International Day Of Peace Goodwill Message By Obukome Ibru-Mukoro

As we approach the end of a day of yet another ‘International Day of Peace’, we almost certainly count it as another day achieved. That’s a prayer of grace because there are many who seem to be constantly, even if just in the last few years, very far from experiencing peace in their lives, in their environments.

 Some are victims of wars and communal clashes; others are victims of situations that should otherwise be regarded as small disagreements and disputes. But, no matter the source of the strife, we all would be happier without them. We all would rather live in a world devoid of hatred if we could!

As Africans, it certainly has not been easy, and the general belief is that a total systemic overhaul is what is needed. Yet, we see young people who are sometimes even angrier than the angry old ones! It gets more confusing every day, as we seek answers to the already existing issues.

As we approach yet another election year, as Nigerians, this is a time when more than ever, we need to find and embrace peace. We need to find and embrace brotherliness that transcends tribe and religion, a brotherliness that understands that we are stronger together and we all need one another, a brotherliness of truth and sincerity; one that is in our collective best interests, as a people, as a great nation.

Every Nigerian has been affected in one way or the other, by these issues, so many! We cannot continue to bring our own house down. We cannot continue to live in fear and distrust, enough is enough!

May the coming elections not be a reason for further division, it should be reason to come together to unite in the effort to solve our collective issues. 

Nigerians, let us work together as one people. 

Let us collectively make Nigeria great again!

Happy International Day of Peace 2022.


It’s time to smile again!

Tantita Security Services means well for all Communities Producing Oil and Gas in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

Image
The Tantita Security Services Nig Ltd. is a leading security outfit in the Niger Delta and is fast becoming a household name in Nigeria.  The foremost security outfit whose expertise is in pipeline protection is founded by one of Niger Delta foremost agitators and peace ambassador, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka General Tompolo G.O.C and is poised to rid out pipeline vandals and oil theft and their external collaborators in the oil rich Niger Delta. It could be recalled that sometime mid 2022, before the pipelines surveillance contract was awarded to Tantita Security Services, crude oil production in the Niger Delta (Nigeria) was below a million barrel a day costing the nation huge revenue loss.  But suffice to say that less than 4 months of operation, the Tantita Security Outfit with Comrade Super Layefa Kamboh, alias General Seven Seas on the driver's seat is able to reverse the ugly trend and has raised the production rate to an astronomical height of over 1...

The Exit of a Titan @ 100 Years; HRH Richard Umukoro Itemisan, his Life and Times

Image
Death as it is known is an inevitable end of all mortals and a debt all men must pay. This assertion needs no further evidence to be true because even the Biblical Methuselah once succumbed to it. However, what is most important in one's life journey on the planet earth is not necessarily its longevity, but the quality with which it is spent. No doubt, death has dealt a heavy blow and left a devastating toll on the Umukoros, Eroune community, and the entire Okpe Clan in Delta State. Born a century ago into the family of Itemisan, in the Eroune community in Okpe Clan of Delta State, HRH Richard Umukoro Itemisan, began his elementary educational journey at the then community missionary school where he obtained the mandatory certification. However, not satisfied with the level of education coupled with his desire for a more healthy society, he delved into classical traditional medicine at his youthful age and became a master in the field. HRH Richard Umukoro Itemisan, was extraordinar...

The 6th day of December is an exceptional day and would remain special in the world's calendar. 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 6th December heralds the birth of an icon into this eventful world. Moreover, the birth of a man naturally elicits joy and brings happiness to the family of the newborn, the birth of this freedom fighter is not different. No doubt birthday commemoration is a worthwhile event in the life of every homo sapiens as it begins man's journey to life on this planet earth. Once upon a time in ancient Amukpe kingdom in Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, in the serenity of the day, the cry of a child was heard in the compound of elder Pa Lucky Umukoro, whose name is Dimbainimibofa Nesta Umukoro. There is no arguing the fact that little Nesta, is a destiny child as family members and well-wishers congregated to give him a rous...
