Maritime: Olotu wins outstanding woman in port operations award.

Former Assistant General Manager, Tariff and Billing at Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mrs Olufunmilayo Olotu has won an award as the most outstanding woman in port operations in Nigeria.

Olotu, who is also a former Port Manager of the Lagos Port Complex (LPC), Apapa and Calabar Port, received the award last Friday at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

In her acceptance speech, Olotu charged women not to use their gender as an excuse to underperform in any opportunity given to serve.
The organisers of the award said Olotu, during her service in NPA, was responsible for an initiative that attracted flat-bottom vessels of 200m length overall to Calabar Port in spite of the draft limitation of the channel.

The organisers also noted her export drive with Lafarge Group, Calabar that led to a bi-monthly export of cement to Port of Tema in Ghana; shrewd management of funds to clear debts arrears of over N100 million owed by previous administrations in the port and 150% increase in revenue generation.

The event was graced by eminent personalities in the maritime and energy industries.

Japa: Only 26 doctors remain out of 150 in Ondo hospital, says ARD.

The Association of Resident Doctors has said 26 out of the 150 of its members have left the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital in Ondo State due to non-payment of their entitlement.

President of ARD in the state-owned hospital, John Matthew, stated this while declaring a 14-day warning strike in Akure.

Mr Matthew, who lamented the dearth of doctors at the hospital, claimed that the government had refused to pay their seven months’ salary arrears.

He noted that the medical doctors were resigning from the hospital to seek greener pastures due to the lack of adequate welfare and payment of their entitlements.

“There are no staff members due to japa syndrome and there are only 22 resident doctors at UNIMEDTH compared to the previous figure of 150 resident doctors,” Mr Matthew said on Tuesday.

He said, “We demand full payment of the arrears of salaries owed our members and payment of February 2024 palliative to our house officers. Management should pay February hazard allowance to our members and urgently address the severe clinical manpower shortage in the institution. Our members work every day.”

Mr Matthew, however, threatened that the medical practitioners would continue to ground activities at the state government-owned medical facility if their salaries were not paid.

In January, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa promised to address the issues confronting the health sector in the state, particularly paying the outstanding entitlements of medical practitioners.

He also pledged to recruit more health workers into the state health sector to fill the gap of those who already left the government hospitals.

The service of songs held in honour of Dr. Ekine Owukori Oruwari at the Wesley Methodist Church on Harbour Road in Port Harcourt was a poignant tribute to a beloved father and esteemed member of the community. Organized by both the church and Dr. Ekine's children, the event served as a heartfelt remembrance of his life and legacy.

During the service, the congregation united in rendering hymns and offering prayers for the family, seeking solace and comfort in the midst of their loss. The church, in particular, paid special tribute to Dr. Owukori, lauding his exemplary character and role as a pillar of support and consolation within the community.

They fondly recalled his generous donation of land to the church in Abonnema, where his benevolence facilitated the establishment of a place of worship. Additionally, Dr. Owukori's contributions to peacekeeping within the church were recognized and celebrated.

The gathering was attended by a diverse array of individuals, including friends, colleagues from Ahmedu Bello University, and well-wishers from near and far. Their presence underscored the profound impact Dr. Owukori had on the lives of those around him and served as a testament to the respect and admiration he garnered throughout his lifetime.

As the community came together to honour his memory, they found solace in each other's company and in the enduring legacy of love and kindness Dr. Owukori leaves behind.

Announcing the 2024 EveAfrique Redball, May 19,2024, Abuja, Nigeria.

The organisers of the EveAfrique Annual Red Ball are pleased to announce the 14th RedBall in Support of Causes.

The event is scheduled to take place on the 19th of May, 2024 in Abuja, under the theme "Cultivating Progress in the Niger Delta: A Shared Responsibility."

In selecting Abuja as the host city for the 14th Red Ball, we hold a firm belief that the time has come for the privileged and blessed Niger Delta indigenes to step forward and unite in support of the mission of overall regional enhancement.

These individuals, whom we believe possess the capacity and aptitude to facilitate positive change in the Niger Delta, can contribute through education, employment, financial support, and awareness initiatives. Their collective efforts will play a pivotal role in fortifying the diverse industries within the Niger Delta, thus fostering growth and prosperity throughout the region.

