Na wa!

Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, says he has no regret proscribing the outlawed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in Rivers State due to his belief in the unity of Nigeria.

He said, Nigerians must at all times rise to protect and defend the interest of the country, and not allow parochial, sentimental politics to destroy the country.

The governor stated this when a delegation of Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) paid a solidarity visit to the Government House, Port Harcourt , to commend him for his untiring efforts and dedication to protect the interest of ethnic groups living in Rivers State.

The governor said the EndSARS protest was peaceful in the state until IPOB hijacked it, and committed arson by killing 6 Army officers, 4 Police officers, burnt police stations and courts.

According to him, he cannot seat as governor and watch such lawless acts to be perpetrated by a people that has been proscribed by the federal government to cause ethnic war.

“Without any apology, I am a true Nigerian. I believe that things must be done properly in a way that every component part of this country will be satisfied.”

Governor Wike, reiterated that he has never been against any particular ethnic group living in the State, including every law abiding Igbos. He however, maintained that as a governor he cannot tolerate a situation where some misguided persons under the guise of IPOB would unleash attack innocent Nigerians in Rivers State.

He explained that if the State Security Council was not proactive to impose curfew in the entire Oyigbo Local Government Area, the situation would have degenerated to war between Igbo and Hausa community residing in the area. According to him, the decision forestalled ethnic reprisal attacks that would have led to total breakdown of law and order in Oyigbo local government area and parts of Diobu axis of the State capital.

Governor Wike, said all Nigerians must stand against injustice at all times no matter who is involved and be determined to work for the interest of the country. He further asserted that he is a true Nigerian and will continue to work for its indivisibility.

CNG spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said they were in the State to express their profound gratitude to the Governor for his leadership, sacrifice, statesmanship, and unwavering commitment deployed in protecting Northern communities from the violence and violation of their rights and dignity during the mayhem in Oyigbo.

“Your concerned promptness in redeeming the solemn pledge of N200 million to the families of security personnel affected negatively by the flip side of the protests is certainly reassuring. We reasonably believe that if the federal authorities were to emulate the wisdom of offering such incentive to our troops on the front line, it would heighten their morale which is a present very low.

The CNG craved the Governor’s indulgence as the caring and compassionate leader, to extend the same magnanimity to the unfortunate victims of the ugly side of the protests from Northern Nigeria to enable them start over.

“Similarly, we are impressed by your level of rare courage and uncompromising stance in the repudiation of the activities of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and it’s fugitive leader Nnamdi Kanu in your state. this without doubt, is a commendable feat, because if leaders today need to hear the truth, they should be told that most of them have lost the energy and some of the courage to take responsibility in the interest of national sovereignty , national security, national peace and constitutionalism.”

The delegation was led by the chairman board of trust of CNG, Nastura .A. Sheriff.

RIVERS STATE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

PRESS RELEASE

The attention of the Rivers State Ministry of Education has been drawn to a False and Malicious allegation published in the Port Harcourt Telegraph newspaper, claiming that the results of students who wrote the last WAEC examination (WASSCE) in public schools in Rivers State have been withheld because the State Government has not met it's financial obligations for the students.

This is junk journalism, coming from the pit of hell, published by elements bent on painting the Government of Rivers State and the Ministry of Education black.

For the avoidance of doubts:

1. The Government of Rivers State long ago paid the WAEC examination fees for ALL students in the public schools in the State, as promised. And this was well before the examination started. WAEC will confirm this.

2. The WAEC has denied mass withholding of results of students in public schools in Rivers State. Inquiries made to WAEC shows that results have been published, including results of students in public schools in Rivers State.

3. There is no such thing as mass withholding of results of students who wrote the last WAEC examination in public schools in the State for failure of Rivers State Government to meet its financial obligations. In fact, candidates who wrote the last WAEC examination in public schools in the State are accessing their results, contrary to the false publication. Inquiries made to WAEC shows that network problem is the reason why some candidates nationwide may not have been able to access their results.

4. In fact, the WAEC will not allow any candidate to write it's examinations without registration which involves payment of registration fee. The authors of the publication just betrayed their stark ignorance on WAEC procedures. Pitiable.

5. The general public, parents and guardians and candidates are hereby advised to ignore the publication, as it is false and malicious; a FAKE NEWS. The authors of the publication, who are members of an opposition political party in the State, will have their day in court so others like them will learn not to spread FAKE NEWS.

Signed:

Prof Kaniye Ebeku
Honourable Commissioner for Education, Rivers State

GOVERNOR WIKE DONATES N200MILLION TO FAMILIES OF 10 SECURITY AGENTS KILLED BY IPOB

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has redeemed his pledge of N20 Million to each family of the ten security personnel killed by members of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) in Oyigbo Local Government.

Governor Wike had on Wednesday last week during a condolence visit to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, announced the donation of N20MILLION to each family of the four policemen and six Army killed by IPOB members in Oyigbo.

