ONELGA NEWS UPDATE:

EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT VISITS EX- RIVER STATE LAW MAKER (HON. SINGER NELSON FROM EGBEMA).

HERE IS OUR CHAT:

The movement for the recognition of Egbema in River state has taken a new step as the leader of the peace and developmental initiative in Egbema Kingdom known as EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVENT visited one of her son, An Ex- Rivers state law maker who represented the Good people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area( Constituency 2.) OF River State between 2003 - 2007.

 I visited Hon Singer and asked some of the following Questions which he did not hesitate to answer. We are not just peace initiated but also interrogatory group who demands accountability in office from our leaders.

1.   HON. TELL US ABOUT YOUR DAYS IN THE STATE ASSEMBLY?

Answer: I am Hon Singer Nelson, and I hail from Umu-osita clan in Okwuzi community, Egbema Kingdom in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA. R/S. I served as the people’s representatives (ONELGA CONSTITUENCY 2) at the state house of assemble for 4years (2003-2007). I left the Assembly 27^th may, 2007 that’s been a decade now.

2.   Hon. What was your achievements and major setbacks during your stay in office?

Answer: well as a human being I did my best even with the limited tenure then. I cannot remember all expect I make reference to my catalogue. But I remember I undertook the following projects:

·        I moved the Rivers tourism development Bill.

·        I drew the attention of the then Gov. peter Odili to execute the fencing of the Okwuzi-Egbema General Hospital.

·         I also under took the land scrapping project in the General hospital.

·        I made the move for the renovation of the Okwuzi-Egbema General Hospital. Even thou Dr. Peter Odili gave the contract to one General Azazi his friend who didn’t take it serious and handed over the job to the daughter and then her daughter now brought her boyfriend and the job became a mess. If not, the hospital would have been in a nice state as we speak.

·        I ensured that 9 of our children travelled abroad. Even when I knew some of them came back to know Governments fault.

·        I built the Ndoni Ultra-modern market which is at the peck of River Niger. Although the people are not using it because it was out of the town.

·        I moved the Bill for the Renovation of the berth weight tank.

·        I did the Umu-Agburuga Road Projects and others in Okwuzi.

·        I attracted internal road projects to various communities.

·        I worked with Dr. Peter Odili to begin the dulalisation of the OMOKU-OKWUZI TTC ROAD CONTRACT.

·        The local jetty renovations and among others.

·        We started a Road from OGBIDI- KERIGANI-OHALI-IDU USOMINI axis before the interference of the OBA OF OGBALAND. Claiming the contract was awarded to him by ELF/TOTAL. That was the end of the contract.

·        I did the renovation of the EDO OBOSIKWU SECONDARY SCHOOL.

·        I tried to make the Gov. link EKPE-AGGAH to AGGAH COMMUNITY ROAD. Before the obstruction from Chief William Ijeoma and co. the unnecessary agitation for the contract by some Egbema people led to the backwardness in infrastructural development in Egbema Kingdom during my days at the Assemble.

·        I renovated the Government Secondary School in KERIGANI. 6 CLASS ROOMS UP.

·        My major challenge was with my Egbema Brothers and the intrusion in state Government Contract by the Ogba people and EZE OBA OF OGBALAND.

·        HON. YOU SAID LIMITED TIME, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

Answer: yes the initial plan was for me to work for 4years and    leave. But when I left office 2007 an Ndoni Man Hon Lucky Odili came into play and served from 2007-2011 and 2011-2015 as against the agreement. And now Usomini man is there Hon. Nath Uwaji is there, he will stay till 2019. Or even more.

·        HON. WHAT WILL BE YOUR TAKE IF HON NATH OPINES FOR A SECOND TERM?

Answer: well is his right if he wants to. After all Hon. Lucky started it all.  To me, I will advise he stays for 8years. Because he is just getting into play and needs to learn a lot about governance maybe by his second term he will begin to do wonders. This will now be an already settled agreement when he finally leaves for an Egbema man to come and serve his 8years without stress. It should be rotational irrespective of political ideologies.

HON. YOU LEFT OFFICE MAY 27^TH 2007 AND A LOT HAPPENED.

