*See The Outcome Of The Emergency Meeting Conveyed And Presided Over By The Ologbotsere Of Warri And Chairman, Warri Council Of Chiefs, Chief (Engr) Oritsema Oma Eyewuoma*

1. Yesterday Saturday 2nd of September, 2023, the Itsekiri ethnic nationality took their collective destiny in their own hands and converged in their numbers to attend an emergency meeting at Rice Farm along Esisi road GRA Warri in Delta State to review critical issues in respect of the collective survival and continuous existence of the Itsekiri ethnic nationality with a view to lay a new foundation that will engender the much needed peace, security, collective prosperity, infrastructural development in Iwereland and to chat a new course for themselves and generations unborn in line with the vision and plans of the Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse lll CFR from the very first day he ascended the pristine and ancient throne of his forefathers as encapsulated in his inaugural speech on August 21st, 2021 at Ode-Itsekiri Olu, Itsekiri nation ancestral headquarters that was watched across the globe.

 

 

 

 

2. The emergency meeting was conveyed and presided over by the Ologbotsere of Warri, and Chairman, Warri Council of Chiefs, Chief (Engr.) Oritsema Oma Eyewuoma. In attendance were highly respected and prominent Itsekiri sons and daughters from all walks of life. The gathering included but was not limited to prominent Palace Chiefs of Ogiame Atuwtse III, the Olu of Warri, Olare-Ajas of various Itsekiri ancestral communities, members of the Ginuwa I Ruling House, community leaders, community Trust Executives Committee members and their leaders, various Itsekiri community youth executives, and associations, Itsekiri socio-cultural organizations, students, graduates/professional associations, political leaders, legal practitioners of Itsekiri extractions, distinguished Itsekiri from the business and academic sector, clergymen/women, leaders of various Itsekiri pressure groups/social media platforms and their members, opinion leaders, market men and women associations, press men and women etc, all defiled the heavy down pour to come together to discuss and chat a new course for the Itsekiri ethnic nationality. The emergency meeting which was earlier announced in the day across various social media platforms, was also streamed live and Itsekiris sons and daughters outside Warri and across the globe also joined virtually to contribute and give their unalloyed and unflinching support to the wave of positive change sweeping across Itsekiri land since His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse lll CFR came and also took turns to roundly support the decisions and resolutions reached at the end of the deliberation from their respective bases with great relief and excitement.

3. After over three (3) hours of an exhaustive deliberation which afforded various Itsekiri sons and daughters to speak their minds and openly denounced the ugly status quo and manner in which the collective affairs and resources of the Itsekiri people have been mindlessly pilfered, and squandered by some sets of individuals in recent times to the detriment of the Itsekiri people, they stated that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The gathering agreed speaker after speaker in lamentable tunes that they had seen enough and that the bad leadership structure that has managed the collective wealth of the Itsekiri people have failed woefully to improve the lives of the Itsekiri people and their Communities. Those who spoke stated one after the other while sharing the tales of woes that the bad and corrupt leadership system the Olu is trying to put an end to in Iwereland have subjected them to, said they have been waiting for so long praying to God Almighty in heaven for a day such as they have witnessed to come so that they can be set free from the inhuman and degrading treatment they have been facing for so many years before now in Itsekiri nation.

 

4. They concluded that the situation has plunged the Itsekiri nation into a sad state of despondency, hopelessness, abject poverty and misery in the midst of abundant opportunities, gross and unprecedented under development, massive and unacceptable level of unemployment of Itsekiri sons and daughters despite the huge resources and presence of various multinationals oil companies in Iwereland, the gathering came to a final resolution to stand up together as one strong force to vehemently resist and crush anything that will henceforth stand in their way to break the old chains and shackles of stagnation foisted upon the Itsekiri people without their consent by a handful of individuals who have for long continued to constitute themselves as a clog in the wheel of progress of the Itsekiri ethnic nationality.

 

5. With one voice, they were heard loud and clear as they unanimously pledged their undivided loyalty and strong support to their revered monarch, His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwtse III CFR, in all his quests to work together with the government at all levels and other critical stakeholders to turn around the fortune of the Itsekiri people for the collective good of all itsekiris. The Itsekiri people vowed never again to allow the golden and new opportunity that has been provided by the good policy of the federal government, the state government and other critical stakeholders through the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021and the Host Community Trust Development Fund for the transformation of Iwereland to be hijacked by any sets of anti Itsekiri forces as has been the case in the past where huge opportunities that could have been utilized to make Itsekiri nation greater were wasted. The final resolutions of the emergency meeting was openly declared by the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom, and Chairman, Warri Council of Chiefs Chief (Engr) Oritsema Oma Eyewuoma, is set forth hereunder as follows:

 