The cheques were presented to the bereaved widows at the State Police Command and 6 Division, Nigerian Army, in Port Harcourt, respectively on Tuesday.

Governor Wike said the gesture is in fulfilment of his earlier promise to alleviate the plight of the widows and their children.

Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Tammy Wennike Danagogo, the governor described the murder of the security personnel by IPOB members as unacceptable and should be condemned by every right-thinking Nigerian.

Governor Wike told the Commissioner of Police that Government will not tolerate any terrorist group like IPOB in the state or allow them to kill any innocent citizen, particularly policemen and soldiers who are defending and protecting citizens of the state.

“As a Governor who matches his words with action, he has sent us to come and redeem that promise and to present the cheques of 20 Million each to the widows of the four police officers killed by IPOB."

Governor Wike assured the State Commissioner of Police that the State will always stand with the police to fight crime.

In his response, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mukan, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu thanked Governor Wike for fulfilling his promise.

He said the police have recovered some arms and arrested some persons who have made confessional statements. According to him, 22 persons have been charged to court.

Similarly, at the 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, Governor Wike commiserated with the Nigerian Army, the widows and families of the 6 soldiers killed by IPOB.

He said Rivers State Government will ensure that the criminal elements who killed the soldiers and cart away their arms and ammunition are arrested and prosecuted.

“The Governor made a pronouncement that he will give a token sum of 20 Million to each of the widows of the slain soldiers. So, we are here to fulfil that promise to give cheques to the widows so that they can be able to survive in the absence of their breadwinners” he said

In his remarks, the General Officer Commanding 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Orlu Irefin expressed the gratitude on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Yusuf Buratai and the entire Nigerian Army to the Rivers State Governor for the kind gesture to the widows of the slain soldiers.

He dispelled fake news in social media on the activities of the Army in Oyigbo, emphasizing that action of the Army in the area is within the ambit of the law and rules of engagement

Danagogo was accompanied by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim and Commissioner for Social Welfare, Mrs. Inime Aguma.

RIVERS SECURITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW SITUATION IN OYIGBO

The Rivers State security council is to meet and review the situation in Oyigbo Local Government Area after members of proscribed Indigenous Peoples Organisations of Biafra (IPOB) killed ten security agencies and burnt court buildings.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike who disclosed this, has also reinstated the commitment of his administration to protect life and property of everybody in the state.

Governor Wike stated this when he met leaders of Igbos, Hausas, Yoruba and other ethnic nationalities living in the state at Government House, Port Harcourt on Monday.

The governor dismissed insinuation that he ordered soldiers to kill Igbos in Oyigbo Local Government Area amidst the curfew imposed by the Security Council.

"It is not correct that soldiers are going from house to house to kill. When the IPOB killed the Army officers, they took their guns. It is normal for them to recover those guns. In any case, there are consequences when soldiers are killed. Maybe they are retaliating in order to rebuild the moral of other soldiers. How can I now have such powers to order soldiers on any operation?

"Now, you carry propaganda that Wike is killing Igbos. They live everywhere in the state. So, am I also killing them elsewhere? No tribe gave us the kind of support Igbos gave to me, but that does not mean we should allow IPOB to destroy the state.”

He explained that Security Council was compelled to impose curfew in Oyigbo to prevent further loss of life and property. According to him, there is no way he will order any offensive action against Oyigbo, which is where the chairman of Peoples Democratic Party in the state hails from.

The Governor declared that it will be absurd for IPOB to assume the role of speaking for the Igbos when there are credible and outstanding people who can speak for them. To this end, he warned against allowing IPOB to continue misrepresenting the Igbos ethnic nationality.

“Let IPOB not give Igbos bad name. Any people that allow a criminal to speak for them, that tribe is finished," he stated.

He charged residents of the State appalled by the nefarious activities of IPOB, to resist the group and whatever it stands for.

Explaining why curfew was imposed in the Ikokwu area of Port Harcourt, the Governor said the State security council took the decision following intelligence report that Ikokwu host to a lot of IPOB cells in the State capital.

He described the recent clash between Hausas and Igbos following IPOB instigated attacks against the former as unfortunate.

The Governor said while government is creating conducive environment that will promote business, social and cultural life of residents, they must also learn to live together without causing trouble.

"Any decision we take is for the good of everybody. It is not against any tribe. We have lived peacefully with people from other tribes. So stop fighting yourselves and creating the impression that there is war here. Don't also make disagreements between business partners appear as tribal war. Allow them to settle the matter as businessmen.

"There is need for all of us to live in peace. From today, I don't want to hear Igbo fighting Hausa. If there is any trouble, there is no need to take laws into your hands. Report the matter to us and we will address it, " he said.

Governor Wike announced the plan of government to rebuild the Slaughter-Oginigba Market in Trans-Amadi industrial layout in Port Harcourt and hand it over to competent people to manage.

