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.
