Josepholome: •••DEDICATES AWARD TO BAYELSANS, HIS TEAM
The Senator representing Bayelsa West, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, has bagged an award for Transparency in Leadership.
A coalition of over 90 civil society organ under the aegis of the Centre for Credible Leadership and Citizens Awareness, Dr Gabriel honoured Dickson with the award in recognition of his sterling antecedents in the pursuit of transparency as Governor of Bayelsa State.
Director General of the prominent non governmental organization,
The Governor Seriake Dickson, had won the 2018 Transparency Award organised by the management of the Africa Independent Television (AIT).
The Director General of CCLCA Dr. Gabriel Nwambu said while presenting the award to the former Governor at the Press Centre of the Senate on Friday that it was given to him in appreciation of his “unique dimension of governance, conceived and implemented, especially in the area of transparency, accountability, probity and integrity.”
The Director General said that his organization was particularly impressed with the Governor for the bold step to initiate and the implement the Bayelsa State Transparency Law.
According to him, Dickson acted in an unusual and unique manner by initiating a law that makes it mandatory for the Governor and council chairmen to declare monthly incomes and expenditures of the state.
He stated that his Organisation found it fascinating to discover the Dickson made it an impeachable act of gross misconduct for non disclosure of state income and expenditure for three months in the then executive Bill.
He said, “Senator Henry Seriake Dickson was sworn-in as Governor of Bayelsa State on the 14th of February, 2012 and left office after eight years of meritorious service in February 2020
“On resumption, he, among other novel initiatives, sent an Executive Bill to the state House of Assembly called "Transparency Initiative Bill". This Bill makes it mandatory for whoever is the Governor, or his representative, to make public, on monthly basis, the financial standing of the state. In other words, the bill requires a mandatory full disclosure of the total income and expenditure of the state for the preceding month.
“This law literally makes it mandatory for Governors and Local Government Chairmen to declare to the people, the income that comes into their coffers, and the expenditures thereof.
“Within the context of the BAYELSA State Innovative Law, the bill established and enshrined the right of the people to know how their money is received and spent. Failure to align with the legislation for 3 consecutive months would compel the state House of Assembly to initiate impeachment proceedings on the Governor or Local Government Chairman as the case may be.
“Political leaders and several other interest groups at the time, were shocked when, in the draft bill, Senator Dickson insisted that non-conformity with the provision of monthly briefing should amount to gross misconduct in the law, for which the governor could be impeached. Even the lawmakers felt it was too harsh, but Dickson insisted.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is first of its kind in Nigeria and it is now 10 years since the enactment of this law, no other state in Nigeria has enacted any law similar to this.”
Nwambu stated further that the Senator continued with the monthly implementation of the law for eight years thereby propelling the confidence and trust by the electorate in the government.
He said Senator Dickson’s uncompromising stance on transparency made the Association of former LGA Chairmen who served under him to unanimously affirmed to his integrity in public service and declared that as Governor for 8 years, he never tampered with Local Government Council funds.
He noted that it is indeed encouraging for the ex-Chairmen to affirm that “not only did Dickson not tamper with Local Government funds, he also added 15% of the state IGR to the local governments, to assist them with payment of primary school teachers salaries etc.”
He observed that “With this clear focus on transparency and openness and the introduction of higher standards in the administration of the State, little wonder that even in a recessed economy, the new standards brought in ensured that available funds were duly channeled to the actualization of massive developmental strides in Education, Healthcare delivery, massive road network construction, Human Capital Development, Agriculture and general infrastructural Development, including the BAYELSA State International Airport, the N10 billion Bayelsa cassava processing plant, the Aqua culture village, the gulf course, Universities among others which were initiated, completed and commissioned under him. Many other projects cutting across several sectors were either built and completed under him or conceived initiated and started by him as part of his brought vision for a modernized Bayelsa State.”
He stated further the Dickson period signaled departure from the previous practice where public office holders tampered with state resources with impunity.
He said that while it is the practice in Nigeria to honour those who have distinguished themselves in various areas, the organization finds it necessary to break from the practice by honouring those deserving of such honour while they are alive.
In his reaction, Dickson dedicated the award to the people of Bayelsa and his restoration team while in office.
He expressed surprise at the award and urged all other civil society organizations to ensure that those who have done well are encouraged with due recognition rather than the traditional focus on criticism alone.
“On behalf of my family, on behalf of the Restoration Government, the good people of Bayelsa, i thank the DG, and the organizers.
“I dedicate the award to the members of the restoration team, the deputy Governor, Gboribiogha John Jonah, and all the top government operatives. I also appreciate those who put me on my toes, criticizing us for eight years.
“I thanked you even as I urge the NGOs not only to criticize but to also appreciate those who have done well.
“Public servants are not all devils. This country has a reservoir of great minds in the various sectors doing very well. Nation building cannot be done alone by one good person. It takes all to make concerted efforts, the total aggregate of every profession that determines whether a nation is great or not.
“I thanked the DG for the recognition of the modest efforts and contributions in advancing the frontiers of promoting public accountability and development in Bayelsa.
“The Transparency Law is still effective in Bayelsa and I want to recommend it to other states. The People have a right to know the financial decisions: income and expenditure in their state. Bayelsa still operates the law, and the government of the day continues with it. Also, the councils in Bayelsa enjoy financial autonomy.”
mrksquare: To me I am of the opinion that it should be left in it's natural habitat. I don't like animals being imprisoned in zoo. As much as zoo has its advantage of preventing pooshing, but the truth is, research has shown that animals tends to do better when kept in it's natural space. The last time I visited the Port Harcourt zoo, the animals were looking malnourished. I really do not know if things have changed now that Wike has refurbished the place.
presently, the Zoo is open for tourist activities. Any time, you wish to visit, let me know.

