BAN ON MOTORCYCLES IS A TACTICAL SABOTAGE –Obi of Owa

Obi of owa_o
The Obi of Owa Kingdom, Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor II (JP) OON has stated that the recent ban on Okada operations in Ika land by the State Government is untimely.

The monarch made this statement last week Friday in his palace while paying host to delegates from the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ika correspondence chapel.

He pointed out that the ban which the State Government has enforced with the intention of reducing crime rate, may have a negative result if care is not taken since many who have been rendered jobless, may go into crime. He stated that since there are no good network of roads in Ika land, the ban ought to have been suspended.

He further noted that the option of tricycles, popularly known as Keke na pep, is not better that the Okada since majority of the people in Ika land are farmers and that they need the motorcycles to carryout their business. He reaffirmed that the ban should not be the State Government’s priority but rather, the State Government should re-prioritize and provide a better road network, industrialization and other essential facilities that could better the lives of the people.

He emphasized that though security is important but the government could tackle it better without the ban on Okada operations.

According to the monarch, “majority of the criminals in police records are not Okada riders”. I don’t rule out the fact that Okada riders can constitute nuisance yes they do. But even in the parliament, the politicians fight. The lawyers even fight in court. So where lies the difference? So if the government say the ban is based on security risk, before the ban, the government should have called the people who are involved in the trade and warn them that if certain crime does not stop, within a specified period of time, their operations will be banned. So the people will go back and ensure that the fight against crime is intensified. Even if they say everybody should be using cars, there is no assurance that from now till December there will not be cases of armed robbery or kidnapping. Crime has been there right from the beginning of the earth. We the people of Ika, are not criminally inclined and crime is not peculiar to us.

The monarch further described the ban on Okada operations as a deliberate punishment to the downtrodden and tactical sabotage to the Federal Government’s interest, especially during the elections period, as the electorate would find it very cumbersome to go the polling units to exercise their franchise.

He urged the State Government and other relevant authorities to look into the current ban on Okada in Ika land and stipulate the areas where the Okada riders are free to operate with the two local government areas to prevent the people from being misled. The monarch also expressed disapproval with the manner which the enforcement agents impounded motorcycles from their warehouses and also those parked in the banks and other offices, adding that since the motorcycles were not in use, they ought not to have been impounded.

Delta 2015: Trends and Challenges before aspirants

Uduaghan,Okowa,Ochie

Even with the contention on whether power shift to Delta North is a desirable political option, there are new dynamics in the trends of the shaping contest that points to the fact that the key to the Government House in 2015 will go to the Anioma nation unless the political actors from the region bungles the opportunity.

As events unfold on the political scene, the critical issues remain that dominate the space are that of equity, justice and fairness for all sections of the state. There are also issues of the collective aspiration of the people to produce the next governor against the personal ego of the political actors, but above all, the need to eschew any form of imposition of aspirant, from any quarter.

Uduaghan, Gbagi, Okowa and Ochei
Watchers of the unfolding political trends in Delta State will ignore the body language of the present occupant of the Unity House at Okpanam road, at their own peril. It important to understand of the thinking of the man who whose tenure expires on May 29, 2015.

What is clear is that the entrance of the former Permanent Secretary, Government House,Chief Tony Obuh, into the governorship race has become the game changer.

Game changer
The shape of the battle ahead are beginning to emerge and even the doubting Thomas’s will begin to accept the fact that the key to the government House in Asaba may indeed go to a Delta North person.

Who that person would be remains a matter of high level politicking
First, there is going to be a resistance from the political class and entrenched interest in the politics of the state. Secondly, there will be a re-alignment of forces by those who want to cling to anybody that gets into office by those whose mission in politics is stomach infrastructure.

It will mean redrawing the political map of the State in a very significant way. This will manifest in the ascendancy of minorities, who may hold the balance of power in the new process of social and political re-engineering of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan who has said that he will not hand over power to “over ambitious politicians.”

