My Dear People, It is with blossom prospects I send you this historical seasons greetings.

I say this to you, oh people of Kogi Central Senatorial District. It is no longer news that we are indeed facing trying and challenging times.

By :*Comr A Arivi* " _Semediyehuni ireche oporokoto oidaku enwu oniri enwu oyidu_" This piece has everything in connection with the seizless- failed attempt at which some of the sons and daughters of the land are hell-bent in casting aspersions against our very own sons and daughters in and outside the media space.  Have we forgotten so soon,when things fell apart, the center couldn't, hold, anachy was loosed upon the land and the falcons didn't listen to the falconers ?  Nostalgically,Let's go back memory lane.

By: Engr. Ondeku  God! You have just crushed the remaining pieces of our hearts. If this is a dream, I can't wish my enemy to have it... Weep Ebira People! Weep for a light from our household is gone, a voice we love is stilled. A place is vacant in our land that nobody can fill. Engr. Makoju is the remaining pillar on which the house is standing and I asked, who pulled down the remaining pillar of our house? This is terrible! In our minds, we always knew this time would come to pass. But knowing it, and living it, has come and gone so fast of his person. I don't got my job through him but the wisdom of knowing where to search for the job was from him. He don't teach me how to read and write but the inspiration to go to school came from him.  Others have bad stories of their deeds but I never heard one of his personality.  It's hard to say goodbye, but since we can't question the almighty God, I pray you be in the heaven with God an hour before the world
