A well-known church in Lekki, Harvesters International, widely recognized for its vast membership and engaged community, finds itself engulfed in a scandal as allegations of harassment towards unsuspecting passersby surface.

The victim who is an entrepreneur by name Kemi Umoh was manhandled by the security guards of Harvesters Intl Church,  leaving wounds all over his body. He is currently receiving medical attention in a private hospital.

According to the victim, he had simply stopped by to seek shelter from the scorching sun when the security officers approached him. Despite his attempts to explain, they embarrassed and manhandled him.

Information reaching us is that several attempts to reach out to the church official page has proven abortive, they chose to ignore messages even though it was clear that they had read the content.

It is disheartening to see a church resorting to employing thugs as security personnel. One cannot help but wonder if this is their chosen approach to spreading the message of Christ and winning souls for Him.

We are using this platform to invite the church leadership and the head of their security team to explain the impactful evangelism carried out by their ambassador towards a struggling young man on the streets of Lagos.

We are reaching out to the general public, the Christian Association of Nigeria Lagos State chapter, and the entire Christian community.

We kindly request your assistance in contacting the church, the pastor, as well as the individuals involved in the altercation, to ensure that the victim who was injured during the missionary work receive the necessary medical attention.

The young man involved is currently going through a difficult time as the incident has sparked doubt in the young man's mind about the role of the church serving as a Hospital to the sick.

The Harvesters International Ministry has some explanation to make.

Time will tell.

Keen about the overall welfare of women and children in the society, Emebest Foundation has put smiles in various communities in Akwa Ibom State with donations of food items and provisions in the spirit of Easter.

A young Nigerian lady named Uche Chinonye Courage has graduated from the Abia State University, Nigeria after studying for 9 straight years switching courses.

Miss Chinonye graduated from the University’s College of Medicine after 9 years instead of the normal academic timeline of 6 years due to several challenges.

Chinonye took to her social media to celebrate her achievement, sharing the reason for the delay being challenges of dropping out to restart all over again.

She also mentioned that she faced physical and emotional challenges on her journey to becoming a graduate.


Congratulations dear and to every other person graduating from different institutions across Nigeria.

"#SUMMARY #OF MY #9YEARS JOURNEY IN ABSU.

My Academic journey started in 2015 at Abia State University Uturu..
I had passion for Medicine and Surgery , and applied for it but was admitted to study Optometry.
I had to apply for a change of course in order to fulfill my dreams not knowing it was going to be the beginning of my problems..
It was successful and I was happy but something happened in my 2nd year..

One fateful day, a memo was brought out during the accreditation process that all students that did change of course should return back to their initial department.
I almost collapsed on seeing that memo..
This affected over 50 students then😭..
We pleaded but to no avail.

The trauma and shock was too much to bear and most times landed me in the hospital in several occasions..
I had no option than to go back to Optometry to plead for acceptance which followed a condition that we must repeat 200 level .
I faced so much rejection and lost contact with friends because everyone was just looking at me like a failure without understanding the reason behind my predicament..

People say name has an impact and speaks for them that was exactly my case.
While studying and repeating class in Optometry, I picked JAMB form and wrote Post UTME but my Post UTME result got missing that year.

My aunt encouraged me again to pick another JAMB form in 2018 which I did prayerfully and this time God directed me to apply for Nursing.
I had to call on God this particular year with a broken heart Omega Power Ministry (O.P.M)
When the results were out I scored 256 in JAMB and 76 in Post UTME.
Remember all these processes were going on while studying Optometry..

I was admitted on merit to study Nursing in October 2018.
I started my Nursing Journey officially and God was with me all through that journey..

Fast forward to 2022,I wrote my Nursing council exams in November and passed at one sitting and became a Registered nurse (RN) in 2022 of which I shared the story on this platform.

Let’s complete the story now ..
In 2023 ,I wrote another Council exam and I passed at one sitting and became a Registered Public Health Nurse.
I also wrote other certificate exams of which I was successful in all.

In 2024 ,March precisely I sat for my Midwifery Council exam and became a Registered Midwife.

I concluded my degree exams for the Bachealor of Nursing Science (BNSc) on 21st March 2024..
God was on my side all through my journey in Nursing Science from 100 level to 500 level.
This is exactly 9years in Absu and I can attest to you that the Lord was on my side despite all the challenges..

In life with courage and determination you can achieve your dreams..
There were days I broke down in tears out of academic pressure but I still braced up and fought hard till today and I can only smile and look back to the days I cried ..
Indeed the lord is my Ebenezer(helper).
Courage is a global name.

