 of his retirement?
Let me inform Mr. Mbu and other serving officers who sit on the fence and watching events particularly on the police, they should realize that without police across the globe, the World would definitely standstill. The noble roles the police are playing disallows darkness never to covered the world otherwise all business would have been halted. But why policemen die during their service periods and after their service period is because of not putting God first before their duties and only rely on corrupt practices by most of them and those who know what I am saying live to an old age and enjoy the fruit of their labour during and after retirement. Arid unless the policeman aims to leave the retirement benefits to his family without enjoying it, then it suppose to be otherwise. Mr. Mbu should seek for his transfer out of Rivers State.
Since Mr. Mbu was posted to Rivers State, he [as gotten more enemies than all his service years put together as I suppose. I am advising him to think twice. Governor Amaechi is for every family in Rivers State except his foes because the entire state voted for him enmass in 2011 general elections so whether or not he is our Governor and he is doing well to us.
The police love money than their service appointments and since his arrival if he is cooperating with Governor Amaechi, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu would have gained more than expected. But as of now, he is the loser. I urge him to seek his transfer now or he should shine his eyes for his good. Many Rivers people including myself are not happy of his police duties teleguided outside his training. Let him therefore be wise now, I advise.
12. People Democratic Party (PDP) an outlaw party as INEC watches it.
Nigerians should not expect true results in 2015 general elections if at all it will hold. INEC has not released its time table for campaigns but the wife of the President and Hon. Nyeson Wike in the past 2 months campaigned in Rivers State their home state under the watchful eyes of INEC. This is why Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is an outlaw party.
This attitudes had never happened in this country before. The PDP has an agenda with INEC hence they did not wave into action in PDP’s campaigns in Rivers State for the past months. It
is a shame to Nigerians particularly the so called INEC ineffectiveness.
And if the present INEC is not sacked, Nigerian should accept whatever result they may produced in 2015 general elections by not going to tribunal to waste their time and hard earned resources. it is time we shall all rise to agitate the sacking of INEC before it is too late. I advise all Nigerians. I commend Senator Magnus Abe and all the Rivers State National Assembly members who joined Governor Rotimi Amaechi that boycotted the so called Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention held on 30th August, 2013 at Abuja as a sign of oneness and commitment to Rivers people in the national affairs of what Rivers State is passing through in the hands of President Goodluck Jonathan administration.
13. Hon Austin Opara slow space in Rivers State Politics now.
Hon. Austin Opara would have been a good ambassador with Hon. Chidibom Wuche because they are illustrious sons of Rivers State and by now they may still be in the National Assembly to
represent and protect and bring what belongs to Rivers people if they don’t over ambitious to become Governor of Rivers State when Dr. Peter Odili was still on seat. I appreciate their slow space in Rivers State politics now and advise them to work for Governor Amaechi to finish his tenure to Rivers people which will bring honour and glory to themselves than fighting Governor Amaechi like Nyeson Wike who was the engine room of Governor Amaechi that benefited immensely than any other Rivers sons and daughters who supported Governor Amaechi.
Therefore advise our young bread politicians to fight their political careers to a greater height by not bringing down someone on the seat. The moment they do that, there will be doomed for their
political career. This is a natural justice. They should always
encourage and support so that the Heaven’s doors shall open to
in no small measure.
Hon. Austin Opara as I see him is calm now and let him be so far the remaining days of Governor Amaechi to complete without
joining the bangwagons who are trying to destroy Rivers State for their selfish objectives.
14. Mr. Felix Obuah Court Judgment Chairmanship of PDP.
I severally wondering whether Felix Obuah does not come from a reputable family nor having friends, nor good political associates to advise him to soft pedal his political court mandate of the PDP chairmanship with those he has appointed to hold offices in our state, or is it because and through Abuja connection being his house intoxication that he cannot realize unless Governor Amaechi endorses him? And to me his mandate is insignificant, null and void, didn’t he know this? What has he achieved since he flew down with the court judgment mandate from Abuja other than empty noises? Cant his associates let him know to find inroads to be working with Governor Amaechi by soft pedaling rather than Abuja command? And up till now has he found his way into Government House to talk one on one with the Governor? The answer is “never” of my observation.