The EveAfrique Redball has been a significant platform for raising awareness about various health issues and giving back to the state and the region, we invite you to partner with and support Eve Afrique in making the 14th Red Ball an even more impactful and far-reaching event.

We firmly believe in your understanding and appreciation of the profound difference that giving back to society can make. Your qualities and those of your esteemed organisation resonate with the spirit of this noble endeavour. Thus, we kindly extend an invitation to join us as a partner of the 2024 EveAfrique Redball in Abuja.

The theme of this year's Red Ball, "Cultivating Progress in the Niger Delta: A Shared Responsibility," highlights the collective commitment needed for regional growth and development. It underscores the significance of sharing knowledge and resources with the people of the Niger Delta, empowering them to make informed decisions and actively participate in the region's progress.

EveAfrique has successfully built a community of leaders and trailblazers across various industries.

Over the years, EveAfrique has hosted the Red ball which has drawn attention in various areas concerning health, environments and leadership. We’ve had leading agencies and organisations such as Heritage bank, Fidelity Bank, NDDC, Rivers state Government under the Ministry of health; Rivers State Primary Health Care Board, and DANALEC, ALCON Nigeria,Supreme and Mitchels, Elschon Nig, Ideascorp etc. come on board as Redball Partners.

Eve Afrique has undertaken outreaches as a give back to the society. The outreaches carried out includes;

In 2011, the Red ball visited Susannah Homes, an orphanage outside Port Harcourt with food items as a means of showing love to them.

In 2012 the Red ball hosted the Sickle Cell Awareness program in partnership with the Sickle cell interactive and management association (SCIMA). The highlight of the event was the adoption of a child with sickle cell anaemia by a partner, Stephano Piotti.

In 2013, it was the cervical cancer awareness and prevention in partnership with the Medical Women Association and the Praying and charity wives’ foundation, where over 130 women benefited from the cervical cancer screening and immunisation.

In 2014, another Red ball was hosted by the magazine tagged “Diabetic Management Awareness and Prevention in partnership with Diabetic Association of Nigeria. 40 people were tested for their sugar levels during the Event.

In 2015, impacting the Next Generation was the theme and it was geared toward educating young entrepreneurs and aligning them with mentors, over 200 of the books “15 laws of money” by Ifeanyi Eze were distributed as a tool to mentor them. The event had eminent leaders like Tina Njoku Opara, Doris Akpowa and Alex Enebeli amongst others as Speakers.

In 2016, Red ball held another awareness program for prostate cancer where 20 men were beneficiaries and 15 of these 20 were partnered by Red ball partners Steph foundation with Colwoth Hospital, we also tackled erectile malfunction at the 2016 Redball and we partnered with Dr. Adekunle of Scanners.

Eminent women in Leadership including Timipre Worlo, Dr Chizoba Wonodi and Kalanne Fubara, Director Africa International Operations of Dubai Tourism. were Speakers at the event.

In 2018, it was the colon cancer awareness which called the attention of the public to the disease at that time.

In 2019, the theme was “going greener” with the main focus on the environment and air pollution. The event was in collaboration with environmental NGOs such as Africa Center for Environmental Protection, Clean Cyclers, to promote good environment stewardship through dissemination. This led us in planting over 780 trees within and outside Port Harcourt.

The 2020 Red ball was cancelled due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent Lockdown a few days prior to the event.

In 2021, Eve Afrique hosted her Red ball with the theme “Together Securing Development and Peace Across the Niger Delta”. This event focused on the socio-economic empowerment activities in Niger Delta.

This Red Ball was in collaboration with the Princess Medical Center and Marie Thereze Aouad Lupus Foundation Emi Membere-Otaji Foundation.

In 2023, the 13th Red Ball with the theme Mental health Awareness and Management for the Niger Delta People, facts and Myths” focused on power our mental health has over our daily activities and wellness as a whole, and as a result of this the importance of passing on the knowledge from certified and recognised professionals to our Niger Delta women and men.

The EveAfrique brand continues to celebrate the milestones and impact the Red Ball for Charity Initiative has had on the Niger Delta and society at large. The theme this year focuses on our shared responsibility with govt and govemment agencies in the overall development of our people and her land, which we can all agree is an important aspect that should never be neglected.

