A former Attorney General of Delta state, former Deputy Governor o and ranking lawyer, a SAN and Professor of Property Law of the University of Lagos. Prof Utuama died an elder of Ughievwen and Urhobo Nation. May His Soul Rest In Peace.

By Zik Gbemre Is President Bola Tinubu honestly reducing cost of governance? What is he going to do with 20 persons on foreign trips? What are the roles of the Nigerian Ambassadors and Diplomats? Are his frequent foreign trips necessary? No. The Ambassadors could represent the President in these foreign trips to deliver speech if necessary. Tinubu says he is reducing costs after buying a N150B new aircraft. What pretense? Can’t he travel on commercial aeroplanes? Tinubu appoints people every month to duplicate official duties already being handled by existing…

By Zik Gbemre The reported murder of police officers including a Division Police Officer (DPO) and another DPO battling for life with serious injuries in an encounter with kidnappers attests to the collapse of the security apparatus in Delta state. Insecurity in Delta especially kidnapping and wanton killings have peaked in recent times to the extent that the DPO of Agbarho Division in Ughelli North LGA is shot dead on the spot and that of Orerokpe in Okpe LGA is seriously wounded with shots to the neck among other…

By Zik Gbemre, Who is responsible for the arrest of the man who bathed in centre of a street road in Sapele in protest against non caring administration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and the Chairman of Sapele Local Government? Are they police men who were on plain clothes or thugs of politicians that arrested the man for lawfully expressing his frustration for living in a street that has a pool of stagnant water? The man didn’t fabricate lies against the Delta government led by Oborevwori. What oppression? If it is…

Dear Chief Vincent Oyibode Chairman,Udu Local Govt Council, UDU ROAD TRAFFIC JAM Greetings to you. Kindly clear the Jigbale Market,DSC Express Junction and the Ubogo Market which are daily encroaching on the main Udu road and creating a lot of traffic jam and obstruction to pedestrians/motorists. Most of the traders in the said Markets, practically put their goods and food items on almost half of the entire Udu road to sell. We believe there should be some strict control of this situation between 4pm and 8pm, so as to control…

By Zik Gbemre Nigeria is majorly divided politically by two foreign religions of Christianity and Islam. Religions ought to bring peace but in the Nigerian situation, the two foreign religions have divided the country into two major factions. Both faiths no longer trust one another. Nobody talks about good governance. It is all religion. It is never about good governance. Africans and Nigerians have fallen into it deeply and it divides the unity, progress, and development of Nigeria, Africa at large. If one doesn’t belong to any of these…

By Zik Gbemre The continuous killing of Okuama people and raiding is a cause for alarm. President Bola Tinubu as Commander-In-Chief and his military have turned Okuama community in Ughelli South into a war zone. Why is the Nigerian military using its strength to kill and destroy a remote community of Okuama? Why can’t the military use their strength to fight insurgency, banditry and Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria? Why are the Nigerian military trigger happy to fight armless civilians in Okuama community? The show of…

By Zik Gbemre What are Deltan politicians celebrating for 33 years of creation of Delta state? Are the Deltan politicians celebrating bad leadership, poverty, hunger, unemployment, kidnappings, robberies, killings and youth violence? Delta state is retrogressing and not progressing. Delta state is not lucky with leaders because supposed elected governors are imposed on the people to loot as they like. Immediate past Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s made stupendous wealth feasting on the state’s commonwealth from clinging to political offices. Sheriff Oborevwori is now at the helms, amassing wealth from the…

By Zik Gbemre How shameful can it get. What an embarrassment, that Nigeria’s President’s official jet is impounded by private companies in foreign countries. It means Nigeria as a country has totally lost reputation and dignity in eyes of the international community. Too bad. Tinubu is hardly in the country. One would have expected Tinubu to remain in Nigeria to resolve her many problems. With all his globetrotting Tinubu has lost self-dignity and self-esteem. Tinubu goes about attending summits where he is not recognized. In South- Africa recently Tinubu was…

By Zik Gbemre The creation of Federal Ministry of Livestock Development is another wastage of public funds aimed at gratifying hangers-on with compassionate appointments. The Ministry Of Agriculture is already there with all relevant departments. Rearing of cows, fowls, pigs, turkeys, snails, etc don’t require a special ministry. The clash between between herdsmen and farmers is caused by wild/unrestrained grazing of cows in farms. The herdsmen take their cows to farms to feed on crops planted by farmers. The problem is known. Wild/unrestrained grazing if stopped the problem of…
