WHY HAS THE EGBEMA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (M.O.U) WITH NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED ( NAOC) NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED SINCE 1999?

(Egbema Massive Movement demands answers from Egbema Traditional & Opinion leader's)

In as much as we keep Blaming the Italian Oil Giants (NAOC) For not living to it's expected responsibilities by ensuring that Her host Communities Get a Fair treatment from her (NAOC), which should have been a benefit to us  for our sacrifices in giving away our land & fertile soils, natural endowment, streams, rivers, beaches, lakes and pounds, and ever shining atmosphere to the pollution caused as a result of the daily exploration and exploitation of the Egbema Resources by the Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited (NAOC).

The Egbema massive movement, as conscious youths desirous of the growth and development of our communities ask questions in what bothers the youths and the general public which if clearly answered or explained by those Involved or consigned may relief us of the Ignorance of continual Asking of the same questions daily.

We as a body humbly demand an answer/explaination from our Traditional Rulers (NDE EZE- ALI) and the Egbema Political and Opinion Leader's to why the EGBEMA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (M.O.U) WITH NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED (NAOC) has not been implemented and the possible actions taken over the past 18 years by the entire leadership of EGBEMA to addressing the Intentional plot by our Host Firm (NAOC) to deny us of our entitlements.

"Our entitlements with AGIP mustn't be the annual provisions of (7-8) cow's, and just few bags of rice to each of the resourceful Egbema Communities." while our youths remain unemployed and our parents continue to live in such hazardous environment.

We need our EGBEMA MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (M.O.U) WITH AGIP implemented.

God bless Egbema Leaders.
God bless our Youths.

OMAEGBU, OBIYE, NWOKOCHA, EKPERI & OGBOM BATTLES FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE AHOADA-WEST/ONELGA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY RIVERS STATE

AHOADA-WEST/OGBA/EGBEMA/NDONI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY. EGBEMA KINGDOM DEMANDS POSITION.

( Omaegbu, Obiye, Nwokocha, Ekperi and Ogbom Battles for house of Representative).

The Silent nature of a lion does not mean it is dead nor it has lost it's Lionel Powers.

The Good people of EGBEMA Ethnic Nationality in OGBA/EGBEMA/NDONI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS OF RIVERS STATE has risen with a serious demand to all Political parties with a solid foundation in EGBEMA and most especially, within the AHOADA-WEST/ONELGA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY to Allow her feed their respective political parties with the Candidates for the position of the FEDERAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE DUE ( ONELGA & AWELGA 2019).

Considering the sorry state of our people ( EGBEMA KINGDOM) with little or no State and Federal Government presences and with the continual  Non inclusiveness of our son's and daughters of the Oil rich and resourceful people of EGBEMA in the leadership and Governance of the day in her own Federal constituency, It will not be a sin if the Leadership of the various political parties in the State zone her position for the AWELGA & ONELGA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY to the People of EGBEMA in ONELGA as it has been agreed by the two local government in the Federal Constituency for an (8 years) representation each.

BELOW IS THE COMPREHENSIVE LISTS OF OUR ONELGA REPRESENTATIVES AT THE GREEN HOUSE.

*  HON. VICTOR MAZI

*  SEN. (HON). WILSON   ASINOBI AKE - (8years Rep. 8years Senate)

*   HON. PRINCE
UCHECHUKWU NNAM-OBI ( Incumbent).

From the list above, it is now clear that none EGBEMA person has ever represented us when the position is due ONELGA  to produce the candidate for the House of Representative.

I was made to understand that ONELGA  meaning OGBA- EGBEMA- NDONI was formed by the amalgamation of the OGBA/EGBEMA and NDONI Three respective kingdom with totally different Mother tongue, cultural practices and Ancestral believes and has a Sharing Formula otherwise known as the 6 - Geopolitical Zones And a two (2) State constituency I &II in the same Local government so said the leadership of the day.

it may still interest the world to know that in terms of huge political benefit this acclaimed Sharing formulas/Geopolitical zones are not followed neither is the two (2) Constituency delineation followed.

All the Representatives from ONELGA at the house of Representatives are from same clan OGBA and same Constituency I (one). in the Same local government.

The demand of the EGBEMA people is timely and should be supported by any political/ opinion leader of ONELGA who truly believes in the continuity of ONELGA.

For the denial of doubt of we been marginalized and the continual projection of one ONELGA, Then the people of EGBEMA kingdom in ONELGA should be allowed to produce the next HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER for the AWELGA & ONELGA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY come 2019.
Or are we no longer one ONELGA?
If yes, why can't an EGBEMA man represent us at the green Chambers of the National Assembly?