Secondly, it has redefine the content and character of the 2015 battle both for the PDP and the opposition parties that are waiting for PDP to bungle.

Matters arising from the entrance of Tony Obuh
It is still too early to draw conclusions on the emerging trends in Delta politics, but there are some key factors must be taken into considerations.

The first will be the disposition of the national leadership of the ruling party which is now facing the crisis of managing what the political class in the state is calling imposition of an aspirant on them. But Dr. Uduaghan has tried to show that he was not imposing any aspirant on the state by staying away from Chief Tony Obuh’s thanks giving event in Agbor this last week end.

This notwithstanding, Obuh is seen as an aspirant who enjoys the confidence of his boss and that seems to be galvanizing osmotic pull of crowd towards his direction.

Chief Obuh may not have a pedigree as a politician but he comes without any baggage which makes his entrance attractive.

The promoters of Delta United for Tony Obuh are people who are seen to be very close to the powers that be in the state.

The expected backlash
As stated earlier, it will be interesting to see how the leadership of the Party in the State and at the national level handles the emerging scenario without implosion.

Delta state is a predominantly PDP state and any candidate that gets its ticket is presumed to have a greater chances of winning but, chairman of Anioma Agenda, Barrister Alex Onwuadiamu said the elections in Ekiti and Osun states have left some valuable lessons for the leadership of PDP to guide them in making any decision in Delta state. On the other hand the APC is watching to see where the blunder from PDP will be a blessing in disguise for it.

Okowa’s burden
Chief Tony Obuh hails from Ika and many observers believe his entrance will have significant impact on the aspirations of Dr. Ifeanyi A. Okowa, the seating Senator for Delta North who was seen by many as one of the leading contenders in the race.

He is believed to enjoy a broad based support across the state and his supporters argue that he had the promise of Chief James O. Ibori, in 2007, to step down for the incumbent governor and prepare to succeed him at the end of his eight year term.

Now, the Ika nation will have to choose between Dr. Okowa and Chief Tony Obuh. Whoever picks the governorship ticket between the will mean that the Senate seat that is presently held by Dr. Okowa, will be tossed up. Ika nation will not hold the governorship and the Senate seat at the same time. This will bring the Aniocha/Oshimili and Ndokwa Federal Constituencies into the fray. Already, Chief Peter Nwaoboshi and Dr. Maryam Alli, Hon. Pascal Adigwe have lined up while many people expect Prince Ned Nwoko who contested in 2011, to stage a comeback.

Challenges before the Aspirants
The political atmosphere in Delta State is simmering. The political class in the state is up in arms to resist what they consider to be an attempt by the governor to manipulate the issue of who succeeds him in 2015. But that notwithstanding the three Senatorial zones have lined up their men in spite of the strong agitation for equity, justice and fair play. From the Central Senatorial District, there is robust challenge to the idea of Delta North producing the next governor. From this zone we have the likes of Chief Great Ogboru, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, Olorogun Otega Emerhor, Olorogun David Edevbie, Obarisi’ Ovie Omo-Agege as the key contenders. Olorogun David Edevbie,the former Commissioner for Finance was hailed as”the man that Delta State needs and the last minute joker for Delta Central”. Edevbie was the Principal Secretary to late President Umar Yar’Adua and was expected to galvanize the Urhobo nation in quest to regain power in 2015. But in the event of PDP insisting that Delta North should get it, then it will be a catch 22 situation for Olorogun Edevbie for whom the option of going to fly the flag of an opposition party will be far-fetched.

This is a challenge facing the likes of Obaris Ovie Omo Agege who contested for primaries in 2007 and later joined Action Congress of Nigeria, in 2011 and mounted a stiff opposition to Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, when his election was annulled in 2011.

The former Minister of State for Education is Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has the resources to challenge for the office but his effort to create a support base in Delta North remains an uphill task given the determination of aspirants from Delta North not to play a second fiddle.