Answer: yes a lot of things happened. I finished from the state Assembly and a new Government came onboard. Hon. Sir Celestine Omehia became the new River state Governor and immediately called for a Local Government election across the state to elect in Local Government Chairmen to work with. A lot of people indicated interest in their Lga’s and I indicated interest as well for the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Chairmanship position. We were 38 in number fromONELGA and at the end of the day I emerged the flag bearer as a candidate for the people’s Democratic Party (PDP). We were all handed over flag at Ahoada local Government. The election was to be held on the 20^th October, 2007 when coincidentally the same day was to be the traditional marriage day of the son of Oba of Ogba land (HON PRINCE UNCHE NNAM-OBI & the daughter of the then incumbent Governor Sir Dr. Peter Odili, so the election was postponed not until 25^th 0ctober, 2007 the supreme court gave an obnoxious judgement that nullified the election of Gov. Celestine Omehia and installed Gov. Rotimi Ameachi.  Ameachi came into play and scrapped all the party candidates for the Local Government Elections as proposed by Gov. Omehia. We the party candidates proceeded to court. Although I was quite lucky as I didn’t go into borrowing to fund my campaigns then as some of my collegues from other LGA’s did. I was just leaving the Assembly. And had some savings.

HON. THERE WAS CLAIMS THAT THE THEN GOVERNOR AMEACHI NEVER WANTED YOU AROUND HIM. WHAT HAPPENED?

Answer: Ameachi accused me of working against him. Which is very true? I was following instructions from my brother the outgoing Governor then. As a matter of fact I was number 4^th in the list of the assemble members who signed for the impeachment of Ameachi. We reserved the 1^st,2^nd for the speaker of the house and its leader, 3^rd was Hon Tam Gogo jaja and the 4^th was myself.

HON. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER?

Answer:The heat was on and Gov. Ameachi flew to Ghana. And Dr. Odili was incharge.  Dr. odili called me and I lead the Assemble members to see him at the Government House where he Cooked lavishly and we all ate. He pleaded that I should retire from processing the impeachment move of Ameachi that he was scared. Therein we accepted and Gov. Ameachi came to power with wike as a Chief of Staff following him.

HON. AMEACHI SHOULD BE YOU NUMBER 1 ENEMY FOR DENYING YOU OF YOUR LGA CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION. WHY ARE YOU IN THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY WITH HIM?

Answer: it’s all about Politics. Honestly if I were him I would have done the same. Ordinarily there is no way he would be a governor and allow someone who signed impeachment bill against you have his way. Although he knew I was following orders from his Boss Dr. Odili.

HON. WAS DR. ODILI’S ADMINISTRATION FAVOURABLE TO THE EGBEMA PEOPLE?

Answer: Honestly not at all. All projects in Egbema during my days in the Assemble were constituency projects. Dr. Odili never allowed us tap from his office. He was not homely and was at all means after the presidency. To me, I believed he wanted to become the president 1^st before addressing the issue of the Egbema and Niger delta People unfortunately we lost it all.

HON. ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE APC?

Answer: I am a full time member and a stakeholder. I am the leader of APC in EGBEMA and one of the leaders in the LGA.

HON WHY DID YOU JOIN THE APC?

Answer: I left the PDP to APC because of the impunity in the PDP. The injustice melted on CHIEF G.U.AKE triggered me to leave.

DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRET JOINING THE APC?

Answer: I have no regret at all. I don’t harlot in politics.

HON. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON SOME OF YOUR MEMEMBERS IN THE LGA AND STATE LEAVEING THE APC FOR THE PDP?

Answer: it’s up to them. They are people who cannot stand hunger for a while. So we do not need such persons. Moreover, a lot of persons are on daily basis defecting to the All Progressive Congress. Even if we lost a thousand, it’s just a number. With the coming of Prince Tonye Prince will alone, the party have covered its loss. We still have Chief Dumo lulu Briggs and among others. Come 2019 we will overtake.

HON. BACK TO EGBEMA ANDS ITS CONTINUAL NEGLECT BY THE LGA & STATE GOVERNMENT. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?

Answer: I think we have EGBEMA Big boys in the PDP. They should look into this. The major problem with Egbema people is lack of UNITY AND LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. Until this is Genuinely addressed, EGBEMA Will remain relegated to the lest background in the scheme of things in ONELGA AND RIVER STATE. I thank God you took notice of all the Governor Wike’s promises to the Egbema people. Has he fulfilled any one? Some at times I wish our people will just grow up in politics. But they said we have an S.A to the Governor let him canvass for our good.

FINALLY, HON WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT?

Answer: to me you guys are really trying. It is not easy to take up the struggle for togetherness in EGBEMA. This is what some of us had in mind but could not achieve because of lack of unity. Continue in your good deeds and you have my total support. Thank you.