I want to thank my mum and dad specially for all the sacrifices and prayers.
I also want to thank my aunt (Chidinma Nnanta). She gave me money for my Jamb form and pulled me out from Optometry.
I also want to thank my Elder brother(Uchenna) and immediate elder brother for all the financial support ..
You are the best brothers I could have asked for..
To my lovely husband Venn John
God bless you so much..
You came into my life at the very point I needed a comforter..
The prayers and the financial support was so overwhelming..
Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to be the best..

To my spiritual father in Anchodif( Ven Ugochukwu
Thank you very much daddy.
To all my spiritual fathers all over the world thank you for your prayers..
God bless my Opm family ,SPI ,Anglican family and many others who contributed to my success..

To my Lecturers in Nursing department Absu.
Thank you so much for impacting knowledge and discipline in me..


Let me officially reintroduce myself to you..

it's sad.

SoNature:
If it's a responsible company, they will investigate the allegations. If true, the superintendent will be fired and replaced with a local who will continue from where he stopped, selling to the highest bidders.

This is a norm in most IOCs in the Delta. By design, Nigerians are devil's incarnates! We made this country the eyesore it is today.

Edo Community in Esit Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, on Monday, blocked an oil firm, Savannah Energy Limited, operating in their area with the claims that the oil firm through its Superintendent is selling job slot to non-members of the communities, against what is contain in the MOU.

The superintendent of the oil firm who goes by the name Mr Chukwudosiem Umunna, was accused by the community youths for selling off Job slots to foreigners while the community suffers the brunt from the oil drilling going on in the community.

Part of his offence includes;
Refusing to employ youths from the host community;

Refusing to increase staff salaries;

Refusing to employ graduates from the host community trained by the company during graduate internship programs, but will retain outsiders in same level.

The protesters, who were mostly youths, placed a traditional injunction, demanding the stoppage of the operation of the company until their demands were met.

In their placards, the protesters expressed anger over the alleged nonchalant attitudes of the management of the company, which they alleged have continued to pay deaf ears to their demands.

The youths demanded that;
Savannah energy Ltd should treat host community workers as they treat other workers from outside the community;

Respect local content law by giving our youths contracts meant for the community;

Increase salary of community staffs working with them to match other staff in the same level/qualifications;

Job meant for indigenous contractors should be given same, not bringing contractors outside when we have the manpower to do it;


Retaining community graduates trained by company, same way they retain those outsiders.


the placards carry different description to display the youths frustration with the Company while embarking on the peaceful protest.

The State House member for Esit Eket/Ibeno state Constituency, Hon. Friday Udobia, who spoke with the youths showed solidarity and solicited for patience while he seeks counsel with the company to resolve their demands.

Governor Umo Eno welcomes defected YPP members back to party, dolls out N20M to group, PDP members cry foul

On the 4th day of March 2024, former members of Young Progressive Party (YPP) in Akwa Ibom defected back into People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and were welcome by the Chief Executive himself, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno.
According to the information reaching our desk, the returnees who used their media tools to campaign against the Governor in the last Governorship Election in the State, which the PDP candidate emerge as winner, were left in a state of Confusion after their Governorship Candidate, Sen. Bassey Albert defected to the National ruling Party, All Progressive Congress (APC).

In order not to be left stranded, in what now seem as a swift strategy, the YPP decampees tendered apologies one after the other to the now State Chief Executive and few days after, were seen being welcomed back by the Governor himself and awarded N20 million Naira for the smart move.

In one of the apologies paste below; one online publisher of Ibom Plaza News could be seen broadcasting his apology to the Governor through different media channels, a move that was followed by others;

But chaos broke out few hours after the news spread that the Governor has rewarded their smart move with N20M in what the PDP faithfuls term; When Politics Reward Enemies and neglect supporters, one of the PDP loyalist decry why the Governor and party, after neglecting its media team that fought tooth and nail to defend his candidature, are now being neglected, while rewarding enemies of the party.
In his submission and I quote;

“WHEN POLITICS REWARD ENEMIES AND NEGLECT SUPPORTERS

I am a political scientist, trained public administrator and a politician by extension due to my professional engagements. One evil I have come to see in politics is that of winners in an election easily embracing opponents than true supporters.

Who am I seeing in this photo here? Samuel Bassey, aka, Ibom plaza news shaking hands with Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno?

Dis life no balance at all. Why does politics play a fast one on us like this? We suffered, through thick and thin to support the Umo Eno project. These guys did everything to bring us down. They threw pellets and all manner of dirt at us. We won. They lost. Now see him smiling at the gold we went through fire to refine.

Daaa, we were also enticed to leave PDP and support other candidates. But we stood through to our conscience, rolled up our sleeves, jumped into the trenches, swam in the murky waters and emerged with the trophy. We know too much about Pastor Umo Eno's victory; we have it our all, sacrificed so much, got bloody nose and scars. Some of us almost got our academic journey truncated half way.

