Ekpeye elites and politicians lack selfless gestures - Edward Imo

I was in a gathering of some friends yesterday and I got wind of the fact that some Ikwerre elites and politicians are aggressively combing their respective communities and families in search of their brothers who put in UST as an admission option so they can give them automatic admission regardless of their scores. 

While I was happy for the ethnic nationalist spirit of these Ikwerre elites and politicians, I was also bleeding in my heart as an Ekpeye man because I know that such selfless gestures are scarce amongst Ekpeye elites and politicians. The typical Ekpeye elite and politician insists that an Ekpeye son seeking admission or employment must be the most qualified in terms of grade before he accepts your application form which he will dispose in his trash can. 

The Ekpeye elites and politicians insist that you must serve them, wash their cars every day, take bullets meant for them on your chest for them to give you a miserable 10k. They prefer to buy the youths goat meat or point and kill pepper soup and cartons of beer rather than give them jobs. Elites and politicians from other tribes don't care to know you one on one to give you job or admission but those from Ekpeye dig into history and recall how your grand father once insulted his great grand father...They forget that one can not force respect but you command it through your actions. 

These elites erroneously expect the youths in their communities to bow to them when they come for weekends...that's a tall dream. The good thing in life is that nothing lasts forever...the youths you have refused to help today would grow up tomorrow to determine the fate of either your grand children or uncles or even yourself. 

Helping an Ekpeye youth does not remove a kobo from your fat bank account...The only remedy to insecurity in Ekpeye and road to rapid development is for the political and elitist classes in Ekpeye to take up the challenge of mass recruitment of Ekpeye youths in their respective offices and the establishment of educational endowment funds for indigent and yet intelligent Ekpeye youths. 

Peace cannot come when the supposed elitist and political classes are busy pouring blames on the traditional institution of which they can regulate. Peace cannot return to Ekpeye when the supposed political and elitist classes are busy holding talks and lavishing their resources on Rhythms and Naija Info over issues that will never give the youths admission or job. 

I will never regret being an Ekpeye because Ekpeye is blessed with a fantastic terrain and awesome socio cultural heritage but bereft of genuine ethnic nationalists. What we have in Ekpeye at the moment are not Ekpeye elites and politicians but selfish and self-centred elites and politicians who are from the ethnic nationality known as Ekpeye.

God save Ekpeye.

One banker shot dead in AHOADA

A senior bank officer based in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, identified as Adewale Adesanya, has been killed by unidentified gunmen in Ahoada area of Rivers State.

The victim said to be 39-year-old was reportedly killed on Saturday at 3pm by the gunmen who shot at him repeatedly until he died.

Friends described Wale who hails from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State as a socialite, well known in Yenagoa.

Wale, who was married with two children with his wife pregnant for the third, was said to be driving his car to Port Harcourt in the company of two others when the assailants swooped on him close to NNPC filling station after Okobe on the East-West road.

Even when he lost control of the vehicle and skidded into the bush, the hoodlums who were determined to kill him, followed the vehicle and kept shooting at it.

Persons in the vehicle with the victim identified as Haruna and Samson were said to be known by the family and friends of the deceased.

The two men reportedly escaped into the bush when they noticed that the gunmen were still coming towards the car as the late banker tried to crawl out with his last strength.

Samson who later arrived Yenagoa, said that one of the gunmen repeatedly told a member of the gang to “finish him up” and “offload him”,

A team of policemen from the Ahoada-East Area Command were said to have arrived later at the scene of the incident to remove the corpse and the car.

Sources who said they were jolted by the gunshots added that the assassins only took the mobile handset of the slain banker.

It was gathered that the victim with 10 years banking experience, was an account officer to many of the ex-militants on the payroll of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).

FCB# - Man City close in on Bravo

BARCELONA WILL DEFINITELY GONNA MISS CLAUDIO BRAVO.

