Why has there not been a holistic approach to the soot menace in Portharcourt?

By
Editor
-

The soot menace in Portharcourt has become too damaging for the silence it has earned in some quarters. Residents complain daily on radio and social media about how the soot has become an everyday threat to their survival.

On the surface, their complaints seem much like the howling of a people desperate for attention. However, one needs to see the number of children lying in hospital beds due to breathing difficulties to understand that there is bound to be a wide-scale tragedy if adequate measures are not put in place and urgently too.

The Rivers State government through the ministry of health has in time past, outlined measures that the government has taken to mitigate the sooth disaster, but it is safe to say that the measures are not enough and much more needs to be done.

The side effect of this disaster might result in a disease outbreak of epidemic proportion, shorter lifespan and mass death among residents of the Town.

The people should be given the benefits of doubt that government can rise up and tackle life-threatening issues like the soot menace. What the people have seen from the government are loads of theories with little efforts put in place.

Residents now sleep with nose masks on. Air condition filters are clogged with dark soot and you wonder how much of it has gotten into human breathing systems.

The federal ministry of environment seems to play deaf over this issue. If the federal government lay claims to oil and gas resources of this region, it should, without recourse to being asked, lay claims to this soot disaster and own the struggle for a cleaner environment in Portharcourt.

Government is there to protect the people during such disaster and not abandon them to their fate. The Rivers State Government and the Federal Government through the Ministry of Environment to should work together with stakeholders to bring this issue under control.

The federal government should pressure the military to stand down all their anti-bunkering activities and perchance for burning down modular refineries in the creeks and find another method to it. The outcome is the black soot menace.

Oil companies operating in the region should also be forced to use an alternative source of production. The atmosphere is saturated.

Drivers and their passengers

By
Editor

Simon Adaka a.k.a Adah Bros

You see the passengers we have today, we have them in different ways. What I mean is that we have three types of drivers and also three types of passengers.

For example, as a driver, you must have the three basic qualities of being a commercial driver. These qualities are: tolerance, politeness and endurance.

As a driver too, you should know that we have three types of passengers. The three types of passengers are: the problematic personalities, the destructive personalities and the progressive personalities.

Problematic Personalities.

For example, this season comes with a scarcity of passengers. We call it passengers season. When there are more of passengers, we call it drivers season.
If you want to talk about the problematic personalities, when they enter a vehicle or a loading taxi like when a driver is loading and it remains a chance for that driver to finish his loading, you will see most of these girls known as problematic personality come with their britico-Nigerian intonation because they have them in different types.

Now, see: “Oga driver, how many una dy carry for back now”
“How much una dy collect from here to Choba?”

“Hey, this 250 too much o. Abeg now ”

Drive will reply” Sister, na so we dy collect am”

“Ha! But driver, your car is stinking o. What did you carry now?”

Driver will reply: “If you wan enter motor, you enter”

Next thing you will hear is: “Ah!, please, Evelyn, let’s come down. We can’t be in this car. This car is stinking, even the driver is a pig”

Driver replies: “Hey sister, nor insult me o. No be because you see me like this”

But as a driver with experience, you are not supposed to reply them rudely. But whereby you reply them and trouble now comes up, the girl now will rain insults on you:

“Look at you. Article of no commercial value. You beast without accommodation”

The driver will now give them what we call traditional insults: “Yeye girl, Ashawo like you”

At this point, the girl will scream: ” Jesus! What have I done to deserve this. You can’t call me Ashawo like that. My parents are not prostitutes. Why do this to me? Oh God!”

Before you know it, she will start dragging the driver’s clothes and from there, all these dignitaries with expensive vehicles you see driving about will come. They are always emotionally electrocuted when it comes to girls.

They will start to park by the sides and before you know it, a lot of people have come for enquiry.
Before you know it, the people will say “Driver, what is the problem. What is happening between you and this girl?”

The driver will say: “Ah” and maybe that driver happens to be a Yoruba man. Yorubas are majority in the transport system here.

He will say: “Ah, Oga no vex o. The time wey the girl come. I dy go Choba……

The dignitaries will say: ” Hey, wait, wait, ladies before gentlemen. Let the girl speak first”

The dignitaries will say “Ya! Baby, what happened?”

You see these girls, they always cry with what we call “Uncompletable tears and statements”

Their statements will not be complete and their tears will be as if they have been beaten for a long time.
Before you know it, she will say: “Good day sir, I entered this taxi heading to Choba and I asked this driver how much do you carry at the back. Before I know it, oh Jesus!!!!!” And she will start crying.

The driver will say “Oga, make I talk the one wey happen o” but the dignitaries will not listen.

He will say: “Do you know that this girl you see here can be a mother tomorrow? Do you know that these are the future mothers of tomorrow and you are insulting her?”

