...Says Action Is Barbaric, Selfish That Is Capable To Cause Anarchy In Ngbilebiri-Mein Kingdom
Francis Tayor
This is an important update for the benefit of the general public and all sons and daughters of Ngbilebiri-Mein Kingdom, in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, to the unfoldings of the kingship saga in the Ngbilebiri kingdom.
It will recalled that sometime on the 8th of July 2019, our media organization aired a story from some group of persons (names withheld), in respect of the above caption without adequate facts finding to hear from both parties involved in the story.
In the course of our investigation, the organization discovered that, the said group called, Concerned Citizens of Ngbilebiri Kingdom, Ayakoromo (CCNKA) is a faceless group with fake imagery names from the pit of hell which was a deliberate attempt to soil the highly priced Chiefs and personalities in Ngbilebiri kingdom.
Further revelation/facts gathered by our reporter Francis Tayor through Interview obtained from Ijaw national leader,Pa E.K.Clark, security agencies, some Chiefs (names withheld) and some Bigborogha family members shows that the said group are faceless and imagery names from neither Ayakoromo Community nor it's villages and harmlets , hence they are sponsored propagandists of the same late Pere Bigborogha 11 children and Bigborogha Royal Family members amongst other collaborators to weep up emotions, sentiments and incite the good people of Ayakoromo against those chiefs mentioned.
At this point, the management of NDM News Xclusive want to authoritatively tell the good people of Ngbilebiri Kingdom and the general public at large to ignore the frivolity and deliberate move by the said fictious CCNKA to instigate a callous conflict in the kingdom.
The Ngbilebiri Kingdom is synonymous with peace, and the ancestral precepts guiding the existence and leadership of the kingdom, anything fall short wouldn't be accepted by the regent and the chiefs-in-council occasioned by death or incapability of the king due to sickness or otherwise.
To press further, Ngbilebiri Kingdom is known for its rotational traditional policy, and having these allegations as to Chief Dr.E.K.Clark and other chiefs influencing descripancy between the royal house and the kingdom is purely borne out of sheer ignorance.
The bereaved royal family has forgotten so soon that the chiefs they are throwing stones at by blackmailing their hard-earned repute have been supportive with plans to bury the late king peacefully.
It's now paramount to remind the royal family as occasioned by the complaints of neglecting the king that many infrastructures and facilities within the palace which the children now claim responsibility were as a result of collective efforts of all the chiefs-in-council. Numbering among these projects includes:
1) Fencing and Interlocking of the palace premises (NDDC).
2) Borehole in the palace (Chief Victor Dabor-Fuludu).
3) The Palace Generator ( DESOPADEC) but missing.
In response to the late Pere children comments saying, " our own chiefs that are used to oil the evil plots of chief E K Clark who has consistently and deliberately ridiculed, humiliated, oppressed and maltreated our dear king". The public should be rightly informed that, there was no time the late king was denied of his monthly stipend. The king enjoyed all financial benefits due him with no hindrance through out his 36 years of reign. Hence, the allegations that the chiefs neglected him was untrue and a big fallacy.
It is crystal clear that one family cannot fight a whole kingdom and its chiefs. The moves and insults rained on Pa E.K. Clark and other chiefs is a calculated plan to disrupt the peaceful traditional procedure to carry out a befitting burial ceremony for the late king who served the kingdom for good 36 years and consequently the crowning of a new king who would pilot the traditional governance of the kingdom.
From all indications, the bereaved family is insighting serious controversy by taking laws into their hands to decide the fate of the kingdom which is never done anywhere in the Nigerian society. That doesn't exclude the fact that the family constitutes part of the decisions taken.
The public also needs to know how threatening this issue has become, even to threat of life as one Mr.David Emevor, who in illegal possession of fire arm came shooting at a meeting sporadically. The matter since then was taken to the police headquarters in Asaba, and it's under investigation. Those faces behind the scene, and instigating continuous misunderstanding between the royal family and the kingdom will be enroped as well.
It was very unfortunate that the Bigborogha royal family and the late Pere children are brandishing the first petition of threat to life and theft written and signed by Kiagbodo Community Chairman, Assistant Secretary and Chief.Ebikeme Clark as false allegation. Also, the second petition written on behalf of Ngbilebiri Kingdom Traditional Council of Chiefs by Dr. E.K.Clark on the stolen Paraphernalia is a false allegation?
If so, some questions begging for answers from late Pere children and the Bigborogha royal family are ; Is it not true that Artifacts/ Paraphernalia Original Crown, Multiple Beads, Original Staff of Office,
Brakon,Golden Pot etc are missing from the Traditional Strongroom that was under lock and key ?