We were everywhere on social media, radio and television houses and even newspapers selling our candidate. We did not defect. We stood still like the Cedars of Lebanon.

Bassey and his YPP gang laid siege for us, set all manner of traps, chased us out of town. We ran away; we hid our families, reduced our public presence just to stay a life.
Boooooooooommmmmmm, the same Ibom Plaza is saying he is changed now. If the story had been that his candidate won, would we be here saying welcome home to him?

To even think that ID Umana was among the 47 persons that were shipped to the Governor's Lodge is causing me high fever. What did he not to hit back at me? He was my good friend until politics separated us. ID pursued me out of the street, he pursued me out of radio stations. ID dealt with me seriously on account of Senator Aniekan Bassey then Speaker and Governor Umo Eno.

These guys told the whole world blatant lies that Umo Eno had no certificate, was an albino, was owing his workers, was deducting tithes from their salaries, failed to construct a road contract he was awarded and how he was a Cousin to Udom Emmanuel. They said he did not graduate from University of Uyo. Now this.

Governor Umo Eno is a good man. But His Excellency should remember his foot soldiers first before extending the handshake to those who fought tooth and nail to paint him black, destroy him, take the seat away from him. He should know that a leopard does not change its spot.

Like Novela Victor Akpan said

They will go into various beer parlors boasting now that their value is more than the true loyalist. I can't fake feelings. Ninety percent of most PDP loyalists and supporters are not happy with Ibom Plaza return and his team. We must learn to understand we have been enticed to join another party, but we rejected it based on the love we have for our leaders and party.

Enough of celebrating people that threw blows at us while we were defending the Governor everywhere and labeling us 2k media boys.

Adiok tutu”

Stay tune as we bring you more details as the drama unfolds.

Akwa Ibom: How Ibeno man in govt fraudulently annexed Ibibio coastal villages in 1978

A Response to the false claim that Ex Gov. Udom Emmanuel made a map to extend Esit Eket, Eket, ONNA, Mkpat Enin and Ikot Abasi LGAs to the ocean in 2023_

===============================
By Manfred Ekpe, Esq. LLB Hons)
=====================≠=========

Histories are not told half way as the Ibeno people do. They fraudulently place the history of Ibibio LGAs extending to the Atlantic Ocean in 2023 when Ex Gov Udom Emmanuel signed signed into law the Map of Akwa Ibom State. Ibeno, who are recent refugee settlers in Ibibioland want to twist history to present the narrative that the reason behind the State Map is because of the Petroleum Industry Act signed into law by fmr President Buhari in 2021.

THE TRUTH:

1. The fraudulent annexation by Ibeno of the Ibibio coastal villages of what is now Esit Eket, Eket, Onna, Mkpat Enin and Ikot Abasi LGAs started in 1978 when an Ibeno man, Barr. Akpanika Mkpat Ukot was the Attorney General of the then Cross River State under the non-indigenous Military Governor Lt. Col Paul Omu who did not know the history of landownership. Barr. Ukot in that law— CRS Traditional Rulers Law 1978, annexed 12 Eket coastal villages and about 6 onna villages into Ibeno.

2. Eket, Onna and other Ibibio poeple protested. This protests led to war between Eket and Ibeno in 1982. Govt set up a panel of Inquiry to look into the matter. The panel report recommeneded the repeal of the 1978 fraudulent law and return of Ibibio coastal villages to the rightful owners. Hence in 1983, CRS Law No. 9 was enacted returning those villages to Ibibio people of then Eket and Ikot Abasi LGAs. It must be recalled that it was just in 1991 that ONNA and Esit Eket were created out of Eket while Mkpat Enin was created out of Ikot Abasi same year.

3. Akwa Ibom State was created out of Cross River State in 1987 and Barr. Ukot was transferred to the akwa Ibom State civil service as senior staff in the ministry of justice. He again drafted the Akwa Ibom State Traditional Rulers Edict 1990 which again fraudulently annexed Ibibio oil rich coastal villages to Ibeno.

4. Because of that fraud, war broke out between Eket/ONNA against Ibeno in 1992/93.

5. Ibeno was nearly annihilated. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida the then military president set up a panel of Inquiry to look into the matter. This panel of inquiry is often called Justice Ephraim Akpata Commission of Inquiry.

6. The Akpata Commission of Inquiry in its report declared that Ibeno started the war because they wanted to claim Ibibio oil rich coastal lands. The report also recommended that the Akwa Ibom State Govt should repeal the fraudulent traditional rulers edict of 1990 and return Ibibio coastal villages to Ibibio people. Trust the Nigerian govt, nothing was done.

