HELPING THE NEEDY IS DOING THE RIGHT THING!


HELPING THE NEEDY IS DOING THE RIGHT THING!

'You will never go without
if you give to the poor.
But if you’re heartless,
stingy, and selfish,
you invite curses
upon yourself."
~ Proverbs 28:27 TPT

A Few years back, I was in the company of some friends along Airport Road in Warri drinking and having what we termed good time,  when a gentleman approached our table and whispered in the ears of one us that he has not had any food to eat for about two days if we can help. We were touched and everyone in the table reached to their pockets and gave him as much as each could spare

But that singular encounter got us thinking;
How many people go to Bed each night on empty stomachs?
How many are in Orphanage homes hungry for food and essentially love?
How many drop out of school because their parents can't afford school fees? Questions & more questions

That encounter gave birth to an Organization called Frendzwitoutborders, a non profit organization committed to putting smiles in faces by extending a hug for all.

But this is why am sharing this with us today;
Every year as our Nation marks her independence, we take out time with family members to put smiles in the faces of Orphans as we Party, Wine & Dine with the kids of a particular home, this is aside the Monthly visit to Orphanage or Remand or old Peoples homes, Visiting Hospitals to Settles bills for those who can't afford to pay, empowering students and pupils with back to school kits etc.

Consider how blessed you are and spare a thought for those who are not so fortunate. Lets all make the sacrifice to be part of it this year and if you can't make it. let your Money represent you!

We were in Benin last year and everyone present were touched & shed tears when the little boys in the orphanage home we visited prayed for the Team.

Your giving to the Poor is never a waste.
See you in Lagos this October for the 2018 edition.

You won't disappoint your maker!

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
