Long live the Olu

The entire Itsekiri nation was agog on Saturday
[12-12-15]- with rich display of culture and
tradition as His Royal Majesty, Ogiame Ikenwoli I
was crowned the 20th Olu Of Warri.
The ceremony attracted serving and past top
government functionaries at Federal and State
levels, Governors of Delta and Edo states,
Members of the National and State Assembly, the
immediate past governor of Delta State,
Traditional rulers from within and outside the
state, the Diplomatic corps, past governors, All
Progressives Congress chieftain, Chief Bola
Tinubu, and Minister of State [Petroleum]. Mr. Ibe
Kachikwu as well as Itsekiri sons and daughters
in Nigeria and in diaspora.




Speaking at the occasion, President Mohammadu
Buhari and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa charged
traditional rulers to work assiduously to sustain
the existing peace and promote unity among
ethnic groups in the state so as to attract
investment and development.
President Buhari who was represented by the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Engineer Babachir Lawal, commended the
peaceful emergence of the new Itsekiri monarch
and urged people of the Itsekiri nation to remain
supportive of the policies and programmes of the
Federal Government.



Senator Okowa on his part reminded the
traditional rulers that “peace and security is a
critical factor for economic growth and
sustainable development, we hold the traditional
institutions in the state in high esteem, as
custodian of our culture and those closest to the
grassroots, we count on their counsel and
guidance for policy formulation and execution for
overall effectiveness” adding “synergy between
the traditional institutions and government is a
sine qua non for good governance and sustainable
development.”
He urged the new Olu of Warri who was crowned
by the the oldest man in the kingdom, and Olare-
aja of Jakpa, to consolidate on the peaceful co-
existence of the various ethnic groups in his
domain and make warri attractive again for
investors and companies asserting “ Our
administration is taking steps to woo back some
of the companies such as Shell that relocated
from Warri due to the atmosphere of insecurity
that prevailed in the past, our efforts in this
regards will not yield the desired dividends if there
is no guarantee of peace and public safety, hence
we must roll up our sleeves and do the work
necessary to sustain the peace that we now enjoy
in the state.”



Governor Okowa restated government’s
determination to tackle the problems of youth
restiveness, unemployment, and low agricultural
output through its STEP and YAGEP programmes.
In his remarks, the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Ikenwoli I
thanked all those who identified with the Itsekiri
nation on the coronation and promised peaceful
co-existence among different ethnic groups in the
area.



In a goodwill message at the occasion, the Ooni
of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi congratulated
the Warri monarch and promised to sustain the
cordial relationship between both kingdoms.
There was also goodwill messages from other
traditional rulers, from within and outside the
state.

He needs no introduction at all. Cyril Stober, an
ace newscaster on the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA) has been around for decades, pursuing his passion in his chosen career, broadcasting.

Before the advent of private stations in Nigeria,
listening to the NTA news at 9 everyday was
always a wonderful moment for many families in
Nigeria.

Watching Frank Olize, Hon. Abike Dabiri on NTA
Newslines and all the stories of what was
happening around the country was amazing.
Saturday mornings were also magical with the
likes of late Yinka Craig on Morning Ride.

Watching Sienne All Well Brown, Ruth Benemesia
Opia, John Momoh and the late Tokunbo Ajayi on
NTA news was so intriguing.

Everybody admired the authority and eloquence
with which they delivered the news. He's
anchored several editions of NTA news and other
programmes for years. Let's hear your wishes for
him. Congrats,
Congratulations Sir Cyril Stober!
