According to Allen,Okrika youths were yesterday attacked by youths from Eleme in Rivers state.He wrote...

'It's so saddened that despite the peaceful understanding by both communities in recent years some scrupulous element from Eleme will carry out such an act that is tantamount to breach of peace.

Innocent Okrika youths were ambushed and brutally attacked while on their daily routine of survival in the bush.

In a quick response to the attack,seven of the assailants where apprehend and were handed over to the Okrika divisional Police Headquarters without any touch or injury on them by brave Okrika youths.

We appeal to the Government,Chiefs and Elders of our loving Eleme neighbours to caution their youths from any further act that could breach the peace we both enjoy for the past 17 years as brothers and friends.

The Okrika man is a man of peace
A man of great love and friendship
For his neighbours and even his foes.

We do not need any communal war again with our neighbours that will make them desert their communities like ghost town. For we are all brothers and sisters.

By this notice we advice all Sons and Daughters of Wakirike-Bese to be security concious if applying Eleme Okrika Rd,Ogu Bolo and Wakama or rather should follow through the waterways.

#PEACE BETWEEN ELEME AND OKRIKA'

HOW WE ARE BATTLING RECESSION IN ILE-IFE - OONI OGUNWUSI

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has said that the ancient city of Ile-Ife has devised cultural tourism revolution as a veritable tool in battling recession reducing it's effects to a minimal lever on his people and Nigerians.

He said this during the celebration of this year's AJE festival(festival of wealth) in Ile-Ife on Monday attended by residents, guests and worshippers from different parts of the world who were seen praying for wealth and abundance.

Ooni said trade by barter remained one of the best trading systems in the world, regretting that Nigeria and other African countries began to have economic challenges when they relegated traditional trading methods.

To revive Nigeria and Africa economy, the Spiritual leader of Yoruba race advised that the nature should be upheld in addition to massive involvement in agriculture.

When asked if non-celebration of the festival contributed to the economic hardship in Nigeria, the Ooni said in affirmative that "It is because we are not paying obeisance to what we should paying it to. Before colonisation started, our forefathers did all these and they survived in abundance". 
He said, "We are paying obeisance  to the creation of God. Aje is something that everybody craves for. If we do what we are supposed to be doing, we will be a leading country in the world as it used to be at some point and things will turn around".

The well loved monarch added that "It is even turning around for us already in Ile-Ife. We don't have anything that we do than worship the Almighty God and paying high obeisance to nature as mysteries created by God in which nobody can do without, that is why everything is booming for us despite the recession. We are focusing on agriculture and youths empowerment too. This is one thing other race and nation can emulate."

The foremost African monarch concluded his speech with a brief history of AJE and Ejigbomekun MARKET explaining that "Aje(deity of wealth) is a mother and goddess created at the dawn of time sent to the earth alongside Olokun(goddess of oceans) just like God also sent the duo of Obatala as Olofin owuro kutukutu and Oranfe Onile ina(Osangangan).

While Aje and Olokun served and have since become the supernatural benefactors of earthly wealth for mankind, Obatala Olofin owuro  kutukutu and Oranfe(Sango) Osangangan were and still remain the custodians of morning and afternoon respectively who combined efforts to build EJIGBOMEKUN market(EJI in Yoruba means TWO) with cowries used as means of    exchange after trade by barter.

All race of the world spent cowries as the first currency in the world created by nature from beneath the sea. It was first spent and discovered at Ejigbomekun market in Ile-Ife under the administration of AJE". Ooni Ogunwusi explained.

Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Chief Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo who led hundreds of leaders of markets from across Nigeria to the event urged leaders in the country to use the opportunity of Aje festival to intensify efforts in ending recession in the country.

"Today is about our tradition, culture. Aje is a very important festival to boost our economy. I hope government will provide the enabling environment to keep this up. All countries have their tradition and ways of getting things resolved. Our leaders should work tirelessly to ensure that recession is not allowed to stay." Iyaloja General said.

Popular Musician, Wasiu Ayinde (Kwam 1), saluted the determination of the Ooni Ogunwusi for ensuring that culture of the yoruba race does not perish.

"I am here to celebrate Aje which symbolises wealth. I congratulate Ooni for being the custodian of tradition. It furthers shows the richness of yoruba culture and this should continue," he added.

Owa eredunmi of Ife, Oba Olaoluwa Omiwenu said by celebrating Aje always, the deity would make the economy flourish.

Obalara of Ile-Ife, Chief oluwagbemiga Adebayo, said the festival was used to appeal to God for the provision of wealth for Nigerians.

"When we discovered that everywhere is tight and poverty was much. We we talk to the Almighty Olodumare through Ifa Oracle and we were told to celebrate AJE . This has solution to economic recession. The shortage of fund won't make traders sell well and every gets to suffer". Obalara said.

Lowa Ate of Ife, High Chief Adebowale Olafare speaking on behalf of the Kingmakers described Ooni Ogunwusi as the messiah sent by God to free Yoruba from economic hardship through culture and tourism. He said the Ooni has undoubtedly within a year recorded colossal success in his revolution of culture and tourism.

