How the Bini's in Edo Established ltsekiri Kingdom in Warri, in the 15th Century in Delta State

How the Bini's in Edo Established ltsekiri Kingdom in Warri, in the 15th Century in Delta State 

ln the 15th century, the early Itsekiris adopted a prince Ginuwa (also called "Iginuwa" in Bini Language) from the Kingdom of Benin as a monarch, and quickly coalesced into a kingdom under his rule. Traditionally fishermen and traders, the Itsekiri were among the first in the region to make contact with Portuguese traders. These interactions in the 16th century led the Itsekiri to become primarily Roman Catholic.

The Itsekiri monarchy has continued to the present day, with the coronation of Ogiame Ikenwoli on 12 December in 2015. The Itsekiri's historical capital is Ode-Itsekiri (also called "big warri" or "Ale iwerre"), though the monarch's main palace is in Warri town the largest city in the area and home to diverse other communities including the Urhobos, Ijaws, Isoko, and many other Nigerian and expatriate groups working in the oil and gas industry.

The Itsekiri, though a minority group within Nigeria, are considered to be a highly educated[citation needed] and affluent ethnic group[citation needed] with a very high rate of literacy and a rich cultural heritage. The Itsekiris have one of the oldest histories of western education in West Africa, and are noted for producing one of its earliest university graduates – the Olu of Warri Kingdom, Olu Atuwatse I, Dom Domingo a 17th-century graduate of Coimbra University in Portugal. Today, many Itsekiris can be found working in the professions[citation needed] particularly medicine, law and the academic professions and in business,[citation needed] trade[citation needed] and industry[citation needed] and were among the pioneers that led the development of the professions in Nigeria during the early-to-mid 20th century .[citation needed]

The Itsekiris traditionally lived in a society that was governed by a monarchy (the Olu) and council of chiefs who form the nobility or aristocracy. Itsekiri society itself was organised along the lines of an upper class made up of the royal family and the aristocracy – the 'Oloyes and Olareajas' these were mainly drawn from noble houses including the Royal Houses and the Houses of Olgbotsere (Prime Minister or king maker) and Iyatsere (defence minister). The middle class or Omajaja were free-born Itsekiris or burghers. As a result of the institution of slavery and the slave trade there was a third class 'Oton-Eru' or those descended from the slave class whose ancestors had come from elsewhere and settled in Itsekiriland as indentured or slave labourers. In modern-day Itsekiri society the slave class no longer exists as all are considered free-born.

Traditionally, Itsekiri men wear a long sleeved shirt called a Kemeje, tie a George wrapper around their waist and wear a hat with a feather stuck to it. The women wear a blouse and also tie a George wrapper around their waist. They wear colourful head gears known as Nes (scarf) or coral beads. Itsekiris are also famed for their traditional fishing skills, melodious songs, gracefully fluid traditional dances and colourful

 masquerades and boat regattas.

RELIGION: 

Before the introduction of Christianity in the 16th century,[9] like many other African groups, the Itsekiris largely followed a traditional form of religion known as Ebura-tsitse (based on ancestral worship) which has become embedded in modern-day traditional Itsekiri culture. Once the dominant form of western Christianity in Itsekiriland for centuries.

Featured Article: The Provocation Of Asupa And Pondi_ Ekanpou Enewaridideke 

Expectations have a life-span tied to humans. Expectations only die when humans die and migrate to  another space for existential life-continuation though existentially banned on planet earth. Expectations always stage multiple dances as are humans who vary in their numbers and kinds – white, black, etc. Against this backdrop expectations are often built around people of intimidating statures.

Because expectations have a life-span inextricably linked to humans, many expectations are built around Hon. Forteta Peter Asupa and Hon. Julius Pondi. Sometimes these expectations – both healthy and unhealthy – dance full circle like a full moon and sometimes dance questionably away from full circle. For every circle danced out it goes with different perceptions and interpretations from the people from whom the expectations always emanate and for whom these expectations dance differently in circles. Full or half in the cyclical dance of expectations, expectations from Hon. Asupa and Hon. Pondi always grow like verdant vegetation. One of such expectations from these two personalities has just got broken and sailed into a fisticuff in a rural backwater some kilometres away from Warri. 

Ideally, for Hon. Asupa and Hon. Pondi, one would have expected a rosy relation between the two because they are legislators from the same constituency in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State. The former is a legislator in the Delta State House of Assembly and the latter is a legislator in the House of Representatives. These different legislative positions should be the connecting rod and gum between the two but this is rather the originating base for their perpetually confrontational and antagonistic relation. At every turn they are antagonistic and confrontational towards each other and nobody knows when a thaw will creep into them and pour permanent water on their troubling, glaring, conflagration caused by endless political calculations and projections between the two. 