Cross River needs over 20,000 teachers to address manpower shortage, says commissioner

Stephen Odey, commissioner for education in Cross River, says over 20,000 teachers are required to address the shortage of teaching staff in public schools across the state.

Odey, who spoke in Calabar, the state capital, on Tuesday, said the Bassey Otu-led administration would embark on “massive” employment of teachers to bridge the gap.

He said the employment would be carried out in phases due to a paucity of funds.

The commissioner said there are several ongoing reforms to revamp the education sector in the state.

“We are determined to reform the sector holistically because we want to make Cross River a reference point in the education sector,” NAN quoted Odey as saying.

“There is already a memo before the governor for us to start with the employment of 6,000 teachers.

“We discovered that many schools, especially in the rural area, had only two teachers.

“This is not how we intend to be the best in the country. The money the government paid as a fee for West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) for students in the state will amount to nothing without teachers to teach them.”

Odey said priority would be given to the employment of teachers in their catchment areas, noting that the state is not buoyant enough to pay peculiar allowances to those in rural areas.

On the payment of the WAEC fee, Odey dispelled the rumour that a list of 16,301 beneficiaries being used by the state was padded.

“The only issue that arose from the list was that we found out that some names were duplicated during compilation which brought the figure to about 16,287 students,” he added.

“Even at that, we had students from about 20 schools that were not included because of late submission.”

The commissioner said part of the education reform in Cross River is to ensure uniformity in the school system.

He said the state ministry of education is also looking to go after illegal schools.

“Upon resumption in office, I discovered that schools across the state, both public and private, operate different school calendars,” he said.

“We have been able to streamline this to a large extent and work to ensure all-around complaint across the state.”

Wike describes those supporting Governor Fubara as “political buccaneers”; confirms his relationship with Peter Odili is now strained.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has described leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State now supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara as “political buccaneers”.

This is coming after PDP leaders in Rivers State, Abiye Sekibo; ex-PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; ex-governorship aspirant, Celestine Omehia; and ex-lawmaker, Austin Opara; declared support for Fubara and also called on President Bola Tinubu to caution Wike.

In an interview with newsmen on Tuesday, April 2, Wike claimed that the so-called PDP elders are all expired politicians not worthy to be called “elder statesmen”. He also claimed that he kicked them out of the PDP and insisted that Secondus was no longer a member of the PDP as his suspension was validated by the court.

Wike “The other day, I saw a political conference organised by transactional politicians. Political vampires, political buccaneers.”

When journalist corrected the minister that those he referred to are elder statesmen, Wike said;

“Do you know who is called an elder stateman? An elder statesman is someone who must have integrity; who must not be here today and be there tomorrow. Today, they are not only serving a boy but they are waiting for him on the road. Do they have integrity? The same people who said this governor was a neophyte, how can they bring themselves to support him?

They wrote a petition when this governor wanted to collect his certificate in PDP, they carried a rumour on how he became chairman and that he is being looked for by EFCC. They said he was not coming to PDP national secretariat but they were surprised that the governor went to the PDP secretariat.

“He (Fubara) wants to be on his own with these political vampires who are always sucking. My pity for them. They are calling Nigerians to support Tinubu. That me, I am a selfish person. All of them were in power but what did they do for their people?”

Wike also disclosed that “political differences” has affected his relationship with ex-governor Peter Odili as they are now in different political camps. He questioned when Odili became the “revered leader” of the PDP leaders in Rivers State.

Iran vows revenge as it accuses Israel of deadly airstrike on Syria consulate in deepening Middle East crisis

Iran has vowed to retaliate after it accused Israel of bombing its embassy complex in Syria on Monday, in a deadly escalation of regional tensions over the war in Gaza that once again appeared to raise the risk of a wider Middle Eastern conflict.

The airstrike destroyed the consulate building in the capital Damascus, killing at least seven officials including Mohammed Reza Zahedi, a top commander in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC), and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry.

Zahedi, a former commander of the IRGC’s ground forces, air force, and the deputy commander of its operations, is the most high-profile Iranian target killed since then-US President Donald Trump ordered the assassination of IRGC Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad in 2020.

Iran and Syria accused Israel of authoring the attack, with Tehran warning of a “serious response,” and the powerful Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah saying the strike will be met with “punishment and revenge.” Iran also said it would hold the United States “answerable” due to its support of Israel.

