This is Igbo community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivera State. This community has the highest oil wells in Rivers State.
40% of Rivers population resides in this community, it is a place where commercial and industrial activities take place.
The residents of this community has been in hell for the past 10years suffering bad road despite being the richest oil community in the state. This road leads to the popular Oil-Mill Market that attracts people from all over the country, but here is the poor state of the road.
We plead with Rivers State and Federal government to come to the aid of this people.

Nigerians especially those from the Southern
part of the country on Friday, expressed
concern over the appointments made so far by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
They said the appointments were lopsided and
not in the best interest of the country.
President Buhari is from Katsina State, Senate
President Bukola Saraki and House of
Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, are
from Kwara and Bauchi states respectively. The
judiciary is led by Justice Mahmud Mohammed
from Taraba State.
Of the nine appointments made by Buhari so
far, eight are from the North, while one is from
the South. The appointments are: Director-
General of the State Services, Lawal Daura,
Katsina State; Acting Chairman, the
Independent National Electoral Commission,
Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari, Jigawa State; Director,
the Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr.
Mordecai Danteni Baba Ladan; and the
Accountant-General of the Federation, Alhaji
Ahmed Idris, Kano State.
Others are the State Chief of Protocol, Mallam
Lawal Abdullahi Kazaure; Aide De Camp, Lt.-
Col. Muhammed Lawal Abubakar, Kano State;
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity,
Mallam Garba Shehu; and Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, South-
West.
The appointments, however, drew the ire of
Nigerians who asked Buhari to respect the
country’s principle of federal character.
Already, the Internet, particularly the social
media and blogs, are agog with reactions and
counter-reactions on the matter.
A commentator named Daamazing, on
Nairaland, Nigeria’s largest discussion forum,
accused Buhari of appointing only Northerners
into key positions announced so far.
The enraged citizen said in pidgin, “After all
your mumu promises, one thing you’ve not
achieved, na to dey appoint all the people for
your family tree, dey do tourism up and down.
(After all your promises, you’ve not achieved
anything. All you have done is to appoint your
kinsmen and travel all around the world).”
Another commentator identified simply as
Augster, said, “Buhari, don’t let those who
voted for you down because your appointment
of only Northerners into top positions is
baffling us.”
SenseiX, another Nairaland commentator, said
it was wrong for Buhari to have brought Daura,
the acting DSS DG, from retirement to head the
agency when there were qualified persons from
other regions of the country still in service.
He said, “He ignored the entire senior cadre of
the agency- from Bassey Eteng to the least-
simply because they are Southerners. Even if he
wanted to pick a a Northerner, he should have
picked from the service rather than a 62-year-
old retiree, whose only qualification is being
Buhari’s kinsman, who was in the DSS. When
former President Goodluck Jonathan appointed
Ekpenyong, he was already a Director of
Operations, same for Gadzama, who was
appointed by Umaru Yar’Adua.”
As of the time of filing this report, the story-
Buhari sacks DG DSS, service chiefs may go-
had been read by 30,722 Nigerians on the
PUNCH website, some of who expressed anger
over the development.
A reader named as Ify, said, “In as much as I
do not subscribe to ethnic sentiments, I am
sensitive to the malaise of ethnic distrust in the
country. A wise leader would therefore, thread
cautiously around this landmine. We must
patiently navigate our way out of ethnic bias.
“Let me also point out that Nigeria’s strength is
derived from her diversity, therefore, any
government that wishes to succeed must draw
from our diversity, and not limit itself to the
talents from one region alone.”
Another reader, Omoyooba, said, “In a multi-
ethnic and multi-religious Nigeria, it is
insensitive of him to be making appointments
made up of Northern Muslims. What of the
Christians and the Southerners? President
Muhammadu Buhari should know that former
President Goodluck Jonathan started with
greater goodwill than this in 2011 and he ran it
aground in four years. Buhari should not make
the same mistake. Nigeria belongs to
everybody.”
On Facebook, Fidelis Anumole-Oparaku, who
was apparently disappointed with the situation,
said the President’s ministerial appointments
would not be much better.
He said, “Because he lacks the power to do so
with ministerial appointments, he will likely give
key positions to Northern Muslims, then the
soft ones will be given to Northern Christians
and the South.”
Like the online community, prominent groups
in the South-West – Afenifere, Yoruba Unity
Forum and the Movement for Oodua Republic –
said this kind of lopsided appointments had
never happened in the political history of the
country.
While describing the President’s actions as
worrisome, the YUF Secretary-General, Senator
Anthony Adefuye, warned that the earlier the
situation was reversed, the better, adding that
the YUF would not expect the North to
marginalise the South.
He said, “The fact that the President, Senate
President and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives are from the North is
worrisome. There is no way the North can take
all the principal offices and leave the deputy to
us. It has never happened before and the
earlier it is reverted, the better.
“There is no way that can continue because the
South is not subordinate to the North. The
think tank committee of the YUF will meet soon
to look at the issue and see how it affects the
Yoruba people. However, the development is a
wrong signal that must be corrected.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) records have confirmed that their
electronic Card Readers recorded only 410,000
voters during the last Presidential election in
Kano state.
After the March 28, 2015 Presidential election,
the total number of votes allocated to Kano
state was 2,172,447. This is a total of 1,762,447
votes that is unaccounted for, from the result
released and declared by the Resident electoral
commissioner Alhaji Mukaila Abdullah.
Alhaji Mukaila Abdullah died in mysterious fire
incident immediately after the elections, in
which relatives from Jigawa state, stated that it
was an assassination to cover whatever that
happened during the Presidential election.
Mukaila Abdullah, his wife and children were
roasted alive in their Kano residence.
Meanwhile, Nigerian President elect, Maj Gen
Muhammadu Buhari has announced that he will
investigate the conduct of election in some state
of the Federation.
Nigerians will expect Buhari to start from Kano,
Bauchi, Jigawa, Kaduna and Katsina where Card
Readers captures less than 30% of the votes
allocated to him in the above states.