5. “We thank everyone for defiled the heavy down pour to answer our call to attend this emergency meeting despite the very short notice. Itsekiri thank all those who worked behind the scene to make today’s gathering a success. From this gathering today, we resolved that whatever His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwtse III, the Olu of Warri has put together with the active participation of Itsekiri communities will stand. We will not change it. Should anybody, should the Settlors out of the fear of blackmail change what itsekiris and their king has put together, Itsekiri as a nation and group, will not just shut down one flowstation, we will shut down all flowstations. We will shut down all facilities. And we know how to do this because, we have people who have spent all their lives working in the oil industry and they know what to do. And we will shut down all facilities should we be ignored. We have also resolved that the era where a handful of people takeover the assets, the wealth of the Itsekiri people and make it personal, has ended. We will go after all our assets and the monies that a handful of people have always been cornering for themselves to the detriment of the generality of Itsekiri people. That also will stop.

Itsekiri will enjoy their own wealth, their own assets. We are not stopping those doing their own business. What we are saying is that you can no longer carry the wealth of all itsekiris and make it your own. Itsekiri wealth must be for the Itsekiri people”.He stated.

 

6. The Ologbotsere of Warri, and Chairman, Warri Council of Chiefs, Chief Eyewuoma, was flanked to his right and left by other prominent Palace Chiefs during the emergency meeting amongst whom are, Chief Gabriel Awala, the Uwangue of Warri, Chief Tony Onuwaje, the Otsodi of Warri, Chief Brown Mene, the Ogwaolusan of Warri, Chief Dr. Roland Oritsejafor, the Ogwa of Warri, Chief (Sir) P.D. Yalaju, the Kenekuniraro of Warri, Chief Francis Omatseye, the Edigbe of Warri , Chief Madam Roli Oritsejafor, the Iyeolumaete of Warri, Chief Billy Besigiwa, the Osolo of Warri Chief Mrs Mercy Olowu, the UtukpaOritse Erin of Warri, Chief Chief Omulubi Newuwumi, the Oma Tamudenyin of Warri, Chief Mrs Elizabeth Okotie-Eboh, the Iye of Warri, Chief Walter Omatshola Boyo, Chief JFK Omatsone, the Olutimeyin of Warri, Chief Wilson Olley Edun, the Abuoludero of Warri, and Chief S K. Omabeyinje, the Olugbo of Warri.

 

7. It was also revealed during the emergency meeting that the former Executive Governor of Delta State, an illustrious Itsekiri son, in the person of His Excellency, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has been very concerned with the state of affairs of the Itsekiri ethnic nationality and has been meeting privately with a selected Itsekiri sons and daughters who are leaders and critical stakeholders in Itsekiri nation with a view of bringing all ITSEKIRIS together to make sure the new narrative the Olu has chatted for the collective interest of the Itsekiri nation succeeds. Some of those who have been meeting privately with the former governor to join the Olu and his Chiefs to move Itsekiri forward were also announced in the meeting.

 

8. The level of rot and heartrending state of quagmire the Itsekiri people have been long subjected to was received with much anger and a desire to fight for their freedom when it was revealed in the course of the discussion that about 125M naira of Itsekiri ethnic nationality money in the Delta State Oil Producing Development Commission (DESOPADEC) is being collected by Mr Michael Diden Ejele monthly since 2006 when ex governor Chief James Onanefe Ibori brought the Commission in 2006. It was further revealed that the same Ejele collected this same amount of money during Governor Uduaghan tenure, Governor Okowa tenure and the money was only recently stopped by the efforts of the Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse lll CFR who insisted that monies running into billions of naira that ought to be used to improve the lives of the common Itsekiri man and transform all Itsekiri ancestral homeland into developed cities as it is in other oil producing counties around the world can no longer be squandered while his subjects remain in penury.

 

9. The current DESOPADEC monthly fund belonging to the Itsekiri ethnic nationality that the Olu has succeed in stopping from being paid out to those who have been channelling Itsekiri common patrimony into their private pockets is put at a whooping 135M naira monthly. If we are to calculate this sum of money that these sets of persons named in the emergency meeting as the brains behind the callousness, the source of Itsekiri problems and ugly situation can easily be traced This is the reason why the situation must change if Itsekiri nation must survive and see the concomitant benefits from the PIA otherwise, we are doomed they gathering agreed. This kind of cesspool corruption and wicked destructive leadership system is what the entire Itsekiri people have come together together to critically sit down and reviewed and have decided to cue behind their intelligent and brilliant Olu who has already mapped out a very clear template called the “Itsekiri Ethnic Nationality Development Charter”to use the PIA in collaboration with the nominated representatives from the Itsekiri oil bearing communities to redirect the fortune of the Itsekiri people to the land of collective prosperity. The Itsekiri people have come out to declare that they will NEVER allow anybody to mismanage the Itsekiri money in the Host Community Trust Development Fund in the PIA contrary to the good intentions of their king and the government. They have therefore used the emergency meeting to send a very strong message that anyone who tries to compromise or truncate the good plans of the Olu, His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse lll CFR for them and the unborn Itsekiri generations to come, should be prepared to face the fire consequences of their actions. Itsekiri nation have ONLY ONE KING AND SOLE AUTHORITY WHO GOVERN THEIR COLLECTIVE INTEREST. WHATEVER THE OLU SAYS IS WHAT BINDS THE ITSEKIRI PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.

