EGBEMA NEEDS A RALLYING POINT, CALL FOR A TOWN HALL MEETING NOW


EGBEMA NEEDS A RALLYING POINT,
CALL FOR A TOWN HALL MEETING NOW_EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT CRIES.

Urges Traditional Rulers and Leaders.

A popular maxim says, PREPARATION IS THE MOTHER OF MANIFESTATION.

And another opines:
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.

We complain, and most times blame the current Government in the State for not living up to the EGBEMA Expectations.

However, forgetting that we as a KINGDOM and Ethnicity have no rallying point where the LEADERSHIP and common people of Egbema meet to discuss daring issues that bothers us as a people, desirous of Growth and Development.

When I was a child, I was told we have no recognized Authorities in Egbema and for over 18 years now, the trend Remains the same.

But I have a question, which is:
WHO OR WHAT IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN EGBEMA?

Like I have always said,  LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE IS NOT JUST THE SOLE DUTIES OF OUR TRADITIONAL RULERS, CHIEFS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN, YOUTHS PRESIDENT AND OR OUR POLITICIANS ALONE,
BUT THE COMPASS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL WHO BREATHES FROM THE SOCIETY.

Egbema have Traditional Rulers and COUNCIL of Traditional Rulers and CHIEF'S, Opinion leaders and Elder statesmen who represents us at various settings and drag down Oil companies projects and Government appointments to our land.

My question again is:
HOW DO WE MEET AND KNOW OUR LEADERS WHEN FOR OVER DECADES NOW, WE HAVE NOT GATHERED IN OUR NUMBERS TO SEE AND LISTEN TO THIS LEADERS WHO DO ALL THIS,  SPEAK A WORD TO US.

How long should we continue to Smile while Suffering?
How long should the  children of MR. A continue to keep grudges and avoid the  gathering of the children of MR. B ?

How long can we continue to push forward individual interest in place of Communal interest and benefits?

Oh! Thou Great and Mighty Egbema, our ALINSO !!!
Who brought Greed, hatred and destruction to our land?

EGBEMA ARISE!!!
OUR LEADERS ARISE,
OUR MOTHERS ARISE,
OUR YOUTHS ARISE !

The time is now,
Political affiliations, Politics of bitterness and Individuals pursuits  has sheltered our land and has turned brothers to live time enemies.

EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT begs, and call on all aggrieved parties and individuals in Egbema to please, forgo the past for it has denied us many opportunities.
Let's all extend a hand in the spirit  of sportsmanship and help our Present Traditional Rulers rebuild and Reposition Egbema for the good.

We need a a rallying point, we need to immediately hold a GENERAL TOWN HALL MEETING where we can all suggest, contribute and collectively channel any reached understanding of the EGBEMA PEOPLE to the consigned parties.

We have a plight that begs to be addressed.

Call for the meeting now EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT URGES TRADITIONAL RULERS AND LEADERS IN EGBEMA.

AM NOT RUNNING FOR COUNCILLORSHIP IN WARD 11 EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT LEADER CRIES OUT. I RESPECT ZONING. The leader of the visionary group in EGBEMA, Ogba_Egbema_Ndoni Area of Rivers State Comrade I.E. KELLY RUFUS, has denied speculations within EGBEMA AND ONELGA RIVERS STATE that he will in no distance time join his friends in the Race for the Ward 11 councillorship election in the Local Government. This was made known after a closed door meeting with some Ward 11 concerned youths on Wednesday during a COURTESY call to him. I HAVE NO POLITICAL AMBITION FOR NOW, AND PEOPLE SHOULD DESIST FROM PROPAGATING FALSEHOOD. SOME PERSONS IN WARD 11 HAVE BEEN CALLING ME THAT THEY DESIRE THE COUNCILLORS POSITION AND THAT THEY HEARD AM JOINING THE RACE ALSO. SINCERELY, I HAVE NEVER DISCLOSED PUBLICLY THAT I WILL RUN FOR COUNCILLORSHIP FOR NOW_KELLY noted. I understand that our WARD 11 is made up of two larger Communities OKWUZI & MGBEDE with sub_Villages amounting to 16 in the Same Ward. However, it is believed that Okwuzi just had her turn in the person of the immediate Councillor HON. MRS. CHIOMA EMEJI and now it is turn for MGBEDE to take hers. I RESPECT ZONING A LOT, and I will not want to deviate from our Grassroot understanding of power distribution in WARD 11. People should stop been scared of my acclaimed intention to run for Councillor and take the bull by the horn. I have always said, I CAN ONLY SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE AGES OF 21_35 years for Councillor in EGBEMA. So, I urge the People of MGBEDE COMMUNITY to immediately harmonize herself and present to us Ward 11 their Candidate for the job. I am for every body and I am for nobody. If you can convince me and the entire people of Ward 11 of your readiness and good intentions, then am for you. But for now, I will support all persons equally for they are all my friends. .