Former Minister for Niger Delta Affairs Elder Godsday Orubebe is only notable aspirants from Delta South in the race.

Even in a fair contest the former Minister will put the ruling PDP in a situation where it has to explain why a particular senatorial zone will have a straight back to back hold on such a sensitive position.

Delta North Train
The other outstanding aspirants include: Chief Victor Ochei, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu,Chief Jackson Opone, Chief Charles Emetulu, Chief Godswill Obielum, Prof Sylvester Monye and Dr, Ngozi Olejeme who is one of the female aspirants.

Until the recent events that forced his resignation from office as the speaker of Delta Sate House of Assembly, Hon. Victor Ochei was one of the formidable aspirants for the office of the governor of the State.

The former Speaker has strength of character and courage which his detractors find very uncomfortable in the state where sycophancy had become an industry.

Ochei has the structure and the financial muscle, the vision and intellect to weather the storm. He has also fought bruising electoral battles in the past. He is an electoral asset that PDP would not toy with.
Hon. Godwin Ndudi Elumelu is another tested hand in electoral battle front. This two term member of the House of Reps, representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency has the political structure, financial muscle and political sagacity to clinch the ticket.

Chief Clement Ofuani has been seen many analysts as one of the aspirants in terms of his vision, level headed, forthrightness and competence o govern the state.

Prof Sylvester Monye who is the Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Project Monitoring is considered to be a front runner although he has no electoral track record comparable to the likes of Okowa, Elumelu, Ochei, Utomi, Okocha, and Obielum

While it is desirable to have female voices Nigeria’s Governor’s Forum, the truth is that Delta state may not prepared to have a female as the Chief Executive. This is the major obstacle to Dr. Ngozi Olejeme and Dr. Esther Uduehi who are also formidable aspirants in their own right.

With entrance of Sir Tony Obuh in the race, it will be interesting to see who far Dr. Festus Okubor and Prince Sam Obi will manage their own aspiration when it comes to choosing between Dr. Okowa and Sir. Tony Obuh for Ika nation. It will be unwise to ignore the influence of Chief James O.Ibori and the National leadership of PDP in this race. Also crucial will be the role of Dr. Cairo Ojugboh the South South regional Chairman of the ruling Party who hails from Ika and finally, the position of Anioma Congress in canvassing that there should be a power shift and that a qualified and tested hand should be selected from Delta North.

Barrister Alex Onwuadiamu is of the view that the election in Ekiti State and Osun States would seem to suggest that Nigerians would defeat any policy or action that they are not comfortable with regardless of the incumbency factor. With 25 local government councils in Delta state, none of the three Senatorial zones can singularly produce the Governor for the State. A combined strength of Delta South and Delta Central will produce 16 states, but to win the require 25% spread, the winner will get 17 Local Governments. Those who claim that Delta Central alone produces 60% of the votes in the state are being economical with the truth. The truth is that negotiation cooperation and and collaboration are the key factors.

Tears, Pains As Delta Enforces Okada Ban in three Local Government Areas

Agbor_Okada_Ban_Motorcycle_Ban_in_Boji_Boji_Metropolis
BY ANDREW IKEHI

Unprecedented outburst of tears and pains were evident yesterday in Ika South and Ika North East local government areas of Delta State as the state government commenced enforcement on the ban of motorcycle operation (Okada) in both local government areas.

During the exercise that lasted several hours by the State Directorate of Transport alongside a team of Military personnel and tricycle union in the state, over 50 motorcycles were confiscated by the state taskforce.

The State Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Benson Igbakpa who led the team noted that though the level of compliance was not 100 per cent, but described it as commendable, just as he explained that a similar exercise which commenced in Sapele recorded higher level of compliance.

While commending the Military for their cooperation during the exercise, Hon. Igbakpa decried the absence of the Police stressing that despite his formal invitation to them for the exercise, they failed to show up.