However, is not enough to Clamour for the position,
I want to let the Entire Federal Constituency know that all the Aspirant's from EGBEMA KINGDOM are super qualified and have been  tested and proven to have been this supported now projected by their people.

With just this little analysis of current elective positions due us as a local government you will agree with me that EGBEMA KINGDOM is not in the group Picture of the modern politics of the day.

I totally believe in the continuity of ONELGA but not with the Calculated plot to continually relegate my people to the background in the scheme of things in our own local government.

The truth be told, EGBEMA people deserves the position for house of Representative.
If getting a sound and vibrant candidate is the problem, then EGBEMA KINGDOM has the solution to our cries.

Let's all rally round for a candidate that has the experience of leadership, has the heart of helping and giving, has the vision of his people, a good listener and a Decisive fellow.

This and more qualities of a good leader can be found in all the products of EGBEMA for the position of AWELGA & ONELGA FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY.

ONELGA: EGBEMA YOUTHS ALLEGED 'marginalization' ON COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS

Egbema Youths Allege 'Marginalization' On Council Appointments

ONELGA: Egbema Youths Allege 'Marginalization' On Council Appointments

Thousands of youths in Egbema communities of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local government Area have cried out over what they perceived as marginalization of the people of the area by governments at all levels.

The youths, under the aegis of Egbema Massive Movement, during the weekend took to the streets of Egbema on what they called "Egbema Street to Street Awareness" rally to press home their demand.

While fielding questions from newsmen, leader of the group, Comrade Kelly Iweka Ernest alleged it has become necessary to make clear to the public on certain issues that calls for urgent attention as it affects the well being of the people of the area.

The group condemned what they called one sided political appointment by the Executive Chairman of ONELGA, Amb. Victor Ifeanyi Odili, describing it as unfortunate. He called on the Council boss to revert the trend for the sake of justice.

He also called on the Executive Governor of Rivers State, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike to fulfill his electioneering promise to Egbema people.

His words: "We condemn the one -sided political appointment made by the ONELGA Council Chairman. ONELGA is made up of three kingdoms, the Ogba, Egbemas and the Ndonis. It's quite unfortunate that the LG Chairman came from Ndoni, his Deputy came from Ogba, the executive angle that should have come to us as Egbema people, the Secretary to the Council was also given to the Ogba people”.

"The Chief of Staff went to the Ogba people, Leader of the Legislative Assembly in the Council was still given to the Ogba people whereas we claimed to be one ONELGA. This is a great injustice. So we call on the attention of the LG Chairman to immediately redirect his attention to redress this because the LGA cannot be complete without the Egbema people ", he said.

Some placards carried by the youths bore the inscriptions: “Egbema people deserves managerial position in Agip”, “Agip tactically retires our people, we need replacement”, “Wike remember our abandoned Okwuzi-Egbema Gen hospital” and “Elevate our traditional stools to first class and second class in the state”.

THE PLIGHT OF THE ONELGNS ( Why we demand the Governors attention)

THE PLIGHT OF THE ONELGANS.

( WHY WE DEMAND THE GOVERNORS ATTENTION)

It is said that nothing good comes easy.

Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local Government Area of River State is unarguably, one of the resources most endowed local government in Rivers state and Nigeria at large.

The Local government ONELGA has over 507 Oil wells and Houses the Explosive installation's of Various multi billion Dollars International Oil  firms in the likes of:
NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED and TOTAL & ELF with Subsidiaries over 200 Oil and Construction Firms therein.

The Local Government ONELGA, has Produced Prominent son's that have served  Nigeria as a country and River state as  Politician's and in various capacities.
Most notably we're,

* SIR, (DR) PETER ODILI- Former Governor of Rivers state for (8 years and one time Presidential Aspirant)
* SEN. FRANCIS ELLAH
* SEN. IFEANYI ODILI ( ONWA OF NDONI)
* HON. VICTOR MAZI ( FMR: MINISTER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC)
* SEN. WILSON ASINOBI AKE -( 8 YEARS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE, & 8 YEARS AS A SENATOR)
*  SIR CHRIS OBOR ( FMR: NDDC CHAIRMAN,)
* LATE CHIEF G.U. AKE ( POLITICAL ORACLE OF RIVERS STATE)
* PROF. CLAUDE AKE
* DR. J.C IMEGI ( MHR)
* HON. BRO. FELIX AMEACHI OBUAH
( GO ROUND)

and the host of others.

Surprising, The Local government ONELGA, still begs for Development amidst her Overflowing Resources sufficient enough to Transform and develop The entire Region.

