yanshDoctor:
we all knows that the cleanup is nothing but politicking. even buhari knows this very well. that's why he didn't attend. there is no political will for the cleanup excesses it's all jamboree to buy sympathy from Niger Delta. now they want to negotiate with countless of promises they have made including during election they haven't fulfill anyone. believe this government at your own risk.

it baffles me bro

your beating ehn! all dis our stupid officers.

By Ross Alabo-George

There are a few questions that are still pending in regards to the Ogoni cleanup that has being flagged off.

How do you flag off a project when there is no funding for the project. The FG has a counterpart funding (to the $1b cleanup fund) as JV partner to make, but has no mention of Ogoni in the 2016 budget.

Where in the World is a project flagged off without a project manager or project coordinator?

Where is the Cleanup implementation plan? What’s the scope and extent of the first phase. What methods? What are the deliverables and timelines?

What about HYPREP, the agency that is the vehicle for the cleanup? As at today, all HYPREP staff are still at home. Their salaries still unpaid for over a year.
What exactly is the president flagging off, when no contract has been awarded? While I am happy that the administration considers Rivers state safe enough to commence such a highly technical, interdisciplinary assignment that may involve hundreds of expatriate scientists, my final question is:

Why does the Rivers APC still want the election tribunal to sit out of Rivers state?

For me, even the recommendations of the UNEP report is a big fraud sponsored by Shell. In 1994, a US Federal jury in Anchorage ordered the Exxon Corporation to pay $5 billion in punitive damages to about 34,000 fishermen and other Alaskans who said they were harmed by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

See how Ogoni politicians are celebrating and politicizing a $1billion cleanup for over 50 major spill incidents and a volume that dwarfs the Exxon Valdez spill.

In one of his books, Ken Saro-Wiwa prayed to live only because he wanted to ”re-vitalize Ogoni.. and get it’s youth to learn the ropes so they can carry on the struggle in his absence. One will wonder, where they are now.

Anioma people are the indigenous Igbo people of Delta State.

They make up about one-third of Delta State, and for administrative purposes they are referred to as Delta North thus contrasting Delta Central and Delta South densely inhabited by the Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko, Ijaw, and Itsekiri, the other ethnic groups inhabiting Delta State.

The Anioma region has a total population of 1,114,055.

The population figure quoted here does not include those of Anioma communities located outside Delta state.

Anioma as you have it today are not all Some Anioma population can be found in neighboring Edo State specifically in Igbanke (Igbo Akiri), Oza and Ekpon.

The term Anioma means 'Good Land' in Igbo and is also an acronym derived from the four original local governments i.e. (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika, (O) for Oshimili, M and A are common denominators found in the four original local governments.

The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay in 1951 and has since remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves.

Thus, A-N-I-O-M-A. Sentimentally, there are also Anioma people in Anambra State i.e. Onitsha, Ogbaru, Akwukwu Obosi, Ozobulu, Ogidi.

Some are in Imo State i.e. Oguta, Rivers State i.e. Ndoni. Anioma people who had one destiny prior to the coming of the Europeans were balkanized after they lost the Ekumeku War of resistance against the British imperialism in 1914 after 31 years of fighting.

The Ekemeku War was the longest resistance against British imperialism in Biafra.

- Nigerian-Biafran War

Some of the Biafran war commanders were of Anioma origin but the most famous of them all were Colonel Joseph Oseloka "Hannibal" Achuzie (Retd) and Capt. Anuku, who was the commander of Biafran Navy.

Achuzie was a militiaman who played active roles in the invasion of Midwestern region which included his home town, Asaba.

Achuzie can again be remembered for the very active roles he played in the defense of Onitsha against series of attacking efforts made by Colonel Murtala Mohammed to take over the city and constitute threat to the Biafran bids.

He was often accused of propaganda gem.

There was also Colonel (Later Brigadier) Conrad Nwawo another Anioma indigene who was Administrative Officer, Biafran Army Headquarters, former Divisional commander of the Biafran Army and a one time Nigerian Defence Attache in London.