One Kalabari adage where I come from says: if you give a big fish to a child at a meal table, a cleaver child may ask, papa is this fish mine? And the father answers him “YES” so this is
with Obuah and since that time he flew into Rivers State of all the empty noises he is making is he achieving something to his master at Abuja? The answer is “Nothing still.”
One thing Mr. Felix Obuah and his associates did not realize still or not yet known is that, PDP is one of the parties of either Fifty, Sixty or by now if it has reached One Hundred parties, ft is only INEC that can tell Nigerians since it is registering parties in every second without telling Nigerians to stop it neither our Law makers in Abuja who cannot come up with an “Act” for a sealing as it suppose to be for National interest. The Rivers PDP cannot hold the people of the State to ransom because Rivers State is bigger than. PDP and we all as stated above voted Governor Amaechi to power in 2011 general elections. This is one thing Mr. Obuah and his cliques never realized.
An incumbent of a State is an incumbent no matter until Mr. Obuah and his bandwagons realize this, he or the’ will continue to make the emptiest noises without tools to work until 2015 general elections are over. Therefore they should know that Rivers State is greater than the PDP he is forking up against Governor Amaechi mandate which was made possible by all Rivers sons and and not POP as a party. Mr. Obuah did not realize this with his associates because they are not grassroot politicians so their intoxicating power is null and void as well as insignificant in our Rivers State as a whole.
15. Buguma City in Asari-Toru LGA
Power intoxication is also affecting Buguma City, the Headquarters of Asari-Toru Local Government Council between the incumbent chairman Hon. Ojukaye Flag Amachree on one hand and Mr. Egberipapa Jackreece, a strong member of GD1 for (Hon. Nyesom Wike) loyalists on the other hand.
Nigeria is a secular state and our 1999 constitution as amended gives freedom of Association and speeches etc against criminality. Recent report indicates that these 2 rival groups clashed and a fewer than 3 persons died as a result and damaged several cars that were parked at the vicinity.
Report reaching my writing desk again stated that Mr. Egberipapa Jackreece a chairmanship candidate in next year’s April or May as the case maybe was holding a meeting without disturbing the peace of the city, and Hon. Ojukaye Flag Amachree loyalists went and started thrown stones and bottles at them. If this report is correct to say, Hon. Ojukaye Flag Amachree loyalists either by him or on their own, has no moral rights or impediments to stop them which resulted the fracas. No matter they are the loyalist of Hon. Nyesom Wike, let us give peace a chance. The people that died and the properties damaged, they are not from Nyesom Wike Obio/Akpo LGA or his home. Why not Ojukaye loyalist remain calm and make an underground work to face Mr. Egberipapa and his loyalists when appropriate rather destroyed lives and property. I condemn Hon. Ojukaye Amachree loyalists into-to. I, as a pioneer Deputy Chairman, Asari-Toru Local Government Council, let peace prevail in our lands. Our children were not behaving like this before 1999 where Dr. Peter Odili who was asked to Govern Rivers State by those selfish politicians who brought him, thought them to handle gun instead of good education, co-existence, law abiding and to have the fear of God etc as they become wild Youths and had died in their hundreds. Asari-Toru needs nothing but Peace now. Hon. Ojukaye Arnachree should call his boys to order. This is nor the way to support Governor Amaechi but rather do an underground work in our polity.
16. Akuku-Toru & Emohua LGAs Chairmen ought to be sacked in their Respective Local Government Council.
One of my hobbies is traveling. Because traveling is part of education as it was stated long ago. But in recent times because of financial constrains I am unable to travel as before to educate myself of events and sight seeing. And since Abonnema, the Headquarters of Akuku-Toru LGA, is my home I go home anytime I like for several activities as the case maybe.