Painting an ugly scenario in Rivers State, Gov.
Amaechi stated that rather than support
democracy, PDP has been busy doctoring
election results and Voter Register.
“Unfortunately in Rivers State, the PDP is busy
doctoring election results, doctoring Voter
Register as to cover their stolen mandate, and
crying wolf to cover their mischief”.
Amaechi who spoke through the Rivers State
Commissioner of Information and
Communications, Ibim Semenitari, added that
whoever would take over from him has no
reason to panic.
In a statement in Port Harcourt on Friday,
Semenitari dismissed insinuations the outgoing
regime had shown no co-operation with the
man the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, declared winner of the April
11 governorship election in Rivers State. While
dismissing reports the outgoing Administration
has been un-co-operative with the PDP,
Semenitari allayed such fears saying that PDP
already has everything going for it.
“They stole the outcome of the April 11 election
and gave no hoot; they declared their
candidates winners with the criminal connivance
of INEC and cared less about local, national and
international opinion that what took place in
Rivers state on April 11 was everything but an
election. The more APC had pushed for electoral
materials which are statutory demands of an
electoral litigation, the farther PDP and INEC
had kept it, and seemingly, they have had their
way. So, they have all going for them. They have
nothing to worry about. If and when Mr.
Ezebuwon Nyesom Wike, will be sworn in, the
issue of handover notes and other statutory
briefings should not be any worry to him.
Already Wike has as part of his transition team
the State Deputy Governor, Engr. Tele Renner
Ikuru, who is ViceChairman of the Rivers Stare
Executive Council, and who is abreast of all
projects and Programmes of the current
administration, having chaired many sensitive
state government committees as well as state
cabinet meetings.” Semenitari said.
“After all, PDP has constituted Inauguration and
Transition Committees, respectively”.
The Information and Communications
Commissioner who insisted PDP stole the
mandate it is parading, reasoned that with the
pair of Ikuru and Wike, PDP should have no
difficulty with any briefings that they might need
from the current administration. She advised
PDP to learn from APC which has not raised any
hairs despite what are deliberate steps at the
centre to provokethe party. “Governor Amaechi
has not made any new appointment as he
knows he is leaving office, unlike what PDP is
doing at the centre. They are busy sacking and
making appointments, functions that should be
entirely left for the in-coming Administration.
Provocative as it is, APC has rather, concerned
itself with continued preparations to give
Nigerians good governance. APC has refused to
dance to PDP’s evil drumbeats, choosing to
show maturity.
“Let PDP in Rivers state leave Governor Amaechi
alone. He is a busy man and did not contest any
elections. Governor Amaechi is known for
committing his all into any worthy assignment
or duty he is called to do. Having governed
Rivers State for close to eight years, Amaechi
cannot be happier that history and posterity will
judge him fairly. A fact a million PDPs cannot
obliterate”.