 

A WORD THEY SAY, IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Celebrating Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje At 60 By Jimmy Enyeh

 

Majority of Deltans are unanimous in their submissions that the name of
Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje, a celebrated top civil servant and retired permanent secretary in Delta State Government House has been recorded in the good side of history.

Celebrating Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje At 60 By Jimmy Enyeh

As he clocked 60 today, family members, friends, associates and well wishers have been falling over themselves to pay tribute to a kind hearted and jolly good fellow.

 

Edwin, a scion of the famous Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, a family noted for producing top bureaucrats and influential public servants.

For 35 years until he retired in January 2024, he added values to Delta State civil service, deepening its positive nuances and was one of the people that nurtured the civil service of the young state upon creation in 1991 to its now enviable heights, setting it along with others on a trajectory that has made it one of the best in the country.

Gbegbaje’s story is far from the proverbial rags-to-riches . He was born into comfort and high society, but suddenly lost his affluent parents in his first and third years at the University of Jos, but with good counsel and guidance of relatives who were bureaucrats, Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje made a career choice that saw him becoming a permanent secretary at 46, a very rare feat in those days.

In an interview conducted three years ago to celebrate his 57 years, he offered a glimpse into his life, challenges and triumph. “I come from the larger Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. We have quite several branches of the genealogical tree. We have the Abesan. The patriarch of the family is Chief Gbegbaje Dasone.

“We have Oloyo Gbegbaje and Ogidi Gbegbaje. My parents were civil servants like myself. My mum was a social welfare officer who rose through the ranks.During the late Ambrose Ali administration in Bendel State, she was appointed permanent secretary. My father was a medical doctor.

“He was the first radiologist in the defunct Bendel State and second in the country. My father was the chief consultant radiologist in Bendel State. I also have an uncle, Mr. K Gbegbaje who was a permanent secretary. When he retired, he became the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission. I have an uncle who was the first Accountant-General of Kwara State. He was in the northern civil service in the 60s.He later became Chairman of National Oil. I am from a family of bureaucrats. I attended Emotan Primary School in Benin.

“I proceeded to Edo College. When I left Edo College, I had the desire to leave Benin. Even when I was admitted into UNIBEN to study Economics and Statistics, I wasn’t enthusiastic. So, I got admission to study Political Science in Jos in 1981. Prof Emovon from UNIBEN was the Vice-Chancellor in Jos at the time. As I was entering, Jos ceased being a campus of the University of Ibadan. I was there from 1981 -1985. I graduated before my 21st birthday.

“Unfortunately, I lost my dad as I was entering the university in 1981. When I was just getting into my third year, I lost my mum.

It wasn’t easy being the eldest among my siblings. In fact, I was encouraged to come for Christmas holiday in Benin without knowing that the evening of my arrival in Benin was the period of my mum’s service of songs.

“I didn’t have an inkling that such a thing had happened. I didn’t even hear that she was ill. I was shocked when I saw canopies in my compound at Ovie Whiskey Avenue close to Ekhewan Campus. A prominent Jos-based businessman from Ughelli encouraged me to visit home for Christmas.

“I graduated in 1985 and taught at a secondary school in Iko-Eket, Cross River State. Just as I was finishing, there were some advertisements for jobs. I didn’t see the one for NNPC early enough.Towards the end of 1988, my uncle who was the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission, said since I couldn’t get a private sector job, I should participate in extended interviews, especially since I had sat for ASCON examination.

“He advised me to start a career in the civil service. By the end of 1988, letters of appointment were out. I wasn’t conscious of the fact that the person who resumes first becomes the senior in service. I didn’t resume early. My uncle said I was supposed to have resumed instead of waiting to resume in the New Year. A few of my friends who were conscious of it had resumed and they became my seniors in service. I resumed on January 3, 1989.

“That was how my career started. We were supposed to come in as administrative officers Grade 7, but at that time there was a decree. So, by the time we came in, we were designated as personnel officers. We were regarded as the special class.

