Eval Asikong U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E! Till date, Professor Ben Ayade has resisted the pressure to petition Joe Agi (SAN) to National Judicial Commission for the criminal and fraudulent evidence he has filed in the suit against Ayade. Ayade, rather, calls Agi, ''my brother''. I feel so weakened and sobber by this. I suspect that Ayade reads the Holy Bible alot and equally puts into practice the tenets of Christ. This is what majority of so-called-pasto rs cannot do. How I wish Agi will equally realize this on time and pay def ears to ill advisers. Crossriverians, this is our state and we must be resolute in protecting it and keeping our flag of pride hoisted above the heights of limitations. Isn't it marvellous that the same state whose state capital had been the first Federal Capital territory, has today, produced the first-black- inventor-governor in the world? Well, for those who don't know, Ayade invented the very first group water remediation for the Oil and Gas Industry in Africa. To further complement his intimidating, unequalled, outstanding and impeccable records, he had sponored 41 bills in the senate in less than 4years, wow! Which is the highest, ever in Nigeria's Senate History, aside the million Japanese Yen award from his Doctoral Thesis which has attracted global concern. With this trajectroy of legendary, I see a president in the making. Please! Please!! Please!!! Other states are copying from us. Let us not bring our glories to meet hand-in-hand with an undeserved doom. A man of God had told me that if Cross River falls, the entire country falls. I now understand: who amongst other governors, in the whole Africa, comparatively, has a near-record to that of Ayade? None. As Ayade often mentions, ''God! God!! God......'' It is, almost, impossible, in a world absolutely ruled by science, technology and inclined to realism, and where it is believed that people often seek recourse to faith when they are handicapped in profering solutions to problems within their envrionment, yet, a GOVERNOR is so humble to totally rely on God, irrespective of his extra ordinary history and records. The world has a lot of lessons to learn from.

And please tell us which are the states in Nigeria copying from us. Only the Kaduna State governor seems to be making serious in roads on governance oooh as it stands today...good government isn't personality contest. Edited · Like · Reply · Report · 3 hours ago Wofai Ewa I will not comment on the legal matter but Ben Ayade as a model professional is exemplary...and this is not praise-singing because I do not even know him as a person but respect his works and achievements. You are right about CRS being strategic to the Nation of Nigeria but only visionaries can see that and so again it is sad that the state of Cross River is in such a bad state. Lovers of CRS can only hope that the dust settles quickly so proper work can begin to pull this sick giant off her backside and back on her feet. It is long overdue. On the issue of the presidency, it is my desire and hope that the terrible failings of the only South-South President of Nigeria will not come back to haunt us as a people. We had a chance to show this nation that the Niger Delta can produce a great leader and so we can deserve to produce more leaders in the future. But that dream may turn out to be a very tall order because the only president we were 'lucky' to produce failed his people and the nation, woefully. He stumbled on the role and proved that it was a real stumble. Let us concentrate on CRS and be mindful that the APC-led federal government may not be beneficial to a PDP-led CRS, unless there are plans underway for that to change. However, if in the future the Niger Delta region is lucky enough to get a chance to produce another president, I presume it should be a current protégé of Ben Ayade, and not Ben Ayade himself. But then again, who knows tomorrow? Edited · Like · 3 · Reply · Report · 1 hour ago Edmund James Abang @Peter Offem Ubi I agree with you on this. Good governance has never been or is it still been measure by personality. Performance is what the people want to see, you don't need to patronized the people with words about the last championship you won. The people are waiting for action, its three months plus down the road oooo!!!

Edited · Like · Reply · Report · 1 hour ago Joseph Patrick @ Eval. ur analysis are factually true and ur figure accurate. I could say CRS is the only state that is yet to borrow money, yet still, projects are ongoing. Can't we ask ourself were are the monies coming from? Workers Salaries are paid on or before 25 of every month whereas other state borrow/ opten loan to pay her workers salaries and to execute projects as well as other financial need that may subsequently come up. It is pretty sad, come to think of the financial status the state inherited from the outgone administration. At the federal, the govt is said to have been clearing the mess inherited likewise the state. There's a saying that, the foundation of a house will determine how strong it would be. It is not about starting but to finish what u started. The former River State gov started well, but how did he endup? Nobody should push the gov into doing what proper planning is not inplace yet. Carry on the good job able gov. Like · Reply · Report · 1 hour ago Joseph Patrick Ayade is a man whose heart yearn for absolute peace and such act could be the evidence that exhibit his statemanship.