REV. (DR.)  JOSEPH .C. OMAEGBU

I Never Bought GUN_ Omaegbu Denies.

The Leadership of EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT VISITED REV. DR. JOSEPH OMAEGBU MEMBER RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY GOVERNING COUNCIL.

Here is our Chat:
E.M.M_ may we know you sir?
ANSWER_ I am Rev. DR. Joseph  Omaegbu, and I hail from AGGAH COMMUNITY IN EGBEMA, RIVERS STATE.
A graduate of Economics from UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT 1983, A contractor, FORMER EZE_ALI OF AGGAH COMMUNITY BEFORE I GAVE IT OUT FOR PEACE,
I HAVE BEEN A FORMER COUNCILLOR OF EGBEMA IN THE THEN AHOADA LOCAL GOVERNMENT, CURRENTLY THE FOUNDER AND GENERAL OVERSEER OF KOINONIA INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES AGGAH AND OTHER BRANCHES,
I AM A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING COUNCIL, RIVERS STATE UNIVERSITY PORT HARCOURT.

E.M.M_ Sir you were the Pioneer/founder and 1st President of EGBEMA YOUTHS ASSOCIATION, what were your motivations and ACHIEVEMENTS using EGBEMA YOUTHS ASSOCIATION?

ANSWER_ Thank you. I was denied Employment opportunities after I know that I passed my Interview for a job with AGIP_(NAOC).
After the denial, I went home to unite my people for the fight against injustice with Agip, then I was a teacher in AKAKI  SECONDARY SCHOOL/OLD AHOADA WEST 1979 and then we had Strong Traditional Rulers and CHIEF'S in the likes of, LATE HRH: JN NWACHUKWU, I.C. IJEOMA, AMUTADI, CHRISTOPHER IJEOMA AND OTHERS.
we found E.Y.A on JULY 1979. And our first BLOCKADE was same year which yielded the following:
72_ POST PRIMARY SCHOLARSHIPS,
6_ POST SECONDARY SCHOLARSHIP
and 1 OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP given to me to travel out which I refused traveling out and insisted in studying at UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT. The Abroad SCHOLARSHIP I gave to my elder brother because I perceived that it was a prank to push Me far from home and cease our operations as EGBEMA YOUTH ASSOCIATION.
For the SCHOLARSHIP opportunities due AGGAH COMMUNITY, I INSISTED THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE GIVEN PRIORITY
for Employment, 12 persons FROM EGBEMA wrote exams for well operators but AGIP SAID ONLY ME PASSED. I rejected the employment chance and because of my Refusal, 8_9 Persons was Immediately employed by Agip and by 1980 Fortunately for us we all gained admission to the university same year.
The major actors then were VICTOR NWAUGO FROM OKWUZI NOW A PROFESSOR WAS SECRETARY,
ANTHONY ELUME WAS TREASURER,  JOSEPH ANYASO, NWAOKEOJI FROM EKESIBE LINEAGE.
it was through that process that COLLINS IJEOMA, LUKE EJEKWE, VICTOR NWAUGO, JOEL NWOKEOJI, JOSEPH ANYAOKWU and others were employed by AGIP.
Worthy to note, EGBEMA YOUTHS ASSOCIATION WAS INSTRUMENTAL TO THE ELECTRIFICATION OF EGBEMA BY AGIP which we all enjoy today. I serve as a PRESIDENT AND when my tenure elapsed, I ALSO SERVED AS A SECRETARY GENERAL FOR EGBEMA YOUTHS ASSOCIATION.

E.M.M_ SIR, SO MANY PERSONS IN EGBEMA CLAIMS  YOU ARE THE PROBLEM OF EGBEMA. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THAT?
ANSWER_ I do not care about what anybody says. I choose to remain a problem to Egbema so long as I Fight injustice and present a way forward.
I NEVER, NEVER BOUGHT GUNS OR EMPOWERED ANYBODY TO KILL.
I have EMPOWERED a lot of youths through Employment,  this people will attest to. I won the councillor's position then to represent Egbema was because of my good relationship with the people. Sincerely, I have no much money then even when I contested against a rich man and even had court cases but yet I won.
I Renamed COMMUNITY SECONDARY SCHOOL AJAKOI TO EGBEMA GRAMMAR SCHOOL OKWUZI.
I am the highest employer of labour here in EGBEMA and this is how I am a bad person because I am good. If it's easy, a least, let this persons saying this out do my record. but for now, AM comfortable because am not competing with anybody (AM A ELORO NRI)

E.M.M_ WHO IS THE NZE_OBI OF EGBEMA AND WHY IS IT NOT A 1ST CLASS STOOL IN THE STATE?