Others are Major Ananaba who effectively defended the main Uzuakoli-Umuahia road which was effectively achieved, Colonel Michael Okwechime was another Division commander of the Biafran army and once the Adjutant-General.

Colonel Ben Nwajei formerly of the 53 Brigade was the first commander of the 14 Division, as the commander of 53 Brigade he never lost any battle for a relatively short time. He finally captured Oguta for Biafra.

He was soon removed from command of 14 Division and all military duties by Colonel Ojukwu after he lost Owerri and told some members of delegates that visited him that it was so because he had no ammunition.

Ojukwu accused him of demoralizing the civilians and attached him to Civilian Fuel Directorate. There still numerous numbers of Anioma indigenes who commanded the Biafran Army.


- Civil War Genocide

The genocide of Anioma by Gen. Murtala Mohammed and Major Gen. Ibrahim Haruna (Retd), during the Nigerian Civil War started on the 21 of September, 1967 on the recapture of Benin City from the Biafrans sweeping large Anioma towns of Asaba, Ogwashi-Uku, Ibusa, Otutu, Ishiagu, Igbodo, Aboh and Ushisha but the massacres carried out in Asaba remains the most severe and unforgettable in which mostly helpless women, youths and children were killed in rapidity by the federal troops.

It has been noted that the massacres were organized and mostly carried out under the supervision of Maj Gen Ibrahim Haruna (Retd) and the reason was that Gen Murtala Muhammed was aggrieved and suspicious of the Anioma as having aided their Igbo kinsmen to invade the Mid west.

Gen. Yakubu Gowon (Retd) the then Head of State would later apologize to the Igbo community, while Major-General Ibrahim Haruna, the General officer Commanding (GOC) Two Division of the Army during the Civil War while testifying at the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission Panel aka Oputa Panel held in 2004, insistently maintained that he had no regret for the Asaba massacres in which the Igbo were killed by his troops since it was motivated by sense of duty to protect the unity of the country, he stated this under cross examination by Ohanaeze Ndiigbo group.

Anioma in Ohanaeze Ndiigbo

On November 29, 2008, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization announced the election of Ambassador Ralph Uwechue, an Anioma indigene as its President-General to pilot its affairs for the next two years.

He was nominated by Delta State branch of Ohanaeze as their consensus candidate in a resolution reached at the palace of the Asagba of Asaba after the position was zoned to Anioma, one of the seven units that make up Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

But in his acceptance speech, Uwechue expressed gratitude to all and called for unity among Igbo, which is said to possess the talent to and wealth it would take to take to address national issues, while also noting that the position given to him has created confidence that the Igbo from Delta State are accepted as brothers and sisters in Ohanaeze.

Finally, he promised not to disappoint Anioma people as the race is for Anioma home and abroad.

It's not hot.

The volunteers were probably actors.

really??

A South African pastor, Apostle Thamsanqa Sambulo, claimed he performed a miracle and an apostle of God after he allegedly poured boiling water on himself and members of his church.

The KwaZulu Natal-based young pastor is the founder of Thy Word Kingdom Harvest Ministries which has been making headlines because of lots of reasons.

He has been having revivals across the country and he recently performed a miracle which left everyone shocked.
Trying to bring back what happened when the Biblical Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego were thrown into the lake of fire and were not burn, Apostle Sambulo boiled a kettle of water and started demonstrating on his church members by pouring the boiling water on them.

The Facebook page of Thy Word Kingdom Harvest Ministries told the story of Sambulo’s miracle claim.

According to the post, one evening during a church gathering, Sambulo asked a member of his church to “go boil water in a kettle at the kitchen”.

Sambulo then allegedly hugged the kettle “on his chest”.
The post read: “The congregation was in shock, as they shouted: ‘NO!’ (sic) Some couldn’t even look.

“He then asked: ‘Who has faith here?’ (sic) One by one, people came and did what the apostle did, and were not hurt. He re-boiled the water… as he did…one young woman came to him and said; ‘Papa I have faith, pour it on my hand as hot as it is.’

“The Son of God first poured on Himself, then poured unto this lady. The rest of the congregation, one by one followed, as they also wanted to test their faith.”
