FROM THE ISOKO PEOPLE TO BUHARI: GIVE US NDDC TOP JOB


A cry has gone forth from the camp of the Isoko People to President Muhammadu Buhari help bring to an end, the continued marginalisation of the Isoko people from Federal appointments. They asked Mr. President to  quickly correct what they termed as injustice becasue the Isoko nation has not produced or occupied any of such positions since the creation of OMPADEC. They therefore urged the President to consider  and  appoint one of their own, a financially committed, trustworthy and loyal member of the All Progressive Congress Party (APC), as the next Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). This, they  say is  purely for fairness and equity purpose!
Addressing newsmen in Warri, recently, the Coordinator of the Group, Comrade Peter A. Akpotu pointed out that the Urhobo Nation had gotten the Deputy Senate President in the person of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, , a Minister in charge of the Niger-Delta in the person of Barr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), and as such “it is only fair that the Isoko Nation be given the Managing Director of the NDDC”. Comrade Akpotu decried the situation where, from OMPADEC to present NDDC, the Aniomas’, Itsekiris’, Urhobos’ and the Ijaws have produced the Chairmen and Managing Directors respectively excluding the Isokos’. Comrade Akpotu described this very act as “total marginalization”! He therefore pleaded with President Buhari to accede to their plea and do justice more so as the Isoko Nation has the highest oil production quantum presently in Delta State.

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear.   When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises.   It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair.   First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
