Omotola has more depth in acting than Genevieve Nnaji -Charles Novia

Yesterday, some Nollywood stars including Omotola were honoured by the Federal Government.Charles Novia took to his Facebook page to congratulate them and also air his thoughts on Genevieve as an actress

"Congratulations to the Nollywood recipients of the Nigerian National Awards which took place today in Abuja. Kenneth Nnebue, Joke Silva and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde were each given National Honours by President Jonathan today.

Kenneth Nnebue is generally acknowledged as the founder of the home video industry in Nigeria which later snowballed into Nollywood. His epoch - making movie 'Living in Bondage' which he Executive Produced in 1992 generated the unleashing of creative spirits in Nigeria who followed his footsteps and used the affordable home video technology to exhibit their gifts.

Perhaps without Nnebue's foray into that sector, the likes of me and thousands of others would never have found the creative leeway we used to show our talents. His award is belated though. But better late than never.

Joke Silva is an actor's actor. A formidable screen personality and one of the most articulate thespians Nigeria has produced. She is an inspiration to millions and her award is just about a crowning glory she could ever receive from her nation. A priceless gem.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is known to many. Her acting prowess is arguably in a class by itself and her being nominated as one of the world's 100 most influential persons by TIME magazine a couple of years back must have paved the way for her present national recognition by the Federal Government. Frankly speaking, I personally think she has more depth in acting than her 'rival' Genevieve Nnaji. I have worked with both of them in the past and also studied their acting styles. Omotola has the gift of role immersion. She gives everything into her characters. There is an organic style of interpretation she is gifted with. Very few actors have that. She Is not a Method Actor, mind you but she has delivered roles which many method actors would give her a standing ovation for.

Genevieve, on the other hand, is a fantastic actress and a trend - setting one too. But she lacks the intrinsic ability to evolve artistically beyond her present heights in her career. That is my opinion. There is an underlying stereotype in her interpretation of her roles in many of her movies; a linear aloofness and veiled disdain at the thought of being pushed further down the exploratory lane. Of course she has an uncanny screen presence which generally veils her artistic shortcomings when it comes to acting and between her and her rivals, she comes tops on the fan base list. However, with an attitude which seems to say she has nothing more to prove, even the fans would become restless if new artistic exploits are not offered from her to which they can beat their chests.

And for fans of both actresses, this is a professional review of their acting abilities and not an attempt to rekindle old rivalries. Somehow, this post on the National Honours dove tailed into their artistry. All well and good.

Congrats to the Recipients once again.

THE UNITY AND PEACE OF DELTA STATE SHOULD ALWAYS BE OUR FOCUS –SENATOR OKOWA-ika weekly

As political activities heighten leading to the 2015 general elections the need for all Deltans to focus on unity and peace has been reiterated by a frontline governorship aspirant in the state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.

Senator Okowa made the call during the week during his scheduled visits to the various local government areas of Delta State to formerly intimate executive members and leaders of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, at the LGA level of his intention to vie for the governorship position.

He said for Delta State to experience the much desired sustainable growth and development, "we must first see ourselves as one united family and promote our relationship along that line rather than on the basis of ethnicity or place of origin which unfortunately, some persons are using as political tool to push their selfish agenda."

He says he sees himself as a Deltan much more than being from a particular part of the state."I am as much as Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Anioma, Isoko as anyone else. I am a true Deltan not limited to the boundaries of ethnicity. Every part of the state is my place. There is no part of Delta State that I do not have a root. I believe in Delta State. I love to identify with our people both at low and high times. We must therefore, join hands in building a united and prosperous state where equity, justice and development will be the watch word. I have not come to preach Anioma but about the people of Delta State and a better future for our people."

Senator Okowa while emphasizing his commitment to the people of Delta State, maintained that he is not strange to any community in the state, having worked closely and harmoniously with people from all parts of the state in the course of serving the state and the nation.

He promised that when given the mandate by Deltans to be their governor come 2015, he would partner with the people to run an all inclusive government that will benefit every Deltan, assuring that, "we will initiate and pursue policies that would impact positively on our people."

Senator Okowa, who is currently in the Senate as Chairman of the very important Health Committee, said his administration would vigorously pursue an all embracing health insurance policy in partnership with the federal government in its Universal Health Insurance coverage, to boost the overall health status of Deltans.

He also promised to tackle unemployment through the establishment of agro-based industrial parks in each of the three senatorial districts in the state, building on what Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has stated with the Warri
Industrial Park.

Another area he said he would pay adequate attention to is agriculture, as in his words, "it is an area, if properly harnessed would generate meaningful employment for our people especially the youths, who he observed are most affected with the incidence of unemployment.

On education, he promised to consolidate on the huge success being recorded by the Uduaghan administration with the massive renovation of schools across the state, even as he added that, "efforts would be geared towards restructuring our school curriculum and also in training and retraining our teachers as a way of ensuring that our children can stand on their own and make positive contributions when they leave school."

SENATOR A.I. OKOWA; AN EMBLEM OF HOPE-----Amamosa Bruno Jude

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. .... Knute Rockne. The quote above by a Norwegian knute rockne portrays a salient attribute of a visionary leader who becomes more trenchant and focused, working harder to surmount confrontational challenges in difficult times on his way to fulfilling destiny, because he is being wise enough to push further; rather than pulling out.

