I fully concur with the writer because the arrest wud have been made easy if the EFCC had obtained a counter motion in court to set aside Yahaya Bello's Court injunction.
EFCC should there do the needful instead of cutting corners.

James Ibori: A Proverbial Cat With Nine Lives.

Written by Akaba Clement E.

"Until the Lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the Hunter" ...African Proverb.

Over the last three decades, men of various capacities have risen and exited the Nigerian political terrain; some are still alive while others are dead but very few have continued to remain influential and relevant till date since the beginning of the fourth republic in 1999 irrespective of the turbulent twists and turns they had to traverse. One of such men whom has continued to earn his place against all odds is the man - Chief James Ibori - who was governor of Delta State from 1999 till 2003. How he continues sustaining his influence within the Nigerian political circle even after his ordeals has been a source of marvel to keen observers most especially since the 2023 general election.

Who would have had the premonition that such a man that had gone through thirteen (13) years jail term in the U.K. as a result of political prosecution (for daring the powers that be) would later make a brilliant comeback to the political arena within a short while after his ordeal?

He was not the only ex-governor that had it rough and tough among his contemporaries. Late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa State; Ex-governor Jolly Nyame of Taraba State; Joshua Dariye of Plateau State and several others were men of similar clime as his. Some of his contemporaries who served as governors didn't went through any form of incarceration but somehow went into political oblivion.

A study of the life of Chief James Ibori brings to mind the biblical "man after god's own heart" who was crowned king of Israel at a young age and never ascended the throne till after many years of struggles, battles and building of mighty men. Like the biblical King David, James Ibori seems to be a man after god's own heart and as well a cat with nine lives owing to the way and manner he has managed to continue sustaining his influence/relevance after all his travails.

To make such an audacious comeback in the Nigerian political terrain requires extraordinary strategy and smartness that is somewhat out of this world.

Love him or hate him, like the proverbial cat with nine lives, he would always earn his place among the eminent.

It's been on subtly through cartoon in recent years. I first saw their antique in the cartoon movie titled Strange World. They are actually coming for our kids.

In my personal opinion, it reflects the choice of the majority to a large extent. This is because the will of the populace prevailed in the House of Assembly poll, House of Representatives poll the senate poll and the guber poll.

It wud be foolhardy to underrate Arsenal's performance this season. Nevertheless ManCity seem to be the most well-positioned for the EPL title run.

Only a Nitwit will blame Buhari for Tinubu's failure. From what we have seen, Buhari's administration is far better than this one that has no Blueprint. Tinubu is all Bullshit because he's only there to occupy space.

DESOPADEC Commissioner, Karo Goru Decries The Deplorable State Of Orowhe Public Primary School In Iwhrekan/Edjophe Town Of Ughelli South LGA.

***Promises To Ensure Full Rehabilitation Of Dilapidated Educational Facilities.

The DESOPADEC Commissioner representing Udu, Ughelli South, Uvwie and Urhobos of Warri South in the board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), Hon Jonathan O. Goru, during the evening hours of yesterday Wednesday 21/2/2024, paid an inspectorial visit to the Orowhe Public Primary School located in Iwhrekan/Edjophe Town in Ughelli South LGA.

This inspection was facilitated by the Executive Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Students Affair, Comr. Ezekiel Oghenetega Okoh PhD., in a bid to draw the attention of DESOPADEC and that of Delta State government authorities to the deplorable plight of the school in term of Dilapidated classroom blocks as well as classrooms without chairs and desks for pupils thereby resorting to pupils sitting on the bare floor.

During the inspection, Hon. Karo Goru learnt that the pupils actually sit on bare floor during classes due to lack of chairs and desks even when the school was fully rehabilitated 5years ago. Many of the classrooms were also found to be without roofs as a result of substandard materials used for the work.

The DESOPADEC Commissioner also used the opportunity in having a Town-Hall meeting at the Community Town Hall with the locals where he fervently admonished them to imbibe the culture of protecting/ maintaining public facilities within their Community.