"Baba is God sent, he is the messiah of our time,  he has come to liberate the black race the neglect of culture and tradition which is responsible for economic suffering. His passion to make life abundantly enjoyable for us in Ife Kingdom and Yorubaland is unrivaled". High Chief Lowa Ate stated.

As a key promoter of AJE festival, Chief Mrs Toyin Kolade, the Iyalaje of Apapa, in Lagos and very close ally of  Ooni Ogunwusi expressed satisfaction at the success of 2017 AJE festival which she said is a catalyst for the economic and commercial greater things to happen in Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole. The erudite international biz woman added that "To live long in good health, you need to pay for something.

The importance of Aje is beyond a mere celebration, it is a collection of all form of trading to build the economy of the nation. It is a uniting factor to wealth and an element that no one dislikes".  Toyin Kolade added.

AJE fondly called "Oguguluso Onisooboji" formed Oja Ejigbomekun as the first market in the world with the joint efforts of Oranfe Onile ina and Obatala owuro kutukutu.

OJA IFE(Ejigbomekun) became the birthplace for profit, wealth, business, trade, advancement and economic development. Eledumare(God) gave AJE, mother of 2 children ERE(profit) and ESU ERE(anxiety of profit) some cowries from Olokun's pot as the first currency to trade at the market.

The immigrants later to these cowries as symbol of AJE to invoke her spirit and establish her model of trade and commerce in various markets around the world.

The descendants of Oranfe Onile ina still till today gather at the spot of AJE's shop within Ejigbomekun market where she served as Iyaloja.

AJE is a deity associated with festivities like Olojo festival. Mankind still works for to earn a living and we toil lifetime for her in OJA IFE in Ile-Ife and globally as her spirit still answers the call of those who seek her sincerely.

Comrade Moses Olafare,
Director, Media and Public Affairs,
Ooni's Palace.

As part of Total Nigeria Plc’s commitment to support product transportation safety and efficiency by their transporters, the company has put in place a robust fleet acquisition scheme by renewing approximately 20% of its fleet of trucks in 2017. This was launched by the Management of the company, its Transporters, representatives of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and other stakeholders.

Total’s investment in the purchase of the new fleet of trucks is to ensure that transportation of petroleum products around the country is safer and more efficient. Another main objective of this truck acquisition scheme is to further ensure continuous improvement of its Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) standards. Due to the sensitive nature of the industry it operates in and its products market, for Total safety has to always come first.

The initial 70 trucks acquired will be directly managed by Total’s Transporters; the company is also offering them required technical assistance needed to run safe and efficient petroleum product transportation in the country. The scheme will be of immense benefit to the Transporters especially as the current economic environment makes it difficult for majority to invest in new trucks.

In his speech, the Managing Director, Jean Philippe-Torres, said the success of this scheme is dependent on Transporters’ complying with the maintenance program for the trucks and ensuring that trucks are periodically audited and vetted by the company’s authorised inspection company. He further said that truck drivers should be periodically trained and must comply 100% with all On-Board –Computer (OBC) rules.

The second phase of the scheme will be in April, 2017 where an additional 140 trucks will be injected into the fleet. This makes a total of 210 brand new trucks to impact on improved product distribution and supply as well as support Total’s zero tolerance to road accidents.

Total Nigeria Plc is committed to implementing road transportation safety improvement initiatives in order to make Nigerian roads safer for everyone. On a flip side this scheme would also help create additional job opportunities for Nigerians.

Popular Nollywood actor and Special Assistant to Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel on Social and Ethical Reorientation Ime 'Bishop' Umoh a.k.a Okon Lagos has been robbed.

The hilarious actor who is in Warri, Delta State for a performance was robbed on Monday. Valuable items like phones and cash were carted away by the armed bandits, who threatened to kill the actor.

In an Instagram post, his wife, Idara, said "So pathetic that the more we pray for a better Nigeria,the more things become so sour, few minutes ago, I saw a strange number calling and the voice I heard was my hubby's voice.

I was surprised to see him used a strange number to call, I quote him "Baby pray for me, I've just been robbed by Robbery men in Warri, and all my gadgets and money have been taken away from me, threatening to kill me also, I'm stranded and the event I'm supposed to attend here, I can't make it anymore, no contact to communicate with anyone for direction, except yours."

For the first time I'm feeling this way, how on earth can someone do this to another man, even to the one that God has given to this country and the world as a gift of antismile to clear away people's sadness.

I pray only to God to touch their minds, and as they have said, they will return the phones and other items taken, but only and if money will be paid to them without informing the police,which is not a problem.

I pray for my husband's safety and that of my family, may God continue to keep and preserve my household, also pray for the safety of all my husband's colleagues jnrpope walteranga mikegodson empressnjamah,funkymallam daniellaokeke mikeezu and all of them. Safety is yours okonlagos"

We pray for the actors safety and quick recovery of the lost items.
