In a bid to boost food security and empower small-scale farmers, the Director General National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), Engr Chukwuemeka Woke, under the Renewed Hope Back to Farm Support Initiative has disbursed grant to over 300 farmers across the 14 wards of Emohua Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State.

The beneficiaries comprising 200 women and party supporters, aides to the former Chairman and social media aides, could not contain their excitement as they smile

FOR THE LOVE OF A DOLLAR, PART 2

      In our last jam-packed adventure, we hit upon what many were willing to do in these last days to secure financial freedom for themselves—many times at the expense of others.  In short, we have a lot of people in our modern era who are quite content to love a dollar more than our institutions, our nation, our homes and our children.

      How may one tell if an individual, or a group are more than happy to chase after that piece of paper?  Simple.  Study the

FOR THE LOVE OF A DOLLAR PART 1

      During my teaching days, one of my colleagues told me an amusing story about how a consultant managed to convince one of the school districts how well students behaved when classical music was played in the classroom.  Thus, the district ‘encourage’ teachers to invest in portable stereo systems and play such music to their classes.  With the mission accomplished, the consultant got their check, and the school district go ‘the latest tool’ to help in the educ

PART ONE

     Interestingly enough, somewhere in the conscience of our modern society, it has been held that it is ‘alright’ for men to be men again.  However—in my point of view—when young men are shown the ways of noble manhood, who is doing the defining?  In our modern era, a combination of social media dictation, feminist confrontation and sodomite alienation through the attempts of the ‘transgender’ sympathizers in education, media, sports and entertainment have made vain attempts to ‘defin

The Director General of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke, along with a specialized team of NOSDRA personnel and collaborative stakeholders, conducted a comprehensive site assessment in Zion City, Agum, a community in the Bukuma Island of Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State.

This initiative aims to evaluate the ramifications of a recent hydrocarbon spill and formulate an effective response strategy to mitigate the environmental impact.

HATS OFF TO THE CHRISTIAN FATHER!

      Now that we are in the beginning of a New Year, I believe that it is high time that we stop relying on the ‘bad news’ of lack of fathers (and mothers) in many homes, and sing the praises of the fathers who are on the job, doing the job, and making headway against the winds of the worldly negativity which has wrapped our American society over the last several decades.

      Feminism may be a wicked culprit—but Satan has many tricks at his disposal!

IT MUST BE MORALITY OVER MONEY!

      It’s not enough for a society to get God’s blessing but to be obedient unto him IN the blessing.

      Now that the ‘great’ election of 2024 is in our rear view mirrors, and Donald J. Trump will return to the White House in historic fashion as the 47^th President of the United States.  The ‘wizards of smart’ are singing a different tune.  Seems that the money is flowing, and the smiles are growing.  The enemies that were on the outside of ‘Trump land’ are form

In an alarming display of political naivety, the recent comments made by Governor Sir Siminilayi Fubara at the launch of projects in Ahoada and Etche have ignited outrage among the citizens of Rivers State. Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke, Director General of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), did not hold back in his rebuke, reminding the governor of the allies who paved his way to power.

"To publicly denigrate those who stood by you is not just shortsighted; it's a betrayal,

TAKE THE LONG VIEW!

      There was a time when one of the first things that an older person would ask a teenager is: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”  In that one question, the elder would demonstrate to the younger that there was more to life than ‘texting and gaming’. 

      In that one question is the wisdom in taking ‘the long view’ of life.

      Somehow, many have become ‘time compressed’ to deliberately overlook the social graces of God, Bible and ‘good religion’, as well as just

The Ogoni people have adopted a new orientation geared towards peace and development within the locality, charting a path to a permanent resolution of over three decades of conflicts with the government and Shell over oil production and underdevelopment.