The goalkeeping dilemma is over at Barcelona, because one of the world best goalkeepers is leaving. Bravo wasn't among the best goalkeepers in the world until he joined Barcelona. Breaking a record that stood more than 20 years in La Liga history. Keeping clean sheets on a regular basis and protecting and commanding a shaky Barcelona defence and by so doing, established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the modern game coupled with a lot of experience. Bravo is just everything you need as a goalkeeper. No wonder since he joined Barcelona, Barca has always won La liga (back to back) But is so unfortunate he had to compete with another fantastic goalkeeper in Marc Ter Stegen (The 2nd Manuel Neuer) who is a project for the future. Ter Stegen is already a world class goalkeeper, but keeping every week will even improve him to been one of the world's best
.
Manchester City and Barcelona have agreed a transfer deal for goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who will join the Citizens on a four-year contract for a €20 million transfer fee. Bravo will fly to Manchester in the upcoming days for medicals.
Bravo has been linked with Pep Guardiola's team for months, as was Marc-André ter Stegen, his teammate and "rival". The Chilean and the German battled for two years for the undisputed starting spot at Barcelona, with Bravo playing La Liga matches while Stegen took over the gloves for Cup Games. Multiple reports said Ter Stegen would be given the job this season, which caused Claudio to request a transfer.
Once the request was handed out, Guardiola instantly asked the City board to make the deal happen, and it is now done. Bravo is still expected to stay with the side for the Spanish Super Cup second leg on Wednesday against Sevilla, then travel to England and sign his contract. Ter Stegen is expected back from injury in two weeks meaning La Masia product Jordi Masip who is also a great goalkeeper might be in line to start La Liga.
.
Bravo you are going to be missed for sure. We wish you well in your Career! And for Ter Stegen, put on the gloves and show the world how amazing you are. Is a priviledge to be Barcelona's number 1. Is a dream!
.
BRAVO TO BRAVO. Barcelona will never never forget you!

RIVERS STATE NEEDS NO RE-RUN ELECTION NOW

A Group known as Vanguard for Justice, Equity and Strategy has lauded the INEC for conveying forward the date of the arranged Rivers re-run race as a consequence of ceaseless killings of individuals in the state. 

Talking in a class on Youth brutality in Port Harcourt throughout the weekend, the VP of the group, Hon. Friday Barida Ledilo said that the level of unreliability that is being knowledgeable about the state after Gov. Wike accepted office a year back does not call for just election date, but rather an aggregate affirmation of highly sensitive situation if the government needs to rescue what is as yet staying on paper as a land expression called Rivers State. 

"It is no distortions that we no more have a state we can call our own. Gov Wike and his self advanced clique bunches have adulterated the solace of our dear state. Gov Wike ought to be told in clear terms that what we are enduring today is the seed he planted when he went round the places of the pioneers of known clique bunches requesting for their backing while nursing the aspiration to be Governor of the Rivers state between 2013-2015", Hon. Friday Barida Ledilo accentuated. 

The Vanguard approached INEC to guarantee that until the security circumstance in Rivers State has come back to regularity directing any race in the state ought not be examined, communicating fulfillment for the movement in the date of 30th July, 2016, depicting the choice as an appreciated improvement. 

In a related advancement, a Non-administrative association in Rivers State, the Rivers Pathfinders has depicted Rivers State as a battlefield under Governor Nyesom Wike watching that no significant advancement can be made similarly as Gov Wike keep on taking choices that supports culpability in the state. 

In a press explanation in Port Harcourt against the background of the movement in the date of the re-run race, the Public Relation Officer of the Rivers Pathfinders, Engr Abiye Tamuno Sokari - George while censuring Gov Wike for not satisfying the desires of the general population in his battle against religion gatherings, was brimming with recognition for INEC for practicing alert and being delicate to the cry of the natives of the state in changing the date of the decision in perspective of the security circumstance in the state. 

The Pathfinders portrayed Wike's lip administration to battling frailty in the state as troubling and irritating, contending that Gov Wike's arranged pardon for known cultists adds up to treating the hydra-headed creatures with children gloves. 

