There is an inevitable debt that all mortals must pay, death! However, it is our wish that when this uninvited guest comes, let it meet us prepared and worthy of acceptance. There are also two most prominent events in a man's lifetime, birthday and burial day. While today marks the burial day of Late Mrs Elizabeth Domino Ogholaja, aka Ekotse, her birthday was some years back. There is nothing to add to the fact that the beauty of life is not necessarily in its longevity, but in the quality with which it is spent. Though Mama may not have lived like Methuselah, unarguably, her sojourn on this planet earth can indeed be described as remarkable and eventful. Better still hitting a diamond age is no mean feat. It is on this premise that we bid farewell to this virtuous woman as she is committed to mother earth. It is also our belief and firm conviction that Mama is at the Lord's bosom smiling at us, saying all sorts of pleasant words to her loved ones and humanity in general. Once ...

This is not because the heavens were created on that day or that the world started on that day but simply because a remarkable event took place on that date.

The 22nd day of November is a special day and would remain special in the world's calendar. This is not because the heavens were created on that day, or the world started on that day. But because a remarkable event took place on that date. The 22nd day of November heralds the birth of an icon into this eventful world whose name is Evangelist Elizabeth Kanu Mabiaku. Since then, the sojourn of the burning aspirations of lifting the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ on earth has really been eventful and interestingly colourful.

Once upon a time in ancient Eroune village in Okpe kingdom of Delta State, a cry of a baby was heard in the compound of Pa Umukoro Itemisan. The birth of this destiny child signalled a new dawn and heralded good tidings. More so, the atmosphere on that auspicious day was nothing short of a carnival as family members and well-wishers congregated to celebrate the triumphant entry of little Richard Umukoro, into this eventful world. Unarguably, the birth of a man begins his journey to life on this planet earth. Therefore, as the Patriarch began this marathon to live, he was armed with the fact that the beauty of life is not just in its longevity but by the quality with which it is spent, hence his pursuit of greatness in obscurity. Born into the royal family of Itemisan, Pa Chief Richard Umukoro Itemisan, began his educational journey at the then missionary school where he obtained the mandatory certification. However, not satisfied with this level of education coupled with his growing de...

Too often, consultants fail to give their clients maximum value. They bring pre-packaged knowledge and approaches to unique situations. Many consultants believe their value lies in what they already know and being "expert." Organic Consulting is a consulting methodology that lets the work grow from what is. In Organic Consulting, the consultant becomes part of a bigger whole. As a result, both client and consultant are changed. Through this change, desired results are achieved. What are the elements of Organic Consulting? Becoming Part of the Whole As you, the consultant, are hired by an organization, you become part of it. You are no longer independent of each other and have both changed. In some ways, you have created a new ecosystem. To prepare for your work, thoroughly understand the organization you are working for - its values, mission, people, strengths and weaknesses. Ascertain what their goals and expectations are in hiring you. Make sure they get to know you - what ...

  No matter how dark a room would be, a little ray of light would give illumination to the said room. Also, it doesn't matter whether the electric fish is scooped out from the river, it will continue to transmit electrical current until life is sniffed out of it. It is agreed no less that indeed, there is no hiding place for the goldfish. All these dark words aggregate to mean, who God has blessed, no man can curse. The name Col Milland Dixion Dikio in the coastal scape of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has continued to reverberate, resonates, and has become a beacon of hope for the younger generation. The Niger Delta-born philanthropist and most swift Administrator steady rise in the Administrative turf has put pen to paper that indeed there is a reward in the quest for knowledge through the educational atmosphere and selfless service.

Peace is a requisite element for the growth and development of any society. That is if any family, community, state, or even a country desire to move forward, then the ingredient of peace must be present in its meal. More so, whereas there is a need for peace to advance the cause of society, there is an equal need for unity and justice to sustain the peace. This is because there can be no true peace in the absence of justice. Therefore, even as the world searches for peace, there must also be a concerted effort for the enthronement of justice in the society. The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria over the years has been labelled as a hostile region by the Nigerian State. Although this assertion is erroneously conceived because the indices used in arriving at this obnoxious conclusion only considered the presence of violence and agitations while neglecting the most vital ingredients of peace; which are justice and equity. It should be noted that peace is not necessarily the absence of war or...

The holy book succinctly states that when the righteous rule, the people rejoice. However, righteousness in this context doesn't necessarily mean a fellow whose acts depict holier-than-thou, for it is a common belief that the robe doesn't make the priest. I  But, it is safe to ascribe righteousness in this sense to mean an act of goodness and a righteousness person to be someone with a good and a large heart clothed and intoxicated with the spirit of love. It is also an incontrovertible fact that someone with a large heart would make a better leader because leadership is more of service to the people than oneself. No doubt this is the reason why it is a dying wish of a people or society to have a leader who sees their problems as his, someone who is not just sympathetic but empathic, someone who will always strive to improve their pathetic condition. Put differently, a selfless and sacrificial leader is the prayer point and earnest desire of a people. In 2023, the political mar...

Like a pregnant woman on travail who no longer considers her womanhood sacred and whose mind is at such moments only fixed on safe delivery. To her, if widening her legs to the so-called admiration of the midwife would guarantee her safe delivery, why not!  This is the resolve of the people of BURUTU Local Government Area of Delta State.  The enthronement of Hon. EBIAKPO EZEBRI as executive chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Delta State Chapter is one journey they have embarked on and are not contemplating bidding a retreat. Like the goldfish that has no hiding place, Hon EBIAKPO EZEBRI has been spotted by his people from the dark to bring succour to his people for the age-long marginalization and deprivation of the Ijaws of Delta South. The choice of the grassroots politician is not unconnected to his humane disposition towards his people. Hon EBIAKPO EZEBRI is a thorough breed, one whose greed, selfishness, are not part of his fancies but his generic and recipro...

  A  wise man once said a true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough and informed decisions, and also the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He doesn't set out to be a leader but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. Put differently, what distinguishes great leaders from their unfortunate counterparts, is the content of the latter's character. The aforementioned scarce attributes that Hon EBIAKPO EZEBRI has in abundant supply are what has endeared him to his people and the universe at large. Sadly, these rare qualities of a good leader are fast going extinct because leaders have decided over time to trade it for lucre. However, there have been continuous outcries from the people of BURUTU Local Government Area in Delta South for a pragmatic leader, one they can bank on at all times. It is for this singular reason that Hon EBIAKPO EZEBRI has decided to come to the political fore, particularly the grass...

Politics as it is known is strictly a game of number, while democracy is anchored on the principle of rule of law, equity, fairness and justice. As 2023, general elections draw nearer and the political waters in Nigeria become murkier by the day, the political horse race has equally become even swifter. Though it is not unusual that the political atmosphere in the country is laced with tension, anxiety, intrigues, etc as a result of the forthcoming general elections in 2023, the times suggest that political bigwigs and gladiators have started oiling their political weapons in readiness to take a shot. However, while some have overtly made their political ambition known, others prefer to keep their cards close to their chest as they begin the perilous political odyssey. Although, it is no crime for anyone to nurse any political ambition or embark on a political journey, it is expected that the vehicle through which such a journey will be embarked upon should be on perfect working condit...