ANSWER_ We have no NZE_OBI and I can say this, I have never signed that Amuda is NZE_OBI OF EGBEMA. I have proposed that we take the matter from court and settle it at home. there are so many contenders for the stool.
AMUDA IS NOT THE NZE_OBI OF EGBEMA.
If they say he is, then let him do his coronation.
Am not against him, but we need to follow the right way.
If we as Egbema people agree that Amuda will be our NZE_OBI so be it, then we support him  but for now things should be done the right way.
I have no interest on who becomes provided we do things the right way.

E.M.M_ You Are a party Chieftain of the PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN ONELGA and RIVERS STATE . ALSO AN OPINION LEADER IN EGBEMA. Are you comfortable with the treatment we Get from the GOVERNOR WIKE_LED (P.D.P) STATE GOVERNMENT?

ANSWER_ YES and NO.
Yes because as an individual who fought for the PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY, I am having something and that is personal. NO because our upcoming politicians have refused to accept the truth.
Ask me how often do we sit to hold meetings were agenda will be for the good of our Egbema people? We don't meet at all and that has denied us a lot. But I pray We recover.
you see, politics is all about calculations and if you miss, you miss out.
We are not United as to fight for our common good instead, we put Personal interest first. I must say this Your generations and the ones immediate to us are worst.

E.M.M_ having ran for the ONELGA CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION and AHOADA WEST/OGBA_EGBEMA_NDONI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 2015, DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY POLITICAL AMBITION?
ANSWER_ It is my prayers that I go higher so that I may show the people what leadership is all about.

E.M.M_ we are in for a campaign for YOUTHS EMPOWERMENT and inclusiveness in LEADERSHIP and GOVERNANCE  Will you support our campaign for people above the ages of (25_35) to stay off councillorship positions in Egbema, also, that EGBEMA YOUTHS PRESIDENT must be for the youths between the ages of (25_45)? And COMMUNITY YOUTHS PRESIDENT (25_40)? As to avail eligible YOUTHS the opportunities to serve and prove herself worthy and competent?
ANSWER_ YES I SUPPORT.

E.M.M_ lastly, If you receive an invitation for a GENERAL EGBEMA TOWN HALL MEETING will you attend?
ANSWER_ I will. But that is if is a meeting that will take us forward I will attend and support.
Thank you.

RUN FOR ELECTIVE POSITIONS NOW EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT URGES RIVERS YOUTHS

EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT URGES YOUTHS TO RUN FOR ELECTIVE POSITIONS COME NEXT ELECTION

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CRITICIZE LEADERS, TAKE A BOLD STEP_E.M.M CHALLENGES.

I Believe It is high time the Youths of Rivers State, particularly, YOUTHS OF EGBEMA_ONELGA Rivers State.
Be allowed to occupy various elective positions in her ward, local and State Government levels in the likes of:
Councillors, State Assembly and Local Government Chairmanship positions).

I want to appeal to all the Youths of EGBEMA KINGDOM and ONELGA YOUTHS as well, to start awakening their sociopolitical consciousness by becoming Actively involved in the decisions, leadership and Governance of her own Communities and State.

Like they say: Life is all about trials. The major reasons why we have failed leadership in our Nation today is basically the None involvements of Credible and vibrant youths in the Political hemispheres of our local, states and federal Government.

As visionary team, our number one priority will be to see a society were all YOUTHS are given faire treatment and a level playing ground to test her popularity at the electoral fields.

I MUST COMMEND THE RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR, HIS EXCELLENCY, (BARRISTER) NYESOM WIKE, CON, GSSRS. for his show of civility and proven leadership that is all encompassing. The nominations and confirmation of the Appointments of various YOUTHS in Rivers State, especially from the Social Media's To serve under his leadership as MEMBERS, CARETAKER COMMITTEE'S OF THE THEIR VARIOUS LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS Remains commendable.
At least, it is an assurance that the Plights of the ONELGA YOUTHS will be further addressed before or come the next LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS AND 2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN THE STATE.

I challenge YOUTHS who have all it takes, the leadership charisma from EGBEMA_ONELGA RIVERS STATE to take the step of boldness by identifying with any political party of her choice and obtain her party tickets for election.

When I say YOUTHS, I mean: FOR COUNCILLORS (21_35)
STATE ASSEMBLY (25_45), and LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMANSHIP (21_45)

Any thing above this ages, we will not support such Candidates unless with a verifiable reasons to.

Our fathers please, stop taking away positions meant for us. We have decided to stage a Strong media war against any politician or elders above this ages that may come for the various positions mentioned in EGBEMA_ONELGA PARTICULARLY.
if you are above 45, wait for political appointments like COMMISSIONERS, SPECIAL ADVISERS, MINISTERS, AMBASSADORS APPOINTMENTS and OTHERS.
OR EVEN VIA FOR FEDERAL POSITIONS AND WE YOUR CHILDREN WILL SUPPORT YOU.
for now, the Youths must be allowed to prove themselves.

God bless our YOUTHS.

We stand for:

PEACE, YOUTHS EMPOWERMENT, GOOD GOVERNANCE,
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND
SOCIAL JUSTICE.