He further enjoined cattle rustlers who are breeding cows to stop using them to destroy the farmland of others.

Governor Wike warned operators of illegal motor parks, street and rail line traders in the state to desist or be ready to face the wrath of government.

He also called on the Federal Government to give consideration to lessons learnt from the EndSARS protest.

"What has happened is a lesson for Nigeria. Don't under rate the youths. It was a protest by intelligent and professional youths who have suffered enough.

"It is a signal and the youths as graduates are getting restless. Federal Government should ask, how do we use this opportunity to reduce unemployment. My executive council has taken action already to employ 5000 youths," he added.

Okoroawusa:
Is this place Obigbo or Oyigbo?

U can call it the both

Very painful, take heart man! This oyigbo crisis is getting out of hand. Wike what are you doing?, No matter what the oyigbo pple did to u, this treatment shouldn't be melted on them and he calls himself Chief security officer of the state. A true leader must have the people at heart. Day in day out, since this massacre they cry for help and nobody is there to help. I heard a lady this morning on Nigeriainfo ph how she has not eaten since morning I feel like crying. She has to start cutting plantain that is not yet matured. I feel for this people!

This is just the beginning. When they were busy chasing shadows paying senators millions they never knew. It's also in record that our Nigeria senators are the highest paid than our conterpart ghana, kenya etc and all over the world.#reduce senators pay

DamZik:
I have a friend in Fire Service. It has not been easy. Buhari should please do something. Senators cannot be receiving #30M monthly for doing nothing other than sleeping and frivolity why those who goes to work everyday earn nothing. It's not fair.

My brother is very unfair just one senator going home with millions of naira a month while pple working day and night can't boast of any. The senators pay is enough to build mighty industries in this countries.

I watched the video after AY gave his speech, a lady was talking, telling them to sit on the floor while others were running away and the background of that video i heard gunshots.

I saw the video yesterday but didn't watched it reason becos James Nwafor doesn't have white hair

One of the problems in Nigeria is that political leaders can never feel remorseful of their actions. See this one blaming Churches and mosque, if they don't speak problem if they speak problem. Femi or whatever u call urself "go and sit down".

Me too

AkupeMBANO:
peace mass is the worst transport company is Nigeria. there is no transport company peace mass is better off than. I used to be a regular customer with them at their Orji owerri park. but i discovered this company has the worst customer service officers (compared to other companies), bad mouthed managers, irresponsible drivers to the core. I conspicuously announced to my family members and who ever cared to listen to avoid them. they are heavily fvcked. i repeat, heavily fvcked!!!!

They are even better compared to TGM company. The manager self is something else

Emzycool:

It is so sad to hear that, One of Hillsong Worship Leader, Marty Sampson denounces his Faith as Christian. He made this known publicly on his Instagram post that was deleted sometimes ago.

According to Sampson, “I m genuinely losing my faith, and he believes that Christianity is just another religion”.

Sampson has dedicated his time in writing songs for Hillsong Worship, Hillsong United, Delirious and Young & Free, revealed this on a now-deleted post on Insta stories, explaining how he is loosing his faith.

Ken Ham took to his twitter channel and pen down the exact words written by Sampson.

See his tweet: >> https://mychristiangist.com/2019/08/13/hillsong-worship-leader-denounces-his-faith-as-christian-says-im-genuinely-losing-my-faith/

He denied the rumour

I was an ex Oyo corper, is nothing compare to ogbomosho indigenes.

Charleys:
I can remember last year December the stipends was paid on the 24th of December. Considering that the whole of that week was holidays. I can remember my friend jumping because he had been looking for money to enjoy Christmas but he had none.

So then came sallah, they did not pay, but I said nothing because I thought maybe it was because it was a lesser sallah.

Now this Sallah has come and Npower has not paid,and today is the 10th.

The people in Npower have been there and are subtly punishing Muslims with their payments.

I can not believe they could do this until I see it with my eyes. My request is that they should be more Muslims posted to the position of top Npower officials so that our payments can be given to the Beneficiaries on time.

The Npower situation room has failed again with jts bias and should be cleaned to make way for capable people.

Everyone should be treated fairly for we are all one.

Eid-el Kabir.

I don't just understand this country. So u think until ur brother is being given a top position in the scheme that's when they will pay right? And u think is not favouring the Muslim. Are the Christian not also affected too? Na wa!

Rivers state? Very deadly and unsafe state

It's a hotbed for cultism, gangsterism, kidnappings, banditry, election violence (The highest during any election)

Even their indigenes are stone hearted...If you've ever dated a Rivers girl before, you'll get the drift. Their guys? Another story...

Let's not even go far, Wike, Amaechi, Patience Jonathan (clues)

Sad for the young man...He'll be fine

Pls how did u know it was an indigene that masterminded the kidnap of his Mom?Sometimes I don't know how people reason, some indigene might be included, likewise some tribe too. What u just say now is a fallacy of generalization.