PDP accuses Rivers assembly, APC of stampeding Fubara.

The Peoples Democratic Party has slammed the Rivers State House of Assembly and the All Progressives Congress for allegedly attempting to stampede Governor Siminalayi Fubara to act outside the law.

The PDP described the renewed threat by the lawmakers to impeach Fubara as an embarrassment and a public nuisance to the state.

The state PDP Publicity Secretary, Sydney Gbara, said this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Monday.

Recall that the 27 lawmakers said to be loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had on Sunday said they may revisit Fubara’s impeachment as a last resort to enforce their responsibilities and uphold the constitution.

Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, who read a text of a communique to newsmen, accused Fubara of acting unlawfully despite signing the presidential peace agreement in the political crisis in the state, saying the state was running without an approved budget.

But Gbara called on the lawmakers, who he said defected from the PDP to the APC without consulting their constituents, to stop disturbing the peace of the state and allow Fubara to concentrate on governance and deliver his mandate to the people.

The state PDP spokesman reminded the Amaewhule-led lawmakers not to forget that the issue of their legitimacy is before the court.

Gbara said the lawmakers have continued to make retrogressive laws and utterances that are inimical to the growth and development of the state.

The statement read, “Those people were the first beneficiaries of the magnanimity and peaceful disposition of Governor Fubara by signing the lopsided peace accord despite a court of conpetent jurisdiction that recognised Rt.Hon Edison Ehie as the Speaker of the Ribers State House of Assembly, which gave them a live line to still operate, because having defected to APC without any crises in PDP, their seats were vacant constitutionally.

“But to show how ungrateful they are, the several court cases querying their legality, seeking the interpretation of Section 109 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, will settle the dust around them in due course. No matter how long they try to run away from it, justice most be served because they no longer represent their constituencies.

Their actions are a total embarrassment to Rivers people and a complete show of public shame.

“The people elected them out of their goodwill, but they let those constituents down by pusuing selfish agenda that has further plunged the state into crises.

“The threats of impeachment is empty and and cannot stand. It is selfish and their pursuit of personal aggrandisement which will be resisted by Rivers people.

“If they want to know what Rivers people think about them, they should go to the streets to seek the opinion of the masses.

As far as we are concerned they (lawmakers) are operating illegally, hence your illegal laws are inconsequential on Rivers people.”

He also responded to allegations by the acting Chairman of the APC in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, that Fubara has not implemented the eight-point peace accord brokered by President Bola Tinubu, saying the matter is subject to litigation.

Gbara stated, “Although we are not holding brief for the state government, but for the records, as a party, let us for the umpteenth time, tell Tony Okocha that Governor Siminialayi Fubara has in his desire to further deepen peace in the state, implemented the leace accord faithfully and in such a manner that is allowed by the Nigerian Constitution.

As a law-abiding citizen, the governor has implemented that peace accord very religiously and any aspects that are not in tandem with the provisions of the law would not be implemented.

“So your attempt to try to stampede Governor Fubara into taking unconstitutional actions would not work.”

He also stated that, on behalf of NDPC, he condoled with the families of the slain officers and soldiers, including innocent lives that were lost over the brutal reprisal attacks by the Nigerian army and added that the killings were unfortunate and unusual to the culture of the Niger Delta region.

“These were troops committed to safeguard lives and properties of citizens and as such, were not deserve to be killed by the same people they were met to protect.

“We therefore, call on the Federal Government, Bayelsa and Delta State governments administer peace in the affected states to as a matter of urgency, do the needful to restore peace and order in the communities.

“We advised that the military should allow journalists to investigate and unearth what led to this dastardly act in Okuama community, as well set up an independent panel of inquiries to investigate the true cause of this barbaric act in Okuama.”

Man arrested for sodomising underage boy in Rivers.

A suspected homosexual, Chigozie Okpara, has been arrested for allegedly having carnal knowledge of an underage boy in Okujagu community in Trans-Amadi, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The suspect was apprehended by members of a local vigilante group on Sunday night, March 31, 2024, for allegedly having carnal knowledge of an underage boy.