A good player in Real Madrid but unfortunately, over the years, he had difficulties and problems while on National duty with France. Nevertheless, I wish him goodluck.
mrksquare: Andonni Local Government Area of Rivers state have elephants in it's thick forest. Sometimes the elephants stray into the communities say hi to the locals.
Months ago, an elephant was seen in Ngo community. I opine that such an animal should be taken to The zoo at slaughter/Okujagu for animal conservation and tourist sight seeing.

mrksquare: The least I expected from you is to empathize with the teachers on this platform and not this your unwarranted, misguided and puerile bashing. Under the public service rule, Civil servants on grade level 8 through 10 are entitled as a matter of right to be promoted every two years.
While the Rivers state workers are fulfilling their own part of the bargain by delivering services, the Rivers state government has been failing in it's duty to promote workers.
When the military was in power it wasn't so. When Odili was in power it wasn't so. Why will it be this bad under Gov. Wike? Well, the answer isn't farfetched. Wike has never worked under any paid employment prior to venturing into politics. So he doesn't understand what is called the labour of love. That is why he treats civil servants with crass disdain.
Look at the Head of Service, he is over 65years. A man who ought to have retired. The Head of Service is a card carry member of the PDP. Virtually all the Perm secretaries are above 60years and are presently retained on contract basis. The harm Gov. Wike has done to the once bosterous Rivers state civil service will take a decade to be remedied.
MethPedo: It's almost the end of the year everyone What do you have to show for it? What progress have you made this year? Me?

I feel your pain Bro, but do not be discouraged. If you have to work and walk alone, don't give up, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
missimelda01: 1. Buy a meal you really enjoy, because you'll get hungry eventually. 2. Watch a Christmas movie or an interesting series 3. Go to an orphanage home, buy somethings for the kids and spend Christmas with them. 4. Visit friends

