Then again are people who are wealthy and charitable yet really like to tuck away among the everyday citizens. Mr. David Ogwo is one of the latter, in spite of the fact that his endeavors to stay under the radar have not been half just about as fruitful as his splendid charitable initiatives and moves.

For the individuals who have not had the delight of knowing Endy, he is the Founder and Chairman of Endy Ogwo Foundation, an Humanitarian organisation which has over the years touched the lives of the less privileged in Abia state and Nigeria in general.

An organizations that is keen on giving hope to the hopeless and enriching minds and lives. These includes empowering the less privileged in various communities in Abia State, scholarship opportunities , building of houses for the less fortunate, sponsoring people abroad for either studies or greener pastures.

The consistency of all these culminates to the series of international and local awards recognising his contribution to the betterment of humanity. As his compassion and love for the less fortunate sees him donating to good causes around his locality and beyond.

The Controller General of the Federal Fire Service Condemns the Attack on Firefighters in Kogi State.

- He said perpetrators must be brought to book

The Controller General, Dr. Liman Ibrahim says the attack on firefighters and fire trucks by hoodlums is unacceptable and those responsible will definitely not go unpunished.
The attack took place on Wednesday, 9th September 2021 along Felele road when firefighters were turning out to a car fire at Al-Salam fuel station opposite Kogi State Polytechnic. The State command had received a fire call concerning a car fire, while approaching the scene, mob armed with dangerous weapons began to attack the truck which was conveying firefighters. Thereby destroying parts of the truck and injuring firefighters who are currently receiving treatment at the hospital. This is the second time in Kogi State firefighters will be attacked.

The matter has since been reported to the Police for investigation and subsequent arrest of those responsible. The Chief Security Officer of the Kogi State Government house has also been informed.

Dr. Liman who has vowed that those behind this dastardly act will surely be punished reiterates that it is a criminal offence for anyone to attack firefighters or fire truck for whatsoever reasons.
He further says that his directive of blacklisting any community who continuously attacks firefighters still stands and that henceforth any state government that can not ensure the protection of Federal Fire Service firefighters and equipments in their states will leave the Service with no other option but to withdraw its presence from the State,as he will not fold his hands and watch his men been maimed and killed as well as fire trucks worth millions of Naira been destroyed.

The Controller General who says this attack which is one amongst many has further substantiated his call for the establishment of an armed squad in the Federal Fire Service known as Fire Police who will be saddled with the responsibility of protecting firefighters and fire trucks at fire scenes, because this hoodlums are emboldened to attack firefighters because they know that they don't have the protection of armed men.

The CG has called on the Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Yahya Bello to address this barbaric act by citizens of the state so as to avoid it's reoccurrence.

The Controller General, Dr. Liman Alhaji Ibrahim revives a 25 year old abadoned hydraulic platform in Lagos state.

Do not say what you dont know... He never stole a penny...



You don't mean it Mr Auditor!
Show me any civil servant in Nigeria that sit where there is money that has never stole a penny?
Mind you he was a civil servant so having such humongous money to buy a form call for concern.

Stop saying what you dont know. It is hate speech.

xolocious:
NOTHING different... Recycled politicians and at such, same OLD STORY...

So much difference...

Flyingngel:
The little money he stole from National Assembly is doing him somehow.
Let him come and see how failure looks like.

Do not say what you dont know... He never stole a penny...

tibexgoodboy:
Adelami’s fellow contestants are scared because:

1. He is an (mni) (Member of the National Institute, Kuru, Jos) which I don’t expect them to know about this nor their followers. There just isn’t any point explaining to them lol. (But who knows, surely does know).

2. He is a Stellar Federal Public Servant the best the state has ever produced.

3. He is an authority in key disciplines.
Fellow CIPSMN, Fellow CMA, Fellow CITN, Fellow ANAN, Fellow CITaxationNigeria, Graduate Harvard Business School Massachusetts, USA, mention just a few.

(P.S not even your SAN can be compared to being an (mni). Go and ask pls

4. He committed himself to helping the less privileged and did not do it with an iota of deceit to run for office. This is evident as his projects were first in FCT and then Owo; his hometown.
Most of his co-contestants extended their tentacles to all 18 LGAs, but Adelami only did 1. Ohh Adelami the promise child!

5. They are jittery because he is ready to expose their lies and deceit to the great and good people of Ondo People.


6. He is very Humble and respectful to all (Old and Young) They know this. They are envious of his God given trait. They can’t hold a conversation for too long with their supporters without snapping at them. They are not cool, calm and collected like Adelami.
Reading this, now they don’t know what to say or do again, they want to now kill him, slander him and lie against his unblemished records serving humanity and the public (Character Assassination).

Now let me pray for you

Any ill you wish Olayide Adelami (mni) and lies you tell against him; May it be served to you, your family and your generation in multiple folds as long as God remains God. Amen!!!


May the God watching over the widows he loves and takes care of; inflict hardship on you as you speak lies against him. Amen!!!

It is sealed...

You have said it all