In the dark ages in the fifties when I was a by, neigbouring citizens from present Bayelsa State, their only route to Port Harcourt and the rest of the country with its proxy was through Abonnema. And in those days Abonnema has a seaport with several Ocean going vessels coming into the waters of Abonnema offloading goods of all types from the western countries and loading all types of goods and timbers much more than Port Harcourt harbour itself. And in the night not fewer than 5 to 7 ships be on the River while others harboured in Briggs Compound harbour loading Palm Oil, and its electricity spread around the area and when our brothers and sisters came out at night from the creeks, they say Oh! Ayiba Kpo-emiye: this means, God Almighty is alive to keep the Ijaw Kalabaris in a better place than them in present day Bayelsa. This is to say how Abonnema is more famous in those days than Port Harcourt itself then.
My brother Hon. Theodore Georgewill is presently, the chairman of Akuku-Toru Local Government Council. He has put up modern electricity street poles fittings at the main Bridge connecting Degema Headquarters of Degema LGA as well as the mariner of Abonnema. What is he waiting to connect it with the already done electricity brought by Hon. Paul Awoyesuku into the Kalabari Kingdom all the way from Ahoada in order to beautify Abonnema with its Sombrierlo River as it was in the colonial era when ocean going ships comes regularly on weekly basis to Abonnema?
Another issue is the bad condition of the Mariner Road of
Abonnema with its easy inlets and outlets. This Road and the Main City Road is so bad that my brother Hon. Theodore Georgewill did not see to handle these projects of not more than 5 kilometers in all.is he waiting for Governor Amaechi to come and do it or he has no development taste of his area to his people of Abonnema in spite of the huge allocations received both from the Federation Account and the State? What is he doing with our money? And since Abonnema is in this condition what about other communities that make up the LGA? What developmental strides has he done there? Let him explain to the people of the LGA and Governor Amaechi now.
The second issue is the Chairman of Emohua Local Government Council who hails from Ubimini, Chief (Hon.) Allen Nmah JP. I happen to visit his home Town and saw that there is no electricity in his community while a high tension electricity wire passed through Big Elele to Omoku about 12 kilometers away from his home town. He is already completing his 3 years in office as L.G.A Chairman and his community is in darkness. Is he really from that place? And if he were to be a citizen of Kalabari Kingdom, can he smell chairmanship of his Emohua LGA? Where my mother’s hometown – Agulama is even bigger that Ubimini where Buguma Lords takes everything in the LGA? If he Hon. Allen Nmah, JP at this time as Chairman of Emohua LGA, he did not provide amenities to his community who is going to do that to his town upon the huge allocations Emohua LGA is receiving monthly also as the records are there? I thank the people of Emohua political elites of lkwerre, if it were to be Buguma and Abonnema where I have all birth rights, would a community like Ubumini man to be considered the chairman of that L.G.A. as the lkw9res in Emohua L.G.A. are doing turn by turn (TBT).
This is what is also obtained in Ward 13 (AsariToru LGA) since this WARD was created being the birth place of my mother. My sincere thanks to the people of Emohua L.G.A lkwerres to uphold this type of living in political dispensation of our state and country, and I hope it was a policy laid down by my friend Chief Sergeant Awuse. His Excellency, Governor Amaechi ought to sack these L.G.As chairmen of (Akuku-Toru and Emohua) respectively before March, 2014 by mismanaging the monthly allocation to amassing wealth in defilement of their people.
17. The trans Kalabari Highway as Central Group Communities are inclusive.
Kalabari Kingdom for mow has 3 L.G.As viz: Degema, Asari-Toru and Akuku-Toru respectively. It has a population of over half a million by 2006 National population census. It is one of the kingrioms reckoned socially, economically and politically by the erstwhile colonial masters and Nigeria presently and in the past. It is 46 years now since the creation or Rivers State on 27th May 1967. Both civilian and military governments of Rivers State have developed a kilometer of road in its 3 LG.As except the Federal military government. The only existing road is Degema to Buguma which was constructed by the military in 1973 and Emohua to Tema with 2 major Bridges and fhially crossed to Abonnema with another major Bridqe were all done between 1990 to year 2000 still by the military federal government too.
