Deltans Expresses Disappointment Over Distribution Pattern Of COVID-19 Palliatives, As Mulade Urges Gov. Okowa To Direct DESOPADEC To Wake Up

Deltans Expresses Disappointment Over Distribution Pattern Of COVID-19 Palliatives, As  Mulade Urges Gov. Okowa To Direct DESOPADEC To Wake Up

Francis Tayor

Warri_____ A Delta State born renowned human rights and environment activist, Comrade Mulade Sheriff has drawn the attention of the State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to the unpleasant pattern of distributing the food stuff palliatives to cushion the economic effects of the 28 days lockdown order by the State Government on the less privileged.

Speaking at the weekend at his country home in Benikrukru Community of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South West LGA of Delta State, Chief Mulade who is also the National Coordinator of Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, commended the Delta State Government for distributing food stuffs to the 25 LGAs from the State’s Food Bank during the lockdown period. He however expressed disappointment over the quantity of food stuffs and other items that were distributed.

He drew the attention of the State Governor to the selective pattern adopted in the distribution of the food items in favour of members of a particular political party, describing it as unacceptable. He said all Deltans should benefit from the State Government irrespective of political affiliations as hunger knows no political boundaries.

On the one million (Ankara) nose masks to be produced by the Delta State Government for distribution to Deltans, the human rights activist advised that the effort should be devoid of political bias for the sake of integrity on the part of Government. He noted that every Deltan has the right to be protected from COVID-19, adding that one million (Ankara) nose masks would be grossly inadequate for the over 4 million people living in Delta State who deserve to be protected from the killer virus.

While commending the Managing Director of DESOPADEC, Chief Bashorun Askia Ogie,
and the Executive Director, Planning Research and Statistics, DESOPADEC, Comrade Shedrack Agediga, for distributing palliatives through their personal Foundations to their immediate communities and constituencies towards cushioning the hunger effect of the lockdown period, Chief Mulade expressed disappointment over DESOPADEC's failure to reach out to their host communities at this time of need. He said this is the best time for people in the State to benefit from Government's interventionist Agencies, Commissions and Boards but expressed shock that DESOPADEC did not share a grain of rice to residents of its mandate areas including riverine/coastal communities, saying that it did not speak well of the Commission.

He therefore called on the Board of DESOPADEC to do the needful by providing food stuffs and other necessary items for people in its mandate areas, instead of hiding under the umbrella of personal donations by individual Foundations to present DESOPADEC's Weekly Report on AIT, describing such acts as deceptive, fraudulent and criminal, and urged the Governor to call the Commission to order.

Chief Mulade alleged that some political appointees use the State funds for jamborees and personal promotion, instead of using same to buy and distribute food stuffs to the poor and vulnerable in the various communities. He then charged the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and other political office holders in the State to be committed to the welfare of all Deltans, irrespective of political affiliations. He advised against playing politics with the coronavirus and using the situation to drain the State economy.

COVID-19 Pandemic: Apostle Suleiman Goes Gaga, Begs Nigerian Govt To Allow Pastors Test Their Healing Power At COVID-19 Isolation Centers

Francis Tayor

Abuja______ Nigerian televangelist and the senior pastor and general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman has appealed to the Nigerian government to allow pastors to visit isolation centres to pray/heal COVID-19 patients.

Suleman, during a recent sermon, reacted to comments from several Nigerians that pastors have refused to go and ‘heal’ COVID-19 patients. He pointed out that pastors needed the permission/approval of the Government before they can visit any isolation centre. In his words;

_“There is a virus in town and people say, where is the church? where are the Christians?..and I have said this clearly, If the government will permit us to go to isolation centres to go and pray for Coronavirus patients, please permit us, allow us to go there._

_“That is why there are men of God. If you are really anointed to pray for the sick, this is the time. This is the time because what is holding the world is sickness. So, we are begging the government, we are begging them, Permit us!”_

_“That is the only wat we can reduce this nonsense. because it will increase every day, there are people with the gift of healing. God has gifted them to pray for the sick, it’s not fake, It’s not a gimic, It’s not arranged, it’s there in them,”_ he said.

He also added that he is not claiming that pastors can heal all the Coronavirus patients in Nigeria.

_“We are not telling you we can heal everybody but by the time we are through with prayer, you will see a significant difference. If they are 20 at least 18 will be cleared,”_ he said.