According to him, "It is your duty as a Community to keep eyes on every public facility built for you by the government since it is the same you the local people that will suffer in the Incidence of dilapidation and damage. Community leaders and the local People should also endeavor to always report every Incidence of substandard public work because this administration of Rt. Hon. Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori won't tolerate any iota of substandard job."

I strongly believe Tinubu will do well. We can't continue having docile Ministers occupying everywhere.

Honestly that's not enough room to be broke financially after being the number 4 citizen with bogus allowances. It would have been good you tell us he lacks money management/ multiplier skills. That's the only reason a man of his caliber can become broke.

How Karo Goru Adopted Twin Brothers For Full-Scale Scholarship To University Level.

Written by: Akaba Clement Eriraivenre

"...While everyone searches for what they can take, a true King searches for what he can give"...King Mofasa (The Lion King).

Over the last five months of Hon. Jonathan Karo Goru's tenure as the DESOPADEC Commissioner representing Udu, Ughelli South, Uvwie and Urhobos of Warri South on the Board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), he has been doing everything humanly possible to ensure that the people of his mandate area, being his primary constituents, enjoyed the dividends of democracy viz: (1)The promotion of peace and harmony through peace parley among various Community leaders, (2) Appointment of 68 persons as DESOPADEC Liaison Officers, (3) Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship training, (4) Provision of Health Care support, (5) Educational support, (6) Clearing/Opening of Canals, (7) Activation of Road Construction Projects and ( Street Light Projects.

Our focus today centers on the touching story of how he voluntarily adopted to sponsor twin brothers on Scholarship through their Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary education.

It all began in August this year at an event organized by the Ataifo Family of Egini Town in Udu LGA to felicitate with the trio of Senator Emmanuel Aghwariavwodo; Chief Taleb Tebite and Hon. Jonathan O. Goru over their recent appointment by the current administration of the Delta State Governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.

The 10 year old Twin brothers happened to be members of the Udje-Udu Cultural Dance group of Ujevwu that entertained the Dignitaries at the event.

The highpoint of the occasion then, was the award of a full-scale scholarship to University level to Master Goddowell Ugborhikefe who was singled out by the Commissioner.

According to the Commissioner, he was captivated by the vigour and enthusiasm with which the youngster did the fascinating and enthralling dance.

It was at the point of effecting his pledge to the young dancer that the benevolent DESOPADEC Commissioner learnt that the beneficiary had a twin brother, Master Godspower Ugborhikefe, who happens to be a member of the same dance group.

He also discovered that these twin brothers lost their father, Late Mr. Alfred Ugborhikefe of Ujevwu Town in Udu LGA when they were barely 3 years old and that their struggling mother, Mrs. Loveth Ugborhikefe, whom they lived with at Ugbisi Town in Udu LGA has been finding it very difficult to financially see them and their older siblings through school.

In the process, it was also learnt that these 10 year old twin brothers were still in Primary Two(2) at Ugbisi Public Primary School due to the instability which has bedeviled their academic life for years.

The benevolent Hon. Goru, touched by their ordeal, extended the Scholarship award to cover both of them.

According to the benefactor, "It's an opportunity to directly empower and positively touch the lives of the younger generation and ease a burden. This is a personal project to me since it would be spanning a period of two decades."

The Twin brothers have been moved to a far more decent learning environment (private school) since the beginning of this Academic session with all expenses - School Fees, School bags, Textbooks, Note books, Shoes, etc fully paid.

Am really disappointed in PMB because the speech shows that he doesn't believe in Nigeria and he doesn't as well believe in his best.

Market that daily movements up or down is capped at 10% is volatile? Are you a learner?

There's no need arguing with you. Study the last 20years growth trends of the Stock market for yourself and you will understand what is volatility. Am talking from experience because I invested in 2008 after the market crashed.

The Nigerian Stock market is a very volatile investment channel. It favours only the super rich that are able to buy majority shares of a company. Before you invest in the stock market, I would advise you watch the movie titled "the wolf of wall street" and understand its intricacies.
