Nigerians have once again been called upon to show love, care and concern for the less privileged and the elderly in the society, as they deserve attention.

 

Various speakers stated these at different orphanages and homes for the elderly in Rivers State on Thursday, 30th  December as part of activities to mark the 51st birthday celebration of Turnaround  Expert and former Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside.


Spread across the three senatorial districts of the state, over 1,000 friends, associates and family members gathered to underscore one of the burning desires of the celebrant, which is to contribute to the upliftment of humanity and make the world a better place.

 

Speaking at Daughters of Charity of St Vincent De Paul, Eleme, leader of delegation and former chairman of Andoni local government area, Hon Orom Nte said the essence of the charity is to encourage the less privileged and inspire them to believe in their abilities to suceed in life. Chief Gordon Tornwe, a former Khana LGA Chairman at Eleme re-echoed the same sentiment and that giving to the needy aligns with the personal values of Dr Peterside . 

 



According to Hon Orom  “their background should not keep their backs to the ground,” pointing out that the celebrant is someone who has made modest achievements in life through the grace of God and never-say-die attitude.

Wike Is a Chartered Ignoramus On Economy

Wike Is a Chartered Ignoramus On Economy 

I watched Governor Wike spend more than one hour of precious time on three national television networks paid for with Rivers tax payers’ money responding incoherently to an interview I granted earlier . It was a one hour that exposed his ignorance and made Rivers State Government an object of ridicule before the whole world. Gov Wike did not fail to prove right those who say Rivers State does not deserve a comedian and an Area Boy as Governor.  He literally went to the mud, his natural territory, and muddled up serious issues of statecraft.