COVID-19 PALLIATIVES: OKOWA HAS FAILED DELTANS, SAYS IJAW PEOPLES DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE

Press  Statement

COVID-19 PALLIATIVES: OKOWA HAS FAILED DELTANS, SAYS IJAW PEOPLES DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE

It is sad that Delta State Government is showing ingratitude to deltans despite the pains and hunger in the state,  a situation where people don't go to work and do business for a whole month, and you are coming to share few cups of rice ,beans and garri to few Deltans.

It may interest your His Excellency Senator Ifeanyi Okowa to know that less than 10percent of Delta State population got a cup of rice, beans or garri from the state government creek gift, called pallatives.

We want to state that deltans deserve a befitting treatment from Delta State government. A situation where deltans are treated as beggars and destitutes, it is unacceptable. It is only irresponsible government that would treat her people ,the way deltans have been treated in the face of this difficulty of covid-19 lockdown. This is a sign of ingratitude to deltans and a slap on the faces of deltans. This evidence that there is no government in Delta State.

It is disappointing that in the face of grievous lamentations of hunger and hardship, Delta State government shared cups of rice, beans and garri to few Deltans. This is a sign that Delta  State government does not have the people at heart. It is shameful and disheartened. We are not convinced that the few foods shared were to cushion the pains of covid-19 lockdown as it was meant to insult Deltans.

We want to believe that the few foods shared were from donors, and it was expected that the state government would argument to ensure that every deltan is given a share or a sense of belonging.
His Excellency senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State should know that Deltans laboured hard to create comfort for him, "deltans pay your bills, and ensure you live in free house, eat free food and drive free cars and get other free enssentials and necessities. Deltans deserved better treatments.
We can borrow to build Government official houses. We borrow to pay Politicians salary but we can't borrow to maintain the welfare of the citizens or electorate in this auspicious times. It is really sad.

We want to state unequivocally that deltans are disappointed over what was shared as palliatives by Delta State government. It is worrisome that Delta State government only shared foods from donors and bluntly refused to make committements to alleviate the suffering of deltans.

The shabby distribution was for the fact that there was no proper data capturing. It is appalling that a whole state government shameless distributed between a cup and four to few deltans to cushion the effects of covid-19 lockdown for a whole month. Truely, we don't need your cup of rice and beans to survive as it cannot sustain us as Deltans.

A ward was given 40 bags of rice and 20 bags of beans, and a ward has several voting units. Some political wards have 12 units, others have between 15, 17, 18, 20, 25 etc.  Some units are between three hundred, five hundred, six hundred,  eight hundred or one thousand voters.

For example,  a ward that has 20 voting units, with average of five hundred persons per unit, will sum up to Ten thousand, (10,000) voters. This should have been the arithmetic analysis that may have helped the government for equitable distribution of food items in the state.

You may agree with us that sharing 40 bags of rice and 20 bags of beans in a ward of 10,000 registered voters is a great disservice. A bag of rice contains 12 baskets. A bag of beans contains 24baskets. If we multiple 40 bags of rice by 12, we will have four hundred and eighty baskets (480). It means at the estimate of one basket to an individual, 480 persons will benefit from the 40 bags of rice. If 20 bags of beans multiple by 24, we will have the same four hundred and eighty baskets (480), which means at the estimate of one basket to an individual, 480 persons will benefit from the 20 bags of beans. And in total, it is assumed that 960 persons will benefit from the 40 bags of rice and 20 bags of beans with the estimate of a basket to per person in the midst of 10,000 legible voters in a ward. In this case it was split to cups, making the process or exercise meaningless.

This shows that every ward less than 10pecent of the population benefited the few cups of rice, beans or garri. Going by the above analysis, one will vividly say that less than 10% percent of Delta State population benefited the beggars gift of a cup of rice or beans from Delta State government.

The sad part of it is that a basket to a person cannot sustain an individual for a month, now it is split to a cup, how does a cup of rice become meaningful in a family life. Can Okowa or his Political Appointees fee their family with a  basket or a cup of rice or beans? And you give out few cups of beans or rice and you called it a palliative. It too sad.

It is dishearten that someone was given a cup of rice and we called it a palliative. How would a responsible government share a cup of rice for an individual to survive in a month longed lockdown. We are pained.
We are equally disgusted over the accolades following the sharing of a cup of rice and beans by Delta State government. It is a fact that politicians and community leaders celebrating this nonsense are suffering from the poverty of the mind and mental defunction.

It is worrisome as no responsible government would disregard data analysis as such forms a better platform for even distribution of benefits to deltans.