DO NOT PUSH US TO THE WALL, EGBEMA PEOPLE WARNS LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT.

DO NOT PUSH US TO THE WALL, EGBEMA PEOPLE WARNS LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT.

It becomes a trend whenever a section of river state coughs owning definitely too some slight against her by the state government. Some of the slight could range from: Lack of Recognition by a Government which they overwhelmingly helped into power, when they are exploited and neglected by some foreign oil extracting companies which they play host to. Lack of Basic Amenities among other sacrosanct needs and issues common among embittered people in River State. The wondrous question however to ask, would be: When will the Egbema situation become a trend? When will the voice of the marginalized, abandoned and impoverished and yet resourceful Kingdom be heard? When will her plight as the world most forgotten and unknown status be changed for good? When will Egbema Kingdom (one of the three resourceful kingdom that makes up ONELGA, the second most resource endowed and oil-rich local Government of Nigeria) become recognized in her own state where, arguably she accounts for 15% of the total revenue for the state and as a local Government (ONELGA) Some 18% of Nigeria’s total income? Well, your guess is good as mine.

The Egbema people of River state prior to 2015 Gubernatorial election welcomed and showered the wike-led Government with unflinching support. This was reflected in the massive turnout of votes recorded in the favour of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). Abinito, the kingdom once more believed in the juicy promises of what would be a usual and common political rhetoric common among politicians.

Apparently, the people are amazed and too dump for speech as they have been relegated to the background in the scheme of things in river state. The Gov. Wike led state government has made numerous appointments, setting up committees, confirmed awards and the likes for the purposes of delivering a framework that will take the state to the next level. Sadly as we have noted, these appointments and all other constituting bodies established, Geared at developing Rivers State does not genuflect his promises to the Egbema people.

As the day goes, the neglect increases, leading to all manner of crime and exploitation in the region by the bigwigs (political desperadoes) and multi-nationals they play host to their explosive installations. (Nigeria Agip oil Company limited, & co.).

However, our major grievance’s is not with the multi-nationals operating in our land, but with the River state Government and political bulldozers in ONELGA whom choose to play politics with the lives of its people.

Many at times we ask again the following questions:

*Are we really Rivers people?

* Why must we beg our state government for appointment and recognition in a state we contribute more than 20% of its income revenue?

*Why is it that we have been denied access to government house to seek for an audience with our state Governor?

The River state governor cannot denial knowledge of the fact that the people of EGBEMA gave him the highest number of votes in ONELGA despite the undeserved number of (2 electoral wards) it has against the 17 electoral wards in OGBA/EGBEMA/NDONI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF RIVER STATE.

We wish to remind the State Governor all his campaign promises to us EGBEMA prior to the 2015 gubernatorial election and after in the state that brought about his emergence.

·       VOTE FOR ME, AND LET ME SEE ANY OIL COMPANY THAT WE SAY EGBEMA PEOPLE WILL NOT ENJOY WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM. (GOV. WIKE FEBRUARY 14^TH 2015).

·       I WILL GIVE YOU A COMMISSIONER SLOT (POSITION) IN MY ADMINISTRATION.

·       I WILL CONSTRUCT EGBEMA MGBEDE-AGGAH ROAD. (GOV WIKE).

·       I WILL UPGRADE THE OKWUZI-EGBEMA GENERAL HOSPITAL, WHERE IS THE COMMISSIONER FOR HEALTH HON. DR. ODAGME THEOPHILUS GO NOW TO EGBEMA AND DO YOUR ASSESSMENT BEFORE RETURNING TO PORT HARCOURT. (GOV. WIKE DECEMBER 3^RD 2016)

·       I WILL VISIT EGBEMA AGAIN BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR (GOV. WIKE DECEMBER 3^RD AT THE FLAG-OFF THE OMOKU GENERAL HOSPITAL)

·       I  WILL DUALIZE THE OMOKU- EGBEMA ROAD ( GOV. WIKE FEB 14^TH 2015 & DECEMBER 3^RD 2016.