Every focused leader certainly have to pass through the rainy and dry season of his time; but his ability to overcome, based on his capacity, determines whether he will be a winner or a failure. Winning leaders are hopeful leaders, they keep their minds on the price rather than the distractions and troubles, envisaging possibilities in every impossibility.
No price is awarded to a man when there is no test of ability, likewise leaders, as nobody emerges leader when he can not absolve shock that stands to sway him off his target.
Leaders keep fighting good fight of faith for them to be winners as they are dealers in hope. These are the very true attributes of Senator Okowa who sees no obstacle as hindrance to any mapped-out goal he wishes to actualise because of his high goal oriented capacity and remaining persistent in his strive to attaining his dream for the people.

Okowa as an ordained leader full of hope, believes that obstacles are propelling forces that can project him to a higher level of his political life, building in him the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose which inspires confidence in the followers.

Despite the enormity of rumours that took over the social media in the last weeks about the purported "anointing" of a governorship aspirant in Delta State, the man, Senator Okowa, an embodiment of hope, remains un-deterred and more focused than ever believing that power comes from God who uses the people to perfect it. Today, he believes that over 98.5% of Deltans that forms bulk of the electorate are already more informed than before and wiser now. What a hope!

Recall that it takes a man of hope to lead a people who have lost absolute confidence in leadership haven passed through series of failures. For this reason, he has decided to offer himself to the service of the people and the State.

At this crucial period of Delta state political history, all that is needed by Deltans is a leader that will resuscitate and rekindle the already dwindling hope of the people because leadership is a dynamic process that involves all segments of the populace who assume they have no quota due to the fact that they were placed on political relegation by their leaders.

Okowa is here to prove to Deltans that no matter where we are now, there is hope in abundance for us through him.

More so, recall that a purposeful leader is a hopeful leader; and thus, Senator Okowa been an optimistic leader truly relies on God that will grant him victory through the people, being well convinced of the fact that God almighty through the people will not fail him.

More so, as a carrier of hope, he is not afraid of facing opponents in any political and professional competition because he is so confident of the fact that he'll always surmount.

As a man that desirous of the growth of others, he feels so satisfied seeing people aspiring to compete with him without holding them down. He is never afraid of followers succeeding and this is the reason why he keeps doing everything possible within his power to empower them because he is hopeful that when the people are empowered, society thrives better devoid of crimes.

Deltans certainly are out to vote for hope; and Senator Okowa is the hope Deltans and Delta State needs now.
GOD BLESS DELTA STATE
GOD BLESS SENATOR OKOWA

Delta 2015: Ogboru’s Brother Backs Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa

Senator Ifeanyi Okowa

CHIEF Julius Ogboru, younger brother of Democratic People’s Party, DPP, candidate in the 2011 governorship election in Delta State, Chief Great Ogboru, has said that Senator Ifeanyi Okowa was the best gubernatorial candidate in the state to take over from Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan in 2015.

Senator Okowa is among the leading gubernatorial aspirants from the North Senatorial district of the state and was the first runner-up to the incumbent, Dr. Uduaghan, in the 2006 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship primaries.

There was to be a run-off between him and Uduaghan, but Okowa conceded and was later appointed Secretary to the State Government in 2007. Currently, he is the Senator, representing Delta North Senatorial District in the Senate.

Speaking during the inauguration of D-Peace, a political pressure group, championing equity and fairness in the state, at Abraka, Ethiope East Local Government of the state, Chief Ogboru identified Senator Okowa as the most capable aspirant to pilot the affairs of the state among those eying the governorship seat in 2015.

Pointing out that Okowa has the pedigree and experience to govern the state, he said that having assessed those being touted as interested in governing the state, “I found Okowa to be most eligible in terms of experience, past record of good performance, reach and grassroots connection.”

DELTA 2015: NWAOBOSHI'S AMBITION STALLS OBUH MANDATE

As against the general belief that all is settled within the PDP to have Governor Uduaghan's appointee, Dr Tony Chucks Obuh to succeed him in 2015 on the much talked about power shift agenda of the Delta North zone, reports reaching AV-News, Asaba has it that there is still a lot of tees and dots to cross by the party chieftains.

Reeling from the information from Abuja that President Jonathan has expressed confidence on the abilities of both Gov Uduaghan and Barr Nwaoboshi for PDP to retain the oil rich Delta state, our source informs that Barr Peter Nwaoboshi who is the state party chairman and also an interested candidate for the Senate is yet to agree with the Uduaghan 's proposition. The. reason being that he is yet convinced on how the party can make Senator Okowa to drop his ambition and also to forget about a return to the senate which might hinder his own ambition.

It was revealed that the party chieftains were locked in a closed door meeting till very late in the night of the 27th and the principal topic is the Nwaoboshi's interest..