We want to call on the governor of Delta state ,his Excellency senator Ifeanyi Okowa to treat Deltans as humans and with heart of gratitude based on the support given to him during his governorship elections in the state in a view of providing pallatives that will affect lives positively in the state.

Signed
Comrade Emma Keneware

Lockdown: Ex_Niger Delta Agitators Demands Palliatives From President Buhari, Says Further Lockdown Will Cause Problem ln The Country

Lockdown: Ex_Niger Delta Agitators Demands Palliatives From President Buhari, Says Further Lockdown Will Cause Problem ln The Country

Francis Tayor

Yenagoa_____ As the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown enters fourth week, ex-Niger Delta agitators has demanded relief materials from President Buhari led federal government of Nigeria, saying they are equally entitled to such benefits as some part of the country is enjoying it.

The ex-militants said they can no longer cope with the sixty five thousand naira monthly stipend given to them by federal government, especially during this COVID-19 lockdown, stressing that federal government should do the needful by transferring palliative cash through their BVN account numbers.

Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the ex-agitators in yenagoa yesterday 23rd April, 2020 after emergency meeting, one Commander Biggy Ebi Pinapinawei noted that if the federal government can give relief materials as well as transfer palliative cash to some persons in the Northern part of Nigeria, he should equally pay the Southerners, especially the ex-agitators.

Commender Biggy said the whole nation is facing a difficult situation and he wonder why President Buhari will order payment of some selected Nigerians and leave the others to die in hunger.

" We cannot continue with this partiality and ethnicity menace in our nation. Let the palliative cash transfer go round to every Nigerians if not, there will be a very big problem soon in the country.

President Buhari should know that the 65k they are paying ex-agitators is just a penny. We are using it to cater for our various families. The payment is what we use to assist the needy in the society but it has been difficult due to the present situation in the country."

" We hereby called on President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency give us relief materials as well as transfer palliative cash through our account details already with the federal government. And if the lockdown will continue without such palliative measures put in place, there is going to be a huge problem in the nation, the statement adds."

See How A Desperate Pastor's Wife, Dr. Rachael Ogar Conspires With Fake Journalist, Nigerian Police To Humiliate Her Husband At Abraka

Francis Tayor

Abraka_____ A clergyman, Apostle Daniel Okache Ogar of the Apostolic Power Ministry, Abraka, Delta State was arrested by the Police on the 16th of April, 2020, over an allegation by his wife, Dr. Rachael Ogar, that he was a ritualist. Apostle Ogar hails from Cross River State, while his wife Rachael, a lecturer at the Delta State University, Abraka, is a native of Orogun in Delta State.

According to the Pastor, on the 11th of April 2020, he had an argument with his wife on how to run and move the family forward. He said he thought the issue was resolved but his wife's actions later showed that she was still nursing grudges as she insisted on visiting her family to spend time with them, though she was coming and going whenever she desired because she had full access to the house. The Pastor said he was therefore in the Church most times praying for people and the country.

On the 15th day of April, 2020, he said his wife left the house for an undisclosed destination and was not seen or heard from despite attempts and efforts by him to reach her. On the next day, 16th of April, 2020, he said he drove out to buy fuel and other essentials for the house, and on his way back, he was blocked by a Sienna bus, and some men whom he later discovered were Policemen, dragged him out of his car and rough handled him alleging that his wife wrote a petition against him, saying they must search his house.

Considering the fact that he had nothing to hide, he said he quickly agreed but when he asked for their identity and insisted on seeing the warrant that authorized them to search his house, they gave him hot slaps on his face and handcuffed him. The embattled Pastor said the Policemen pushed him into their Sienna bus and drove him to his house, guided by his wife who took them straight to where their wardrobe in the room was, and surprisingly, instead of their usual clothes in the wardrobe, she pointed at some strange objects tied with a red cloth, telling the Police that he was a ritualist.

He said despite his denial, they forced him to stand in front of the wardrobe, with the policemen slapping him several times, asking him to accept ownership of the fetish objects found in the wardrobe, while a young man suspected to be a journalist was asked  to do a video recording of what he described as a drama, after which they took him to Asaba in the Sienna bus.