7. It was in 2021 that the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly enforced the Akpata Report by repealing the 1990 Edict. It then became necessary to enact a map for the state to reflect true landownership. This was done after full consultations throughout the state in a public hearing where Ibeno delivered a position paper in March 2023.

8. Ladies and Gentlemen, how then can the history of the Akwa Ibom coastal landownership be said to have started in 2023 when Gov. Udom Emmanuel signed the map into law?

CONCLUSION:
For over 100 years the Europeans who were neutral had recorded that they witnessed when Ibeno came to Ibibioland as refugees from Andoni and that coastal Ibibio people gave them land to settle for which they paid rent. How then can tenants claim to be landlords today?

yea. it's a management challenge. the company has responded.

pharmagba:

I don't think it has to do with cost of running business, I think it has more to do with management.
Syringe is an item used daily in millions so the demand is there.
This has got to be investigated

well, the cost of running business in Nigeria right now is not funny either.

SWATMan:
Nigerians and poor management skills. This inability to manage govt agencies led to privatisation during OBJ's dispensation. We thought it was a national malaise never knew it was peculiar to all.

Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing (JSM) company in Awa, Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State has ended its operations attributing the decision to "unforeseen circumstances affecting our business operations."

The company which was reputed to be the largest syringe manufacturing venture in Africa was inaugurated in 2017 by former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

Though it had since stopped production many months ago, it finally announced the end of operations on December 31, 2023 saying it had "to implement temporary measures to ensure the long term sustainability of the company."

In a memo addressed to all the workers , a copy of which was made available to the Press, it stated that all positions including "yours have been placed on temporary redundancy effective January 1, 2024."

The statement titled “Temporary Redundancy - Service Not Needed Till Further Notice,’’ and addressed to all workers read in part, “We trust this message finds you in good health. It is with a heavy heart that we write to you today to communicate a challenging decision that Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing company limited has had to make due to unforeseen circumstances affecting our business operations.

“After careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of our current business situation, we regret to inform you that we must implement temporary measures to ensure the long term sustainability of the company.

“Unfortunately, this includes placing all positions including yours on temporary redundancy effective January 1, 2024.

“We want to emphasise that this decision is not a reflection of your individual performance or dedication to the company. The challenging business environment we find ourselves in has compelled us to take these difficult steps.

“Please return all company belongings in your custody.

“Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these challenging times.”

In an interview with the Managing Director, Akin Oyediran in April last year, he had said the company had secured a credit facility of $1 million adding that it was due to the enabling environment the state government has been able to provide for the growth of the manufacturing sector.

Not only have we come into this environment, we are also growing, we are doing other products. The company would in addition to syringes, manufacture gloves, masks and infusion sets.

Our investors are investing one million dollars in the company because of the level playing field and the advantages provided by the state government.’’

There was pandemonium in Eket Int'l Stadium as fans of Eket football team who happend to be the home team led an unprovoked attack on the referee who was officiating the match between Eket and Ibeno football teams.

Eket and Ibeno LGA are neighboring Local Governments who have been submerge in issues of land dispute for years, so it was okay for tensions to fly in a match involving these two rivals in the ongoing Akwa Ibom Governors' Cup 2023.

Tension started when the center referee allowed a goal which the Eket team protested not to be a goal, and that led to the fracas and abrupt calling off of the match which stood at 1-0 as at when fight broke out and report has it that the referee is currently being hospitalized due to the injuries sustained in the attack.

See videos below as we bring you more details in subsequent post;

••• Gives out 3 Million Naira to Beneficiaries

The member representing Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara Federal Constituency, Hon. Dr. Patrick Umoh, KSJI, in a remarkable display of unwavering commitment to education made an impactful stride on Friday, September 22, 2023. On this momentous occasion to mark his 100th day in office, Hon. Umoh embarked on a mission to empower and uplift the youth of his Constituency.

A total of 150 undergraduate students from his Constituency became the recipients of this noble endeavour, as they each received a bursary of 20,000 Naira. The cumulative disbursement amounted to a substantial 3 million Naira, a testament to the depth of Hon. Umoh's dedication to the academic success of his constituents.

During his address, Hon. Umoh's benevolence extended beyond financial support. He imparted invaluable wisdom to the students, stressing the paramount significance of diligence, commitment, and the unceasing pursuit of excellence in their educational journey. He cautioned against the perils of deviant behaviours, notably cultism, emphasising that true academic achievement is built on a foundation of responsibility and societal contribution.

This act was designed to encourage the students to immerse themselves in reading and expand their intellectual horizons, with a specific focus on topics related to law, climate change and the ever-evolving global landscape.

Envoy Nsentip Akpabio, the esteemed chairman of the Bursary/Grant Committee, expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the committee.
