WHY DOING THIS TO US?... A QUESTION FOR OUR LEADER - Omori Omori



28th January,  2018/ Opinion / Omori Omori 

A hand-saw is a good thing but not to shave with. We voted you with the hope of freedom and development, restructuring and dynamic change. Forgoing our champion( Senator Prince Bassey Otu) to our acclaimed Hero, the Eagle in view of achieving our aims and objectives of growth in a different way with a different person, but this as not harbour well. Kudos to this school of thought: The enemy you know is better than the angel you don't know.

Little narrative of my AGONY continues. 

Do you know Senator Gershom Bassey does not have an official email address ( as displayed in nassnig.org) or neither a website. If he dose, then why hiding it from his electorate. The recent published of phone numbers on the bill board in Calabar which are not connecting... but claimed to attend to issues just of late after alot of criticism is the highest level of inhumane, uncivilized and uncultured  act display by the Senator  which is very pitiable. On what grounds as qualified him to be professed as the most accessible and friendly Senator in CRS?

SENATOR GERSHOM BASSEY attended Manchester University, University of Wale,Brunnel University,Harvard University and Massachusetts University but has no scholarship/bursary board for Cross River State Students in his Constituency or as he personally sponsored a Cross Riverian in his Senatorial District in College of Education Akamkpa,Cross River State University of Technology or University of Calabar?  (please, put me in the know)

As far as I know our Honorable  Senator Gershom Bassey have been in government for about 20 years, one time Chairman, CRSWBL for 13 years, Chairman, CRSPAC for 3years and now doubling as a sitting Senator and  Vice Chairman, Senate Committee; Petroleum Resources (Upstream)  and i know he is nursing and tailoring is way to be the next Governor of Cross River State, this can only be possible if the Senator have proven himself worthy of the exalted position.

How many of his electorates ( not friends and families members) as he employed or empowered (directly or indirectly) into a position of influence in the society? How many employment opportunities and awareness as he created?
No hard feeling please, is just a question
 
He has not sponsored any bills, please, dont get me wrong, i mean a personal sponsored bill not co - sponsoring bills. Dose it mean that the Senator does not have intellectual prowessness again and innovative ideas to sponsor a bill? base on the fact that he studied in the best of the best schools of the world.

Senator Gershom Bassey major Constituency accomplishments since 2015 with constituency allowance of N178,866,324.00.
(4,968,509.00 * 12 = 59,622,108.00 for 1 year; 59,622,108 * 3 = N178,866,324.00 for 3 years ) are:

1. reach out to the constituents via visitation, billboard, donations and imprints of words of encouragement in his house.
2. donation of brand new buses and cash to physical challenge person.
3. donation of boat to biase and odukpani communities.
4. buying of fuel to lucky car owners in Atimbo 
5. please, you can add your own if i have missed any

In 2016, when our amiable Senator was asked about his constituency projects. This was his reply: constituency project comes with the budget and i can tell you that we have over N200million worth of projects that are on going in Cross River South. In terms of order things, we have donated buses, books, to Biase and Odukpani LGAs. we are donating buses to persons with disabilities and the women societies; we are donating 19 generating sets to small businesses. for the the Christmas and other festivities we have donated millions of naira worth of goodies to the people in the 76 wards in my senatorial district during which we have also specifically singled out widows as a group. ... and there is so much more for people so they can feel full impact of my representation at the senate. (source: orderpaper.ng)


Hmmmm.... N200m project on going (at 2016), should be completed by now and properly  commissioned. Please,  who have an idea of the project.?


My question is; what is the Senator actually doing with our one hundred and seventy eight million, eight hundred and sixty six thounsand, three hunderd and twenty four naira (N178,866,324.00) constituency allowances? 

This is about 3 years now! or are we not seeing the projects carryout by the Senator because we are busy in our respective farms?


My humbly suggestion to Cross Riverians and Nigerians at large ; NO WORK, NO PAY BILL should be sponsor and pass,with this i think the Senator will rethink and do something better than displaying phone number in the public.

Okorocha seeks unity among Igbo traders in Lagos

Ndigbo must understand Nigeria’s politics, he says BY GILBERT EKEZIE Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha, last Sunday met with leaders of various Igbo trad­ers’ associations in Lagos. The meet­ing held at the Excel Oriental Hotel and Suites, along Airport Road, Mafoluko, Oshodi. The meeting, which came few weeks after the Imo Liaison Office in Lagos organised a well-attended South East Busi­ness and Investment Summit in Lagos, centred on sensitisation, empowerment and development of Igbo traders in Lagos for a better output. Addressing the traders, Okorocha expressed gratitude for the turnout at the forum. The governor regretted, however, that the Igbo, despite their large numbers in Lagos, failed to unite to achieve their objec­tives, especially in the area of influencing some certain decisions in the state for a more conducive business environment. “I am surprised to hear that Ndi...

I made N6m as a fake lawyer

Olawale Falola  | credits: Olufemi Atoyebi A fake lawyer, Olawale Falola, said he made N6m from his victims who he promised to help secure jobs at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Falola, who was nabbed by the Oyo State Police Command during a stop-and-search in Ibadan recently, claimed to be a dropout of a university in Osun State, adding that he had deceived more than 100 people with his fake identity. It was gathered that after seeing a sticker belonging to the Nigeria Bar Association on his windscreen, the police asked him about his identity, but he failed to substantiate his claim of being a lawyer. He said, “I paraded myself as a lawyer and I have taken money from more than 100 people. I promised to get jobs for them at NNPC and security organisations. I have made up to N4m from the practice out of which I bought a Toyota Corolla car. I lived in Osogbo. I came to Ibadan to visit my family when I was arrested by the police.” The car, valued a...