Meanwhile, it is believed that the group has already received the blessings of the newly sworn in South South Chairman, Hon Cairo Ojougboh. There is also a reported cases of some political parties waiting to see what happens at the primaries of the PDP expected to take place between October and December this year before they can approach Senator Okowa to take their ticket, a situation an aide of Senator Okowa dismissed by insisting that Okowa is a true and loyal party man and can not leave the PDP for any other party.

“THERE'S NO ANOINTED SUCCESSOR TO UDUAGHAN'' – Pa E. K. Clark

Few days after the state PDP Chairman, Barr Peter Nwaoboshi declared publicly that there is no anointed successor to Uduaghan. in a statement, political watchers claimed was full of diplomacy, his associate and close friend, the foremost Niger Delta leader and a strong supporter of the power shift agenda of the Delta North senatorial zone, Chief Edwin Clark has equally followed suit by declaring that no candidate has been anointed to succeed Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State.

The National Leader of the Ijaw nation made this known while playing host to one of the governorship aspirants in the state, Obaisi Ovie Omo-Agege, in his Kiagbodo country home. He said “We all have a stake in the state; Chief Clark alone cannot make it. Let me tell you, I cannot endorse you, but I can give you my blessing, the governor alone cannot do it.

“Recently, I sat down with Dr. Uduaghan and I told him that he alone, me alone can make the governor of Delta State and I told him that those who are using our names should stop same. This state is not meant for rascals or people who never went to school and want to be governor, it will not be allowed.

In what political analysts deduced to be a sarcastical reference to the claims by loyalists of one of the aspirants who is from same ethnic zone with Mr President and Chief Clark that Mr President has endorsed him, Pa Clark thundered “I have said that I do not want to make any statement about the governorship position until Mr. President declares his intention to contest for a second term. So, if anybody comes to tell you that I Chief Clark had held his hand to meet Mr. President, that is a lie.

“We all have a stake, when you come to me like this, I’m an old man, I will give you my blessings and tell you go and fight, meaning go and fight in the primaries. “I have said it, when you are 70 years and above, you are at you departure lodge waiting for your boarding pass. That was what I told them at the national conference when they said Clark you are too old; I stood up and I told them I’m 87 years.

“I waited but God refused to give me my boarding pass, and they said, ‘why,’ I said because God told me, ‘you are one of those that caused the problems in Nigeria and see that they are resolved before you come to me for your boarding pass”, Clark further noted.

RE: BAN ON MOTORCYCLE USAGE (OKADA) IN THE ENTIRE IKA NORTH EAST LGA.

Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa
The Senate
National Assembley Complex
Abuja - Nigeria

Dear Distinguished Senator,

Our attention has been drawn to the recent Delta State Government ban placed on motor-cycle usage in all towns, villages and communities in Ika North East Local Govt Area.

Much as it is not our place to dictate policy for the state government, it is our considered opinion that the blanket ban on the entire Ika North East Local Government will portend adverse consequences for the economic life of the people of the local government. As our representative in the National Assembly, we have therefore deemed it necessary to draw your attention to this development and to urge you to use your good offices to prevail on Delta State Government to reverse the order.

For the avoidance of doubt, itemized below are the general complaints of our people in Ika North East Local Government:

1. Motorcycle is the cheapest and most viable means of doing businesses in the LGA
2. The economic main stay of the people of Ika
North East Local Government is mainly farming and petty trading. Thus they rely heavily on the motorcycle to convey their wares.
3. Interior communities and farm lands are accessible only by Motorcycles.
4. Most households in the local government rely mainly on motorcycles
5. The blanket ban on motorcycles usage in the entire LGA is novel to us as it has never been applied elsewhere in the state. As far as we can tell, the current ban on Motorcycle usage in the state is limited to cities and urban centers. We are therefore at a loss to understand the reason for this blanket ban on the whole local government
6. If this ban is allowed to stay, it will stifle and strangulate the economic activities of the people of the LGA and impoverish them further, as majority of the users of Motorcyles in the LGA cannot afford the cost of tricycle popularly called Keke as demanded by the State Government
7. Farm lands and bush paths which the people of the local government hitherto used Motorcycles to ply for their daily bread cannot be accessed by tricycle.

In view of the above, we demand to know:
1. What measures is the state government putting in place to cushion the effects of the ban on the economic life of the people of the area.
2. Considering the poor rural road network in the area and the narrow farm roads and bush paths, which are inaccessible by tricycle, is it reasonably wise to place the ban on Motorcyles (including ladies Motorcycles) in the entire LGA without considering the peculiarities of the entire area?
3. Would it not have been most appropriate to restrict the ban to urban centers as is applicable in other parts of the state?
4. What is the real motive behind this ban? Where you, as the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial Zone, consulted before this ban was placed? If so, what was your advice to the State Government?

We believe that as the elected representative of our people and a key player in the PDP in the state, you are in a better position to advice the state government about the likely consequences of this ban. Hence we have taken time to bring this to your attention. We expect that you would take immediate steps to remedy the situation as this is your immediate constituency. We urge you in the strongest terms to intervene in this matter in the interest of peace in the area.

Signed:
Comrade Akamesike Emmanuel Okonne
Convener/BOT Chairman Anioma Voice Worldwide Comrade El Chiz Geoffrey
National Secretary Anioma Voice Worldwide