The Kalabari Kingdom has its boundaries with Okrika, Bonny, lkwerre, Nembe and Ogbia. The Kalabari 3 LGAs has large dry and mangrove forests all arable with several kilometers from the main lands into the Atlantic Ocean with uncountable oil wells and gas viz: the Soku and the Cowthern channel, all produces gas on daily basis to the nation economy and yet, its development in terms of roads from the 1st Military Governor-King [)iete Spiff to the Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Arnaechi, the 15th Governor, are all on the drawing board.
It is pertinent to note that Dr. Peter Odili at the eve of his administration departure in 2007 placed and awarded the Trans Kalabari Highway to a number of companies. One of it was OK. Isokariari Construction Company Ltd who handled the Central Group Road of 18.5 kilometers only which is the longest of the Trans’ Kalabari road projects with a bridge to link this Island communities whose population is over 50.000 souls either at Degema consulate to Krakrama which bridge is shorter that Choba/Emohua Bridge at the East West Road or lfoko/Sangama which Bridge length is the same with that of Chobal/Emohua East West Road which shall not cost the Rivers State Government more that N2.5b that it gives deaf ear by the present is most unfortunate.
And apart from the Rivers State Government not handling this laudable project, the NDDC took it up by it self as I stated in my first open letter to Mr. President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan till this day nothing is visible at sight Moreower, let me now reference Governor Amaechi on the stake holders meetings of the kingdom where King Prof.tJ.tPrlncewlll Amachree Xl, Dimayanabo of Kalabad led the stakeholders meeting to Government House with opinion leaders of Kalabaris who were invited in 2308. 1 was also invited as one of the Kalabari illustrious sons. Governor Amaechi spoke with angry tone of how Kalabari sons collected huge sums of money for the Trans Kaiabari highway projects and did not executed any job. He threatened to announce their names If they falled to bring back the money and to be prosecuted in the law courts and warned them, to comply immediately.
In that address, Chief O.K Isikariari was also in attendance and His Excellency Governor Amaechi pin-pointed to him, how he abandoned the Central Group Road being not completed and that the Governor will not give him any road contract except building of houses only. The Governor also talked about the kidnapping attitude by the Kalabari Youths to stop this ugly trend which is one of the contending factors in the Trans Kaiabari highway project to take off as designed by Government good intentions to the governance.
Now it is exactly 5 years gone and the Governor had not annoyance the names of those who collected the money as well as he has not prosecuted anyone till this day so I believe strongly, they have paid the money given to them. The question now will this projects start by next year as well as going to be inclusive in the next year’s budget or not?
The people of the Central Group are suffering untold hardship both by deaths and by economic developments particularly under cases of emergency sickness which consumes annually over 100 persons in these communities. The Central Group ward 13 in Asari-Toru LGA is made up of 6 autonomous communities with only I ward which voting strength is more than 3 wards in Buguma city and other places of the Kalabari L.G.As and the other 20 L.G.As of the state. And due to suppressions and oppressions by our big brothers Buguma people, they don’t want any good things to be done in the Central Group.
1 therefore with humility and sincerity of purpose appeal to His Governor Amaechi to connect the people of Central Group Ward 13 in Asari-Toru L.G.A with a Bridge at Krakrama through Degeman which is shorter than Choba bridge of East/West Road for the people of his area to have sense of belongings
And His Excellency, if this said Bridge is approved, it should be
to Julius Berger Construction Company for easy completion before his tenure elapsed on 29th May 2015. I am one
of the leaders on this Island. 1 assure His Excellency Governor
Amaechi that we will be responsible of kidnapping matters
24hours vigil to the company that shall construct this said project
if awarded by Government.
This is the ward 13 where the former Hon. Commissioner for Urban Development Hon. Osima GHnah come from and also served His Excellency with all honesty and respect no matter both of them are the same age. And let me thank His Excellency in advance in this regard. (Chief Young Obene Clark Georgewill).