·       I WILL CONSTRUCT INTERNAL ROADS IN EGBEMA. (GOV. WIKE FEB 14^{TH, 2015} & DECEMBER 3^RD 2016)

OUR DEMANDS REMAINS:

1.  GIVE US A COMMISSIONER’s POSITION

2.  GRANT THE REQUEST OF OUR EGBEMA ELITES FOR THE RECOGNITION OF OUR ROYAL STOOL. THE NZE-OBI STOOL OF EGBEMA KINGDOM AS A 1^ST CLASS STOOL IN THE STATE, THE EZE-ALI STOOLS AS 2^ND CLASS AND EZE –EZHI STOOL AS 3^RD CLASS IN THE SATE. These will relief us of the fear of not been forgotten and neglected in the Socio-cultural practice and genuine representation in our Golden state.

3.  Review and correct the electoral ward injustice in OGBA/EGBEMA/NDONI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA of River State.

4.  Kick start the OMOKU- EGBEMA ROAD dualization. The Road is in a very deplorable state.

5.  Use your good position as the state governor to compel the Italian oil giant (NAOC) to pay the 1billionaira environmental and aquatic damage suit by the Egbema people to the NIGERIAN AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED. This was as a result of their company’s equipment failure which caused a lot of health hazard in the region. More so, the damages caused from using poor and substandard equipment is not in favour of the Nigerian Law as a condition for operation by foreign investors.

6.  We need an information technology center (ITC) in egbema. With this, students of the region and beyond will be sure of a jamb computer based test center and other computer related examinations. It is regrettable that OGBA/EGBEMA/NDONI L.G.A has no JAMB CBT CENTER. NOT UNTIL FEW DAYS TO THE 2017 JAMB REGISTRATION CLOSSURE WHEN FEDERAL COLLEDGE OF EDUCATION TECHNICAL OMOKU WAS GIVEN A CENTER. By the time the center was given virtually, all Onelga students whom were candidates for the exams had gotten the jamb form and posted to distanced places far away from home which then require spending. Ordinarily if we had an IT CENTER in Egbema, this will not have happen. Parents will save cost.

7.  Apart from projects sited by oil companies in our land, the EGBEMA people cannot boost of any state or federal Government project in her Kingdom. We need state government’s project in Egbema. The street lights, transformers in Egbema are not functioning. The dilapidated government properties like the Egbema grammar school okwuzi, Community secondary school Mgbede, Community Girls Secondary school aggah needs renovations and probably a reconstruction. What about our customary & Magistrate court buildings?   We will love our streets to look as shining as the streets of Port Harcourt at night were street lights are mounted on every electric pole. Or is Port Harcourt the only place in river state?

8.  OUR ONLY OKWUZI-EGBEMA GENERAL HOSPITAL needs urgent attention as the structures and health facilities used there are below standard and needs replacement. Its Building needs restructuring and more health experts should be employed to cub health related challenges of our sick ones.

9.  Appoint more EGBEMA SONS AND DAUGTHERS IN YOUR CABINET. We need to have representatives at the brick house. Sad enough we cannot boost of any son of egbema holding a lucrative position in the state. Until that is done, we stand to continually be neglected.

10.Move some of your projects to Egbema. Port Harcourt is too congested. All developmental projects must not be sited in Port Harcourt. Think about building a tourist attraction with OUR NKISA EBOCHA River IN EGBEMA. This, if executed by the state or Local government will be a good source of income for the local and state Government. Example Obudu cattle ranch in cross River state, tinapia, lagos bar beach and lots more. These are tourist attractions in different state controlled and managed by the state government. We still say thank you for providing us with THE PORT HARCOURT PLEASURE PARK.

These and many others too numerous to mention, are our request to the state Government.  Not forgetting  the just concluded politicized awards from the Golden jubilee committee were more than 127 nominees were given an award and not even a single award came to Egbema. Your Excellency, indirectly it is to say that Egbema have not affected the State Positively. We in a loud voice condemn such awards because it lacks inclusiveness and the committees did not make enough findings and research before coming up with such nominees. however, We forgive that but vow not to keep quiet the next time such a calculated denial of citizenship right of our people is hijacked at the center. However, we wish to say “that our Kingdom’s silence and non-involvement in violent participation in the state should not be used as a reason to continually neglect and abandon us”. To earn our support come 2019, the state Government must make us feel its positive impact in terms of development, empowerment and equal representation in the affairs of our state. The people of Egbema have vowed to continually support His Excellency the Governor in any way he needs our help. While calling on him to always be a “collective leader” which we have known him for.

May God bless our Governor His Excellency!

LONGLIVE RIVER STATE,

LONGLIVE ONELGA, &

                               LONGLIVE EGBEMA KINGDOM!!!