"Why ought to Wike deliberately discharged persons who have been kept for homicide since they are individuals from his GDI and PDP few days to the reschedule re-run race notwithstanding the way that he will utilize them to bring about more anarchy in the state ", Engr Abiye Tamuno Sokari - George questioned. 

Engr Sokari - George communicated satisfaction that both INEC and the police authority in Nigeria have overlooked Gov Wike's typical shenanigans of falsely sounding the alarm after he has idealized wrong doings to give impression that it is his adversaries, focusing on that it is just in a favorable air that voters can practice their establishment. The pathfinders approach the security offices in the state to explore the genuine goal of Gov Wike in allowing crooks pardon few days to the re-run race.

RIVERS STATE IN A STATE OF QUAGMIRE - Hon. Emejim Wisdom

Rivers state in a state of quagmire! Civil servants have not been paid for five months. Teachers are dying silently. The school system has collapsed. They said they are doing biometrics, by the time the exercise ends,it will become death metrics. 

Biometrics can be done and concluded in two weeks where there is the political will power.It is indeed a trick to buy time and suffer the poor civil servants. OK, look at this; in Rivers state there's a chronology of sharing things, but they departed from that norm. 

Biometrics should start from Abua, Ahoada east, Ahoada west, e.t.c in that order. Not Obio akpor where the governor comes from, and not Ogba egbema where the PDP party chairman comes from. That is selfishness. Somebody should tell them that civil servants have families, they have responsibilities, they have projects which they have planned to complete before retirement. By this action of non payment, their debt burden has risen geometrically because of d activities of Shylock lenders. 

It is so pitiable and pathetic what teachers and other civil servants are going through. Why play politics with their stomach? Why play politics wit the future of their children? Why will terror and horror not loom d land? Youths are angry because they are hungry. Papas and mamas are dying because of hunger! Mortuary bill is rising because there is no money to fasten d burial process. It is not Buhari, please don't be ignorant and naive! Cross River state is not owing, Delta state is not owing, Edo state is not owing, Sokoto, Kaduna, Lagos etc are not owing. How come the second in command in Federal allocation benefit is owing?

My dear brothers in P-D-P, I know you guys are suffering and smiling. Those in APC are watching. They are already adapted to hunger. 

We know that at most its for 8 years. P-D-P faith-Fools, continue to pretend till death do u part. Don't shout, don't cry out like d blind Bathemius in the bible. The party will be there and they will render your service of songs. What an irony, "people in power hunger for food"? Oh that's too bad!

Ekiti workers could no longer bear it, they cried out. Rivers P-D-P workers, endure on, your reward is in heaven! JUST AN ADVICE...

Hon. Emejim Wisdom received these replies from listeners:

This problem is applicable to all the states in Nigeria, the APC lead federal govt has failed in it's campaign bogus promises. During the time of G.E.J, did u hear of bailout fund, by brother president buhari is not efficient when it comes to economy & foreign policy. What we need now is true federalism, if we continue like this Nigeria will be at the keg of gun powder....................... END


My brother let's not b partisan here, what you talk about in State starts here in the Federal level and not just Rivers alone where you're a Minority. Call Buhari to do the needful.................END


At first everyone thinks a true leadership is Power, but now the reverse. You are ruling a country not the Arm forces. When it comes to economy the federal level is -0 out of 100℅. Let's be realistic, our hardship and hunger is from the federal level, let's stop blaming innocent Governors. Buhari needs to wake up, many more to come...................................END

Wisdom, you talk as if you're a new man in this country. Or is it because of your sentimental affiliation to APC that made you forget IMO state that is governed by an APC Governor (Okorocha)? Imo state is in a state i can call the worst in west Africa. Go find out yoursef before castigating P.D.P..................END

 Insecurity issue, for years now boko haram took over three LGAs in the north, fedral government couldn't push them out. Buhari n APC promised that in one month, Boko Haram would be a thing of history... how far now? This problem is every where. In Benue a Rev. Father was killed and even APC states re suffering same..............................END


NOW WHAT'S YOUR TAKE??