Appallingly, the perpetual clash between the two which hitherto existed at the ideological level recently shifted and went physical. It all happened in Akparemogbene in Burutu Local Government Area where the two legislators muddied themselves in a public engagement that will never be forgotten by the people even long after the world must have ended in phased generational dimension. The Akparemogbene people saw the mind-boggling drama acted out by the two legislators and reluctantly separated the two combatants in a quotable public language of reprobation heaped at both whose gauged level of remorse remains doubtful up till now despite the seeming opprobrium the drama carries. To the Akparemogbene people it was a titanic battle between Asupa and Pondi though a clear winner of the titanic clash is yet to emerge. 

Nobody knew Asupa and Pondi as great pugilists until the publicly staged drama in Akparemogbene. How the two legislators jogged, exercised, took quick short steps backward and forward and feinted to outwit each other was an unforgettable drama. Agile and pugilistic with accurate punches thrown at each other and sometimes skillfully parried by the other, Hon. Asupa and Hon. Pondi would knock out Mike Tyson in any boxing competition in a matter of seconds. Great boxers they are though they are accredited legislators with traceable marks in their legislative business!

Some dead years in the past Asupa and Pondi were appalled and agitated when they saw the development challenges and gashes suffered by Akparemogbene people. The buildings of Omotipere Primary School, Akparemogbene, had caved in long ago, cuckooed and rendezvoused by lizards and rabbits. For the pupils learning become endangered because they are cuckooed by reptiles of different kinds. So Hon. Pondi legislatively lubricated the path for a block of three classrooms   built by Ojidoe-linge Engineering Company Limited. Within the same period marked by measurable differences in months, Hon. Asupa legislatively facilitated the arrival of another block of three classrooms with an office annexe attached which was built by Eyarabia-Eve Enterprises with amazing competence. For both edifices consciously built to address the infrastructural problems of Omotimpere Primary School, Akparemogbene, it was clear great architects and engineers were engaged to do the jobs. For the two legislators they don’t want the two projects derisively hissed at by passers-by as sub-standard projects executed merely to bamboozle and captivate the fantasies of the people for the harvest of momentary commendation and so Ojidoe-linge Engineering Company  Limited and Eyarabia-Eve Enterprises have told an immortally striking  story in Akparemogbene in terms of the engineering and architectural designs and the very final aesthetically captivating and inviting 'finished product' as regards the two buildings in Omotimipere Primary School, Akparemogbene!

In the two projects in Akparemogbene legislatively lubricated by Hon. Asupa and Hon. Pondi, there was a traceable move to outdo the other in architectural and engineering designs. Both were conscious that they were at work in the public arena and so they deployed all their pugilistic skills and excellence to throw punches at each other to the captivation of the spectators. When the spectators saw that both Asupa and Pondi had exhausted all their pugilistic skills, the Akparemogbene people intervened as peacemakers and separated them at a time both legislators were gasping for breaths. By the time they were separated, Asupa and Pondi had developmentally immortalised their legislative performances in Akparemogbene through open pugilistic engagement of each other because individually they can both proudly tell the world they have transformed Omotimipere Primary School, Akparemogbene, in infrastructural capacitation and empowerment.

It is historically gratifying that Hon. Forteta Peter Asupa and Hon. Julius Pondi have become great developmental pugilists who know when to throw accurate punches at each other and create a new world of development and transformation for a people. For legislators like Asupa and Pondi who are skilled at telling their story of development for the people to listen to through constituency projects executed promptly according to specifications, they should be applauded endlessly. 

Without  the fear of being misunderstood and misquoted for referentiality, Asupa and Pondi have historically become quotable developmental pugilists steeped or deep-rooted in public dramaturgy directed specifically towards the advantageous placement of Akparemogbene people; and for pugilists like Asupa and Pondi, there is need for them to clash always using their pugilistic skills because there is no opprobrium in two legislators developmentally engaged in pugilistic exercise when the product of their pugilistic engagement is that of transformation for the people, particularly the Akparemogbene community – a community where Hon. Asupa and Hon. Pondi recently clashed and showcased their pugilistic skills in developmental communication to the thunderous applause and approbation of the people.

Kogi Govt Orders Investigation of Pastor Who Sells ‘Bulletproof’ Water to members

Kogi Govt Orders Investigation of Pastor Who Sells ‘Bulletproof’ Water to members 

Kogi______ The Chairman of Okene Local Government Area of Kogi State, Engr. Abdulrazaq Muhammad has ordered security agencies to carry out full investigation into the activities of a self-proclaimed man of God, Peter Michonza who sells what he called 'Bulletproof' water to his members in the State.

The presiding pastor of “New Jerusalem church” located within Ageva axis of Okene went viral on social media over allegations of running labour wards for pregnant women in his church and selling “bulletproof” water to the people, amongst other medically unacceptable practices which have reportedly led to the death of many.