A resident of the area told Punch that the man, who is in his 40s, said he worked with a security company in Port Harcourt and usually lured his unsuspecting victims with food and snacks into his house before defiling them.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said during interrogation by the vigilante, the man confessed that he is a homosexual and that he had been perpetrating the act while he was living in Lagos State before relocating to Port Harcourt two years ago

It was gathered that luck ran out on him when he was making out with one of his victims who was screaming in his room, and the noise attracted residents of the area who alerted the vigilante group.

“He lured the boy into his house and was doing the thing and the boy was screaming," the source said.

"So that was how they called our (vigilante) attention, and we went there and broke into the house and saw them (the man and his victim)

“That night, we took him and handed him over to the police. He is in police custody now.”

The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident on Monday, said the suspect, who is already in custody, would be prosecuted.

“Yes, I can confirm the incident. The suspect has been arrested and is presently in our custody. Investigation is ongoing. The matter has been transferred to the State Criminal and Intelligence Department. We will ensure that the suspect is prosecuted,” the PPRO said.

Pelumi Nubi finally allowed into Liberia 🇱🇷

Pelumi Nubi finally allowed Entry into Liberia. She narrated how the network of the former Nigerian Ambassador to Burundi was instrumental. “Two nights sleeping at the border trying to get this mess sorted out. Special thanks to Ambassador Elijah, the former Nigerian ambassador to Burundi. His network was instrumental in helping me contact other ambassadors, like here in Liberia”. “It's the intervention of these Nigerian diplomats that has significantly eased this journey! But it saddens me that African travelers need to go to such lengths to be able to move freely within their continent. Solo traveling and navigating these spaces are challenging, but remember that you have rights and there are people who can advocate on your behalf. Don't back down.” “I want to clarify that my videos are never posted in real time for my safety. So, if you're seeing it on my page, I'm most likely not there anymore”. “Thank you for being part of this journey! I look forward to seeing you all in Lagos at the University of Lagos on Sunday, April 7th. We made it to Liberia - the 11th country on this trip”. #eveafrique #eveafriquenews #SoloTravel #africanadventure #Peluminubi #london2lagosbyroad #TravelRights #ContinentalTravel #universityoflagos #explorepage #solodrive

I have experienced every emotion, from getting really angry to having a complete meltdown. I keep asking myself why it's so hard for Africans to travel in their own continent. Denied access here in Liberia 🇱🇷. So, here I am, spending another night at the border, learning that sometimes things happen that we can't control, but we do have a choice to control how we react to them. Phewww easier said than done. “ “In the midst of all the chaos and stress, I'm really trying to be thankful no matter what, so here I am, drinking my garri and watching the sunset. I am not giving up - I'll try again to see if they let myself and Lumi into Liberia 🇱🇷 “. #eveafrique #eveafriquenews #SoloTravel #africanadventure #Peluminubi #london2lagosbyroad #TravelRights #ContinentalTravel #universityoflagos #explorepage #solodrive

Nwesome wike speaks.

H. E. CHIEF E. N. WIKE, GSSSR, CON, THE MINISTER OF THE FCT, SPEAKING AT THE SPECIAL THANKSGIVING AND BIRTHDAY/INVESTITURE SERVICE OF HON. KINGSLEY OGUNDU CHINDA. As the Minister of FCT made his speech he admonished churches to also do what they preach following the sermon that was given by the Vicar in charge. The church should also remain steadfast, the church should also not abandon people when they’re no longer in office. When most of us were in office, there was no church we weren’t contributing to. But immediately we left office, it was a different story” #thanksgivingservice #Ogundukingsleychinda #obioakpor #Riversstategovernmenthouse #houseofrepresentatives #eveafriquenews #FederalHouseofRepresentatives #birthdaythanksgivingandelectionsuccess.

Eve Afrique

Eve Afrique was conceived based on the realization that Niger Delta people/events and developing news items have not been adequately celebrated, this is in spite of their numerous exploits in different fields of human endeavors.

Eve Afrique therefore desires to bridge this gap by celebrating our achievers/events and developing news here in Nigeria and in the Diaspora. We hope to use these successes as an inspirational and mentoring tool and to change the narrative concerning the Niger Delta.

Eve Afrique creates online and hardcopy visibility, as a platform to showcase businesses and developing news, devoted to celebrating the achievement and unique attributes of the Nigerian people in the Niger Delta regions.
