The father OB LULU BRIGGS is a benevolent one whereas DUMO is an Absalom and not an Angel as you claim. What happen to his father's foundation?

"My prayer everyday is for this Angel to have the opportunity to be our shepherd; I am confident that the flock will be safe and well in his hands."

In 2014, I led a student group to Chief Dumo's guber campaign office. In the course of the campaign, I got to know what kind of person he is. Truly, he is such a benevolent soul just like his father (may God bless his soul).

After the primaries, everyone went their separate ways but I never failed to virtually keep in touch by occasionally sending text. I created a whatsapp forum with him as participant. One day, I got a message from him in the forum asking me to nominate two of my friends who in my assessment were indigent and may find it difficult to pay their school fees.

He told me to be honest as he was also going to pay my fees, so I shouldn't try to be dishonest. I later got to know that the largess was replicated in the 23 LGAs of Rivers State. This was after the 2015 governorship elections. My friends and I got credit alert of good sums of cash each for our fees. I sought him just so I could say thank you, but he declined as he was not interested in where I come from or anything.

I graduated that year and was due for national service but couldn't pay my clearance fees. I had no one else to call so I decided to send him a text. His reply was "send an account". I did and my account was handsomely credited after about 20 minutes.

One day, I was going to Abuja from Port Harcourt for an interview, and the vehicle I entered got involved in an accident. I was affected and hospitalized. Again there was no one to call so I sent him a text. His response was " send an account". And he helped me out.

During the covid-19 lockdown, with everywhere very tough, I had nothing to feed as the school where I work as a teacher had stopped payment. I decided to try my luck again with Dumo by sending him text, again his response was " send an account". He delivered me.

It is important to mention here that in all these interventions, the Chief never bothered to know the person he was rendering help to. Simply put, he did not know me and in fact even if I stood in front of him, he can't really identify me unless maybe Baba T who has met me.

Now tell me, who else can be this benevolent, if not an Angel? May God continue to bless Dumo Lulu-Briggs. I pray that we all discover the gold that is deposited in this man and collectively explore him for the good of our dear Rivers State.

Yes! Rivers resources should benefit Riverians. Resource control is what we need.

Oyigbo has more oil than all ikwerri land combined ..not to talk about egebama ...and this are all igbos in Rivers State

Tell me where ikwerre land touches the Atlantic ocean and get 50k ....abia is closer to the ocean than ikwerri

so all these attachment is because of oil. This shows your selfish nature, the reason why no one trust you guys and your attachee by force.

Akalaka was no slave to anyone, rather in his sojourn, he married women from another tribe. So my Rivers sister, you are in a better position to tell the truth about the Ikwerre-Igbo dichotomy rather than the above claim.

Amarabae:
Oriaku Amara wishes you all a happy new month.
I want to inform everyone here about the truthful origin and genesis of the Ikwerre identity crisis,
It didn't start because of the war, No rather it started from slave trade .
Ikwerre elders know this truth,
during the Aro Confederacy between the Arochukwus,Okrikas, and Ibibios , it was built on Slave trade and other products export,
it was a successful partnership that saw a lot of products coming in and going out through okrika waterways, no wonder Igbos call imported reused cloths "Okrika" to point to where it was imported through back in those days,
so the Aros captured a lot of innocent people
in the Ibo hinterlands and sold them through Okrika waterways , when the British banished slave trade ,they sent a task force to go and arrest those slave traders and free the slaves in cage waiting to be sold,
they came and arrested some Aro chiefs including some okrika chiefs who engaged in that evil trade and free those slaves in slavecamps waiting to be sold, since they can't remember where they came from ,they settled in etche forests and some okrika territories, those people are the IKWERRES,
they were later populated by etche, Ngwa, ngor okpuala migrants,
That is the origin why they started hating people from the Igbo hinterland where Aros came from for trying to sell them,
now when the British established port Harcourt for exportation of Enugu coal through rail , the Igbos from hinterlands populated the town which is 80% on Ikwerre land, the hinterland migrants were prospering and having Influence, the ikwerres hated it especially because or these descendants of people who sold some of their people to slave trade , the only way to revenge and take hold of port Harcourt is to deny being Igbo and hate anybody from the hinterland, the civil war gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it,
If you read Elechi Amadi works, he once cited that he has no problem with all Igbos or accepting being Igbo but He has an issue with Aros.
why? He knows the real truth,
The Akalaka and Benin forged migration story is used to beef up their battered self esteem , there is no atom of truth in it.
since 1967 The ikwerres have been fighting the truth till date yet they have not succeeded in burying the truth because nothing can defeat the truth.
This is the real origin of this whole identity brouhaha, Ask any very elderly Okrika man, he will confirm what I just wrote.
Dear Ikwerres, you are free to be whatever you want but You can NEVER be a distinct ethnic nation with Igboid identity, NEVER, drop it and go create your own, Simple.
Oriaku Amara loves you all.

Akalaka was no slave to anyone, rather in his sojourn, he married women from another tribe. So my Rivers sister, you are in a better position to tell the truth about the Ikwerre-Igbo dichotomy rather than the above claim.

@Ilaumoh with regards to Elimon post, i opine that a thread should be created for AkwaCross jobs. " the first historical act is the production of material life itself"

Indaboski cashing out while abians are sleeping. OUK looting Abia since 1999. Well abians headache be that, not my concern.

Nursing is okay but if you believe your passion is in something else then try another thing.

@op how about Galileo and socrates. Tell us what they said about your supreme leader. Nothing ipob no go see for potopoto. Delusion of grandeur

BRACED was an active governors forum during Amaechi's tenure. We have not heard from them for a long time.

Heavy book, ain't it? Lol. A real head fuq. Yes its heavy. To start with, its translated from German. And Heidegger's use of making words up made it even more difficult to translate than some, more especially since he was breaking new ground.

Do know that I'm proud of you for just trying and I'm glad you plan to read it. I'm going to start a thread to see who else would like to join us. We can discuss it there and look like we got two heads. Meanwhile, read the link I posted on it. It might let you know where we are headed.

remember heidegger's concept "Dasein"

CaveAdullam:
I am reading Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl but taking a break because I cannot fully wrap my head around the psychiatric terms used in the book.

Right now, I'm heading to Rational Male Volume 3: Positive Masculinity by Rollo Tomassi. Though I've read it before, but this time, I want to acquaint myself more.

I think it will take me approximately 10 days to read base on my time schedule and other activities, but I know my pace---it might not even get to that period.

Good day.

victor Frankl book is an inspiring novel , even when his situation seems hopeless he still had the will to live.

God bless the Adelekes.

Yorubanized Ijaw.
(Ijaws who are treated as Yoruba due to long Association)

that is the truth. Kiribo is an Ijaw community but they have been influence by the yorubas in the environs. Sowore is Ijaw

He is grateful to Abacha for the creation of Bayelsa state.

Nothing Adele no go see for the other side.

how much is the fee? Is the training a residential one?

Youths dakkada

Good one, but muhamadu Indimi should extend it to other LGAs. People need to confirm to know that his claim is true.

@op how can you compare A Lion Akwa ibom with a pig Abia state. Akwa ibom is the cleanest state in Nigeria whereas Abia is the dirtiest state in Nigeria. Nothing ipob no go see for potopoto east.

We love saro wiwa for standing for us when it matters. He believed that the pen is mightier than the sword.