The missing "Crown and Royal paraphernalia" in the Palace is not fictitious. Recovering the bunch of keys to the strong room of the King's bedroom where the above items were kept from so called Prince Christopher Perekeme was also fictitious? The missing Generator found in the possession of Mrs Beauty Ughabojor (Nee Perekeme) was also a figment of wild imagination by the two Chiefs?
Is it not true that the Kidnap suspect Mr.David Emevor went to Ngbile playground to fire gun shots which gun was recovered by the Army stationed at a checkpoint in Kiagbodo?
The children's refusal to cooperate and attend Kingdom meetings after due invitation is a lie? Can those who now claim to be members from the Bigborogha Royal family deny ever entering meeting with a high-powered delegation of Chiefs at Ayakoromo Town to broker Peace and arrange for the burial? How many times did the Bigborogha Royal Family celebrated the birthday anniversary or coronation activities with the King when he was alive and reigned for 36 years before his demise.
Is it naturally proper for the Children of late Pere and few disgruntled and very inactive members of the Royal Family to wrongly accuse the two Chiefs and Chief (Dr.) E.K.Clark of what they did not do? Accusing them falsely will very soon invoke the wrath of the gods and our ancestors. The truth will soon emerge.Those who know the antics and evil manipulations of Pere children and are pretending will also receive their reward traditionally.Our ancestors are not sleeping. Are the advocates of these children forgotten that the drama created by Mr. David Emevor, the alleged "Kidnapper" was actively witnessed by the gallant soldiers on duty at the University gate in Kiagbodo ? They are readily available to testify before law enforcement agencies. We shall see in due course if all the above points are all fictitious allegations fabricated by the two chiefs from Ayakoromo Town.
No matter the traditional circumstances prevailing, using saucy and despicable remarks on Chief (senator/Dr.) E.K.Clark,CON,OFR a man of grand father status and well known by all and sundry is not only an abomination but a deep disrespect for age and status. The same man you claimed to have suffered and humiliated your father (the Pere) came calling during the condolence visit, you didn't drive him out of the Palace. Rather, you people accepted the money and drinks presented at the occasion with his entourage with all joy.The same thing repeated itself when the son, Chief A.E.Clark, as Chairman of Burutu LGA visited. Why are you people drinking the pepper soup prepared with the fish you hate? Other things the man has pampered the Royal Family with in the past will be a story for another day. What offense did him and the two Ayakoromo chiefs including the Regent that they should be crucified ?
The old man in conjunction with Chiefs in Council used his rare connections to inform the general public of the demise of our King and to ensure a befitting burial is given to the Monarch.Is that the crime the Chiefs in Council have committed against the children and the Royal Family ?
What is actually the problem of the children? Even those who are clandestinely supporting the children and the ignorant Royal Family members in Kiagbodo, Ayakoromo and diaspora are as confused as the public. The children should know that the delaying the traditional process is not denial. The children should quickly have a rethink and positively use their scarce and hard earned monies to lucrative ventures that will economically promote the family of the late King. There is no need to dissipate the available energy in the wrong direction all in the name of fighting justice with a sense of false pride. The earlier the children and the Royal Family realize their rebellious motives and actions the better.
The several fruitless attempts by children and the Bigborogha Royal Family to drag or dangerously blackmail the Council of Chiefs in particular the two Ayakoromo Town Chiefs is to say the least very unfortunate.Mudslinging the names of innocent persons will do no one good. The arrogant and criminal display by the children of late Pere at meeting venues is no a secret. They have unsuccessfully attempted to violently disrupt well organized meetings by fighting and intimidating people with rented social miscreants. These misbehaviours were candidly witnessed by the law enforcement agencies present. They believe in having their way against the established traditional order of doing things.Are the above actions of the children also the handiwork of the two Chiefs?
In conclusion, the Ngbilebiri-Mein Kingdom and the general public should note that the severally referred Chiefs, Chief.James Egberibo, (CNA,FIAN) the Olotu and Chief (Hon.) Yerin Ekpedibo Yerin (FCIN, NES) the Boloukere-Owei are chiefs of Ngbilebiri Kingdom, and are duly performing traditional duties to protect the general interest and not one particular chief or person in the kingdom.
Until the logical conclusion of investigations to the allegations and beyond, the lives, properties, immediate families and all their interest are at the risk of the Pere Bigborogha 11 children and Bigborogha family. The Ayakoromo Community, Ngbilebiri Kingdom, the general public and the security agencies should take note.
The series of recalcitrant and uncompromising posturing that probably led to the invitation of the law enforcement agencies at Asaba since the leadership of the various Autonomous Communities by Ommission or Commission played ostrich to the imbroglio.
The Council of Chiefs as law abiding citizens took the right step by involving the police in this matter. Let both sides mellow down and allow absolute Peace to reign again in Ngbilebiri-Mein Kingdom.