“Upon the creation of Delta State on August 27, 1991, we all had to move to Asaba. In fact, the movement was swift.
We were all not fully prepared for the swift movement. There was a surge of human beings into Asaba with the state creation. A lot of us couldn’t get accommodation in Asaba when we came. In fact, I stayed in Ibusa for nine years. It was when I met my wife that we moved to Asaba. A lot of my colleagues were sleeping in the offices then.

On his retirement, the Delta State governor praised Gbegbaje’s contribution to the growth of the state.

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at the retirement thanks-giving service of Gbegbaje, urged civil servants in the state to emulate his virtues.

Speaking at a grand reception in honour of the celebrant at the Events Centre, Asaba, Governor Oborevwori described Ogidi-Gbegbaje as an intelligent, humble, diligent, transparent, process driven, selfless, accountable and compassionate bureaucrat.

While congratulating the retired Permanent Secretary for his diligent and patriotic service to the state, Oborevwori said Ogidi-Gbegbaje was very helpful in the last seven months of his administration.

According to him, “a lot has been said about Sir Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje and I also have a personal experience about him while I was Speaker and in the last seven months as Governor of Delta State, we have worked very closely and he helped me to settle down quickly.

“Sir Ogidi-Gbegbaje played his role very well, he is diligent in his duties and was always giving good and useful advise wherever he worked.

“Your service to humanity is something worth emulating and I must say that I enjoyed working with you. I congratulate you for 35 years of unblemished and meritorious service to the government and people of Delta State.

“We are going to miss you, the civil service will miss you, the machinery of government will miss you, you are retired but you are not tired, and your service is still needed.

“I want other civil servants to emulate your commitment to duty. So my message to other civil servants is that they should emulate Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje.

“If you look at his journey in the civil service from Bendel to Delta, you see his commitment to duty. Today, he has finished strong and we rejoice with him and his family”.

Chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Information, Professor Sam Oyovbaire, congratulated the celebrant for a successful retirement from service and urged other civil servants to emulate his kind virtues and commitment to duty.

From all indications, Edwin Ogidi-Gbagbaje is worth celebrating, he has touched numerous lives in the last six decades.

At the cusp of his 60th anniversary, the social and the civil service landscapes pulse with milestones he has achieved thus reasserting his worth as a rare force of nature. As family and friends join him in celebrating his 60th birthday, the image that pops into head is that of his genius and the passionate intensity he possesses, literally squizing water from stone as far as the public service is concerned. His brilliant performance as a permanent secretary, Delta State Government House, has earned him another appointment. He is currently the Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pension and has been giving a splendid account of himself.

"In All Life's Hardships, Keep Your Smile" By Prudent Ludidi

“In All Life’s Hardships, Keep Your Smile” By Prudent Ludidi

Let’s talk about a powerful tool that can help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence, resilience, and hope. That tool is your smile.

 

Life can be tough. It can throw us curveballs, test our resolve, and push us to our limits. But in the midst of hardship, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We forget to smile, forget to laugh, and forget to live.

"In All Life's Hardships, Keep Your Smile" By Prudent Ludidi

Your smile is more than just a facial expression. It’s a symbol of strength, courage, and determination. It’s a beacon of hope that shines brightly, even in the darkest moments.

When life gets tough, it’s tempting to frown, to cry, or to give up. But I urge you to do the opposite. Smile. Smile through the tears, smile through the pain, and smile through the struggles.

Smiling doesn’t mean you’re ignoring your problems or pretending everything is okay. It means you’re choosing to rise above, to find the silver lining, and to focus on the good.

Your smile has the power to transform your mindset, inspire others, diffuse tension, and heal emotional wounds. It’s a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and fear.

Think about it. When was the last time you smiled? Really smiled? Not just a polite smile or a forced grin, but a genuine, heartwarming smile?

Smiling can:

Reduce stress and anxiety
Boost your mood and energy
Improve your relationships
Increase your resilience

So, how can you keep your smile shining bright, even in the face of adversity?

Find the humor in difficult situations. Laughter is a powerful way to shift your perspective and lighten the load.

Practice gratitude daily. Focus on the good things in your life, no matter how small they may seem.

Surround yourself with positivity. Spend time with people who uplift and support you.

Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and prioritize self-care.

Remember, your smile is contagious. It can light up a room, brighten someone’s day, and change the atmosphere.

In all life’s hardships, keep your smile. It’s a reminder that better days are ahead, that you’re stronger than you think, and that you’re not alone.

Your smile is your superpower. Use it to overcome obstacles, to uplift others, and to create a ripple effect of joy and positivity.

Don’t let life’s challenges steal your smile. Keep shining, keep smiling, and keep pushing forward.

You are stronger than you think.

You are braver than you feel.

And you are capable of overcoming anything that comes your way.

So, smile. Smile with confidence. Smile with courage. Smile with hope!