In one of the most keenly contested general
elections in British history, four Nigerians won
seats to the revered parliament, making it the
first time such feat would be recorded
Against all odds, David Cameron has won his
re-election bid in one of the fiercest polls in
British history.
Cameron, Prime Minister of Britain, led the
Conservatives to almost a landslide victory
against the Labour Party – a development that
forced arch-rival – Ed Miliband to step down as
head of the opposition.
With the victory, Cameron returns to the iconic
Number 10 Downing Street, the official
residence of British Prime Ministers to continue
with his work of massive reforms and making
Britain greater.
But it is not only Cameron that has been left
smiling following the announcement of winners
– four politicians of Nigerian descent also tasted
victory during the general elections in the
Queen’s land.
Before Thursday’s keenly contested polls in
Britain, not many within and outside it were
familiar with Chuka Umunna, Helen Grant, Chi
Onwurah and Kate Osamor. But by mid-day
Friday, the four have almost become celebrities
of sort after an elaborate media focus on them.
The four Nigerians won seats into the British
parliament, making it the first time such would
be happening in the highly conservative United
Kingdom. While Umunna, a Labour Party
politician who has served Streatham as
Member of Parliament since 2010 and has
enjoyed a meteoric political rise in recent years
is a relatively known face outside Britain, the
profile of the other three was largely unknown
until Friday, a day after the keenly contested
elections, even though Grant and Onwurah had
been Members of Parliament over the last five
years.

Umunna

Born on October 17, 1978 to a Nigerian father
– Bennett and British mother – Patricia,
Umunna began his education at Hitherfield
Primary School in Streatham, South London,
and the Christ Church Primary School in Brixton
Hill. He later moved to St. Dunstan’s College,
Catford, Southeast London where he played the
cello and became a respected prefect in the
school.
Pursuing higher education, the eloquent
Umunna bagged an upper second class in
English and French Law from the University of
Manchester before going to study for one term
at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France.
He would later pick up an MA at the
Nottingham Law School.
Umunna did not just get to the top all of a
sudden – he slowly but vigorously climbed his
way to the centerpiece of British politics. In
2002, after graduating from the university, the
37-year-old began working as a solicitor for
Herbert Smith, a law firm based in the heart of
London. Four years later he joined Rochman
Landau, specialising in Employment Law.
However, he soon began writing and providing
commentary on the Labour Party, as well as
broader social and economic issues, usually in
his capacity as a member of the Management
Committee of the Labour-aligned Compass
pressure group. He also wrote articles for the
Financial Times, Tribune, The Voice, The
Guardian and the New Statesman, and began to
appear on various radio and television
programmes as a commentator. Umunna
would later go on to establish and edited an
online political magazine, The Multicultural
Politic.
In early April 2013, his law firm was linked to
favourable updates made on his Wikipedia
page in 2007, which included a reference to
him being tipped as the “British Barack
Obama”. Earlier in June 2010, he was elected a
member of the Treasury Select Committee
while in October of that year, he was appointed
to serve as a Parliamentary Private Secretary
and, in May 2011 rose to the position of
Shadow Minister for Small Business and
Enterprise until his promotion to the Shadow
Cabinet.