He said on getting to the Force Headquarters at Asaba, he discovered that his wife had written so many accusations against him, alleging that he buried some objects in his Church. He said on Friday 17th April, 2020, the Policemen took him to his Church at Abraka town to continue their investigations, and expressed shock that his wife took the Policemen straight to a spot in the Church premises, saying *"this is the place where my husband buried the animal."*

The question is, how did the Pastor's wife know the exact spot where her husband allegedly buried the said animal? How come the wife was just seeing the strange objects (for the first time) in the wardrobe that she and her husband had jointly used for over two years of their being legally married?

Apostle Ogar attributed his ordeal to the endless matrimonial issues with his wife since their legal marriage in 2018. He said his wife has many plots of land in Abraka unknown to him, and that she refused to support him in running the home financially and was always threatening to humiliate him. He alleged that she paid an official of a GSM operator in Lagos to monitor his calls and text messages, threatening several times to bring him and his Ministry down, frustrate and chase him out of Delta State but that he did not take her threats seriously until now.

He said on the 19th of April 2020, he saw a video of his arrest on Instagram posted by a blogger named Clement Akpobome Agudu, popularly known as IG Isokoboy12, narrating the incident with words capable of tarnishing his image and reputation, when investigations were yet to be concluded. He said the blogger promised to pay N5,000.00 to anyone that would comment on and repost the video.

He disclosed that the said video, which tactfully excluded his wife, was recorded by those who plotted his arrest, and that all other persons present at the scene of his arrest, were dispossessed of their phones, thereby denying him of the opportunity of having a video of what actually happened.

Apostle Ogar has therefore appealed to everyone to remain calm and wait for the outcome of Police investigations. He believed that those behind the ignoble plot would be brought to book and assured all of God’s intervention in the matter.

COVID-19: A Global Human Rights Activist, Amb. Mulade Calls On President Buhari To Extends Palliatives, Cash Transfer To Niger Delta Riverine Communities

..... Says FG Should Also Embarked On Nationwide Door to door Covid-19 Test

Francis Tayor

Warri_____ The National Coordinator and CEO of a renowned non governmental organisation NGO, Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, Comrade Mulade Sheriff has appealed to Nigerians to support the steps taken by Federal and State Governments towards containing the spread of coronavirus in Nigeria.

Chief Sheriff Mulade who is the Ibe-Sorimowei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom in Delta State made the appeal in Warri, while addressing newsmen on the extra two weeks lockdown by President Muhammadu Buhari, describing the decision as a welcomed development since it is in the interest and safety of all Nigerians.

The CEPEJ Chief Executive said the additional two weeks would help the Government, NCDC and health workers to manage the spread of COVID-19, and commended President Muhammadu Buhari for taking the bold step to save lives irrespective of political considerations.

Speaking on the rise in confirmed cases to 627 as reported by NCDC, Chief Mulade appealed to the Federal and State Governments to consider the riverine communities of the Niger Delta Region particularly the densely populated communities in the creeks, whom he said are neglected in the whole process, by providing isolation centers, test kits and medicine, as well as train more health workers.

He urged the authorities at all levels to provide the means of livelihood for the Niger Delta people, whom he said are the more poorest and most vulnerable Nigerians that need more palliatives, including the Federal Government's social investment programme.

Chief Mulade also charged the Federal Government to use the additional two weeks lockdown to conduct a nationwide door-to-door covid-19 test on every Nigerian to ascertain the actual number of COVID-19 cases in the country so as to commence treatment immediately. He said if the Federal Government and the Ministry of Health could execute a nationwide door-to-door vaccination for children to prevent them from polio and other diseases, a door-to-door covid-19 test for all Nigerians should not be a problem.

He strongly appealed to the Federal Government, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, amongst others, to give equal treatment to all Nigerians in terms of distribution of palliatives, cash provisions, test kits, medicine, and face masks to save lives, as we are all collectively involved in the global efforts at curbing the deadly disease.

My attention has been drawn to an online poster by a group that goes by the name UNITED PEOPLE OF NIGERIA INITIATIVE (UPNI) endorsing me for Nigeria's presidency in 2023. One Sir Wealthson Chukwudi was exposed on the poster as President of the group.

I wish to state clearly that this man,  UPNI and its promoters are not known to me directly or remotely and whatever they are saying has not come from me and will never come from me. I am a businessman and not a politician.

 My purpose is to impact humanity and I do not have to be President first before I can continue with what has become part of my essence. This is my nature. My motivations are different.

I call on the public to completely ignore this group and any other group or person/s that may come up with such message and mischief about me in future. I, personally, feel very offended by it all.

I am very suspicious of the motive behind this unsolicited publication. Once again, I am not interested in partisan politics.
