A non-governmental organisation, Ugwumba Leadership Center, has offered a scholarship to Miss Divine Asuzu; a victim of human trafficking who was recently deported from Ghana.

Asuzu, was one of 10 teenage girls aged between 15 and 16 who were recently rescued by Nigerian and Ghanaian authorities from sex traffickers in Ghana.

Reports indicate that the minors were trafficked to Ghana by a syndicate for lucrative but illegal commercial sex work.

The girls were reportedly lured to Ghana with promises of a better life but were instead beaten, threatened and forced into prostitution.

Three of the victims are children of the same parents. A Nigerian man is in custody on charges for involvement in the crime.

The President Ugwumba Leadership Center for Africa, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu , announced the scholarship offer in Abuja, on Saturday.

He said, “With respect to the teenage girls repatriated from Ghana, Let me sincerely commend the Governor of Imo State His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodimma for swiftly seeing to the rescue of the underage trafficked girls back home, and at the same time appreciate those in Diaspora who identified and raised alarm that led to their rescue.

“This is not the time to pass judgement on those young girls who may have already passed through emotional and psychological trauma.

“Let’s embrace them with love and help them regain their place of honor and value in the society.

“On our side, the Ugwumba Leadership Center after discussing with the parents of Miss Divine Asuzu; one of the rescued girls who hails from Amaokpara community in Nkwerre LGA, Imo State, who indicated her interest to continue with her education.

“As an organisation that promotes youth development in Africa, we hereby award her a full scholarship to study in any of the Government Universities in Nigeria.

“Meanwhile, before her admission, we have also approved to place her on a monthly upkeep allowance.

“Special thanks to the Board and Management of the Ugwumba Leadership Center for making this possible.”

SE people are doing themselves

But since they don't want correction everyone is just looking at them

kayfra:
SE votes will be cannibalized from PDP and SS votes to a lesser extent. Tinubu runs his margins in NW and SW. Atiku has the edge in NE and they split NC.

Best case, quick victory for Tinubu. Worst case runoff and then all bets are off.

Selecting a NE VP candidate will help Tinubu.

Ibadanpikin:
Obasanjo became a president,because of major votes from se/ss but now this two regions of abondone the sw to their fate.The sw and yoruba now depend heavily on north and the northerners will not leave their brothers atiku and kwankwaso and vote an half bake muslim man who the see as a fake muslim.

This Simon idiots really is working to poll igbos apart......well meaning Biafrans should rise up against this man with full force

Now it make sense... anytime you confront those monikers. You will be banned for the most frivolous excuses, while all the mentioned monikers continue with their Propaganda.

Hmmm..

Just watch how this thread will be closed, after they report it to their favourite ambassador that is a moderator on this platform.

Dear Uchechukwu

Thank you for your feedback. As long as you and your ilk do not know how to relate with your fellow Nigerians without insulting them is as long as you and those you represent will keep being the grass that "Hausa goat" eat to remain strong enough to maintain their hold on political and military power in Nigeria with their Southern allies.

Thanks again, Uchechukwu. And to avoid a second civil war, my prayers is that may unnecessarily rude people NEVER EVER ascend to power in Nigeria, until they can overhaul their culture of insults. In Yeshua's Name I pray!

The National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Alex Chiedozie Ogbonnia has raised the alarm that people who claim to be working for Simon Ekpa have been threatening to kill him.

In a statement, Ogbonnia said: “Since four days ago, my phone has been inundated with phone calls by unknown persons alleging that I want to kill Mr. Simon Ekpa; and that they will kill me first, before I kill their leader, Mr. Ekpa.
“Of course, that I can or will kill Ekpa is the most ridiculous, malicious, mischievous and satanic of all the statements in this world.
“It is a common knowledge that I don’t have the capacity to kill. I am neither trained as a soldier nor as a police officer or in any paramilitary organization with a duty to respond to threats to life and property. At my age, I cannot even kill a fly, talk more of a global Leviathan in the person of Mr. Simon Ekpa.

“In my duty as the spokesman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I cannot shirk in my duty to stand by the core Igbo interests and Ohanaeze position on any national issue.

“Undoubtedly, I expressed the view that the Igbo have become uncomfortable with the sit-at-home syndrome in the South East of Nigeria; and that the persistent sit at home has caused the Igbo more harm than good.

“I also absolved the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on the lingering sit at home in the South East, indicating that Ohanaeze is a persuasive and not a coercive organization, thus does not have the capacity to stop the sit at home. I added that if the federal government feels that the security of Nigeria is being threatened by anybody or a group, it is the duty of the government and not Ohanaeze to take the necessary action.

“I emphasized that Ohanaeze Ndigbo has appealed to our son, Mr. Ekpa to come home for a dialogue and that we will continue to appeal for peace in the South East. This is the Ohanaeze position and indeed that of the Igbo leaders.

“Let it be known that in spite of the threat to my life and indeed every other patriotic Igbo leader, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by Chief Engr. Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu, will continue to remind the Igbo youths that it is a contradiction to face the barrel of the gun inwards.

“The primary duty of a freedom fighter is to defend and protect his people, and not the contrary. It is inconceivable how the destruction of Igbo economy through the intermittent sit at home syndrome will resonate with the central philosophy and aspirations of the Igbo in the present Nigeria.

Agberos that prevented their own siblings from voting because they look like igbos are labeling other people Toxic.

Agberos thinks that previous presidential election is determined by subsequent governorship elections. Dey play.

After witnessing the organized, supervised and well coordinated attack of non supporters of APC party in Lagos,I call on all suppressed, disenfranchised, assaulted people to REFUSE being counted in the upcoming national census in Lagos

It is very obvious to the ruling APC in Lagos that you all are insignificant, your presence and contribution a threat to them the reason you were treated the in the last election

Since you are irrelevant to the development of Lagos I urge you all not to participate in the forth coming election, let the APC and their area boys go participate in the census

Your population should never be use only for their gains
