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.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

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...