Grant

Grant, born on September 28, 1961, is a
Conservative Party politician and solicitor who
was first elected into the British parliament in
2010. By that feat, she became the first black
woman to be selected to defend a Tory seat
and the Conservatives’ first female black
parliamentarian. She has served as Minister for
Sport, Tourism and Equalities.
In September 2012, Grant received her first
government appointment when she earned the
dual roles of Under-Secretary of State for
Justice and Under-Secretary for Women and
Equalities. She was born in Willesden, North
London to an English mother and Nigerian
father but grew up with her mother’s family
after her parents separated. She lived with her
mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Onwurah

Onwurah, born on April 12, 1965, is a Labour
Party politician, who was elected at the 2010
general election as the Member of Parliament
for Newcastle upon Tyne Central. Onwurah is
Newcastle’s first black MP.
During the depression of the 1930s, her
maternal grandfather was a sheet metal worker
in Tyneside shipyards. Her mother grew up in
poverty in Garth Heads on Newcastle’s
quayside. Her father, from Nigeria, was working
as a dentist while he studied at Newcastle
Medical School when they met and married in
the 1950s.
After Chi’s arrival in 1965, her family moved to
Anambra State when she was still a baby, only
two years before the Nigerian Civil War. The
situation forced her mother to take the children
back to England while her father stayed back to
fight for the Biafran army. She had been a
strong voice in the parliament and her victory
this time around only goes to confirm her rising
reputation in British politics.

Osamor

Osamor, a National Health Service manager,
would be representing Edmonton constituency
in London on the platform of the Labour Party.
A respected trade union activist and women’s
charity trustee, she made funding the NHS and
standing up to government cuts the main
theme of her campaign.
Emerging one of the Labour Party’s shining
lights during a generally poor election outing,
Osamor was declared winner in the North
London seat with 25,388 votes. Her closest
rival, Gonul Daniels of the Conservative Party
ended up with 9,969 votes, making it an
overwhelming victory for her.
The triumph of the four parliamentarians is
seen as a major boost to Nigeria’s international
image especially at a time when leadership has
also changed hands at the centre in the oil-rich
country. The victory is also viewed as cheering
news for Nigerians resident in the United
Kingdom who are often the subject of racism
and segregation in the highly conservative
region.