This follows resolutions taken at an Ogoni congress held Saturday, November 30, 2024 under the aegis of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP). From speeches to interactive sessions, attendees resolved to move forward on the p

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN--CONCLUSION

      You may wonder why I’ve spent much of this year writing about this topic to my younger Black brothers coming along, and the next generation behind them.  Simply put, it ties in with the reason why I started writing a syndicated column in the first place. Back in the 90s, I saw little effort, but a LOT of talk in providing upright materials to encourage Black men, while the market was (and still is) flooded with material to encourage Black wo

BATTLE OF THE BOX CHECKERS, PART 3

      In the first two parts of this series, we took a brief look behind the window of D.E.I.  The world of the Marxist liberal calls it Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  In my view, it means Destroy Every Institution.  We also told of a D.E.I. officer who ‘let it slip’ who were the REAL targets of this satanic scourge.   She has since apologized for releasing the list (and letting the mask drop) for the whole world to see:

 *White People

*Able-Bodied People

*Hete

A WORD FOR CUSTODIAL PARENTS

      I’ll give you the commercial right up front.  The word is ‘forgiveness’.

      We are coming into a time of year which many judges and courts dread.  It is called the holiday pipeline.  This simply means that courts are inundated with this suit or that petition filed by some custodial parents to keep noncustodial parents from either visiting with, or seeing their biological children during the major holidays.

      While the family court system differs from state

GUESS WHAT?—YOU WILL HAVE ENEMIES!

      I had been stuck for an opening to this column, when I began to think about social media and the thousands of people who are addicted to having their postings being ‘liked’.  I’ve even read about some teens and millennials committing suicide over the lack of likes on their social media pages and postings.  Some of them listed among the dead were—surprise—social media influencers!

      Let an old P-school Ranger clue you in on one key fact of life.  You WI

IT’S SIMPLE: THE RABBLE WERE ROUSED!

      Many of the pollsters, Democrat pundits, social engineers, ‘wizards of smart’, the ‘shrews of The View’, the elites and the billionaire and celebrity classes got it wrong again as to why Donald Trump won re-election as the nation’s 47th President.  Let me spell it out in very clear terms: The Rabble Were Roused!  Folks of every stripe, color, economic class and social position made their way to the polls and sent Mr. Trump BACK to Washington with a very

WHEN DID OUR BLACK HISTORY BECOME HATE SPEECH?  PART 1

      I know that I will cause more than a few eyebrows to be raised based on the title of my column for today.  However, I trust that I’ll be able to unpack a reasonable explanation in order for we as a people to stop being programmed by the world system and get back to being a godly, prosperous and God-fearing people.

      Let me lead off with this observation about myself.  I’m a fan of US Military History. The late four-star Gen. George

The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) has signed a landmark, multi-stakeholder Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with strategic partners to enhance collaborative efforts aimed at accelerating access to clean, reliable, and sustainable energy for unserved, underserved, and peri-urban communities across Nigeria.

The signing ceremony took place in Abuja, and marks a significant step towards driving innovation and expanding renewable energy solutions in key institutions in Nigeria. With an active hi

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 11

      We’ve spent much of a great year together, examining the components of manhood that you—my young brother—will need to become an upright man in a society full of males who are not sure in what direction they are traveling.  Who knows?  There may come a time when you can pass on your knowledge to another young brother, as I have been blessed to pass on what I have learned in life to you.

      I just have a few other things to impart to you, to ad

A QUICK REFRESHER: MISS RIGHT VS MS WRONG PART 2

     Based upon the responses which I have gotten to my first column, again, I have dusted off this list from about 20 years ago and are posting the hits for the brotherhood.  Keep in mind that you may feel free to start your own list.  However, since many young men were not around when I first wrote on this subject, and since there are new generations of young man who have been raised in a feminized American society, I continue with this next col

REAL MEN DON’T NAG

      The time seems right to address this topic, considering what men have been facing.  But first, let me start off from the top of the deck.  Some of my male friends who are married have mostly daughters, and few-to-no sons.  Now, I’ve noticed something about these brothers, when it comes to relating to and talking with other brothers—there seems to be a little nagging in their voices.

      Maybe, they are upset because they haven’t been blessed with sons.

      Maybe, they
