INTERVENTION IN EGBO-IDEH COASTAL COMMUNITY: A Testimony of Leadership

In the annals of Egbo-Ideh coastal community in Delta State, a narrative of resilience and intervention unfolds, showcasing the intricate balance between nature's forces and human determination. This narrative, once fraught with the looming threat of inundation, now stands as a testament to the transformative power of effective leadership and communal solidarity.

In the recent past, Egbo-Ideh found itself teetering on the brink of devastation as the relentless surge of river waters encroached upon its very existence. The specter of imminent collapse haunted the coastal settlement, as homes and businesses succumbed to the unforgiving force of nature. The plight of its residents hung precariously in the balance, their lives and livelihoods imperiled by the encroaching waters.

Amidst this dire circumstance, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, CFR, the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate. Recognizing the urgent need for action, Omo-Agege spearheaded a remarkable intervention that would alter the course of Egbo-Ideh's destiny. His resolute determination and unwavering commitment to the welfare of the community served as catalysts for change, inspiring collective action and fortifying the resolve of the inhabitants.

Through meticulous planning and decisive execution, Omo-Agege orchestrated the implementation of a comprehensive shoreline protection initiative. This initiative, conceived in the crucible of adversity, symbolizes the triumph of human ingenuity over natural calamity. By erecting formidable barriers to stem the tide of destruction, Egbo-Ideh was endowed with a newfound sense of security and stability.

The fruits of Omo-Agege's labour are now evident for all to see. Where once there was despair, there now exists a bastion of resilience—a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the efficacy of proactive leadership. The once-vulnerable community now stands fortified against the ravages of the river, its inhabitants safeguarded from the specter of displacement and destitution.

In retrospect, the saga of Egbo-Ideh serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that decisive leadership can have in times of crisis. Omo-Agege's intervention not only averted a looming catastrophe but also galvanized a community to reclaim its future from the clutches of despair. As the pages of history turn, let the tale of Egbo-Ideh stand as a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity and the transformative potential of effective leadership in the face of adversity.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