her movie Royal Balcony and The Princess Lodge

With barely 22 days to the May 28 handover
date, the transition committee set up by
outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan has yet
to meet its counterpart, set up by the
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
This is even as it has come to light that the
handover notes, which the Buhari team is to
study and ask questionson, are not yet ready.
It was gathered in Abuja on Thursday that the
bickering between the two teams over terms of
reference of the Ahmed Joda-led Buhari
Transition Committee is largely responsible for
the stalemate.
The National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
confirmed this in a statement he made
available to newsmen in Abuja.
Mohammed, who is a member of the Buhari
Transition Committee, explained that while the
Jonathan Inauguration Committee had been
meeting with its counterpart in the Buhari
team, “its transitional committee has yet to
even meet with ours.”
The APC spokesman also chided the Political
Adviser to President Jonathan for attacking the
APC over the issue.
It described as provocative and ill-intentioned
the statement credited to the Special Adviser to
the President on Political Affairs, Prof. Rufai
Alkali, that the APC should talk less and plan
more for the nation, and that the party (APC)
was seeking to stampede the President out of
office.
Mohammed said, “Prof. Alkali doesn’t know
what he is saying. How does he expect us to
plan when the Peoples Democratic Party-led
Federal Government has bluntly refused to
cooperate with us in ensuring a successful
transition? As we write, the transition
committee of the Federal Government has yet
to hold a single meeting with our own
transition committee, neither have they given
us a line of handover note.
‘’As a matter of fact, the Jonathan
administration has said the handover notes will
not be ready until the third week of May,
meaning just a week before the handover.
“What time then do we have to scrutinise the
handover notes? How can we plan when we
don’t even know which projects they have and
which ones they have completed and which
ones are outstanding? How can we plan when
we don’t even know how many barrels of oil
are sold per day?’’
The statement also said, ‘’Is it part of their
transition mode that President Jonathan has
been engaged in a rash of feverish last-minute
appointments that, though may not have
breached any known law, are patently in bad
faith, morally repugnant and indecorous.
“They say they are in office until May 29, but
are appointments the only function of a
government? Are there no problems crying for
attention, such as the intractable fuel scarcity,
the worsening power situation, the grounded
economy and the missing Chibok girls?”
The APC also urged President Goodluck
Jonathan to caution his aides against
overheating the polity with their incautious
statements, especially relating to the transition
of power.
The party said while “the PDP may be deeply
traumatised by its loss in the last general
elections – and the party itself has said it is
indeed suffering from post-election (defeat)
trauma – that should not be a reason for it to
disrupt the nation’s peace by displaying crab
mentality.”
The APC wondered if it is part of the transition
mode of the Jonathan administration that the
Minister of Power has virtually been reading the
riot act to the incoming government,
condescendingly warning it not to even
consider reversing the power sector
privatisation because its gains are ‘’very
obvious?’’.
“Do they understand the implication of their
gratuitous and unsolicited advice? If their
power sector reforms have been so successful,
would Nigeria’s power situation have hit
perhaps its lowest point in a long time as we
have it now?’’ It queried.
The APC said in as much as the Jonathan
administration is bent on provoking the
incoming administration, creating confusion
and even sabotaging the transition, the party
(APC) has decided not to fall for their antics in
the interest of peace.
The party reiterated its earlier advice to the PDP
to shake off the trauma of defeat and gear up
for the challenging task of being in opposition.
‘’They must however realise that being in
opposition is not a walk in the park, but like
running a marathon in the desert where there
are no oases or shades. The sooner they realize
that, the better for them,’’ the party added.

The Presidency on Thursday morning broke its
silence on the whereabouts of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience.
The Media Assistant to Mrs. Jonathan, Mr. Ayo
Adewuyi, in a statement made available to
journalists in Abuja said the President’s wife is
currently in Congo.
He said Mrs. Jonathan was in the country to join
her colleagues from Africa for the celebration
of the 30th anniversary of a non-governmental
organisation, Congo Assistance Foundation,
floated by the Congolese First Lady, Madam
Antoinette Sassou-Nguesso.
Adewuyi however did not indicate when Mrs.
Jonathan arrived Congo or when she is
expected back in Nigeria.
He only said his principal was received on
arrival by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Congo
Brazzaville, Princess Onipede, in company of
top Congolese officials.
The President’s wife has not been seen
attending any public event inside the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, since her husband lost
his re-election bid in the March 28 presidential
election.
She was conspicuously absent during the Good
Friday and Easter Sunday services held inside
the Aso Villa Chapel.
Mrs. Jonathan did not also join her husband for
the funeral service held in honour of his top
aide, Oronto Douglas, in Yenagoa last Saturday.
While she voted alongside her husband in the
presidential election in Otuoke, Bayelsa State,
she stayed back in her home state, Rivers,
during the April 11 governorship election.
She had expressed fears ahead of the elections
that she would be thrown into prison if
Muhammadu Buhari wins the election.
The Presidency had so far kept mute on her
whereabouts, therefore, giving room for
speculation.
Adewuyi’s statement read, “First Lady, Dame
Patience Faka Jonathan, is in Brazzaville,
Republic of Congo, joining other African First
Ladies for the celebration of the 30th
Anniversary of Congo Assistance Foundation,
an NGO of Congolese First Lady, Madam
Antoinette Sassou-Nguesso.
“The Foundation established in 1984 has
engendered social action in the areas of health,
education, skills acquisition in favour of
indigent people of Congo.
“Dame Patience Jonathan runs similar
organisation in Nigeria, the Aruera Reach-out
Foundation which also focuses on the uplift of
women and children, the needy and
imprisoned.
“The First Ladies of Benin Republic, Senegal,
Mali, Tchad, Niger, Guinea Conakry are also in
Brazzaville for the grand finale of the week-long
programmes, during which a National Centre
for Sickle Cell Disease was inaugurated.
“Dame Patience Jonathan was received on
arrival by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Congo
Brazzaville, Princess Onipede, in company of
top Congolese officials.”