Politically, ONELGA has always been Represented in Every Political settings in the State Since the Inception of the Local Government. But Funny, how the region still remain underdeveloped with little or no Government Presence.

The responsibilities of Every Visionary Government is to Provide Security and protect It's Citizens. Providing for the people with  adequate  Social Amenities like:
* GOOD ROAD NETWORK
* PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
* EDUCATION
* INDUSTRIES

Will in turn, Bring about Employment opportunities to the masses and Create an enabling environment for Good Governance.

The Truth is, Our Earliest Political and Opinion leaders has Failed us.

ONELGA as a local government with her Endowed nature should be competing with Port Harcourt Local government the River State Capital in terms of Development and Advancement in all sphere's of life.

Honestly, The Backwardness of ONELGA in terms of development is the Fault of the Earliest and Current Political Bulldozers. (Bigwigs) who only thinks of themselves and their immediate Families.

Politics was supposed to be a tool to unite us and Drive us Closer to the Highest Political Class, but Sadly. Politics has been defined in the negative in ONELGA.
Brothers now turn life time enemies, friends now become Opponent's, our communities now Become a political Tool to Politicians all because of differences in our Political believes.

The following are some of the intimidating plights of the ONELGA people.

* THE ABANDONED OMOKU- EGBEMA DUAL CARRIAGEWAY PROJECT
* THE DELAY IN THE COMPLETION OF THE OMOKU ULTRA MODERN ZONAL HOSPITAL. ( this is very unfortunate as all Hospitals flagged off the same time with ours has been commissioned to function)
* THE NON ELEVATION/ CLASSIFICATION OF THE EGBEMA TRADITIONAL STOOLS TO (1st, 2nd & 3rd classes) IN THE STATE.
* THE NON GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE ON THE (EBOCHA OIL CENTER) NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY (2015 EQUIPMENT FAILURE)  EXPLOSION THAT AFFECTED THE PEOPLE OF EGBEMA (16 VILLAGES) this is great injustice as the same cannot happen in OGONI, IKWERE OR OBIOAKPOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT and the River state Government will not act and immediately compile the Multi Billion dollars Oil Firm to pay the Environmental Damage suits against her by the Host Communities. The effects of the Hazardous explosion still lives.

* THE DELAY IN THE FULFILMENT OF THE FOLLOWING PROMISES:
FLAGG OF AND CONSTRUCTION OF: KIRIGANI/ALIUGWU/IDU OBOSI ROAD

* THE 12KM EGBEMA INTERNAL ROADS

* THE DELAY IN THE INVESTMENT OF THE 30 BILLION NAIRA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OIL HOST COMMUNITIES OF EGBEMA ( 14th Feb. 2015).

* THE DELAY IN COMPILING THE MULTI NATIONALS IN ONELGA ( NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED & TOTAL EL& F TO IMMEDIATELY SUMMIT ALL SUBSIDIARIES FIRMS UNDER HER AND BEGIN THE EMPLOYMENT OF ONELGA YOUTHS AS CHAMPIONED BY THE ONELGA OIL HOST COMMUNITIES AND STAKEHOLDERS FORUM AND AGREED  BY THE RIVER STATE GOVERNMENT.

* APART FROM PROJECTS SITED BY THE OIL COMPANIES AS PART OF OUR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ( M.O.U)  WITH THEM AS HOST COMMUNITIES, NO OTHER VISIBLE GOVERNMENT PROJECTS CAN BE FOUND IN THE ENTIRE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

ONELGA political and Opinion Leaders should immediately Change her pattern of politics which have never benefited us anything rather than create more divides amongst us.

I humbly appeal to all the Political Leaders of ONELGA in their individual Political Platforms to Shun the politics of hate, Segregation and Individual Benefits and become more of a classical politician whose only motive of becoming a politician is to Transform the lives of it's people positively.

2019 Election processes has already began and  I will advise our ONELGA youths to become reasonable in her choice of candidate for Elective positions.

Politics is never a DO-NOR-DIE affair.
All The Political Aspirant's in ONELGA should understand this fact.

All we want as gain in politics is DEVELOPMENT AND EMPOWERMENT.
So I totally discourage the use of violence and Killings to win election.
ONELGA has become peaceful and we must sustain the Relative Peace we Enjoy today.

No individual Ambition Should Override The Collective Interest of the Entire ONELGA.

My name is Comr. I.E. KELLY RUFUS,
( LEADER, EGBEMA MASSIVE MOVEMENT)

I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMON SENSE.

LONG LIVE ONELGA.