Michonza and members of his church also held a protest rally in Okene, calling for the release of International Musician, Rkelly who was recently jailed over child pornography and rape allegations.

A press statement issued by Abdulmumin Abubakar, the Special Adviser to the Chairman on Media & Publicity, said the directive for investigation became necessary “after some of his alleged ungodly activities were published on social media by concerned members of the public.”

“The council chairman appreciates people for blowing the whistle and exposing the alleged atrocities of Mr Peter in the name of church activities, noting that details of the investigation will be made public in due course.” the statement added.

Okowa's Govt, Deltans are living in abject Poverty_ Ezekiel

Okowa's Govt, Deltans are living in abject Poverty_ Ezekiel 

....... As Ezekiel Kagbala writes Gov. Okowa to seek productive Economic policies 

Delta Governor, Senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa's administration has always claimed that   alleviating the suffering of the less-privileged in the state has been it's priority taking cognisance of the need for direct economic policies and other laudable programmes.

However, some stakeholders have called on the governor to take a critical look at the socio-economic condition of the state and ensure a veritable means for economic revolution.

A record of daily activities amongst Deltans or the 'common man'  in Delta State paints the picture of anguish, despair, and disappointment with 

uncountable Deltans especially those in coastal communities not finding life easy, as they struggle to survive with small scale traders not making sales as they used to as things has become messier for them.

Our Dear Governor's promise of  handing over an economically vibrant Delta State in 2023 is not unnoticeable as you created avenue to empower Deltans by putting food on their tables, because you feel it is truly very necessary as in today’s Nigeria.

Commendably, Okowa's appointees have food on their tables, contractors to the state government have food on their tables, friends and relatives of those in government have food on their tables, the politicians have food on their tables, and they could sit at luxury homes with inflow of cash within their circle and you expect them not to sing Okowa's praise to the highest heaven and do all sorts of political mobilizations.

The question is; what has our dear Governor done to ensure that he delivers governance that goes beyond putting food on the People's table? We tasked and urged our dear Governor to think in the direction of reviving the moribund industries within the shortest period as a lasting legacy for Deltans

Our advice to our dear  government is to think beyond throwing some money into Job creation office to carry out a stage-managed show in the name of skill acquisition or empowerment program that only serves as a means of getting something out of the system and unnecessary media hypes by wasting the state's money on a TV program; 'Smart Delta' even though Delta is not smart with Economic Development.

We urged our government to think of establishing production factories that could employ up to two thousand men and women in each region of the state. We plead and asked the state government to  stop wasting money on impotent, unproductive, and near moribund ministries and agencies of the State.  Ministries that should have a direct impact on the state's economy with no positive results. 

The individualistic approach to Job creation and empowerment has only ended up in poverty management because it is not a system that could run further when Dr. Okowa leaves office in 2023. 

  

Recall in 2018, Governor Okowa promised that the state government would intensify its investment drive to restore the glory of Warri as the commercial nerve center of the nation. 

Our Dear Governor, Deltans need to experience your positive impact as 2023 draws closer,imprint a lasting legacy in the hearts of Deltans that will linger on and the people will continuously sing your praise like that of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.

This is our cry and our plea as Deltans .

He said to feel happy and laugh is the prerogative choice strictly exercised by an individual, if not many people including himself would have larvished his own long ago and by now he will be displaying hard face without smile.

While making caricature of those who hate, envy and jealous their fellow brothers and sisters in the society, King Pereama made them to understand that how wish hatred and jealousy character was to be shared in limited numbers, them too would have exhausted their enemy of progress attitude by now.

Why King Charles III Bans African President From Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral

Why King Charles III Bans African President From Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral

Emmerson Mnangagwa, President of Zimbabwe, was denied permission to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II of England in a letter by King Charles III.

It was discovered that King Charles III, the late Queen’s son, disagreed with the African president’s request due to an alleged infringement of human rights in his nation.

Despite not being on the list of world leaders invited to the celebration at Buckingham Palace, Mnangagwa reportedly asked the king in a condolence letter to respect the Queen’s funeral.

King Charles, however, stated in a statement via the Senior Correspondence Officer’s deputy, Miss Jennie Vine, that the request from the president of Zimbabwe could not be granted.

The said statement read, “His Majesty King Charles III, has asked me to inform you that President Mnangagwa’s request cannot be granted as it would go against the restrictions, including those of travel that the United Kingdom has in place with regards to many of the Zimbabwean governmental leadership and those connected to them. There is also concern at the confirmed reports of non-adherence to respecting human rights occurring in Zimbabwe.

“As you stated in your additional letter, other world leaders, including those from Africa, have been invited and we note your concern that President Mnangagwa has not been invited and for good international relations you feel he should be, however, the restrictions still apply.”
