The Emohua Local Government Chairman, Chidi Lloyd is causing havoc in communities and killing Small businesses in the local government with his recent biased bylaw.

The Emohua Local Government Chairman, Chidi Lloyd is causing havoc in communities and killing Small businesses in the local government with his recent bylaw.

Dr. Chidi Lloyd was the former Rivers State House of Assembly lawmaker that hit the mace on his fellow lawmaker's face and his set of teeth fell off till date. Which resulted to the man using artificial teeth for the rest of his life.

Back to the matter, my cousin brother recently got a loan to start a business, which he got into oil milling business in his community Elele Alimini in Local Government Area. Before now, Chidi Lloyd acquired hectres of land in his hometown, Akpabo, where he planted oil palms to start running red-oil milling in a larger quantity. However, In order to packout millers(monopoly) he perceive as competitors in the LGA, he is passing this bill into bylaw to either make them pay registration fees through their nose or foldup.

Secondly, my cousin's community, Elele Alimini was a peaceful community before this man was appointment/elected as local government Chairman, but he came into power and started his divide and rule game as a dictator under the guise of LGA chairman.

How it started, there was a peaceful functioning youth body in this community, the then chairman's 3 year tenure elapsed, and they gave room for aspirants to vying for any position to pick the form but no one was coming out to contest as the youth chairman, maybe because the outgoing chairman performed excellently well, which set a landmark for the position. So after the window of the said positions closed without anyone coming out for the chairmanship position, the youth told the outgoing chairman to go for second tenure since it is permitted in their constitution. It was there that one Mr. Chimene Asomeji( 50yrs old) with 3 other persons, went to Chidi Lloyd and told him to use him that the outgoing is an APC man, that he should make him(Chimene Asomeji) the youth chairman, which Childi Lloyd heeded to and forcefully planted him as the caretaker chairman on the community youth, citing that Rivers State government under governor Wike prohibits Youth body of any form, but planting his urchin as the youth caretaker chairman which led to the nonexistence of the youth body in that community because nobody want to associate with the mischief till date.

And again, due to Chidi Lloyd's interest in causing crisis in Elele Alimini, he has used politics to divide every arms of the community leadership, which the CDC is not left out. Hence the leadership of Ogha(Oldest traditional persons), and the chiefs council had earlier constituted different CDC bodies in conflicting dimensions, but instead of Chidi Lloyd to weigh into the matter and resolve it, he, again, planted this same youth caretaker chairman to be the CDC chairman.

But instead of this Chinedu to make peace with his community, he went with touts to the market to ticket traders. My cousin’s family, Omu-gege of Omohiaa and Wonah of Omuse families happen to be the landlords of this market.
This market revenue generation management was the cause of the crisis in Alimini arms of leadership. That is, who to collect the ticket money from the market.
It may interest you to know that Elele Alimini is a host of rice mill factory, Olo and Mininta etc, among other oil companies. But none of these landlords has ever been chaired by CDC or any other arm of the community leadership. They only go to the market landlords to flex their muscles.

Alimini market has landlords comprising Omu-gege of Omohiaa and Wonah of Omuse families. And the market revenue generation, according to the court ruling and community agreement, that the revenue should be shared 40% to Omu-gege of Omohiaa and Wonah of Omuse families, outside other homage to be paid to the landlord on yearly basis. While 60% to the community for developmental projects.

But since 1999 or thereabout, none of these agreements had been honoured. Any community CDC just go into the market and amass wealth for themselves living the market landlords wonder around.

And that let to stoppage of this self-imposed CDC leadership led by Chimene Asomeji by the landlords until the community settles them with the accumulated revenue percentage and homage as agreed before the community and lawcourt.

Meanwhile, the market landlords had earlier this January sue the appropriate arms of Alimini leadership before a magistrate/customary court seeking to redress the agreement issue and to take charge of the market until the CDC issue in the community is settled. But this same Chimene Asomeji went back to his pay master, Chidi Lloyd to inform him that the landlords don't want any faction of the CDC to collect money from the market. Which is why Chidi Lloyd, the Emohua local government Chairman is currently passing into bylaw for the LGA to take charge of the markets within the locality.

This man, Chidi Lloyd is using his position to intimidate, landgrab and ridicule his Emohua local government people.
We call on governor Nyeso Wike and well meaning Nigerians to call Chidi Lloyd to order before causing another intracommunal crisis as he has been doing in other communities of Emolga.

My good people of Nairaland, please advice my cousin brother’s family(Alimini market landlord) on what to do concerning the market. And small scale business owners for this incoming harsh laws.