Nazgul: Lies...major causes of high rate of singles in Nigeria include the following.
1. Unemployment : Unemployment and the fear of not getting a well-paying job tops the list of reasons men run away from marital commitment.
They prefer waiting until they are financially stable to take up the roles of a husband which comes with added responsibilities.
Closely tied to this is the fact that no woman would want to get married to a jobless man who cannot take care of them and they would never touch such men with a metre long pole.
Being financially stable in Nigeria comes with a lot of responsibilities as parents, siblings and other relations would also expect you to dole out something to them at the end of the month.
2. Expensive wedding : In most Nigerian cities, getting married is so expensive that by the time one is done, he would have spent millions of Naira.
Starting from the introduction to the traditional marriage and the white wedding, some places put off their men who are ready to get married and as such, the men end up either getting married to people from other places or not getting married at all.
3. High rate of divorce : Men are often intimidated at the rate of divorce that they witness in the society where most marriages do not last beyond five years.
When they see this and get to hear testimonies from other married men who are having a torrid time in their marriages, they tend to think they could face the same if they get married.
4. No wife material The common notion among most men is the reservation that there is scarcity of ‘wife-materials’ in Nigeria. In this case, they are not referring to ladies not being in quantifiable distribution among men, what they are complaining about is that most ladies of this generation lack the necessary attributes that will qualify them for the lifetime commitment called marriage.
This is because fornication in Nigeria today is like food. You can sit at the comfort of your home and order for a girl online, for all kinds of sexual fantasy. This act scares most guys including ones who patronize these girls.
Cos they'll keep asking that question...who go marry this one?
thestreets: Bro. You just have to calm down. I created this thread for pals like you. Life is deep and one thing I want you to know is this as long as you are putting in your efforts you will get paid. My happiness is that you have a skill and a good one for that matter. Don't look at people bro. Focus on you. I was given a timeline to move from where I was staying. Corona virus lock down and one other package(name withheld to keep my identity secret) hit me so hard that I lost my accommodation and I could not return to my base. It was really rough for me. The neighbors were looking at me like a criminal. I don't usually go out. I was busy learning coding inside the house. I also learned other computing skills. At some point I could not continue to learn because the person I was staying with kept asking me when I will start making money from what I was learning. Damn life was hard. I held it all in and took a break.Things became harder when my income source was cut off and my reserve dried up. But one thing about me is that I learned early in life that a man must have a strong support
I believe in God and I don't worship men of God but God himself. I can still picture in my mind how they used to laugh at me anything I prayed in front of them. It was my rosary(divine mercy because I was born a catholic. Religion by ascription. I did not choose. But now bro I got my own crib, a nice job that puts food on my table and helps me clear my siblings bills without stress. I work from the comfort of my room. Those programming concepts I learned has helped me in solving real word problems. So you see no knowledge is a waste.
I skipped the part where I used to trek from Magboro to Arepo to do a factory job. I stand for 8 hours per day and this happens from Monday to Friday. I had no choice then. The Chinese guys gave us meals at noon and that will be my meal for the day. I had a family then but I wanted to be out there on my own far away from home. Why did I go there? To gain skills for free and it almost worked out. Let me keep this for another time as this will be a very long and lively thread. I will copy your moniker and save it somewhere and as I am working I will be looking for places where you can sell your skills to foreigners for some money. For now do any job close to you that can put food on your table and try to learn a free skill. You can create a LinkedIn account and show what you can do. The universe has a way of helping her people. You will laugh soonest.
You have been through a lot What an emotional story.

kabanayol9: Mariah Carey ft Lil Wayne, Akon bye bye, I remember my late grandma.
"They said Heaven is gated I think I know the code make your life straight At the end of the road But now I drive alone Down memory lane so when I crash I hope y'all remember Wayne Bye bye...." the remix version which featured Akon and Lil Wayne is more better than the first version which Mariah Carey sang alone.
Samantha123: As for me, any song by R Kelly reminds me of my late brother because he was the one who introduced me to RNB music and of course, you can't talk of RNB music and not include the king of RNB R Kelly.
Especially the song titled 'I wish', it always gets me emotional because I can relate to what he's saying.
"I know you are in a better place I know I can't see Your face I know you are smiling down on me saying everything will be okay... If I ever leave this T... life I would see you again someday I wish, I wish, I wish...." R.kelly songs in the 90s and early 2000s were so melodious
