OKEHI LOCAL GOVERNMENT SET FOR TRANSFORMATION

"When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable" ~ Myles Munroe

It time we ask whoever is going to preside over our local government to come out and tell the people the purpose and function of local government as enshrined in the Nigeria constitution.

Too  many avoidable blunders have been made in Okehi local government but swept under the carpet. Time to carry the public along in the happenings of Okehi is now. It is called public office so all our activities must be made public to the good people of Okehi.

The poor don't live in functional market economies as the rest of us do, but in political economies where corruption and broken systems extend from local government to moneylenders.

Under the Local Government Act 1989, the function of local government is very broad. Sections 1 and 3A of the Act states that local government’s purpose is ‘…the peace, order and good governance…’ of their municipal district.

In practice, this means that individual councils could  determine what they need to do to ensure “... peace, order and good governance…” of their municipalities.

We the people of Okehi can not continue in the same way we choose leaders and expect to get a different result.

Local government chairman role is very important and significant and  we cannot afford to choose a person who does not feel what the people of Okehi local government are feeling.

A Local government Chairman in a layman man language, is one who brings government close to the people and relate with the people to know what they need, why they need it, and when it should be delivered to them.

No good governance if our local governments are not fixed to meet up with the current change in the state.

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow comrades, Please allow me introduce to you, Hon. Bello Muhammed Sadiq Enyi (BMS).

This young comrade, a man with great vision for Okehi LGA, who is passionate and concern about changing the current state of Okehi local government.

I was honored when he came to me and said,

"Okehi is a blessed local government but we need a progressive minded, talented and skillful youth to champion the cause of our local Government for our generation and the coming ones". This is what captivate me and am asking the great youths and the people of Okehi LGA to join us to rescue our Local Government from decay.

After due consultations, BMS has presented himself to spearhead the Youths Movement into the apex office of the Okehi Local Government Area.

Support Bello Muhammed Sadiq
Support a progressive Okehi LGA
Support CHANGE!

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte...

The Obege legend

In the earliest generations when the art of magic was yet a myth to the people, there was born a boy into a family of hunters in the village of Eika - one of the six communities that comprised the ancestral groups. He was believed to have been born with a leaf in his hand and to the elders of then, that was prognostic of what he would be - a native healer. And had grown up performing wonders. His kinsmen were all hunters, they would deny the boy the opportunity to follow them hunting, purely on age ground - and he was really too young to go hunting in the forest. They would leave him in the house with the women as they set out on their hunting expedition. But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. Obege as an adult was more than human. His fame had spread all over the land: he was a healer of most seemingly incurable diseases, he was a rain maker, assumed more divin...