The driver will say: “Oga, make I talk the one wey happen……”

You will hear: “My friend, keep quiet. You want me to imprison you? Do you know the gravity of offence you just committed? How can you look at a little girl like this and……”

“Ha, Oga, wetin I do o. I no do anything o. Ah! From Osun state wey me I come here come dy drive taxi o. Everybody know say me I no dy find trouble o.”

Before you know it, the driver is arrested and taken to the police station because he doesn’t have the three qualities of being a commercial driver.

Mosop still stands against the return of SPDC operations in Ogoni Land – Legborsi Pyagbara

By
Editor

The Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People, MOSOP, has said it still stands against the resumption of oil exploration in Ogoni Land by Shell without recourse to implementing the recommendations of the United Nations Environment report on the area.

MOSOP president, Legborsi Pyagbara, who made this assertion while speaking to the press in Port Harcourt on Friday, called on Shell to carry out environmental impact assessment of the area before pipes are laid.

Pyagbara while expressing disgust against the return of SPDC to the area, having being declared persona non Grata, also said the people of Ogoni have petitioned the National Human Right Commission to intervene in the matter.

“That shell’s continued laying of pipeline in Ogoni land is a negation of the environmental rights of the Ogoni people, and a great display of impunity against the extant laws of this country.

“MOSOP had from the onset, demanded that Shell carryout an environmental impact assessment on this areas, before pipelines are laid.

“When this request was rebuffed, MOSOP called out Ogoni people for a peaceful protest on the 4th of August 2017, at Biera community.

“Shell suspended operations, but later resurfaced again, and were seen in Ogoni communities in October 2017.

“MOSOP organized another protest at Nonwa Tai, on the 26th October 2017 which was met with heavy resistance and repression by a combined team of security agencies called upon by Shell and its contractors to stop the Protest”

The MOSOP president went ahead to accuse the National coordinator of Ken Saro Wiwa Associates, Gani Topba, Chairman oil bearing communities, Donald Gberesu and Belema oil of plotting to create crisis in the area, and revealed that MOSOP has been at the vanguard of the campaign against resumption of oil activities and operations in Ogoni land, with a broad-based discussion with relevant stakeholders.

Jose Mourinho told Manchester United’s £80m target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is better than Paul Pogba

Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has developed into a better player than Paul Pogba, according to the Lazio midfielder’s agent.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City were linked with moves for Milinkovic-Savic during the January transfer window and the clubs are expected to revive their interest in the summer.
Recent reports claim Jose Mourinho is prepared to spent £80m to bring the Serbia international to Old Trafford, but United will face competition from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Milinkovic-Savic’s agent, Mateja Kezman, confirmed last week that there was substantial interest in his client from multiple Premier League clubs. But Kezman, a former Chelsea player, has now gone further with his praise of the Lazio midfielder, saying he can ‘become the most complete player on the planet’.

‘When Sergej came to Italy, he was compared with Pogba, because at that moment it was probably the easiest comparison to make in terms of characteristics,’ he told Mozzart Sport.

‘I do really respect Pogba, let’s be clear, and other players who can run and work for the team, but I think now Sergej has different and better qualities than Pogba.

‘Over the last six months, he has made enormous progress at Lazio. If he retains his health, he can become the most complete player on the planet.

‘He has remarkable attributes and you’ll not find another player in the world with that power, muscular strength and height combined with technique and tactical awareness.

‘He has the touch of a Brazilian and some of the things he does reminds me of Zinedine Zidane. He can score goals in a variety of ways and has a good head on his shoulders.

‘I’ve played with Arjen Robben, Frank Lampard and some of the best in Europe and I think Sergej can surpass them if he keeps this up. He could soon be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or.’

Speaking at the end of last month, 23-year-old Milinkovic-Savic opened the door to a summer move from Lazio and admitted he is flattered by interest from top clubs.

‘It’s nice when people are talking about me,’ he said. ‘But I don’t place too much importance on these things. ‘I’m happy at Lazio and am feeling good here for now, but then we will have to see.’

Former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration Safety Agency, Mr. Raymond Temisan Omatseye, has been sentenced to five years in prison, by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, over a N1.5bn contract scam.

Omatseye was on Friday sentenced after his arraignment before the court on a 27-count charge bordering on alleged contract variation, bid rigging and awarding contract above his approval limit.

At the resumed hearing of the matter on Monday, 14 March, the prosecution counsel, Godwin Obla, SAN, and defence counsel, E. D Onyeke made their final addresses and adopted them before the court.

Onyeke filed and served the court and prosecution a written address and adopted.

He urged the court to dismiss the case against the former NIMASA boss on the grounds that, the prosecution has not been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Obla also adopted his written address and expressed confidence that the 27-count charge against the defendant has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt and prayed the court to find the defendant guilty of all the charges.

He noted that 25 counts of the charges preferred against Omatseye dwelt on the approval of contract above the threshold level and the other two counts dealt with bid rigging. He also said that, contrary to existing regulations, contract was awarded to a company that was the highest bidder and which was not even pre-qualified for the contract.