Meanwhile, contrary to insinuations in some quarters that a political big shot in the area was behind the ban, the Transport Commissioner said, “Let me use this opportunity to correct this ‘devilish and malicious rumour’, because, we have since received the information that a particular politician in Ika North East was the brain behind this exercise. The said Politician is not part of the State Exco and I wonder why he should be accused of influencing the state government’s decision. That rumour is evil and, malicious” Igbakpa said. While reaffirming that the ban cuts across every nooks and crannies of the affected local government areas, Igbakpa advised residents in the area to be patient with the state, just as disclosed that the ban was in the best interest of Deltans as it seeks to address the increasing security challenge in the affected local governments.

Some of the residents, who spoke with our correspondent in the area, decried the ban Íwhich they noted will rather heighten their sufferings just as they observed that “Okada was their only means of transportation given what they described as the poor road network in the area as well as considering the fact that local governments are mainly agrarian communities.

The POINTER reports that the commencement of the ban in the three recent local governments, bring the local government areas already affected in the state to eight.

DIFFERENCES IN RELATIONSHIP

Differences in relationship

How many friends have you lost because of differences? How many relationships have been broken because of unacknowledged or unrecognised differences between the people in relationship?

The book of Romans teaches us that all of us have made mistakes we regret and all of us have sinned and been forgiven (Romans 3:22-24). This forgiveness must be extended to our neighbours, our friends, our family, our colleagues for a forgiving heart paves the way for harmonious relationships.

If two people come together in relationship, they must recognise this difference of temper in them for their relationship to endure or last. If one is weak in one area, he might be strong in another area. This means, they have their weaknesses and strengths. Those differences are what make them unique - a feature they must recognise in each other. In other words, you must recognise the differences in your qualities and natural gifts you are endowed with.

If you reject one on account of their weaknesses, you also reject his strength. Who knows, many have rejected their prospective helpers because of their inability to see beyond the situation at hand. A person who is a thorn in your flesh today, may be the one to help you tomorrow. As Jesus said to Peter in one moment, “Get behind me, you are satan to Me,” in another moment said, “You are Peter; upon this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:13-23).

Success is a collection of relationships. It is by relationship that people bring out what others lack for the benefit of us. So set aside the differences to bring about compassion and relationship among us. Let your strength help your brother's weakness and let your weakness be helped by their strength. I am because you are; you are because I am.

Further Biblical Reading:
Acts 15:6-11
Hebrews 13
Matthew 18:21-35

Meet Boy Born Without Face, Struggling For Normal Life

Meet a three-year-old Moroccan boy, Yahya El Jabaly, who was literally born without face but with a great desire to live a normal life.
face-none-struggle1_280x210
Yahya has no eyes, a hole in the middle of his face where his nose should be and no upper jaw

Yahya was born deformed, he has no eyes, a hole in the middle of his face where his nose should be and no upper jaw. Such a deformation was caused by complications during Yahya’s mother pregnancy period that stopped the bones in his face from fusing together.
face-none-struggle2_280x210
embracing love of his parents helped him to grow into a happy and healthy toddler

However, embracing love of his parents helped him to grow into a happy and healthy toddler. After Yahya’s sad story became known on Facebook, a compassionate woman from Melbourne, Fatima Baraka visited the boy and helped his parents to contact a talented doctor who was able to correct the mistake of nature.

“He may not die if we don’t operate on him, but he might if we do.”

And now there is hope for a little fighter to become an ordinary boy and live a normal life as the same surgeon who separated Bangladeshi-born conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna, Tony Holmes, expressed his willingness to help and operate the boy. Yahya and parents immediately headed to Melbourne, Australia, to meet Dr. Holmes and after series of serious tests it was decided that Yahya would undergo surgery in December.
face-none-struggle4_280x210
“I believe that it’s the right of everybody to look human and this kid doesn’t look human.”

Mr Holmes said, “He may not die if we don’t operate on him, but he might if we do. I believe that it’s the right of everybody to look human and this kid doesn’t look human. We’re not experimenting on him, we want to get a good result.”

