Dear Mrs Eno Ekong,

Retirement is an exciting phase of life, after you have worked hard to build your career, and would now sit back and appreciate how far you have come.

Not only is it a time for reflection, but also a time for you to look forward to spending good time with people you care about, and doing things you love to do.

I was most pleased to have worked with you at Akwa Ibom State NYSC camp, during the 2017 Batch 'B' Orientation Course as a Guiness Brand Ambassador, when Guiness Nigeria sponsored some of the camp activities; and since then, I've been learning so much from your online English lessons on WhatsApp and Facebook. I'm no longer afraid to commit grammatical errors because I know you will never be tired of correcting me.

I hope that your retirement opens new avenues for an enthusiastic, lively, loving, strong, committed and disciplined person like you.

You are only retired, Ma, but I know you are not tired. As such, retirement is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a beautiful new voyage for you. God saw you through that whole phase and is still there for you.

Hearty congratulations, Mummy! When I retire, I would love to be just like you: happy, strong, promising and amazing!

Mr Edet Edem Akpan
Guiness Brand Ambassador.

EULOGY TO ATTAH IGALA�

I feel the immense pain that the unfortunate death of the Late Idakwo Michael Ameh Oboni has caused his wife, children, grandchildren and the entire Kingdom of Igala in particular and Kogi State in general, who must be grieving at the demise of the Attah.

Attah was, undoubtedly, a very eminent citizen and his death will be felt not only by his people but indeed, the entire nation. We can, nevertheless, be consoled from knowing that Attah Michael has gone to rest in the bosom of his Maker and left behind him a good name and worthy legacy.

As a Corps Member serving in idah I have been inspired, over the months, by Attah's most impressive career as a tested manager of men and resources, a proprietor of repute, and an industrialist of distinction.
His attainments, over the years, surely culminated in his coronation as the Attah Igala since Wednesday March 6th, 2013.

He was the first Attah in history to stay with one wife. In his words, “I have chosen to stay with one wife because one wife is even too many. I am the first Attah in history to stay with one wife and I am comfortable with that,” quoted from PUNCH August 26, 2017 edition.

The late Attah was a patriotic and highly respected traditional ruler who had immeasurable love for his people and great faith in a united Kogi State. I remember his firmness in support of Governor Yahaya Bello administration, His staunch support would always be remembered. He, accordingly, stood out as a voice of honesty and forthrightness in Traditional Affairs. He was at the same time a fervent promoter of mutual tolerance and understanding not only among the diverse people who lived in his kingdom but also across Kogi State.

The late Attah followed the tradition of his great predecessors. He was a great traditional leader, urbane and respected by his subjects. His influence transcended the Kingdom of Igala and, indeed, Kogi State. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with traditional rulers across Nigeria and beyond the shore of Nigeria and was very well respected among his counterparts from the West, East, North and South. He was a unifying force not just in Igala but in the whole of the North Central zone and beyond.

Attah Michael Ameh journey to meet his ancestors means an irreplaceable loss to his family, his people, Kogi State and, indeed, Nigeria.
Attah may no longer be with us but his legacy endures. He had a vision for his Kingdom and pursued it with every resource available to him. We must not let that vision for the greatness of Igala Land depart with him. He was very concerned about the security and welfare of Corps members in Idah Local Government Area and others.

As we bid farewell to this great Nigerian, let us rededicate ourselves to the values he cherished and lived by such as love of the country and community as well as the readiness to help the less fortunate at all times.

I extend heartfelt condolences on the final transition of Idakwo Michael Ameh Oboni and pray that the Almighty God grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
May the soul of the dear monarch rest in perfect peace.

Onuku-Ojo Elite Edet Edem Akpan.

To God be the glory, I have been able to secure two new benches, flex banner and chain with padlock for our CDS group.

To our new president thank you for presenting the award to me please do well to address us soon, we are here to back you up and put you through. Thank you!

The following are the nine local government areas that made up igala kingdom there are: Idah, Ibaji, Ankpa, Igalamela/Odulo, Bassa, Ofu, Dekina, Omala and Olamaboro.The capital of the kingdom is Idah local government area in Kogi state.

An Inaugural Address By Corps Member Akpan, Edet Edem (Elite) The President Of Culture, Leisure And Tourism Education Community Development Service Group Idah, Kogi State. This Day June 12th, 2020.

Protocol.

I am excited to present this address as the President of Culture, Leisure And Tourism Education CDS Group 2019 Batch C Stream One Idah, Kogi State. First let me express my gratitude to the Almighty God for making this day a reality.

I sincerely appreciate Mr. Segun Emmanuel Amure (Ex Corps Member and President) for making this easy by appointing me as the Public Relations officer in the administration of Mr. James Oreye (Ex Corps Member and immediate past President) Mr. Segun and Mr. James CTE CDS Group will always be proud of both of you. In the same spirit, I also appreciate my Vice President Blessing Nkereuwem (Corps Member) for accepting to give me full support and to be a team player in my administration.

It is worthy of note that this appointment were made in my absence due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, my VP was the first person to inform me that I am the new President before my predecessor called me on the phone on 1st of June, 2020 at 7:24PM to hand over to me.

Today is strategic in the history of our CDS Group as it marks the official beginning of a walk to improve our heritage. Having recognized our CDS Group as one to preserve our old tradition and improving our heritage, we will wheel towards the achievement of the following: Idah Corpers Cultural Day, Idah Corpers Street Walk Out, Visit To The Attah Of Igala Land, CTE Signboard, CTE HangOut, CTE Inter-school Debate and Public Sensitisation.

In the first fifteen months or thereabouts, our CDS group under the leadership of the Past Presidents has made giant strides in bringing Culture, Leisure and Tourism Education back together thereby creating a sense of belonging.

My administration is ready to work with the Zonal Inspector, Local Government Inspector, Corps Liaison Officer and other CDS Groups to actualize the development of our host communities. We are assured that henceforth, we will take CTE CDS Group to an enviable height.

I do not intend to bore you with a long address but instead to plead with you to support me to deliver on the pledges I made. Thank You and God Bless.

I Came

Of a million semen I was the only semen that swim faster to fertilised the egg, hence my formation, I won even when I didn't have brain, eyes, hands and legs. From a foetus to a baby at exactly nine months I came into this world, according to my birth certificate duly signed by my dad and mom it was today September 29th in the early 90's

I Saw

Having been socialised by my family as the first agent of socialisation, I sojourn this world without breaking the norms, values and custom. I have seen the four walls of primary and secondary schools, in the quest for more wisdom and knowledge I have also seen the four walls of tertiary education.
As an hardworking and resourceful person I have seen the bureaucracy and I am a bureaucrat.
I have seen love, feel love and beloved, I have seen the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.

I Conquer

Yes I conquer all because I am alive to celebrate this great day, the day of my birth, I'm not better than those who were born the same time, day and year with me but they have pass away, it is the love and mercy of God that has keep me going.
I conquer, I conquer and I will keep conquering because this is my season a time to shine again and again and again.
