DELTA AT 33 YEARS OF RETROGRESSION

Admin

By Zik Gbemre   What are Deltan politicians celebrating for 33 years of creation of Delta state? Are the Deltan politicians celebrating bad leadership, poverty, hunger, unemployment, kidnappings, robberies, killings and youth violence? Delta state is retrogressing and not progressing. Delta state is not lucky with leaders because supposed elected governors are imposed on the people to loot as they like. Immediate past Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s made stupendous wealth feasting on the state’s commonwealth from clinging to political offices. Sheriff Oborevwori is now at the helms, amassing wealth from the…

PRESIDENTIAL AIRCRAFTS SEIZURE ABROAD: ANOTHER SHAME OF A NATION

Admin

By Zik Gbemre How shameful can it get. What an embarrassment, that Nigeria’s President’s official jet is impounded by private companies in foreign countries. It means Nigeria as a country has totally lost reputation and dignity in eyes of the international community. Too bad. Tinubu is hardly in the country. One would have expected Tinubu to remain in Nigeria to resolve her many problems. With all his globetrotting Tinubu has lost self-dignity and self-esteem. Tinubu goes about attending summits where he is not recognized. In South- Africa recently Tinubu was…

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT: ANOTHER DELIBERATE WASTAGE

Admin

By Zik Gbemre   The creation of Federal Ministry of Livestock Development is another wastage of public funds aimed at gratifying hangers-on with compassionate appointments. The Ministry Of Agriculture is already there with all relevant departments. Rearing of cows, fowls, pigs, turkeys, snails, etc don’t require a special ministry. The clash between between herdsmen and farmers is caused by wild/unrestrained grazing of cows in farms. The herdsmen take their cows to farms to feed on crops planted by farmers. The problem is known. Wild/unrestrained grazing if stopped the problem of…

By Zik Gbemre,   Uwherun bushes, particularly Agadama and Ohoror in Ughelli North LGA, Delta state, have turned Herdsmen kidnapping den.

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori you are in the driving seat as the leader of Delta state, Chief Security Officer. Agadama and Ohoror residents…

HATE SPEECH AGAINST OLOROGUN GBAGI IN DEATH SO UNFORTUNATE

Admin

By Zik Gbemre,   It would not have been my place to respond to the malicious smear campaign by a certain foul mouthed Emmanuel Ogheneochuko Arodovwe, directed against Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, if the highly accomplished Ughievwen son, lawyer, investor and politician were still alive. Gbagi would have cleared the air. He fended off bigger character assassinations against his name before he joined his forbearers recently. Besides if left to fester, the erroneous impression Arodovwe has created about Gbagi in death might be interpreted as the position of the Urhobo Historical…

Otu-Jeremi Police Division’s Extortion On The Road Has Gotten Out Of Hand

Admin

By Zik Gbemre, It is imperative to call the DPO and his patrol team at the Otu-Jeremi Police Divisional Office in Ughelli South Local Government Area, Delta State to order and stop their growing indulgence in extortion of members of the public. The DPO and his patrol team are so blinded by the lure of extortion on motorists and commuters in Ughelli South to the point of compromising the protection of critical national assets, particularly oil and gas assets in their sphere of operations. This public misconduct was displayed on…

Soldiers Killing: Between Aba And Okuama

Admin

By Zik Gbemre,   There is no justification for killing of any human being. I will always condemn killings, kidnapping, robberies and every heinous crime, every offence no matter who and what is involved. Governor Alex Otti of Abia state has proven to be a man experienced in leadership. He is a material for governance. The way he is handling the killing of soldiers in his state is evident he is committed to lead his people. As noted by Chief Godwin Notoma, a prominent Udu Kingdom Chief in Delta state,…

OMONADE-GATE: It Was Never About Defending  A Tamed Opposition Lawmaker

Admin

By Zik Gbemre,   From the feedback, still pouring in, on my reflections on “OMONADE’S SUSPENSION: WHO’S STILL DISPUTING DELTA IS UNDER CHOKE OF A KINDERGARTEN GOVERNMENT“, it is cheering confirming that even with the populace increasingly becoming gullible, many tamed by deprivations and stomach infrastructures, many informed Deltans agree with me that our State is truly choking under a ‘one chance’ government with Governor Sheriff Oborwvwori at the helms. Vindicated by these feedbacks, there was really no point to throw banters with the Governors rental praise singers who want…

DISCLAIMER: RE: OMONADE’S SUSPENSION: WHO’S STILL DISPUTING DELTA IS UNDER CHOKE OF A KINDERGARTEN GOVT?

Admin

I read with deep consternation an online article on spadenigeria.com written by one Zik Gbemre on May 27, 2024 titled “Omonade’s Suspension: Who’s Still Disputing Delta is Under Choke of a Kindergarten Govt?”, in which he sold a wrong and toxic thought on the internal conflict we had in Delta State House of Assembly. As lawmakers, it is inevitable to experience internal issue which are also meant to be resolved in the House. I want to state categorically and in very clear terms that I, Hon. Matthew Onojighofia Omonade, member…

HON OMONADE’S SUSPENSION: WHO’S STILL DISPUTING DELTA IS UNDER CHOKE OF A KINDERGARTEN GOVT?

Admin

By Zik Gbemre,   It is common knowledge that under the PDP thieving hegemony over Delta state since 1999, the populace have suffered worsening misgovernment. However, before the cabal catapulted Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the top spot in Delta government, past misgovernment displayed by the ruling PDP was not a reflection of ineptitude and lack of leadership capacity. The tragedy of Delta state under the two medical doctors, was induced by a combination of sheer abuse of power and influence of the office of the governor, a desperation to sustain…