Thanks to the progressive medicine there is a possibility to bring the two sides of his skull together and build him a nose with his own skin. There is also a chance that the toddler will be able to speak after the procedure due to his vocal chords remaining intact. Let’s hope for the best and pray for the boy!

Synagogue building collapse was controlled demolition-Emmanuel Tv

 Strange-Plane-scoann_280x166
A spokesman for a media outfit of the church, Emmanuel Television, Mr Ken Emeakayi was on ChannelsTv on Monday and stood by the church's stand that the hovering aircraft had to do with the collapse ..He said..

“We are investigating the incident for the world to know what actually happened. When you look at the clip you will see that it was not just the aircraft hovering. At the point of the incident, there was explosion.It is possible they were either dropped or planted and the aircraft will have to come and detonate it.The persons in the building said that the noise they heard suggested that it was an explosion.Those involved in the act may not have been aware of the security cameras.
“With modern technologies explosive devices could be detonated without a loud noise.
There were about four explosives that were detonated in the building from the much the CCTv could capture and because we know that there would be fragments from the explosive, we are calling for an investigation,”

The Emmanuel Tv spokesman said that the presiding priest, Prophet TB Joshua, could have been the target, explaining that the incident occurred after the same strange aircraft had hovered around a prayer ground where the pastor usually holds prayer sessions in the morning.

“A strange helicopter was hovering around the prayer mountain when the man of God was there. It was the time he was supposed to be at the mountain but he had left. They thought he was still there but he has gone back to the church.

“After the man of God left the prayer mountain, this same aircraft came to the church premises. The first time it was sighted was at 11:30am local time at a very low altitude hovering over this story building and we have clips.It was about 40 feet from the building. The same aircraft hovered about four times. At an interval of nine minutes, five minutes,”

 Mr Emeakayi said that the church had submitted the video clips to security agencies for investigation but that they had not received any news about how far the investigation had gone.
He dismissed allegations that the construction of the building did not follow standard rules, stressing that the church had followed every requirement.

There have been rumours that the approval for the building was for a fewer number of floors, but Mr Emeakayi said that the church had approval to erect a 12-story building in the place but had only stopped at six floors.

Contrary to the claims of the spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency south-west region, Ibrahim Farinloye, that members of the church prevented the agency from gaining access into were the building was, Mr Emeakayi said that the persons referred to as members of the church must be sympathisers.

Fashola Speaks On Synagogue Probe

tb-joshua-fashola-walker.jpg

Lagos State Government would follow due process in the investigation of the September 12 building collapse at the Synagogue Church of All Nations, in Ikotun, Lagos, this is according to Governor Babatunde Fashola.

The governor made the statement while receiving members of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners in Ikeja, on Monday, 29 September, 2014, according to Punch report.

Fashola stated that the state government would not yield to pressure from those who wanted immediate action on the building collapse but would act methodically on the issue.

He informed that most of the pronouncements made on the incident did not reflect what actually happened and called on people to stop making comments that could bring more confusion into the situation.

“On this issue, we are going to act methodically. We are going to act in a civilised manner. This is what we discussed at the State Executive Council today.

“We are not going to, without evidence, say this person has done wrong. Investigations are always painstaking and are done through scientific processes.

“This is the way that every civilised society develops. And we must assume that all the necessary provisions of law will be complied with. That is our track record here and nothing less will happen in this case,” Fashola said.

Fashola described NITP as the state’s partner in progress and said his administration would continue to work with the association in ending the menace of building collapse in the state.

NITP National President, Chief Steve Onu, urged the state government to ensure that a thorough investigation was carried out to unearth the culprits of the disaster.

“This is a good opportunity at getting insight into the incidence of building collapse and know whether it happened by technical or natural occurrence,” he said.

It would be recalled that a coroner of inquest was set up by the Lagos state government for the purpose of investigating the cause of the building collapse that has reportedly killed at least 115 people.