what do you think they are talking about

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday
struck out a suit filed by the 19 All Progressives
Congress (APC) lawmakers, challenging the
removal of the Speaker of the State House of
Assembly, Adewale Omirin and his deputy,
Adesegun Orisalade. Justice Saliu Saidu, who
gave the ruling, awarded a cost of N100, 000
against Omirin and 18 other lawmakers.
The judge struck out the suit after listening to
the submission of the counsel to the APC
lawmakers, Mr Norrison Quackers, represented
by Mr Onyeka Ofoegbu. He had urged the court
to strike out the suit without cost. Counsel to
the defendants, Mr Kayode Olufala, urged the
court to dismiss the plaintiffs’ suit with a
substantial cost.
The PDP lawmakers, while urging the court to
dismiss plaintiffs’ suit, supported their
application with the provisions of Order 15 Rule
2 (1) of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure
Rules. Saidu said:“I have gone through the
notice of discountenance and objection filed by
the defendants, urging the court to dismiss the
plaintiffs’ suit.
“The defendants have taken steps in this case by
the processes they filed, saying this case ought
to be dismissed and not struck out. “The issue in
a situation like this where the defendants have
taken steps is left at the discretion of the court in
the case of Rear Admiral Ebi Borpeni Vs
Darabella Nigeria Ltd; 2014.
“However, this issue has been well discussed in
the case of Abayomi Babatunde Vs Pan Atlantic
Shipping and Transport Agency Ltd and others
where the court was urged not to close the door
of justice. “In the present democratic setting in
this country, I am cautioned to take the path of
striking out the case rather than dismissal.
“I hereby strike out this case with a cost of
N100,000 against the plaintiffs in favour of the
first to eight and twelve to fourteen
defendants.” The APC lawmakers had challenged
the removal of Omirin and his deputy. The suit
which was filed in December 2014, was seeking,
among others, an order restraining the factional
Speaker of the House, Dele Olugbemi, and his
deputy, Olayinka Abeni, from either parading
themselves as or executing duties in the capacity
of the leaders of the House.
But the lawmakers, through their counsel,
Quakers (SAN), had on April 9, filed a notice
dated April 7 to discontinue the case. Though
no reason was given in the notice of
discontinuance of the suit, the action followed
the argument by Fayose that Omirin and
Orisalade lacked the locus standi to commence
any impeachment proceedings against him since
they had been impeached and were currently
challenging their impeachment in court.
The defendants in the suit are Olugbemi, Samuel
Ajibola, Adeojo Alexander, Adeloye Adeyinka,
Isreal Olowo Ajiboye, Fatunbi Olajide, and
Olayinka Abeni. Gov. Ayodele Fayose, the
Department of State Security, (DSS), the
Inspector General of Police, Ekiti State
Commissioner of Police, Mr Owoseni Ajayi, Mr
Kayode Oso, and Chief Toyin Ojo (nine to
fourteen defendants respectively).
Omirin and his deputy, Orisalade, were
impeached by seven PDP lawmakers on Nov. 20,
2014, on the floor of the House.
